Letters to Representatives in Congress re: Military Spending in Ukraine
In June 2022, the Peace Center sent individual letters to both Congresswoman Barbara Lee and Congressman Mark DeSaulnier – regarding their decision to vote in support of providing $40 billion to Ukraine.
About the Center
We exist to offer Contra Costa County residents a choice – a choice in how to view the world through peaceful eyes, to view Contra Costa County as part of the global family. Showing support for community programs allows the Center to work towards engendering new ways of thinking in every citizen. That choice includes how we spend our time and money, and the picture of what peace looks like gets clearer as we take actions that reflect our resolve to be the change we want to see.
