Trident Ploughshares is aUK-based disarmament campaign that focuses on the abolition of nuclear weapons, particularly the UK's Trident nuclear submarine system. Founded in 1998, the organization promotes nonviolent direct action and civil disobedience as methods to draw attention to the dangers and ethical implications of nuclear weapons. The name "Trident Ploughshares" references the biblical imagery of turning swords into ploughshares, symbolizing the transition from military to peaceful purposes.
