DESCRIPTION:On Thursday June 23 we will be gathering outside Rep Barbara Lee’s office 
 in Oakland to protest her recent vote for $40 billion for the war in 
 Ukraine. This demonstration is in conjunction with the International Day of 
 Action for Peace in Ukraine called by the Peace in Ukraine Coalition. 
 \n\nThis massive funding package represents a clear escalation of the war 
 in Ukraine by the government of the United States using the Ukrainian 
 people as cannon fodder in a proxy war with Russia. It will prolong the 
 war, resulting in thousands more Ukrainian and Russian deaths, at the very 
 least. It risks escalating and widening the scope of the war – up to and 
 including nuclear war.\n\nDespite promising just two months ago to "work 
 relentlessly toward de-escalation" of the war in Ukraine, California 
 Congresswoman Barbara Lee voted in lockstep with every Democrat in Congress 
 behind President Biden’s war policy without voicing such questions or 
 concerns and without a single mention of diplomacy or de-escalation.  
 Billions in funding for the war serves the interests of weapons 
 manufacturers and military contractors  who are making huge profits from 
 this war  and not those of working and oppressed  people worldwide, who now 
 face even more dire prospects from food and fuel shortages than before the 
 onset of this war.\n\nJoin us at Barbara Lee’s Oakland office at 1 Kaiser 
 Plaza on Thursday, July 23 at 11:30am to say:\n\n- Vote NO on the next 
 weapons supplemental for Ukraine and support oversight hearings on prior 
 weapons shipments.\n \n- Urge President Biden to back a negotiated 
 settlement that recognizes the security interests of all stakeholders and 
 to lift key sanctions in return for concessions from Russia. \n \n- “Work 
 relentlessly for de-escalation” and not for more war.\n\n
