Action AWE Newsletter: April 2014

“We have a window to act now. If we push on scrapping Trident now, we’ll win. With the confluence of the international movement to ban nuclear weapons, and UK popular opposition to spending money on illegal weapons during a time of austerity, this is a once in a lifetime opportunity to get rid of Britain’s nuclear-weapons of mass destruction.” - Dr. Rebecca Johnson, international anti-nuclear campaigner, Acronym Institute http://www.acronym.org.uk/ & ActionAWE actionawe.org Latest actions Action…

Ken Loach

“Spending £100 billion on replacing Trident is a catastrophic folly. I’m sure I am one of many who support the those, like Action-AWE, who campaign actively and imaginatively against it”

– Ken Loach

John Hurt

".....the government has pledged to rebuild a new generation of British nuclear weapons at enormous cost and at a time when social services budgets including those for health and education are being drastically cut. Having nuclear weapons doesn't make us safer, it just brings the possibility of nuclear conflict ever closer. We need to protect this planet not put it at even more risk of destruction. We all have a voice so please use yours and join me in supporting ACTION AWE." John Hurt
