Saturdays in Nov. – Outreach & Vigil for Peace in Ukraine
November 12, 2022 @ 10:30 AM – 12:30 PM
With the incorporation of traditionally neutral Finland and Sweden into NATO, the increased encirclement of Russia ensures that the war in Ukraine will be a long, protracted and brutal one, drawing in more countries in Europe and possibly the US in open conflict. The threat of a nuclear war is high. The antiwar movement needs to be urgently mobilized here in the US, in Europe, and worldwide.
We’ll be holding a banner and signs, and distributing this flyer, urging a cease-fire and serious negotiations to end this war, which is killing thousands of people, displacing millions, and causing hunger, inflation, and increased militarism around the world.

Brooklyn for Peace strongly condemns Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (see our statement.) However, we also believe the priority of the U.S. at this time should be the encouragement of a cease-fire and energetic diplomacy, designed to create long-term peace.
