Legislative Action Alert!

We Need Diplomacy, NOT a Military Buildup!

As the tensions over the Russian-Ukraine conflict ratchet up, US policy grows more dangerous. The possibility of a “hot war” between the US and Russia, both armed with nuclear weapons, is very alarming. The time to speak out is now!

Unfortunately, Democratic leaders in the House and Senate (Representative Meeks and Senator Menendez) are working on legislation to expedite the shipment of $500 million in weapons to Ukraine and require punishing sanctions on Russia, which would only hurt civilians. This will make the existing crisis even more dangerous.

Call your Congressional Representative and Senators Schumer and Gillibrand TODAY. Let them know you favor serious diplomacy which lowers tension and that you oppose more military threats by the US and NATO. Ask them NOT to co-sponsor the “Defending Ukraine Sovereignty Act”. (Schumer is already a co-sponsor. Ask him to remove his name.) Congressional Switchboard: 202-224-3121

Inform yourself. Check out these recent articles on our website, and this emergency webinar with Medea Benjamin (CodePink) and Lawrence Wilkerson.

But don’t delay! President Biden has just ordered 8,500 US troops to be on heightened alert for possible deployment to Eastern Europe, as the dangerous escalation at the Russian/Ukrainian border standoff intensifies. Biden is also considering sending more warships and aircraft, and has already delivered more “lethal aid” to Ukraine. The $500 million Congress is set to authorize is on a fast-track to a vote. We need to do everything possible to stop it!

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!
