AMERICAN LEFT HISTORY

This space is dedicated to the proposition that we need to know the history of the struggles on the left and of earlier progressive movements here and world-wide. If we can learn from the mistakes made in the past (as well as what went right) we can move forward in the future to create a more just and equitable society. We will be reviewing books, CDs, and movies we believe everyone needs to read, hear and look at as well as making commentary from time to time. Greg Green, site manager

	Veterans For Peace has been celebrating Armistice Day almost since the organization's inception, with a few chapters doing yearly events. However, in 2008 the effort became a national effort with the passage of an official Veterans For Peace resolution. Since then, chapters across the country have been "Reclaiming Armistice Day" pushing the celebration of peace into the national conversation on Veterans Day. This year on Armistice Day, Veterans For Peace chapters across the country mobilized around the country to lift up peace! Some used the opportunity to call for peace with Korea, by releasing a People's Peace Treaty with Korea and chapters across the country mobilized in an effort to stop more war. Veterans also lead a Veteran march at the border calling for an end to all U.S. militarization on the border and throughout Latin America. Check out the Armistice Recap, including some media coverage! Upload your Armistice Day photos to the VFP Google Folder 2017!
