Target: President Donald Trump and the U.S. State Department
Goal: Urge the U.S. government to prioritize an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine, uphold Ukrainian sovereignty, and center the needs of civilians in all diplomatic negotiations.
The war in Ukraine has resulted in thousands of deaths, displacement, and ongoing hardship for millions of people. The recent U.S.-Russia summit ended without any agreement to halt the fighting, and statements from both leaders suggest a willingness to delay peace in favor of long-term negotiations that may not address the urgent needs of those affected by the conflict.
We call on President Trump and the U.S. government to take a principled stand for peace by demanding an immediate ceasefire, supporting Ukrainian sovereignty, and ensuring that any negotiations protect the rights and safety of Ukrainian civilians. The international community must not allow geopolitical interests to overshadow the human cost of this war.
