London CND member Annie Tunnicliffe gets a mention in the letters page of The Guardian, in response to a recent column by Zoe Williams about growing up in the shadow of the nuclear bomb. The piece mentions the historic Aldermaston marches and Annie is quick to point out that the organisation is not a thing of the past:
“The historical references to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament in Zoe Williams’ piece may lead readers to believe that it is something from the past. In fact, CND is still vigorously campaigning against nuclear weapons, as it has since its beginnings in the late 50s. There is a thriving membership, with groups across the country campaigning locally and nationally for nuclear disarmament.
CND has a website and is active on social media – and if your algorithms aren’t showing you that, maybe seek us out and join us.”
