Stop the War in Ukraine! Russian Troops Out! No to Nato Expansion

BFP Team
Thursday, April 14, 2022
Uncategorized

What role is the U.S. playing in the war in Ukraine? How dangerous is this war for those not immediately impacted by the bloodshed? What’s the risk that this could escalate to nuclear war?

Check out these recent articles:
Pentagon Asks Top 8 US Arms Makers to Meet on Ukraine
Ukraine and International Law: Precedents of Permissibility 
The Military Situation in the Ukraine—An Update
Noam Chomsky Warns: Most Dangerous Point in Human History Looming 
Why non-Western countries tend to see Russia’s war very, very differently

Actions you can take:
Save the Date: Saturday May 7 for next internationally coordinated actions to stop the war!
Contact the White House! Call 202-456-1414 or write using this form. Let President Biden know that you believe a ceasefire in Ukraine is urgently needed. Despite the obstacles, US policy should prioritize diplomacy, a rapid withdrawal of Russian troops in a negotiated process, and relief from sanctions.

Write letters to the editor of our local papers. Join “Writers for CODEPINK Congress” for encouragement and support in writing letters to the editor. Letters to the editor can be a powerful way to educate the public and influence public opinion. Keep your letter short and to the point. Write in response to a recently published article. Email marcy@codepink.org to get connected, and email us at bfp@brooklynpeace.org for list of local publications.

If you missed our recent Forum “Russian Invasion of Ukraine and US Policy: Challenges for the Peace Movement,” you can see the full-length recording here or Highlights, Part One.

Palestinian fragmentation "is deepened by Western countries and by the Israeli regime who consider a fractured and fragmented Palestinian people the best kind of people to occupy."
