Dear
friends in South Africa, |
In
just a few hours, the United Nations will vote
on an historic resolution to show
Russia’s President Vladimir Putin that the
international community is united for
peace. But now all eyes are on South
Africa, and it's under immense
pressure from Putin to oppose the
resolution. And as a key actor,
South Africa can shape the vote, and move
smaller, undecided countries. With a flood of
messages we can get South Africa's
president and his top diplomats to join the
world in opposing Putin’s colonial war. Send an
urgent tweet now: Tweet

 A
personal message calling on leaders to vote for
the UN resolution, and stand with Ukraine, will
have the most impact. You can use the
following tips to write your message:
- Use your own words when
calling for peace and remember to be
respectful.
- The fate of millions of Ukrainians depends
on the actions UN countries like South Africa
take now. stand up to Putin, and vote for peace
and national sovereignty.
- The UN was founded so the law of the
strongest wouldn’t prevail. This is South
Africa's chance to help make sure these
principles are upheld.
- The relevant hashtags, the Twitter handles
and a “Stand with Ukraine” image are already in.
Simply click and add your
message.
This could be
our last opportunity to stop this
war -- but time is running out,
and we need to inspire South Africa to get on
the right side of history. The world is more
united than ever against Putin’s aggression.
With a flood of messages to South
Africa's leaders we can make sure they vote for
peace too. Send an urgent tweet
now!Tweet |

This
senseless invasion is not just an attack on a
government, it is an attack on a people’s
freedom and right to self-determination.
Already, millions have signed our open letter
for peace, hundreds of thousands have mobilised
demanding an immediate end to the invasion,
marching the streets from London to Berlin to
Moscow. Let’s keep piling up on the pressure,
and show up for Ukrainians in their hour of
need.
With hope for peace,
John,
Ana Paula, Nax, Mo, Wissam, Martyna, Luis,
Anneke and the rest of the Avaaz team
