Roses to 51 Missions to Say Thank You!

V Nunn
Monday, January 25, 2021
News, Nuclear Zero, Peace Activism

During the week of Jan 18, BFP joins Peace Action NYS, Hibakusha Stories, International Campaign for the Abolition of Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) (recipient of 2017 Nobel Peace Prize), Manhattan Project for a Nuclear-Free World and other organizations in the New York area to celebrate this historic moment by delivering roses and thank-you notes to the Permanent Missions to the United Nations of the 51 state parties that ratified the Treaty. 

“We would like to express our deepest gratitude to those 51 state parties for their brave actions by ratifying the Treaty, “despite enormous pressure from nuclear weapon states not to sign or ratify it,” said Sally Jones, chair of Peace Action Fund of New York State. “Right now, the Treaty does not legally bind the United States, because we have not signed or ratified it, but that does not mean we will not be feeling the moral force of the Treaty. All nuclear weapons, including the US stockpile, have been declared unlawful by the international community.”

"The banner headline across the top of the New York Times homepage during much of Wednesday proclaimed: "Withdrawal of U.S. Troops in Afghanistan Will End Longest American War." But, buried in the thirty-second paragraph of a story headed "Biden to Withdraw All Combat Troops From Afghanistan by Sept. 11," the Times reported: "Instead of declared troops in Afghanistan, the United States will most likely rely on a shadowy combination of clandestine Special Operations forces, Pentagon contractors and covert intelligence operatives to find and attack the most dangerous Qaeda or Islamic State threats, current and former American officials said."Special Ops, Pentagon contractors and private mercenary armies, drone warfare, funding for war, supplying arms and economic sanctions are all at least as deadly, destructive and economically devastating forms of warfare as troops. We need to learn the language of modern warfare and to challenge the false narrative created by headlines lacking meaning and substance. In this, historically the most violent of nations domestically as well as internationally, have we lost all memory of the meaning of peace? ... See MoreSee Less

No matter what the White House and the headlines say, U.S. taxpayers won’t stop subsidizing the killing in Afghanistan until there is an end to the bombing and "special operations" that remain shrou...

"On April 22, 1971, the first anniversary of Earth Day, John Kerry rose to public prominence when he addressed Congress as a representative of anti-war veterans delivering a blistering critique of the Viet Nam War. 50 years later, John Kerry is US Climate Envoy. He needs to address militarism as a major cause of the climate crisis, and to promote redirection of bloated and destructive military expenditures to address the climate crisis and provide for human needs."Brooklyn For Peace is a signatory org on this letter to Kerry, written by Veterans For Peace.
