Join CODEPINK Congress and Massachusetts Peace Action for an energizing Capitol Calling Party where we will take a hard look at NATO. As the conflict in Ukraine is raging and heads of states of NATO member countries get ready to meet in Madrid June 28-30, we invite you to join us in discussing and deconstructing North Atlantic Treaty Organization with three expert guests: Ajamu Baraka of Black Alliance for Peace, Ret. Colonel Ann Wright of CODEPINK and  Veterans for Peace, and Alice Slater of World Beyond War. 

Ajamu Baraka is the national organizer of the Black Alliance for Peace and was the 2016 Green Party candidate for Vice President of the United States. Baraka serves on the Executive Committee of the U.S. Peace Council, the leadership body of UNAC, and the steering committee of the Black is Back Coalition.

Colonel Ann Wright spent 13 years in the U.S. Army and sixteen more years in the Army Reserves. Ann Wright resigned in response to the U.S. invasion of Iraq. Ann will soon attend several NO to NATO events in Europe.

Alice Slater serves on the Boards of Directors of World Beyond War and the Global Network Against Weapons in Nuclear Power in Space. She is the UN NGO Representative of the Nuclear Age Peace Foundation, and is on the Advisory Board of Nuclear Ban-US.
