Meeting at Hyde Park Corner at 12 noon, we will march through London to Parliament where a rally will be held in Palace Yard at 2.30pm

The catastrophe in Japan continues to unfold, with contamination spreading across the country and into the Pacific ocean.

Meanwhile in the UK nuclear new build hangs in the balance as EdF, the only developer still willing to invest, seeks economic subsidies from our government.

Taxpayers are already paying £1.5billion a year to manage the existing radioactive waste legacy ineffectively at Sellafield. And no long term storage solution has been found.

Now is the time to make your feelings heard on our energy future. Do we invest in genuinely clean, sustainable electricity, and reduce our demand by improving efficiency? Or do we let big business drag us further into the toxic morass of nuclear power?

The Government is poised to announce planning permission for the new nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point in the next few weeks.

Come with us and remind them of the appalling consequences of nuclear technology. We don't buy their greenwash.
