Channel: Ed Mays
Date: 2022-12-15

NEGOTIATIONS- YES! ESCALATION- NO! 
This is an edited for TV version of a historic assembly that happened November 19th 2022 at the People’s Forum in New York City calling for a people’s movement to rise up for a negotiated settlement in Ukraine. The event was hosted by Manolo De Los Santos of The People’s Forum and featured many extraordinary speakers such as Medea Benjamin, Noam Chomsky, Jill Stein, Brian Becker, Vijay Prashad, & Eugene Puryear. We will be broadcasting excerpts of the event in multiple parts.

“The moment is now to inaugurate a new, multi-national, grassroots movement to advocate for the end to the current war in Ukraine. The stakes are too real and the dangers too great for the peoples of the word to remain on the sidelines. Anti-war forces in the United States and across the world may have different analyses of Russia, Ukraine, and this tragic war, but we can unite around one thing: there is no road to peace if US government policy remains to obstruct negotiations and send endless weapons into the war zone. We, people of conscience, are coming together to demand that there be a radical shift in the direction of US military and foreign policy. NATO expansion must end. Money must be spent on education, healthcare, and housing, not the war machine. We demand peace, not war. Join us!”

Speakers in this episode include: 
Medea Benjamin, CODEPINK author of "War in Ukraine : Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict"
Noam Chomsky, Theoretical Linguist, author of "Manufacturing Consent" and more than 150 other books.
Jill Stein, Former Green Party Presidential Nominee
