Dear John, The same methods that were used to drive us to war in Iraq are right now being used to drive a narrative that paints China as the mortal enemy of the United States. In a dangerous escalation, the U.S. has just asked China to close its consulate in Houston, TX — a violation of international law. It is also the U.S. that refuses to commit to a “No First Use” of nuclear weapons policy, making us the real threat to peace around the world. We can’t let the media or politicians push us towards the brink of another cold war! The Trump administration has repeatedly provoked China, including attacking the Chinese owned social media platform Tik Tok this week. U.S. aggression towards China is driving us closer to war instead of towards a path of peace and cooperation. These actions are coming at a time when COVID and climate change have made it abundantly clear that we ALL live in a connected world. We need the world's leaders to come together and collectively redirect our resources from war to prioritize urgent human needs laid bare by the pandemic and climate change. Join us in asking Presidential Candidate Joe Biden to commit to the No First Use of Nuclear Weapons Policy. While the Trump administration and even the Democrats, including Biden, are driving hate, let us push towards a NO nuclear policy — one with a return to a vision for peace. Sign this letter to Biden telling him to act like a president for peace and let’s pull the U.S. away from the brink of another cold/hot war. To get ahead of the curveballs and falsehoods the mainstream media are peddling about China, and to be a peacemaker, check out these offerings on why China is not our enemy. Onwards to love, equality, and a local peace economy, Jodie, Angela, Ariel, Ann, Asia, Carley, Caty, Cody, Emily, Kelsey, Leila, Leonardo, Mary, Maxine, Medea, Michelle, Nancy, Paki, Teri, and Yousef |
