One-year anniversary of Russia’s illegal invasion and occupation in Ukraine. Pick Up the Phone!

BFP Team
Friday, February 24, 2023
Call To Action, News, Peace Activism, Phone Calls

Friday 2/24 marks the one-year anniversary of Russia’s illegal invasion and occupation in Ukraine. Please join Peace Action in a National Call-In to our Congressional representatives, urging them to speak out to for vigorous diplomatic efforts for a cease-fire and negotiations.

Ultimately, there is no military solution to such an intractable and complex global crisis. The longer the conflict goes on, the more bloodshed there will be. At the same time, the United Nations is warning of years of global hardship that include a refugee crisis, and severe disruptions to trade, food security, and human development. The UN has called for urgent action to address this crisis, warning of a looming catastrophe that could bring global destabilization, starvation, and mass migration on an unprecedented scale

Make this call today! Dial the Capitol Hill switchboard at (202) 224-3121 and ask for your representative’s office.
Here’s what you can say: “I’m calling to urge you to support and speak out for crucial diplomatic efforts to help end the war in Ukraine. These steps include calling for vigorous diplomatic efforts in support of a negotiated settlement and ceasefire in Ukraine; 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.”

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!

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
