Help us say no to war crimes. #VeteransForPeace and Wisconsin

VFP and World Beyond War are again working on a rotation of letters to the editor.  We are beginning with the topic of militarism.  If you are interested in learning more or volunteering to do a letter, contact Janet & Stefania at [email protected]

The Veterans for Peace Madison book club will be meeting in September.  There are also discussions ongoing about having regular movie showings.  Hopefully, there will soon be more organizing for peace on the UW campus too, thanks to Janet and Stefania and others.

“As people pass the little chapel in James Madison Park, few realize that the chapel was built in 1863. First located at 214 West Washington Avenue, it was designed and built by the first group of Jewish immigrants to arrive in Madison…”

An Open Letter on F-35 Scam to Baldwin

An Open Letter

F35ad_WSJ 07-24-2022_(3)

Our US Senators from Wisconsin are working for the war profiteers, please show them your dissatisfaction.  Please consider taking part in this action. 

Brad Geyer

 

Sunday morning, July 24, a full-page ad was placed in the Wisconsin State Journal sponsored by Safe Skies Clean Water. (There will be a half-page one in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel.)

The ad is an Open Letter to Senator Tammy Baldwin regarding the F-35 basing. It is signed by about 50 people who have been major contributors to her campaigns and urges her to reconsider her position in favor of the F-35 project.

Contact your elected officials and tell them how you feel on this scam from the military industrial complex.

 

Use your own words to tell Sen. Tammy Baldwin why you think it is a bad idea to put these dangerous and wasteful fighter jets in the midst of a high-density, low-income community that is already challenged by various environmental and racial injustices.

Thank you immensely for helping us to pressure the senator to do the right thing before it is too late!

Hannah, Jody, Tom and more
