The National Committee of the Green Party of the United States (GPUS) has voted to endorse the “Rage Against the War Machine” demonstration planned for February 19 in Washington D.C. This action has been endorsed by other anti-war groups and individuals. GPUS joins them to strengthen opposition to the United States’ endless wars.
GPUS plans to play a leading role in the emergence of a unified and strong U.S. anti-war movement. The involvement of the US and NATO in the war in Ukraine presents a world-wide emergency that demands a strong anti-war movement around the following demands being made at this upcoming event:
-
- Not One More Penny for War in Ukraine
- Negotiate Peace
- Stop the War Inflation
- Disband NATO
- Global Nuclear De-Escalation
- Slash the Pentagon Budget
- Abolish the CIA and Military-Industrial Deep State
- Abolish War and Empire
- Restore Civil Liberties
- Free Julian Assange
The Green Party US Peace Action Committee (GPAX) urges Greens across the country to attend or to hold similar events locally. We are proud to say that Jill Stein will be speaking at the rally about what makes GPUS’s position so inclusive – our commitments to social, economic and environmental justice. We believe the extreme danger to world peace posed by the war in Ukraine should make unified action against this war a priority for all peace activists.
