Mahmoud Khalil should be freed
Khalil Given Award
On April 14 PEP held a press conference announcing our awarding Mahmoud Khalil our "Dorothy Day Award". The Columbia graduate student and green-card holder was a leader in Columbia protests for Palestine and was singled out by the Trump Administration for deportation. He was grabbed from his family and jailed in an ICE detention center in Jena, Louisiana, 1000 miles from home and from his pregnant wife (who has subsequently given birth).
Update 5/28/25 A Federal judge said that the case that Khalil somehow would harm US foreign policy was likely "unconstitutionally vague."
More about the campaign to free Khalil.

Our Administrator's Op-Ed in Hearst Newspapers
People power needed to prevent climate collapse
from the piece, " Sweeping measures are surely coming, but they could be what some call eco-fascism, hysteria about so-called “overpopulation” of
non-whites and immigrant “invasions” resulting in ever more walls and ever more murders of climate migrants. There are alternatives: declaring a “climate emergency” that would allow nullification of government deals with corporations that have systematically hid the effects of their emissions, completely ending the fossil fuel subsidies, rationing of fossil fuels use (and other burned fuels such as trash and biomass), ending the use of fossil fuels for lawn care, and keeping the saw away from as many mature trees as possible. "

Stop Importing Russian uranium
Germany has announced that it no longer needs to import Russia natural gas or coal, BUT the U.S. is still importing uranium from Russia. We 15,000 say this is outrageous!!! The USSC has called for a campaign about this and Promoting Enduring Peace is happy to host their petition. Click here to see details and link to the petition
