This year,
VFP has joined the #GivingTuesday campaign, a global day
dedicated to giving back. This 24-hour event encourages us all to invest in
causes that matter most to us. We have set a goal of raising $5,000 in 24
hours.
Veterans For
Peace is an international organization made up of military veterans, military
family members, and allies. We are dedicated to building a culture of peace,
exposing the true costs of war, and healing the wounds of war. As military
veterans we know the full cost of war. Help us move our nation from waging
endless war to waging peace.
On Tuesday December 1st, you can join the
thousands of people who have come together for one common purpose: to celebrate
generosity and to give.
With the shadows of war growing, the efforts of
veterans working for peace are needed more than ever. We need your support to
continue our work.
HELPING IS AS EASY AS 1- 2- 3

Statement of Purpose
- We, having
dutifully served our nation, do hereby affirm our greater responsibility to
serve the cause of world peace. To this end we will work, with others
- To increase
public awareness of the costs of war
- To restrain
our government from intervening, overtly and covertly, in the internal affairs
of other nations
- To end the
arms race and to reduce and eventually eliminate nuclear
weapons
- To seek
justice for veterans and victims of war
- To abolish
war as an instrument of national policy.
To achieve these
goals, members of Veterans For Peace pledge to use non-violent means and to
maintain an organization that is both democratic and open with the understanding
that all members are trusted to act in the best interests of the group for the
larger purpose of world peace.
Be fearless
in the face of war. Support a peace organization that can make a difference.
Donate to Veterans For Peace. Peace is possible. It is hard, but it is cheaper
in blood and national treasure than war.
