Target: President Donald Trump, U.S. Department of State, and Members of Congress
Goal: Ensure that the upcoming U.S.-Russia summit is conducted with transparency, democratic oversight, and a commitment to human rights and peace.
The high-profile meeting between President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin in Anchorage, Alaska, has the potential to shape U.S.-Russia relations for years to come. As citizens, we are deeply concerned about the lack of transparency surrounding the agenda and outcomes of such summits. Diplomatic talks must prioritize the interests of the people, uphold human rights, and be subject to democratic oversight. Secretive negotiations risk undermining public trust and can lead to policies that do not reflect the will or welfare of the majority. We call on our leaders to ensure that any agreements or discussions are made public, that Congress is fully briefed, and that the voices of ordinary people are not sidelined in favor of elite interests.
