The United States is currently imposing economic sanctions on 39 countries, affecting a third, of the Earth’s population, limiting their access to food, fuel, funds, and health supplies.
Even before this devastating pandemic that we are all living through, these sanctions, which many would argue are illegal under international law, cause thousands of deaths every year.
Chicago Area Peace Action is dedicated to calling out sanctions for what they are— an act of war! And we are working hard to advocate for both immediate and long term solutions.
