A crowd of 400 women picket the White House March 4, 1964 demanding peace in Vietnam and nuclear disarmament while carrying a 750-foot-long banner composed of dish towels with thousands of signatures.
The following excerpts are from an article by Sue Cronk that appeared in the Washington Post March 6, 1964:
“Nearly 400 women picketed the White House Wednesday afternoon in a demonstration urging president Johnson to ‘make 1964 the year the world turned away from war.’”
“Members of Women’s Strike for Peace from New York, Connecticut, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia were lobbying for a peace program that includes strong opposition to the proposed NATO multi-lateral force (MLF).
[The Multilateral Force (MLF) was an American proposal to produce a fleet of ballistic missile submarines and warships, each manned by international NATO crews, and armed with multiple nuclear-armed Polaris ballistic missiles. The proposal was floated by the Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson administrations. The proposal sparked protests and withered when American and European differences over basing strategies and financing could not be reconciled and died when the 1968 Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty was signed.]
“As they marched along Pennsylvania Ave., led by WSP founder Dagmar Wilson of Washington, they unfurled a 250-yard-long banner of dish toweling bearing thousands of signatures.”
“Some carried placards asking the President to “Find a Peaceful Solution in Vietnam” and “Make Our Earth a Nuclear-Free Zone.” A few wheeled baby carriages including Jane Ackerman of Philadelphia who brought her 7-month-old Hand to ‘ride’ his first picket line.”
“When the line broke up, groups of members dispersed to confer with various vongressmen, sdministration officials and foreign diplomats.”
“The WSP groups gathered in St. Marks Episcopal Church, 3rd and A Streets, SE, to compare notes on their visits at the end of the afternoon.”
“They reported ‘disappointment’ over the U.S. Arms Control and Disarmament Agency’s Attitude toward MLF as a ‘last ditch obstacle to proliferation of nuclear weapons.”
“They were pleased with the statements of Soviet First Secretary Viktor P. Karpov that Russia wants general disarmament, withdrawal of troops from foreign territories, observation posts to insure against surprise attacks and a non-aggression pact between NATO and Warsaw Pact countries.”

CND Rally - London, 24th October 1981
In 1981 I was an impressionable young man, standing alongside thousands of like-minded people in Hyde Park, London. The march and rally was organised by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND). Here is a close up of the stage - I think it was a GLC or union leader speaking in this shot.
"More than 250,000 people have marched through London to protest over the siting of nuclear missiles in the UK.
The rally, organised by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND), took more than five hours to get through the city centre causing massive traffic disruption.
CND officials said they were delighted with the response and had never seen such a crowd.
The marchers, made up mainly of young people, created a festival atmosphere in Hyde Park as speakers took to the stage to address the crowd."

From 10 - 14 September 2012, the UN Disarmament Fellows visited the CTBTO for a week long seminar entitled, "Empowering Diplomats, Investing in the Future: The Role of the CTBT in Disarmament and Security". The seminar featured lectures by CTBTO staff on nuclear testing history, the role of the CTBT in International Peace and Security, the Verification System, On-Site Inspections, the CTBTO response to the Great East Japan Earthquake and Fukushima Nuclear Power Plant Accident and more. The seminar concluded with a simulation of the Executive Council deliberations for an On-Site Inspection request.
Implemented by the Geneva Branch of the Office for Disarmament Affairs (ODA), the Programme has trained over 600 public officials from about 150 Member States, a large number of whom are now in positions of responsibility in the field of disarmament within their own Governments. Originally conducted for a six-month period, the Programme was reduced after 1988 to a ten-to-twelve week duration due to budgetary restrictions. From 25 to 30 fellowships are awarded every year.

Ambassador Robert Wood, U.S. Permanent Representative to the Conference on Disarmament, says the United States will refuse to take part in any CD session presided over by representatives of the Former Maduro regime.
“The United States therefore condemns, in the strongest terms, Venezuela’s presidency of this body while it is represented by members of the illegitimate Maduro regime,” Ambassador Wood said. “As such, we will boycott the CD for the next four weeks – the duration of Venezuela’s presidency. “
“The United States unequivocally deplores the unconscionable acts carried out under the Maduro regime in Venezuela. History has shown that a regime that oppresses its people and blatantly disregards the rule of law at home has contempt for international obligations and norms. The CD cannot move forward when held captive under the yoke of illegitimate leadership.”
Because of the boycott, the United States did not read its prepared statement before the CD today, but the as-prepared statement is available on the U.S. Mission website: geneva.usmission.gov/2019/05/28/2019-session-of-the-confe...

