Dear John,

You are invited to join our Tuesday CODEPINK CONGRESS Calling Party to mobilize for peace legislation! This call is the third event of our special series on foreign policy, which we are cohosting with Massachusetts Peace Action.

Chat with peacemakers and experts on March 1st at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET:

RSVP now!

Join CODEPINK Congress, Massachusetts Peace Action, and the Campaign for Peace, Disarmament and Common Security on Tuesday, March 1st to discuss what's happening in Ukraine, the role of NATO, and how we can be advocating for peace.

Tensions between the U.S. and Russia are higher than they've been in many years. The U.S. insists that Ukraine may join NATO in the future while Russia insists that it should not. NATO has become a worldwide military alliance as the U.S. pursues its policy of a new Cold War against Russia. Will Ukraine be recognized as a neutral nation or will the U.S. maintain its goal of integrating Ukraine into NATO? Can Europe turn towards a common security policy before NATO’s June summit in Madrid?

Featuring

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson is an adjunct professor of government and public policy at the College of William and Mary and the former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell (2002 to 2005). He is a critic of U.S. foreign policy surrounding the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars, Iran, and the new Cold Wars with China and Russia, and asserts that the U.S. is not a democracy but a war state that forces its will on the global community. In 2020, Wilkerson worked on bipartisan projects to prepare for the possibility that a defeated Donald Trump would refuse to leave office.

Reiner Braun is the executive director of the International Peace Bureau, the founder of the No to NATO Network, and is active with the International Network of Engineers and Scientists for Global Responsibility (INES) and the International Association of Lawyers Against Nuclear Arms (IALANA). He is also the author of several books, including “Einstein and Peace” and a biography about the Peace Nobel Laureate Joseph Rotblat.
