Public Meeting: Stop Trident 2016 – Information and strategies to Ban the Bomb!

A regional grouping of peace and disarmament organisations, affiliated to the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament.

Greater Manchester & District CND

Trident is Britain's nuclear weapons system. It's made up of four submarines, each carrying up to 40 nuclear warheads on board. A Trident warhead is estimated to be eight times more powerful than the bomb dropped on Hiroshima. If Trident were used, millions would die.
The government has announced plans to build a new generation of nuclear-armed submarines, at a cost of more than £100bn over its lifespan. A vote in Parliament is expected in 2016.
We have invited speakers from a range of anti-war organisations to brief us about the Trident replacement plan and strategies and tactics to stop it. Let's join together to rid the UK of these disgusting, inhumane weapons of war!
Come join the discussion (and bring your ideas!)
Speakers include:
Julie Ward MEP - North West Member of the European Parliament (Labour) 
Shadia Edwards-Dashti – National Officer, Stop the War Coalition
Dr Rebecca Johnson - Steering Group, International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons // Spokesperson on Security, Peace and Defence, Green Party 
Penny Hicks - Convenor, Manchester People's Assembly
Dr Philip Gilligan - Chair, Greater Manchester Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament
