The CCD attack on the Feb.\u00a019 rally ends by providing specifics of the date and location of the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Over recent months, the CCD target list has included dozens of Schiller Institute leaders and speakers at Schiller Institute events, some of whom have also been featured prominently on the Myrotvorets hit list as well\u2014including Diane Sare, candidate for the U.S. Senate from New York, who is a scheduled speaker at the Feb.&nbsp;19 rally, as are a number of other individuals on those lists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Schiller Institute responded to the new CCD posting by recalling that the CCD has been and continues to be financed by the U.S. government, specifically by agencies of the State Department. The Schiller Institute has also informed dozens of House and Senate offices, on both sides of the aisle, of the details of the CCD\/Myrotvorets lists, urging that U.S. government funding be stopped and that their violent targeting of political enemies be prohibited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Schiller Institute takes the opportunity of this latest threat by the CCD to urge those Congressional offices that have been informed, and others responsible for oversight of such funding, as well as the relevant agencies of the Federal government who have heretofore supported the CCD, to help ensure that the Feb.&nbsp;19 rally proceeds peacefully, as a group of Americans of disparate political ideologies join to exercise their First Amendment rights, calling for \u201cNot One More Penny for War in Ukraine\u201d and \u201cNegotiate Peace,\u201d among other demands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The full text of the English-language version posted by the <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/TheCenterforCounteringDisinfo\/1774\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/t.me\/TheCenterforCounteringDisinfo\/1774\">CCD on its Telegram site<\/a> follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIn the USA, an anti-war rally is planned with the demand to stop military aid to Ukraine and start peace negotiations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Libertarian and People\u2019s Parties of the USA are organizing a rally called \u2018Rage Against the War Machine.\u2019 During the rally, the speakers plan to address President Joe Biden with a number of demands, in particular regarding the war in Ukraine.
