Wearing your protest for all to see This badge protests against
nuclear power. The issue was very important during the 1980s in
Britain. This design is just one of many that people wore to
show their opposition. It shows how local politics can make a
difference. Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament The Campaign for
Nuclear Disarmament (CND) held demonstrations against nuclear
weapons and nuclear power. They called for their destruction.
The campaign included setting up the Women's Peace Camp at
Greenham Common in Berkshire. The women were protesting against
American plans to store Cruise missiles there. The camp was
disbanded in September 2000 after 19 years of continuous
occupation. Other political causes Wearing CND slogans such as
the one on this badge helped draw attention to the nuclear
debate. Organisations such as Friends of the Earth also produced
designs that protested against pollution and nuclear energy and
raised public awareness of environmental issues. Museum number
