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.

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.

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
