• The war must end now if we want to prevent hundreds of thousands more dead and maimed soldiers and thousands more civilians
• This war must end now if the world is to come together to prevent certain climate catastophe as fossil fuel emissions grow by leaps and bounds and fires and floods and murderous heat waves rage on.
• This war must end now if Ukraine is not to be destroyed.
• This war must end now if we want to reduce the growing danger of it leading to nuclear war
• This war must end now if global hunger from restrictions and sanctions on food deliveries is to be avoided
• This war must end now if the risk to a nuclear meltdown of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant is to be prevented
• And every week billions of our tax dollars are diverted from housing, public health, education, public transportation and numreous other important needs here at home to pay for the war
