From Veterans For Peace- Join Us by Challenging Islamophobia!

  
For the past two years, the Veterans For Peace Veterans Challenge Islamophobia campaign has been organizing against prejudice, racism, and hostility expressed towards Islam and the Muslim Community. 
We have been getting involved in local Muslim communities, spreading the message to other veteran groups, holding educational events in mosques, and we have even been kicked out of Trump rallies.
Right now our work against Islamophobia is more important than ever! Use your veteran voice to speak out. Stand against hate, sign our statement, and show your support for targeted communities.
Here is how you can take action today:
  • Sign the Veterans Challenge Islamophobia Statement
  • Share your reasons for signing the statement on social media, tag VCI, and use the hashtag #VetsSpeakOut
  • Stay updated by following us on Facebook and Twitter
  • Explore our new website for multitude of useful resources including bystander intervention guides, talking points, and other educational information
  • Donate here to ensure that VCI can continue to work against hate

Let your voice be heard. Stand up for the values of tolerance, respect, and love for all people and all faiths. Our values, as a nation, cannot abide and will not long endure amidst the divisiveness of hate speech and Islamophobia.

Keep an eye out for VCI t-shirts and buttons coming soon! Design ideas? Email us atchallenge@veteransforpeace.org.
