Cardiff Stop the War was first launched 22 years ago, the week after 9/11. We are the oldest still-active peace group in the capital city of Wales. This is our new account. We look forward to sharing information on local, national and global peace and Palestine issues and actions.

BREAKING: Cardiff Council, Wales' biggest local authority, has just voted to tell the Welsh Pension Partnership & Cardiff and Vale Pension Fund that it does not wish its pension fund associated with companies potentially complicit in war crimes. First Welsh council to do so
