We in East London Youth CND want to raise our voices along with the thousands of others in protest at this criminal act.
With our health service crumbling about our ears and unemployment over 20% (official figures!) East Londoners - and especially young people - know only too well where Thatcher's priorities lie.
In East London we've had enough of this - we're fed up with going straight from school onto the dole queues and most importantly we're fed up with not knowing whether or not we will have any future.
For East London youth, campaigning against weapons of mass destruction and for our jobs, and exposing the farce of civil defence - for there's no hope of us surviving a . nuclear holocaust - is the only hope for our future.
A couple of months ago, Youth CND groups from Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Newham, Barking and Waltham Forest got together to form East London Youth CND. The idea is to enable us to coordinate our local activities better - and so have bigger impact in this vital year against the missiles.
We have organised a two day march on the 17th and 18th of September, calling it Leggin' It For Peace! The first leg of the march will be from Kelvedon Hatch, which is a Civil Defence HQ to the Wanstead bunker -which was to be area control for East London 'til the GLC closed it down! - where we hope to have a film and disco.
The next day the march will continue through East London to London Fields in Hackney where we will have a rally (to which Tony Benn and Ken Livingstone have been invited) followed by one last bop - just to finish everyone off completely!
We need a lot of support to make this event a real success, and a way of attracting people to the disarmament movement in East London. The best ways you can help are by joining the march if you are young - and helping us financially if you are not so young! All individual donations will be really gratefully received - but also aise it in your trade union, political organisation or commulity groups and sponsor a narcher.
With your help 'Leggin' It ¿ For Peace' will make the oices of protest that much ruder.
Together we can stop the omb! • Anyone interested in joinig the march, or helping ut financially or otherwise, hould write to East London outh CND, 39, Albion Rd., ondon E17.
