Tell your lawmakers that diplomacy is the best way to protect human lives and avoid further suffering.
The Friends Committee on National Legislation (Quakers) invites us to write our Senators & Congress members condeming the Russian invasion and urging diplomacy.
Click here to go to FCNL's Take Action web site on this issue which contains more analysis of the crisis and an easy to fill out form to send emails to our Senators and Representatives. You may use their message, or compose your own. If you have time, adding an introductory line in your own words is encouraged. "As a person of faith," or "As a constituent who works for peace and justice," are some simple examples.
According to FCNL, "The United States government and Congress must rightly condemn this Russian invasion of Ukraine. But sending more weapons to Ukraine will not resolve the crisis. Yet, right now, the House and Senate are working on legislation to send hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of weapons to Ukraine."