This is part a large set which I shot at the protest yesterday outside the Iraq War Inquiry headed by Sir John Chilcot, where ex-prime minister Tony Blair was recalled to re-examine his original evidence in the light of new revelations which conflict with what Blair stated at his first interrogation in 2010.
Though not as large in numbers this time, the protestors were enthusiastic and high-spirited, and several photo-friendly stunts took place along side impassioned speeches to the crowd by Andrew Murray from stopwar.org.uk, Jeremy Corbyn MP who is a leading light in the cross-parliamentary anti-war group, veteran peace campaigner and vice-president of the Campaign For Nuclear Disarmament Bruce Kent, and others including Peter Brierley whose son Shaun (Sean?) was killed in Iraq fighting Blair's illegal war.
1 June 2011, Nyala: FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE.
Former members of the Popular Defense Force (PDF), as more than 1,000 ex- combatants (army and rebel members) of the Darfur conflict participate in a reintegration program held at the National Service Camp in Nyala (South Darfur). The initiative is organized by the North Sudan DDR (Disarmament, Demobilization and Reintegration) Commission with the support of UNAMID.
The opening ceremony was on 22 May and the activities will continue until 5 June, 2011.
The program provides former combatants (already disarmed) with financial assistance (in the amount of 800 Sudanese pounds), technical support, medical examinations (HIV tests included) and advisory services to restart their life as civilians.
The Popular Defense Force (PDF), formed in 1989 as a dedicated Islamist militia, was the main instrument for mobilization in Darfur, sending tens of thousands of Darfurians to fight against southern rebels. In most parts of Sudan today, the PDF is an inactive reserve force to the regular army.

Two of the hundreds of members of Women’s Strike for Peace picket the White House January 15, 1962 demanding disarmament and the end of nuclear testing.
This demonstration was a follow-up to their first protest the previous year.
Shown in the photo are Betty Corwin (left) and Ottillie Kaufman from Westport, Connecticut with balloons reading “Peace or Perish.”
The group sent shock waves through the U.S. the year before when the group arose spontaneously and held demonstrations in more than 60 cities and staging a march on Washington in November to protest against nuclear testing fallout and the lack of a test ban treaty.
President Kennedy responded to that demonstration by saying, “I saw the ladies myself. I recognized why they were here. There were a great number of them. It was in the rain. I understood what they were attempting to say and, therefore, I considered that their message was received.”
HUAC responded by scheduling hearings into alleged communist domination of the Women’s Strike for Peace and held three days of hearings Dec 11-13, 1962.
Of the 11 witnesses called, nine invoked the Fifth Amendment and refused to testify. The final witness, Dagmar Wilson, founder of the group, gave full testimony in front of 500 supporters in the committee hearing room.
When asked if she would purge communists from the organization, she responded “certainly not” and if asked if she would make the movement equally open to Nazis and Fascists, she replied, “If only we could get them on our side.”
During the hearing, committee counsel Alfred Nittle asked Wilson if she had orchestrated simultaneous demonstrations in 58 American cities on Nov. 1, 1961. Wilson responded that the spontaneity of the feminine peace movement was “hard to explain to the masculine mind.”
As each of the previous women called to testify refused to answer committee questions, each woman was applauded by the partisan audience. Wilson said at the end of the hearing that, “Solid support of the women for those who took the Fifth [Amendment] is an indication that we are simply not concerned with personal points of view.”
Following the hearing, the women marched to the White House where they picketed with signs reading, “End the Arms Race, Not the Human Race” and “Peace is American.”

"Stop Bombing libya" demand the Stop the War Coalition - London, United Kingdom 12.07.2011
Protesters representing Stop the War, Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament and Libyan nationalists protested on Tuesday 12th of July 2011 opposite the Houses of Parliament, calling for an immediate end to the bombing of Libya by UK forces operating under NATO command.
On February 15th 2011 the United Nations Security Council passed Resolution 1973 which authorized an internationally organised no-fly zone in Eastern Libya specifically for the protection of civilians there who were being attacked by Gadaffi's forces. Without warning on March 18th, Barack Obama announced that NATO was taking over the operation from the United Nations, and it is now admitted freely by the USA, NATO and our own William Hague that the mission is actually to kill Colonel Gaddafi - in flagrant violation of International Law, regardless of where one's sympathies lie. It is yet another illegal war launched by the USA, Britain and France against yet another (strangely coincidentally) oil-rich sovereign state which was posing no threat to the USA whatsoever - unless, of course, you include Gadaffi's announced plans to stop trading oil in US dollars and Euros and to move onto a gold standard.
www.alhayatwadounia.com/?p=1386
It is a good indicator of the degree to which we have been lied to as a nation by David Cameron, his ministers and "special advisors" in the concentrated media propaganda storm of distortions, myths and blatant lies neccessary to convince the British Public that this illegal war has some kind of moral justification. We were initially told this "humanitarian" mission would be over in weeks and would be a bargain at "tens of millions of pounds". Over four months later the government has admitted that the cost so far has been "About a quarter of a billion pounds", from which we can safely assume we're probably looking at closer to half a billion pounds at the very least, with no end in sight.
It was announced by the Ministry of Defence today that another four RAF Tornado fighter bombers would be joining aerial missions over Libya, which is additional to the four extra Tornados deployed in April. It is now discovered - but not admitted in public by the government, even in Parliament - that the UK has commenced aerial Drone operations over Libya. I fear the true scale, costs and consequences of UK involvement in this dispute may take many years to uncover by which time, of course, all the main players will all be safely retired from government and will be reaping their rewards in the form of lucrative directorships of banks, oil and armaments companies which is the time-honoured British way.
As Tariq Ali so eloquently pointed out later that evening in the Parliamentary Afghanistan Withdrawl Group public meeting in the Houses of Parliament, support for the end of NATO bombing in Libya does not in any way imply sympathy for the Gadaffi regime any more than wanting to end the war against Iraq implied support for Saddam Hussein.
