This Saturday - #PeaceForUkraine Day of Action

Event Date: 9th April 2022
Location: Internet and locally

Stop the War Coalition 

This Saturday – #PeaceForUkraine Day of Action

As the harrowing war in Ukraine continues we need to step up the pressure for peace.
 
This Saturday (9 April) we are organising a day of action and asking all local groups and organisers to call protests, vigils, demonstrations, stalls or petitioning sessions.
 
We are calling on the British government to set aside all belligerent language and encourage the participants in the ongoing peace talks to negotiate an immediate ceasefire, the withdrawal of all Russian troops and a full and lasting peace.

We must also continue to campaign against NATO expansion, the arming of Ukraine, sanctions that only serve to further inflame the situation, and the advocating of no-fly zones which would have nightmarish consequences.
 
Please let us know as soon as possible when your events are and if you require any materials for your stalls, such as leaflets, placards, or petitions, so that we can get them to you.
 

This Saturday: No to War in Ukraine – International Online Rally

We’re also excited to be helping to organise a massive online rally this Saturday evening. We’ll be joined by Noam Chomsky, Yanis Varoufakis, Clare Daly, Lindsey German and many more. We’ll be sending out the details very shortly so keep your eyes peeled!

This Saturday – International Online Rally: 
Ceasefire in Ukraine & Negotiated Settlement Now

The atrocities that have been reported in Bucha and other cities this week highlight the urgent need for peace in Ukraine. As the conflict rages on, we, the peace-loving people of the world, must raise our voices to demand a ceasefire and a negotiated settlement.

On Saturday, we’ll hear from some of the sharpest politicians, analysts and organisers around the world about how they view this conflict and what we can do to create a global movement to bring it to an end. 

Speakers include: Vijay Prashad, Noam Chomsky, Clare Daly MEP, Lindsey German, Yanis Varoufakis, Tariq Ali, Reiner Braun, Anuradha Chenoy, Kate Hudson, Medea Benjamin and a Ukrainian anti-war speaker.
