We are delighted to welcome aboard Emma Dent Coad, London CND’s newest Vice President. She joins Bruce Kent, Jenny Jones and Catherine West. All four Londoners will be helping attract support and increase interest in nuclear disarmament across the capital in the months and years ahead.
Emma Dent Coad was MP for Kensington 2017-19 and is perhaps best known as the first Labour MP ever to win the seat. The Grenfell Tower fire happened only days after her election, and Emma became a nationally-recognised figure criticising Kensington and Chelsea Council for their failings which led to what she considered an ‘entirely preventable’ tragedy. A long-time opponent of nuclear weapons, Emma became Labour Vice Chair of Parliamentary CND speaking out against Trident and opposing war. She was born and educated in London, graduating from the Royal College of Art with an MA in the History of Design and continuing her studies at the University of Liverpool’s School of Architecture. Emma has been a Kensington Councillor since 2006 and continues in that role. Westminster’s loss is London CND’s gain.
