Join the WNY Peace Center and Women In Black for a vigil (signs welcome!) in solidarity with the long-suffering people of Afghanistan, now facing the worst crisis ever!
After 20 years of war in Afghanistan, the Afghan people are suffering more than ever. Hunger could kill more now than in 20 years of war. We urge all pressure members of Congress to call on the administration to **unfreeze the frozen funds, relax sanctions, and increase humanitarian aid**.
We and our senators & reps must lobby
the Biden Administration to release the Afghan money supply, stop sanctions, and provide humanitarian relief for the millions facing starvation this winter. As of this writing, the main focus is getting Senators to support the Merkley Letter on the looming Afghanistan famine and the economic collapse driving the suffering.
If you can’t come, please at least call Senators Schumer’s & Gillibrand’s offices (Capitol Switchboard 202-224-3121).
With Alia Williams, VOICE Buffalo Live-Free Movement Building organizer; Rabbi Jonathan Freirich, VOICE Buffalo Board Member; Imam Myles Carter, Chaplain at Erie Co Correctional Facility at Alden; and Vicki Ross, WNYPC Community Coordinator.
