Please Share Widely.We need letters (bit.ly/write-cm) sent to NYC Council Members urging their sponsorship of RES 423, which would put the city on record urging Congress to substantially cut the swollen Pentagon Budget which robs money for vital services that our residents want and need. ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬This video shows you how easy it is to send a letter. Take a look!

Brooklyn For Peace


Jun 3, 2023—Our BFP volunteers were out in force today at a new location with our Ukraine Peace Table. This time we set up at the busy and popular Ft. Greene Park Greenmarket. We got a great reception with quite a few folks stopping to chat and signing our petition (bit.ly/bfp-ukraine-petition) calling on our Brooklyn House Members to speak out for peace, a cease-fire and diplomacy rather than a military solution and constant escalation. Using war in the 21st century to solve these disputes is the certain route to a dangerous wider war and maybe even a nuclear conflict. Thank you to all our volunteers – you did a great job and performed a valuable service: helping to win peace in Ukraine so that lives can be saved and a wider war avoided.  ★ JOIN US next Saturday at 10:30, same location:  ★ Ft Greene Greenmarket – De Kalb Avenue and Washington Park (Washington Park = Cumberland Street). You can let us know if you’ll be joining us next week by emailing pej@brooklynpeace.org
