No nuclear power plant in Koodankulam!
In the face of massive protests from local people, the Indian government has been constructing a large-scale nuclear power plant in Koodankulam in South India. More than 300 people are on hunger strike in protest against the construction.
Join us in supporting them and the thousands of others who have been harassed and imprisoned for protesting against the building of this dirty and dangerous nuclear power plant.

NO TO NATO: Protest at the US Embassy on the 19th May
Don't Attack Iran - Troops Out of Afghanistan - No Intervention in the Middle East
- 1pm, Saturday 19th May
- US Embassy, Grosvenor Square, London W1A 2LQ
- Called by Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and Stop the War Coalition
- Email ben.folley [at] cnduk.org for more information
With protests planned outside the 25th NATO summit in Chicago, a big No to NATO rally in solidarity with them will take place outside the US Embassy in London on 19th May.
The NATO Heads of Government are officially due to discuss the 'capabilities it needs to defend its population and territory and to deal with the challenges of the 21st century'.
In reality the summit will discuss the ongoing occupation of Afghanistan, drone attacks on Pakistan and potential interventions in Syria, Iran and elsewhere.
Make sure you're there to show your solidarity with the planned protests in Chicago and to demand an end to NATO's self-appointed police force of the world.
*Join the Tweet-out this Thursday*
On Thursday 17th May there will be a coordinated 'Tweet-out'. We'll use this to release the joint statement on NATO that we've put together with the US antiwar movement. We've lined up several supporters with big twitter followings, but we need as many people as possible - whether your followers number tens or thousands - get involved.
Join the Tweet out next Thursday, starting 1pm.
The hashtag is #May19No2Nato.
Do start using this hashtag from now as well as on Thursday.
