Diplomacy Needed to End Ukraine War:
YOUR Phone Call Is Important!

Representative Pramila Jayapal (D-WA) has recently drafted a Congressional sign-on letter to President Biden calling on the President to take crucial steps to help bring an end to this war. Rather than simply sending more weapons, these steps include: making vigorous diplomatic efforts in support of a negotiated settlement and ceasefire; engaging in direct talks with Russia; exploring prospects for a new European security arrangement acceptable to all parties that will allow for a sovereign and independent Ukraine; and, in coordination with Ukraine, seeking a rapid end to the conflict, and reiterating this goal as America’s number one priority.

YOUR phone call is Important!

This letter is the first time that there has been a coordinated public effort in Congress to encourage diplomacy rather than more money for weapons. We need to make sure this letter has broad and deep support from Congress. It’s the U.S.’s responsibility to pursue every diplomatic avenue to support an end to this war before more lives are lost unnecessarily.  The steps outlined in Jayapal’s letter to President Biden are those that the U.S. should be pursuing. In the Brooklyn delegation so far only Nydia Velazquez has signed on as a co-sponsor.

Please take this important action today:
Call or
 send a letter to the office of your representative, and ask that they sign on to the Jayapal letter.
Yvette Clarke: 718-287-1142
Hakeem Jeffries: 718-237-2211
Nicole Malliotakis: 718-306-1620
Carolyn Maloney: 212-860-0606
Jerry Nadler: 212-367-7350

If Nydia Velazquez represents you, call to thank her, and ask that she encourage her colleagues to sign on as well.
Velazquez: 718-599-3658 

Your phone call is the most effective action you can take, and shows how important this issue is to you. Leave a message if you don’t get someone on the phone, or if it’s in the evening or on the weekend. You can also use this tool from Peace Action to send an email message to your representative.

Brooklyn For Peace supports the Not On Our Dime Legislation. From our website:"Although these settlements are all illegal under international law, many of them receive funding from organizations registered as charities in New York State. Between 2017 and 2019 alone, these “charities” funneled at least $144M to Israel and its illegal settlements.By allowing these organizations to continue operating as non-profits while funding ethnic cleansing and war crimes, New York State is subsidizing these atrocities. The Not On Our Dime! Act would end this practice and signal that New Yorkers do not support human rights abuses.Write to your New York state representatives now and ask them to co-sponsor Not On Our Dime! Ending NY Funding of Israeli Settler Violence Act (A6943/S6992)."

Some of the 700+ groups from around the USA and a few other countries who participated in the March to End Fossil Fuels. It looked like the USA we want our country to be.

Sep 18, 2023—Here are some photos from yesterday’s historic Climate March To End Fossil Fuels. Some 75,000 walked in solidarity to defend Mother Earth. This summer demonstrated clearly that the crisis and threat of climate collapse is here now, not decades in the future. Thus, the time is now to end fossil fuels which is the main agent of climate destruction. • No more drilling! • No more pipelines! • No more permits for drilling! • No more wars for oil resources! • Joe Biden – Declare a Climate ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ Emergency…Now! ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ Brooklyn For Peace had a strong contingent and marched alongside other peace organizations. They connected the issue of war (most often fought over oil resources) and environmental destruction. One begets the other in a vicious cycle. ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ Young people were leading the way because they will inherit the planet that today’s generation will have left them. They demand a planet they and their children can actually live on. They want action to guarantee that future and they want that action now. ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ ‫‬ They don’t want empty promises and words….they want action now!
