Abandoning Ukraine isn’t just a moral failure—it’s a losing deal for America. Our support fuels the U.S. economy, weakens our enemies, and costs a fraction of past wars.

For less than 1% of our defense budget, America has boosted our economy, crippled Russia’s military, deterred China, and disrupted global terrorism—all without risking a single U.S. soldier. This isn’t charity—it’s one of the best strategic investments we’ve ever made… Cutting off Ukraine reverses all of that.

Trump and Hegseth are clear and present dangers to our allies. Almost three years after the start of Russia's invasion, Trump and Hegseth are siding with Putin—dismissing Ukraine’s NATO hopes and pushing for concessions. Weak, reckless, and dangerous.

This will be our second Movie Night that SD31 and SD35 is hosting. Again, we will be gathering at the Andover Community Center in the Teem Room. We will have a potluck dinner so plan to bring a dish or desert to share. No worries if you don't, there is always plenty to to go around. Please sign up by Thursday, February 27th so we can get a count on the number of people to expect. Also, we do have to pay a small fee to cover the cost of renting the room so we will be accepting donations to help cover the cost.

The movie this month is titled "Stonebreakers". Stonebreakers chronicles the conflicts around monuments that arose in the U.S. during the George Floyd protests and the 2020 election. As statues of Columbus, Confederates and Founding Fathers fall, a nation's triumphalist myths are called into question. The film interrogates the link between history and political action in a nation that must confront its past now more urgently than ever.
