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!

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
