YS for YCND is a new campaign set up to help organise YS branches and YS members who want to build YCND.
The YS officially supports YCND but in practice does no more than give out leaflets which preach about the need to nationalise the arms industry.
YS for YCND tecognises the need to convince CND that its policies will only be carried out by the labour movement but we don't think this will be done just by preaching leaflets. Only by getting actively involved with YCND will we be able to draw the YS and YCND closer together.
YS for YCND is concentrating on organising for the Rock the Bomb festival on May 7. There will be a YS cimpaign contingent on the march to Brockwell Park, and groups will be working with local YCND to organise events. to get people to the festival.
As well as the Festival there are the blockades of Greenham Common (women only) and Burghfield (mixed) from March to 1 April. And on April 1 a human chain will link the two blockades via the Aldermaston research centre.
Publicity for Brockwell Park (postage cost only) and for the chain and blockade (cost price) is available from CND, 227 Seven Sisters Road, London N4.
