Messages of solidarity from antiwar activists in the United States to the antiwar people of Russia
Please sign the following statement, and add your own comment:
While governments make propaganda, pursuing their own horrific wars while denouncing the wars of governments they don’t like, people all over the world want peace and oppose the cruelty of war. Seeing news of antiwar demonstrations by courageous people in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and elsewhere in Russia, we here in the United States express our warm solidarity with those protests. The terrible destruction being inflicted in Ukraine by Russia’s armed forces is as abhorrent as the terrible destruction inflicted in Iraq, Afghanistan, and other countries in the deceptive name of the “war on terror” by the armed forces of the United States. We denounce all such killing, no matter what the nationality of the military forces -- and we pledge to rededicate ourselves to nonviolently resisting the militarism of the U.S. government.
