Maybe you saw the full-page pro-peace ad in the New York Times yesterday. The ad’s headline makes a statement all too rare in a publication with the clout and reach that the Times has: “The U.S. Should Be a Force for Peace in the World.”

Unfortunately, that’s often what it takes to get such a message to the public in the United States: costly ads to counter a feverishly pro-war mainstream media.

Make sure your Congressmember and Senators read the ad. Send them a message now and urge them to read it carefully.

Together, let’s urge Congress to support diplomacy as the best course to stop the killing and end the war in Ukraine.

The ad’s text is signed by prominent national security experts, including Ann Wright, Matthew Hoh, Jack Matlock, Jeffrey Sachs, and William J. Astore. In their open letter in the ad, they say:

  • "The immediate cause of this disastrous war in Ukraine is Russia’s invasion. Yet the plans and actions to expand NATO to Russia’s borders served to provoke Russian fears. And Russian leaders made this point for 30 years. A failure of diplomacy led to war. Now diplomacy is urgently needed to end the war before it destroys Ukraine and endangers humanity."
  • "In favoring diplomacy we choose the side of sanity. Of humanity. Of peace."
  • “As Americans and national security experts, we urge President Biden and Congress to use their full power to end the war speedily through diplomacy, especially given the grave dangers of military escalation that could spiral out of control.

The ad is paid for by the Eisenhower Media Network, an organization made up of expert former military, intelligence, and civilian “national security” officials.
