CT Peace and Solidarity Coalition Says “Stop the Wars!”

As the threat of nuclear war and world devastation heightens, the Connecticut Peace and Solidarity Coalition published a full page ad in the New Haven Register calling for a stop to wars.

Headlined “Stop Promoting War in Ukraine! Negotiate Peace Now! Fund Families, Not Weapons Makers!,” the message urges calls to Congress and the White House.

The text reads:

“The war in Ukraine is costing thousands of lives, generating millions of refugees and causing the destruction of billions in infrastructure. We demand it quickly end. The only way it can end is through honest negotiations, not actions that lead to the escalation of violence. There are no victors, there are only victims.

“We consider all actions that prolong the war to be deadly, costly, immoral and inexcusable.

“We call on Ukraine, Russia, the United States and its NATO allies to immediately agree on a prompt ceasefire, stop pouring weapons trainers and troops into Ukraine, and quickly negotiate steps toward peace and common security for all parties.

“Such a ceasefire includes lifting economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus. This hybrid warfare is creating terrible hardship throughout the world, including in the U.S. Where families are struggling with high inflation and inability to buy necessities like food and fuel.

“The global expansion of U.S – led military alliance NATO is an obstacle to long lasting security and peace. In an age of nuclear weapons, such alliances do not bring us security.

“We are frightened about the danger of nuclear war. The longer the war lasts the greater chance that nuclear weapons will be used creating global catastrophe.

“We reject mainstream media's ongoing cheer leading the war, similar to what we saw when the U.S. Prepared to invade Iraq.

“We call on President Biden and Congress to promote peace.”

Demands included are:

“Immediate cessation of all military actions throughout Ukraine. Peace negotiations between Ukraine and the Russian Federation. Immediate humanitarian aid to all civilians within Ukraine. End the war now before it escalates to nuclear warfare. End US/EU financial and economic sanctions against Russia and Belarus. Stop NATO expansion.”

The message asks for calls to Congress 202-224-3121 and the White House 202-456-1111.
