USA: Peace groups urge Biden not to escalate Ukraine crisis

Feb 5th, 2022

Pax Christi USA has joined more than 100 national and regional US organizations in releasing a joint statement this past Tuesday urging President Biden "to end the US role in escalating the extremely dangerous tensions with Russia over Ukraine." The groups said "it is gravely irresponsible for the president to participate in brinkmanship between two nations that possess 90 percent of the world's nuclear weapons."

The statement warned that the current crisis "could easily spiral out of control to the point of pushing the world to the precipice of nuclear war."

Organizations signing the statement included Physicians for Social Responsibility, RootsAction.org, Code Pink, Just Foreign Policy, Peace Action, Veterans For Peace, Our Revolution, MADRE, Progressive Democrats of America, American Committee for US-Russia Accord, Pax Christi USA, Fellowship of Reconciliation, Center for Citizen Initiatives, and the Campaign for Peace, Disarmament and Common Security.
