Originally published by Lakenheath Alliance For Peace, 16 May 2025

From 14 to 26 April 2025, the Lakenheath Alliance for Peace (LAP) organised an international two-week peace camp outside ‘RAF’ Lakenheath. The camp brought together peace activists, artists, faith leaders and community members in opposition to the return of US nuclear weapons to UK soil. This gathering marked a renewed commitment to nonviolence, international solidarity and nuclear disarmament.

This year’s camp was particularly significant as it coincided with the 40th anniversary of the Greenham Common Women’s historic resistance against US cruise missiles. Their presence reminded us that the struggle for peace is long-term, intergenerational and still as urgent as ever.

Throughout the camp, there was a 24-hour vigil at the main gate of the base. Each day had a different theme, combining education, action and artistic expression. On Day 1, a formal letter was delivered to base commanders expressing concern over the return of nuclear weapons. Day 2 featured a musical performance by Dave Rovics and a message from Peggy Seeger. On Day 3, protest choirs and folk musicians gathered to sing against militarism, nuclear weapons and climate injustice.

Day 4 welcomed the return of Greenham Women, who engaged with local residents in Brandon. Day 5 was Climate Day, with a workshop linking military emissions to climate change and a creative action decorating the base fence with protest banners. Other days highlighted topics such as war crimes and genocide, democratic resistance, interfaith peace-building, and international cooperation.

On Day 12, a group of women, intersex, non-binary and trans activists staged a topless blockade, leading to three arrests. The final day saw over 250 people protesting at the gates, with many participating in a nonviolent blockade and seven arrests being reported.

The camp has ended, but the work continues. LAP calls on all members and supporters to take part in upcoming monthly vigils. Whether for two hours or a full day, your presence contributes to a wider movement for peace and disarmament. These actions help build connections between local struggles and the global movement to end nuclear violence.

Together we resist. Together we work for peace.

Izumi Nakamitsu, High Representative for Disarmament Affairs, issued the following message on the occasion of the 2025 Global Days of Action on Military Spending. | 28 April 2025

Each year, the Global Days of Action on Military Spending serve as a stark reminder of the increasingly volatile and tense state of the world. They have become an unfortunate tradition to reflect on the implications of the worrying trajectory of military spending, rising levels of armed violence and increased suffering for many in all regions of the world.
