www.cnduk.org/aldermaston

Time for action:
Thousands will be converging on Aldermaston on 24 March - let's make sure we send a strong message to the government!

Resources are now available to help mobilise

Action packs are now going out to all local groups. These contain leaflets, mobilisation pack and model press release to help you generate publicity in advance of the action. If you are not from a CND group but aim to bring others with you to the event then please contact the office for a copy. Mobilising leaflets are now also availible to order free from the CND office.

Check the Aldermaston website, to see what transport is currently organised. If you have booked a coach or minibus, please make sure that you let CND know - e-mail mellcndeast@cnduk.org or phone either 0845 337 0282 or 07760 161755 - so that this can be publicised on the website.

Also, visit the website to find out more about the themed 'decade of protest' gates. What decade are you or your group going to celebrate?

Mobilisation

Start getting the word out now to all your local group members, to other peace, anti-war, green and anti-poverty groups, to local churches and mosques and to trade union branches and colleges. Don't forget friends, family and work colleagues.

Sign-up to the event on and invite your friends

Contact your local press, with personal stories of who is taking part in the action and ask them to run a piece in advance (to help build publicity)

Put up posters in your local shops, library, colleges and community centres

Find out what appropriate local events and festivals are taking place and see if you can book a stall or give out leaflets.

Organise a stunt in the local shopping centre or busy high street to attract attention when leafleting.

Think about what sort of visual presence you will have on the day - banners, pictures, artwork, poems - and factor that into your activities.
