Letter: Vote against war
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Sir: David Mason (letter, 28 April) complains that there is no party to vote for in the coming elections that has a principled objection to the war in Kosovo.
He is quite wrong.
The Green Party, which will be standing in 700 local government wards, and which will have full lists of candidates for the European, Scottish Parliament and Welsh Assembly elections, is completely opposed to the use of force to resolve the Kosovo crisis.
We believe that a peaceful diplomatic, economic and humanitarian solution involving the Organisation for Security and Co-operation in Europe and United Nations peacekeepers and sensitive conflict resolution via independent mediators is the only way to provide a long-term solution that would benefit the ordinary people of the whole region.
