CODEPINK, Veterans for Peace, Four Lakes Greens, and our anti-war allies will rally on February 5, 2022 at noon on the Capital Square near State Street to demand an end to the drumbeat of war with Russia over Ukraine. We protest and resist the normalization of war and demand that not a single bullet or gun be sent to Ukraine. No New Troops or Arms to Eastern Europe! Diplomacy not war.
After gathering at the Capitol, participants will cross the street for a picket outside Senator Tammy Baldwin’s office at 30 W Mifflin to demand she and other WI representatives oppose the bill to send $500M in weapons to Ukraine, and to protest her support for basing F-35 fighter jets in Madison.
[Veterans for Peace dos not support any party.]
No War Rally – Milwaukee – Sat at Noon
“More than 100 national and regional U.S. organizations released a joint statement Tuesday urging President Biden “to end the U.S. role in escalating the extremely dangerous tensions with Russia over Ukraine.” The groups said “it is gravely irresponsible for the president to participate in brinkmanship between two nations that possess 90 percent of the world’s nuclear weapons.”
The statement warned that the current crisis “could easily spiral out of control to the point of pushing the world to the precipice of nuclear war.”
