Ukraine protest

Marcy Winograd, September 16, 2022.

DSA-SB and CODEPINK anti-war activists gathered first in front of the office of Congressman Salud Carbajal to deliver a "Ceasefire now in Ukraine!" letter to a staffer, urging our House rep to support the decoupling of humanitarian aid with weapons and to vote no on the next Ukraine weapons supplemental because there is no military solution, only a diplomatic one. From there, we walked to a nearby intersection to hold signs reading "Diplomacy-Yes. Weapons-NO" and "Negotiate, Do Not Escalate." Drivers honked in support.

Coincidentally (I think) a Ukrainian activist from a nearby church was walking up the congressman's office steps at the same time, so we engaged in conversation and he stood next to us, waving a Ukrainian flag, while we delivered the letter. He agreed the Ukranians and Russians had managed to negotiate a ceasefire around the nuclear plant, but would not concede that it was possible to negotiate a ceasefire or peace settlement with Putin.

I said Biden had reaffirmed the START arms control treaty with Putin upon taking office, that it was Trump who had abandoned two arms control treaties with Russia, etc. John Enrico Douglas, Aaron Bagheri, Zac Smith, Wendy Dishman, Nansie Chapman Douglas, Rick Jahnkow, Bert Knorr, Susan Christol Deacon, CathyAnn Simon, Buddy Gottlieb, Taylor Clark, Wendy Santamaria, Kate Connell, Dennis Berger.
