Concerned Maine WILPFers have been actively supporting the call for a Christmas Truce. The war in Ukraine has increased the threat of nuclear war, caused the Pentagon budget to skyrocket, and is exacerbating the climate crisis.

Extending into the new year, we will be on street corners, over bridges, and along the roadside with our new “Diplomacy” banners as a way to pressure our members of Congress and our neighbors to advocate for much more political space and resources for diplomacy!

We are committed to carry this message onto our Twitter and Facebook social media accounts, a message that segues into the upcoming recognition of TPNW’s entry into force on January 22, 2023.
