A letter to religious leaders

With the help of Bruce Kent and Christian CND, we have written a letter calling religious leaders to participate in the London Nuclear Ban Communities initiative. We hope it will help you collect pledge signatures from religious individuals in your locality.

We’ve added it to the Toolkit among other letters to London Borough Councils, Majority Groups, Councillors, local organisations and local Labour Parties. You can find the Toolkit below:

The letter

Dear [NAME ]

[I / We] write to seek your support for the London Nuclear Ban Communities initiative, which encourages London to join the growing ranks of cities pledging their support for a global ban on nuclear weapons internationally.

The London Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament is part of a peace campaign taking place across Britain to persuade the UK government to sign and ratify the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) which passed into international law on 22 January 2021.

Nuclear weapons are capable of murdering millions of innocent people by the press of a button. There is no faith on earth which would support such a position, and the leaders and members of all the major faiths have opposed nuclear weapons since their invention. People of faith have hope for a better world where we can be rid of this threat.

[I / We] enclose:

·        an appeal for support from Emma Dent-Coad, who is leading the campaign in London,

·        The London Nuclear Ban Communities Pledge, which can also be signed directly on our website: https://www.londoncnd.org/sign-the-pledge
   

[I /We] would be pleased to discuss this initiative further with you and/or let you have more information about the Treaty and the campaign. Please get in touch [contact details]

Yours in peace,

No to a new nuclear arms race

The UK government has announced it will increase the number of nuclear warheads in its arsenal for the first time since the Cold War. It will also stop publishing figures on the size of its nuclear stockpile.

Increasing our nuclear stockpile does nothing to protect Britain from the real threats we confront, and flies in the face of growing public support for nuclear disarmament. London CND believes this change of direction will make this country and the world less safe by triggering a new nuclear arms race.

We will be bringing you more in the months ahead, meanwhile CND already has a number of activities planned. Check them out here.
