From Wikipedia:

"The Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) is an organization that advocates unilateral nuclear disarmament by Britain. It also campaigns for international nuclear disarmament and tighter international arms regulation through agreements such as the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. It opposes military action that may result in the use of nuclear, chemical or biological weapons and the building of nuclear power stations in the UK.

"CND was formed in 1957 and since that time has periodically been at the forefront of the peace movement in the United Kingdom. It claims to be Europe's largest single-issue peace campaign. Since 1958, it has organised the Aldermaston March, which is held over the Easter weekend from Trafalgar Square, London, to the Atomic Weapons Establishment near Aldermaston."

Is this what is troublin' you, cousin? I don't know about other Americans but I had never heard of such an organization/project. And since I have no energy invested in the pros and cons of the issue I still don't see any inappropriateness of a private body advocating nuclear disarmament in the cause of peace. If Google were a government (The State of Google), perhaps.
