Dear Miriam,
Instead of feeling helpless in the midst of a pandemic, we are using this time
to organize. Rather than accepting poor choices and endless militarism, we have
joined together — over 50 national organizations, representing millions of
Americans — to urge presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden to
adopt and run on a principled, peaceful foreign policy platform. Along with
Demand Progress, Win Without War, Indivisible, American Friends Service
Committee, and many many more, we are calling on Biden to:
* Repeal the 2001 AUMF and respecting congressional war powers
* Reduce the Pentagon budget
* Engage diplomatically with Iran and North Korea
* Support a just resolution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict
* Oppose all regime-change interventions and broad-based sanctions
* Rejecting discriminatory immigration policies and support refugees
* Close Guantanamo
* Ending support for governments, such as Saudi Arabia, Israel, Egypt,
and the Philippines that violate human rights
* Prioritizing diplomacy and avoid militarizing our relations with other
powers such as Russia and China

ADD YOUR NAME NOW TO THIS IMPORTANT LETTER TO JOE BIDEN.
After we reach 10,000 signatures, we will deliver it to Biden.
As the letter makes clear:
“Our country and many others are woefully unprepared for the crisis that we now
face. Without extraordinarily bold leadership, this is likely to be the
beginning of a period of profound instability for the entire planet... For
decades, U.S. foreign policy has been overly focused on confrontation with
perceived adversaries and the global projection of U.S. military power. Doing
so has militarized our response to global challenges, distorted our national
security spending priorities, toxified our political discourse, and left us
woefully ill-prepared to confront the growing transnational threats to human
security we face today that do not have military solutions.”
Every four years, we at CODEPINK launch a President for Peace campaign to call
on all candidates to adopt a peace platform to move our country from militarism
to human needs, like healthcare, education, and green jobs. Many of us feel
despair when we hear Biden’s bad positions, such as keeping the U.S. embassy in
Jerusalem or supporting sanctions on Cuba and regime change in Venezuela.
Rather than tuning out though, we are mobilizing with the demands of the
people: A PRINCIPLED PEACEFUL FOREIGN POLICY PLATFORM!
