Ithaca, NY Feb 24 Day Of Action

As part of a nationwide effort by Defuse Nuclear War  (national sponsors listed below) we, of the Ithaca Catholic Workers and other activists, invite you to rally with us on behalf of diplomacy, peace, and nuclear de-escalation.

We’ll be at the Peace Triangle on the CVS corner of Meadow and Clinton Streets, Ithaca, NY.  Please bring your sign calling for the U.S. to lead with diplomacy in Ukraine and for nuclear disarmament.

Marking the one-year anniversary of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24th, we are joining with others around the country, in the Defuse Nuclear War coalition to call on the United States to LEAD WITH DIPLOMACY instead of escalation to end the war.  We have an opportunity to amplify calls for genuine diplomacy to end this terrible war.

With a focus on actions the same day around the U.S., we’re encouraging all Defuse Nuclear War co-sponsors and organizers to participate in cities across the country at locations that seem most appropriate locally.

Feb. 24 is a Friday, in a week that the House and Senate are not in session — so this is an extra good opportunity to bring public pressure on members of Congress while they are presumably in their home area.
