From the organizers:

Peace antiwar group demands to meet with Senator Bernie Sanders. We support a ceasefire and negotiations in the war in Ukraine. 

The war in Ukraine has taken tens of thousands of Ukrainian and Russian lives, uprooted millions, contaminated land, air, and water, and worsened the climate crisis. We, the Coalition, are deeply upset, seeing the war divert billions of dollars that could be addressing urgent human needs. We are especially distraught, seeing the F-35 jet bombers flying over our heads, in training to bomb women and children and men in countries around the world -- and to the front lines in the war in Ukraine. We have attempted to speak directly with our elected officials, especially Bernie Sanders, to understand how they plan to end this debacle and continuous military buildup. We have been rebuffed. Together with Code Pink, Veterans for Peace, and The Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom, we are taking part in a week of actions called by the national organization Peace in Ukraine, September 30 – October 8.
