Responding to President Trump’s announcement that more US troops will be sent to Afghanistan, Stop the War convenor Lindsey Germany argues the only solution is to ‘recognise that this intervention is a major part of the problem and to get all the troops out’.
PeaceLine editor Jim Brann (4th right) and London CND chair Carol Turner (5th right) joined a Stop the War’s protest at Downing Street earlier this year.
So Donald Trump continues to get even more unpopular, if that were possible! CND is supporting a Stand up to Trump coalition protest outside the US Embassy this Saturday – can you join us?
The protest has been called in response to Trump's threats that he will unleash a nuclear war with North Korea. The US and South Korea are due to start inflammatory military exercises next week, which can only increase tensions. We’ll be calling for a de-escalation in hostilities from both sides: Britain should apply pressure on the US, as its ally, to pursue a political solution to the crisis.
We’re hoping as many of you as possible can join the CND bloc, which will be meeting at 11:30am at the Dwight Eisenhower statue (which is on the right-hand side if you are facing the embassy).
Do you have time, energy or skills to contribute to London Region CND? We’re building a volunteer hub and we need you.
We're looking for people to help with:
Envelope-stuffing
Staffing a London CND stall at events
Providing a car/van for events and protests
Letter-writing
Or if there’s something else you’d like to help out with, let us know!
