60 Faces: Jacqui Burke -

Jacqui has been the Regional Development Worker for Greater Manchester & District CND for 15 years. She first got involved with anti-nuclear campaigning at 17, when she spotted a poster looking to set up a new CND group taped to a tree on the way to school. Jacqui went along and became a founder member of the Telford Anti-Nuclear Group.

‘My commitment to CND has not wavered since those early days and I am very proud to be a staff member,’ says Jacqui. Jacqui’s campaigning encompasses organising and mobilising for protests, lobbying, encouraging CND groups, speaking at schools, working with other peace groups and blockading.

Jacqui is also encouraging the next generation by taking her daughter to CND demonstrations.

Incredible people have shaped our history,
our present and will continue to inspire in the future.
