Dennis Rodman has been an inspiration to private citizens working for peace. His successful outreach to North Korea may have helped prevent war where our government has failed. He stands as an inspiration to other global activists to do the same in promoting peace everywhere.

Nicaragua is our next door neighbor, part of the Americas, and we have the right to freedom and democracy, and we request immediate help from the US. President. Daniel Ortega is in power against the will of the Nicaraguan people. He is killing innocent people in mass quantities, committing genocide against the people, and using Cuban sharpshooters to do so. This man must be stopped now along with all his accomplices and all his assets must be frozen. I would like an invitation to urgently speak with a special panel about this issue. Thanks

Popularly known as the White Helmets, Syria Civil Defence is a group of 3,000 volunteers, men and women, from local communities who have since 2013 risked their lives to save people from underneath the rubble of buildings destroyed during the Syrian civil war. Bakers, tailors, salespersons, teachers – they are now trained fire-fighters, search and rescue workers, and medics. The group has won the Right Livelihood Award in 2016 and received 130 nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize. The White Helmets are viciously slandered by forces allied with the Syrian dictator, who claim they are “terrorists” or actors making propaganda. In fact they’re the only organized rescuers in areas controlled by opposition forces. They’ve saved 100,000 people while losing 200 of their own. They video their work and this enrages those who demand Syrians either meekly die or surrender. As of mid-April 2018, funding from the U.S. government to the White Helmets has been frozen by the Trump Administration. The U.S. has sent Syria Civil Defence around $33 million over 6 years, a tiny sum compared to the billions and billions spent on war. We call on the U.S. to unfreeze and increase money sent to this amazing humanitarian organization.

The Iranian people want to live everyday lives just like us. They too share a desire for peace and a diplomatic resolution to conflict—not war or baseless provocation. They too are afraid. From the start of his candidacy, Trump demonized and degraded the people of Iran—a theme that has continued throughout his presidency, from the Muslim Ban to his appointment of anti-Iran Cabinet advisers. We reject Trump’s poisonous soapbox. And that’s why—at this perilous crossroads—we are delivering our own messages to the people of Iran and the world. Please add your name to our message of peace, love, and solidarity—and add a personalized message of your own in the comments box—which we'll publish in newspapers around the world and promote over social media.

Michael Avenatti's relentless opposition to the greatest threat to peace in the modern world should be recognized and rewarded.

Because I have five children and the Trump Administration's policies are creating a world that I don't want them to have to live in.

Donald Trump and his war cabinet just axed the Iran deal — in defiance of experts across the political spectrum. This reckless action puts us on a collision course to war with Iran. Demand Congress step in to stop Trump from dragging us into a terrible war with Iran.

Donald Trump's assassination of Iranian general Qassem Soleimani in Iraq is widely being viewed as an act of war. The American people do not want another chapter in the endless war in the Middle East with Iran, a nation of 80 million. Congress has not authorized war with Iran, nor assassination campaigns against Iranian generals and militias in Iraq. Yet Trump is running roughshod over Congress, blocking efforts to rein in his war authorities and taking steps that put the U.S. and Iran on a glidepath toward a messy, regional war. This is a 2002 moment for Congress, which must halt a reckless march to war. There are three steps Congress can take to prevent war with Iran: 1. Clarify that Trump does not have Congressional authorization for a disastrous war of choice with Iran. As tensions rise, this becomes all the more important. 2. Pass legislation to restrict the administration from further escalating its shadow war with Iran. 3. Demand Trump return to the negotiating table and invite in international mediators to forestall a rush to war.

Because I have friends that are Filipinos. They would love to come over here to visit. We Americans can go over to the Philippines without a visa. I think it would only be fair that the Filipino people can come to America without a visa as long as they have a passport.

As a Jew, I am appalled by Israel's brutal assault on non-violent protesters. I believe that the best hope for peace and security for all is for Israel to end its illegal siege of Gaza and its occupation of the West Bank.

Donald Trump just illegally bombed Syria, can’t wait to scrap the Iran deal, and is building more “usable” nukes. And he is literally building a war cabinet. Congress should be taking urgent steps to restrict the president’s war-making ability. Instead, Sens. Bob Corker and Tim Kaine’s proposed new Authorization for the Use of Military Force, or AUMF, would give Trump a blank check for worldwide, endless war. Tell the Senate: Vote no on the Corker-Kaine AUMF.

I along with millions of Americans are sick and tired of our war mongering government , spending trillions why our infrastructure crumbles and seniors go bankrupt dealing with escalating medical bills that our congress neglects to address .
