Official statement on the Crisis in Ukraine
The People’s Party of Texas is dedicated to peace, and considers war to be the action of last resort when all all other possibilities have been thoroughly and honorably explored.
The People’s Party of Texas first and foremost stands in solidarity with all people whose lives have been impacted by war. Lives are lost, families are shattered, and property is destroyed, often because governments desire an outcome that either could have been obtained in better ways, or should not have been pursued in the first place when international law is observed.
The organization CodePink expresses the Ukraine crisis effectively, and in a manner with which we at PPoT completely agree.
“The war in Ukraine is a disaster for the people of Ukraine and a terrible threat to us all, including increasing the danger of nuclear war. We oppose the Russian invasion and call for the immediate withdrawal of all Russian troops. We recognize that the expansion of NATO and the aggressive approach of Western states have helped cause the crisis and we demand an end to NATO expansion. We also oppose sanctions that will harm ordinary Russians and call on all countries to welcome refugees fleeing the war.”
We encourage our friends to take action and encourage our government to work harder at bringing this conflict to a peaceful resolution.
