Count the UK nuclear weapons money

Our event, ‘Count the money we spend on nuclear weapons – and divert it to saving our climate’, is taking place tomorrow (Saturday 26 October) from 10.00-16.00 outside the Ministry of Defence in London.

You are very welcome to join us.

We will be counting £5.2 billion; the amount the UK spends on its nuclear weapons programme in a year.  We will be physically counting 10,400 x £500,000 notes.   We will be demanding that the money is spent instead on addressing the climate emergency.

This action is the London companion event to the international ‘Count the Nuclear Weapons Money‘ action taking place in New York throughout UN Disarmament Week (24-30 October).  The New York action started yesterday.
