WE NEED YOUR HELP. THIS IMPACTS ALL OF US.

There is growing discussion around the possible return of military conscription or compulsory national service in the UK. Conscription would remove choice from young people at a critical stage of their lives and place them into military service against their will.

We call on the UK government to:
🕊️ Rule out any future conscription, mandatory national service, or registration in the UK
🕊️ Protect the rights of conscientious objectors who refuse military service

Please sign and share the petition with your networks 👉

The debate around bringing back military conscription in the UK is rising. Forcing young people into the armed forces deprives them of choices and would be a colossal waste of funds during a cost of living crisis. Add your name to tell the government to rule it out!
