History

The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) was founded in Great Britain in 1958. It quickly became known for the staging of large-scale street protests from London to the atomic weapons facility at Aldermaston—the so-called Aldermaston Marches. Throughout its history, CND has worked tirelessly to rid Britain and the planet of nuclear weapons. Indeed, the organization has played a prominent role in the effort to ban the bomb globally, and has made its voice heard during some of the most alarming nuclear standoffs in world history. And CND remains busy today, protesting the war in Ukraine and loudly condemning Russian president Vladimir Putin's threat to deploy tactical nuclear weapons on the battlefield.
