Karen,
Not sure why you write "if you are a socialist as you claim".  I burned my draft card in 1965 to oppose the Vietnam War, ran for President in 1980 and 2000 on the Socialist Party ticket, and ran for the US Senate as a Green in 2004 with the main emphasis on opposing the Iraq war.
I could not agree more that socialists, in the tradition of Debs, are anti-war. Perhaps we are in more agreement than you realize?
David

Yes, David if you are a socialist as you claim, you should be pleased to see anyone starting up or reviving an “anti-war organization or group.” A socialist is always first and foremost opposed to his government/ nation imperialist interventions and war.

Speaking out against “war", the greatest evil perpetrated by man, is what everyone, socialist or otherwise, should be doing.

What "socialist" groups are you talking about--adjuncts of the Democratic Party, which collaborates with the Deep State/Military and recent President has been as "irresponsible as Trump" only a little more discrete?

I'm happy - delighted, in fact - to send this on to the handful of Green contacts I have. I hope you also post to Facebook.

You won't mind, I know, if a socialist joins in support of this most urgent action - even if I wouldn't be doing it within the Greens, but within the socialist groups.

The current situation underlines how urgent it is to confront the danger of the corporate military state - headed now by someone as irresponsible as Trump.

Peace and solidarity,
David McReynolds

Dear Friends, please share to other Green pages and list-serves:

Call to Re-Constitute Green Peace Action Committee

We the undersigned seek to re-constitute the Green Peace Action Committee, a former standing committee of the Green Party of the United States that has been inactive for several years.

At a time when our nation is committing brazenly illegal, immoral and indefensible acts of war in Syria, Yemen, elsewhere in the Middle East and Africa and engaging in dangerous acts of brinksmanship with Russia, China and North Korea, it is essential that the Green Party play a strong role in building a more effective peace movement and stand tall as a clear and uncompromising voice against war, the military-industrial complex and the institutional causes of war.

We call upon other concerned Greens to volunteer to join our Committee, so that it can be activated and recognized by the GP-US and begin to engage in this vital task. Please note that you will need to seek appointment or approval by your state party before you can join this Committee in an official capacity.

If interested in being a part of this important work, please contact Interim Co-Chairs Deanna Dee Taylor at deedeelivesgreen at greenpartyutah.com<mailto:deedeelivesgreen at greenpartyutah.com> and Rich Whitney at richwhitney at frontier.com<mailto:richwhitney at frontier.com>.

Please note that our next conference call is set for Wednesday, August 16th, at 5pm Eastern Time. Please contact the Interim Co-Chairs if you are willing and able to participate in the call.

Signed,

Deanna Dee Taylor, Utah
Kim Murphy, Utah
Rich Whitney, Illinois
Wes Gaige, Texas
Jacqui Deveneau, Maine
Logan Martinez, Ohio
Mike DeRosa, Connecticut
Amy Vas Nunes, Connecticut
Eugene Woloszyn, Connecticut
