Liverpool Ash Wednesday Vigil
On 17th February, members of Liverpool Pax Christi held a socially-distanced, silent vigil against nuclear weapons and called on the British Government to sign the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Pictures of the event are below and you can find out more about their campaigns on Twitter
Nuclear Ban Week of Action – Virtual Lobby of Parliament
The Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) – which officially becomes international law on January 22nd – offers the UK government an opportunity to engage in the global nuclear disarmament process, and honour its commitment to a world without nuclear weapons. But shamefully the UK government refused to even participate in the treaty talks and now says it will never sign. But that will not stop us from making progress.
CND is therefore calling a period of action in the run-up to the treaty entering into force and asking our supporters to arrange a meeting with your MP between January 11th-22nd.
Put pressure on your M.P.
We need you to contact your local MP to explain why this treaty is so important. Face to face meetings may not be going ahead but you can request a virtual meeting with your MP.
- Request a meeting with your MP
- Read CND’s briefing on the treaty
- Sign up for a briefing session with the CND team before your meeting
Why this action is important
This is a historic treaty which is a significant pointer towards changing international attitudes to nuclear weapons. Previous treaties prohibiting chemical and biological weapons helped to stigmatise them in the minds of the public. This is now taking place with nuclear weapons and we need to explain to MPs how they can be on the right side of history.
