CAAT Edinburgh Early Birds
The Edinburgh CAAT group were out bright and early recently to distribute leaflets at the Scottish Parliament calling for Scotland to become nuclear weapon free. Their vigil formed part of a series, where campaign groups in Scotland committed to each spending one morning outside Parliament.
The aim is to show that groups involved in all sorts of issues want to see Trident our of Scotland. Their leaflet highlighted the message:
“The Scottish Government is in a unique position. It opposes Nuclear Weapons in a country that hosts them.
“We are here to say good morning, and let you know how much and how many of us want our Government to act against Trident and that we will support them by keeping the focus on, and backing up their actions on topics like:
- conversion of Trident related jobs to socially useful work
- stopping the dangerous nuclear convoys on the roads
- how Scotland can uphold international law and help make the world safer
- any other aspect of what could be done to make Scotland Nuclear weapon free”
