It’s been a busy year, and with activities in the pipeline, our Vice President Catherine West MP is appealing for financial support for London CND’s work in future: ‘Thank you to everyone who's played a part in London CND’s work this year. I’ve enjoyed meeting many of you at our annual conference and Hiroshima Day film show – a terrible reminder of why we do what we do. And what good news it was to get recognition of this with the Nobel Peace Prize award. I write to share some of our plans for the year ahead, and ask you to make a financial contribution towards London CND’s work.
Walter Wolfgang, a member of London CND’s executive committee, this week received a Merit Award for his years of dedication to the party. Walter joined Labour in 1948 after fleeing Nazi Germany and he has spent his life fighting for peace, justice and socialism.
Here is his touching acceptance speech.
