WHAT IS CND?
CND stands for Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. Yorkshire CND is a regional group that supports local campaigners to take action.
Yorkshire CND works with an alliance of anti-Trident organisations, trade unions, climate activists, international peace organisations, and faith communities to achieve our goal of a world free from nuclear weapons.
We are a regional branch of National CND, but are constituted separately, so by becoming a member you can have a say over our campaign work and your money will go directly to supporting local campaigns.
We are funded entirely by our members and supporters. We are a proud, grassroots movement comprising of local groups and activists!
By becoming a member you will also be eligible to vote for, and join, the coordinating committee at our AGM every January. You will receive regular member-exclusive updates e.g. through our quarterly Action For Peace newsletter.

OUR CAMPAIGNS INCLUDE...

MENWITH HILL
We campaign on Menwith Hill, a secretive US NSA run base in the heart of Yorkshire that is not only a surveillance centre, but plays a key role in US Missile Defence.

FYLINGDALES
We also oppose another landmark US base on the North Yorkshire Moors, 'RAF' Fylingdales. It is one of 3 radar stations in the US Ballistic Missile Early Warning System, part of the US 'Star Wars' programme.

THE TPNW
Our members are building support for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) across Yorkshire, by lobbying MPs to sign the ICAN parliamentary pledge and encouraging City Councils to pass motions in support of the Treaty.
