Activists Apply Fresh Pressure asa Scotland Rejects Trident
|
A recent Teletext poll showed a massive 85% rejection of nuclear weapons in Scotland and the Church of Scotland Assembly has given a unanimous restatement of its opposition to nuclear weapons.
Greatly encouraged by this strong support Trident Ploughshares 2000 activists will gather at Coulport this coming weekend to step up their campaign of non-violent direct disarmament.
The camp will run at Peaton Wood near RNAD Coulport (30 miles from Glasgow) from Friday 14th to Monday 17th May. Among a range of expected disarmament activities the highlights will be:
Saturday 15th: Street campaigning in Helensburgh from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. Photo opportunity at 2 p.m. on sea-front just to the north of the Pier.
Sunday 16th: 11 a.m. Service of Worship by Quakers at Faslane North Gate.
1 p.m. Concerted action against the Faslane Base. Photo Opportunity at Faslane North Gate, 1 p.m.
Among the political supporters who are likely to be present will be TV presenter Lloyd Quinan and Neil McCormick of the SNP.
