Friends,

On Tuesday, March 7, join CODEPINK Congress and Massachusetts Peace Action
for the next Capitol Calling Party to discuss Europe’s momentous anti-war
movement.

>From reading the corporate media, you’d never know that thousands of
Germans, Italians, Britons, French and other European anti-war
activists are marching in the street to tell their government to stop
sending weapons to Ukraine and to call for a ceasefire.

While the US Senate Armed Services Committee holds hearings on how to sell
an escalated war to an increasingly skeptical public, governments in Europe
are facing a wave of anti-war protests this winter. On the somber
anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, protesters in a
“Europe-wide Weekend of Action” raised banners that read, “Helmets today,
tanks tomorrow, the day after your sons” in reference to Germany’s
coalition government first sending 5,000 helmets to Ukraine, then recently
agreeing to send Leopard II tanks. In England, the STOP the WAR Coalition
organized protests in London, while Italians in Rome, Florence, Milan and
Genoa marched against Western sanctions imposed on Russia and the transfer
of weapons to Ukraine–with some chanting “Exit Italy from NATO.”

Join CODEPINK Congress as they talk to leaders of the European peace
movement to learn more about the actions, strategies and challenges for
peace activists who say NO to NATO and YES to peace.

Featured Guests

Lisa Clark is an Italian peace activist and co-president of the
International Peace Bureau (IPB). She lived in Sarajevo, a city under siege
in the 1990s, and then in other areas of Bosnia and in Kosovo, where she
supported nonviolent groups; she later participated in human rights and
election monitoring missions around the world, from Palestine to Somalia.
Since 2005, when the US Federation of Atomic Scientists revealed the
presence of US nuclear weapons on two Italian air bases, Lisa’s activism
has concentrated on nuclear disarmament campaigns in Italy and
internationally.

Reiner Braun served as Executive Director of the Nobel-prize winning
International Peace Bureau (IPB) from 2017-2022. He currently leads a
worldwide IPB Common Security Initiative, based on the idea that nations
and populations can only feel safe when their counterparts feel safe. From
2006 until 2017, Braun was the executive director of the German section of
the International Association of Lawyers Against Nuclear Arms. His books
include Einstein – Peace Now and Disarmament and Development. During the
past year, Braun traveled to Moscow to meet with those opposed to the war
in Ukraine.
