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.
CND remains busy today, vigorously calling for an extension of the New START Treaty, which limited the number of strategic weapons that the US and Russia could possess and expired in February 2026. So, how does CND function, and what has it so far achieved?
