In the 2023 #DoomsdayClock statement, the ’s board noted that the threat posed by nuclear weapons endures even as politics change. It's 90 seconds to midnight, the closest it's ever been. It’s time for us to work together to #TurnBackTheClock.

David Crosby wasn’t just a stellar singer/songwriter he was a key voice in the anti-war & anti-nuclear movements. The anti-nuclear war anthem Wooden Ships took folks on a harrowing journey into the heart of nuclear apocalypse. #RIPDavidCrosby #nonukes

The bad faith attacks on for her bold stands on human rights are bad enough. Republicans shouldn’t be allowed to strip someone of committee membership for being outspoken and just because you don’t like what she says. That’s undemocratic and and attempt to stifle debate.

Analysis: Republicans’ next move is expected to be denying Democratic Reps. Adam B. Schiff (Calif.) and Eric Swalwell (Calif.) seats on the House Intelligence Committee, and seeking to kick Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) off the Foreign Affairs Committee. wapo.st/3CYajOl

Thank you for voting no! Peace Action agrees with you. We need shrewd, sober diplomacy with China. Throwing money at the military industrial complex & rattling sabers, can’t solve tough conflicts. This is grandstanding when a more thoughtful approach is essential.
Quote Tweet
We need a serious national conversation on China policy - not more xenophobia, Cold War posturing, and scapegoating from the GOP. Why would anyone trust them to lead responsibly on this important issue? I am voting NO on their push for a new Select Committee.

“While virtually all members are supportive of Israel, a growing number of Democrats have allied with moderate Zionist groups which oppose the occupation & settlements. Jeffries, has aligned with right-wing Zionist organizations like AIPAC.”

83 Senators voted to pass a $858 BILLION defense budget this week.
That's $2.3 billion a day.
$97 million an hour.
All being funneled to an agency that has never passed a SINGLE audit and can't account for over HALF its assets 🚨🚨🚨

TAKING IT TO THE STREETS!!!
On Human Rights Day, December 10, New Jersey Peace Action called on Congress to cosponsor the Yemen House War Powers Resolution (H.J. Res. 87) and the Senate War Powers Resolution (S.J. Res. 56) to oppose U.S. support for the war in Yemen.

Thank you for standing up. Only when many more Congressmembers stand with you will the US put the breaks on #Pentagon spending that’s shooting up on autopilot. This bill embodies the wrong priorities for our communities. We need to start to put #PeopleOverPentagon.
Quote Tweet
This record-breaking $858 billion so-called defense budget is impossible to justify when our neighbors are struggling to put food on the table, fighting to keep a roof over their heads, and rationing their medication. I voted NO.

We’re proud to join 100+ organizations in calling on Congress to support a Yemen War Powers Reso.
The Saudi-led war & blockade in #Yemen have gone on too long. Now Saudis are helping fund Russia’s war in Ukraine making Yemen’s famine even worse (through grain shortages). Enough!

If the Biden administration is truly going to rethink the U.S.-Saudi relationship, it should start by cutting off arms sales and military support for the regime until it definitively ends all involvement in Yemen. If it fails to do so, Congress should act.

Will you look at that?
The US IS engaging in diplomacy with Russia just as a group progressives encouraged.
Diplomacy is a essential tool in conflict prevention and conflict resolution — even with the worst actors. Let’s hope we see more of this.
