Target: President of the United States, US Secretary of State, and Members of Congress
Goal: Urge US policymakers to engage in good-faith diplomacy with Russia, centering peace, security, and the voices of all affected peoples.
The world stands at a crossroads. The US-Russia relationship has reached its lowest point since the Cold War, with the conflict in Ukraine threatening millions and risking global security. Recent talks between US and Russian leaders have opened the door for a new era of diplomacy, but progress will only be possible if the United States takes Russia's national security concerns seriously and pursues a just, negotiated settlement.
As the two largest nuclear powers, the US and Russia have a moral responsibility to prevent further bloodshed and escalation. Instead of fueling the conflict with weapons and rhetoric, we call on US leaders to listen to the voices of peace and diplomacy. The root causes of the Ukraine conflict must be addressed through dialogue, not force.
We demand a reset in US-Russia relations that prioritizes de-escalation, respect for all peoples affected by the conflict, and a commitment to international law. This is the only path to a sustainable peace in Ukraine and stability in Europe and beyond.
