Statement of Purpose

We, as military veterans, do hereby affirm our greater responsibility to serve the cause of world peace. To this end we will work, with others both nationally and internationally.

To increase public awareness of the causes and costs of war.

To restrain our governments from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs of other nations.

To end the arms race and to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear weapons.

To seek justice for veterans and victims of war.

To abolish war as an instrument of national policy.

To achieve these goals, members of Veterans For Peace pledge to use non-violent means and to maintain an organization that is both democratic and open with the understanding that all members are trusted to act in the best interests of the group for the larger purpose of world peace.

Global Day of Action on March 6, 2022


 

Stop the War in Ukraine! 
Russian Troops Out! 
No to NATO expansion!

Vigil and Silent March
Sunday, March 6th, 2022, 3 pm
Pack Square on Biltmore Ave

The war is a disaster for the people of Ukraine and a terrible threat to us all, including the increased danger of nuclear war. We oppose the Russian invasion and call for the immediate withdrawal of all Russian troops. We recognize that the expansion of NATO and the aggressive approach of Western states have helped cause the crisis. We demand that NATO not be expanded and that no NATO missile systems be placed in Ukraine. We also oppose sanctions that will harm ordinary Russians and call on all countries to welcome refugees fleeing the war.

We join an international anti-war coalition including CODEPINK, Stop the War Coalition, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament, the No To NATO network, and others that has called for to an international day of anti-war action on this day. We call on everyone who opposes the war in Ukraine to join us in a display of global opposition to the war and its profiteers. 

We will have a vigil and silent march. Please come with signs and banners calling for peace.
