Greater Manchester & District CND and Yorkshire CND are hosting a gathering open to all Northern CND and peace groups. This is an opportunity to come together, share skills and knowledge, & discuss the challenges facing peace campaigners.

Topics for discussion:

• Taking the fear out of direct action
• Stop US nukes coming to Britain
• Don't make bombs, make the future!

Some light freshments will be provided, and we encourage attendees to bring a small vegetarian/vegan meal for the potluck. We also courage you to bring gluten-free items and list any allergens if bringing something for the potluck!
