Reject a No-Fly Zone! Support Negotiations to End Russian Invasion!

BFP Team
Thursday, March 17, 2022
Call To Action, Peace Activism, Phone Calls

While opposing U.S. and NATO actions which have been escalating the conflict, Brooklyn For Peace unconditionally condemns Russia’s brutal, illegal, and unjustified war against Ukraine, its independence and its people. The suffering and death and the targeting of the civilian population is most certainly a crime against humanity.

As the Russian invasion of Ukraine enters its fourth tragic week, disasters continue to mount. While Ukrainian cities have been attacked, untold numbers of civilians as well as soldiers on both sides have died. There are over 2 million refugees. Meanwhile, although Congress said we didn’t have “enough” money to fund programs for public health measures to prevent further waves of COVID-19, it approved another $7 billion in military aid for Ukraine–weapons, military supplies, and money.

Ukraine’s President Zelensky spoke to Congress on Wednesday, asking the U.S. to establish a “no-fly zone” in Ukraine. But the consequences for the world could be disastrous. We urgently need to reject a No-Fly Zone!

The danger of a wider, more devastating war is very real and the specter of that developing into nuclear conflict has ceased to be a remote possibility. Only diplomacy with willingness to compromise, and no further escalation of military action, can stop this disastrous war. We need an immediate ceasefire, withdrawal of Russian troops, agreement that NATO will not expand further, and recognition on all sides of Ukraine as a neutral country.

We urge our government to resist any calls for a No-Fly Zone. Use this tool.
Call on President Biden, Secretaries Blinken and Austin, Vice President Harris, and Congress, to reject a no-fly zone.

PICK UP THE PHONE! Don’t stop after signing petition: your phone call is important!
Call again, even if you called before.

Congressional Switchboard: 202-224-3121
Call Senators Schumer and Gillibrand, and your Representative. Urge them to reject efforts to call for a No-Fly Zone which can only lead to a dangerous escalation.
Resources should go to humanitarian aid for refugees, from Ukraine as well as elsewhere, not to the military-industrial complex.

Sign the Petition!

Check out the recording of Saturday’s "War Is Not Green" event here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jT8rzK5_tQ4 Speakers addressed how militarism and climate change are creating a crisis at the border, COP27, the rising threat of nuclear warfare, the importance of fossil fuels in the war in Ukraine, how the U.S. military contributes to environmental catastrophes, and more.We are living in the midst of a climate and ecological emergency. Instead of responding to this emergency by investing in community needs and transitioning away from fossil fuels, the U.S. government is investing more in militarism to maintain imperial control over a dying planet. Militarization must stop. We cannot allow our government to prioritize power over people any longer.

Just over a year since its last horrific attack on Gaza, the Israeli government launched yet another round of catastrophic bombings, massacring Palestinian families. This is the fifth attack by Israel of this magnitude since it placed Gaza under a crippling blockade of land, air and sea 15 years ago.We’ll hold this 30 min online space each day as long as we need to, to take collective action in solidarity with Gaza. We’ll call our electeds to demand that Israel stop its attacks and end the brutal military siege of Gaza, as well as make demands of other key institutions complicit in this murderous regime.Please share widely and invite others to join. May our heartbreak and rage lead us towards collective action. Register at jvp.org/actionforgaza
