A Lambeth CND 'March for our Future' badge. The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament was launched in 1958 at a public meeting in London where CND advocated unilateral nuclear disarmament and urged Britain to destroy its nuclear weapons. As the threat of nuclear war waned after the Cuban missiles crisis, so did CND's membership. However, the deployment in 1979 of American Cruise & Pershing missiles in Britain attracted thousands of new members and the then government responded with an anti-CND propaganda unit and used MI5 to counter its influence. With the end of the Cold War in the late 1980s, membership again declined and today the organisation is concerned with lobbying MPs and attending international conferences to further its aims for a world free of nuclear, chemical and biological weapons of mass destruction.
