Target: US Congress and the White House
Goal: We call for full transparency, congressional oversight, and meaningful public input in any peace agreements or diplomatic negotiations between the United States and Russia.
The recent Alaska Summit between President Trump and President Putin, followed by statements about a potential peace agreement to end the Russia-Ukraine conflict, have been shrouded in secrecy and political posturing. While peace is a vital goal, it must not come at the expense of democratic process, accountability, or human rights. The American people, as well as those most affected by the conflict, deserve to know the terms and implications of any agreement. We urge Congress and the White House to ensure that any peace negotiations or agreements are subject to rigorous oversight, public scrutiny, and the inclusion of human rights protections. Diplomatic decisions made behind closed doors risk undermining democracy and global stability. We demand a transparent process that centers justice, democracy, and the voices of those impacted by war.
