A flyer that Veterans For Peace is beginning to distribute to U.S. soldiers who are being deployed to the Mexican border to confront the caravan of Central American asylum seekers.

Dear VFP Members and Friends,

Attached is a flyer that Veterans For Peace is beginning to distribute to U.S. soldiers who are being deployed to the Mexican border to confront the caravan of Central American asylum seekers.  It offers perspective, support and resources to soldiers who may be questioning this misguided military mission and their role within it. 

Please feel free to download, print and distribute, or to share online.  Or if you wish to put together your own flyer, you are free to use any of this flyer that you may find useful.

Even if you do not live near the U.S./Mexico border, it is important to reach out to GI's wherever they are.  Please consider organizing vigils or protests outside military bases or nearby.

The specter of veterans reaching out to GI's at this time may be appealing to the media.  It could help us to educate both soldiers and the wider public about how U.S. foreign policy in Latin America - decades of support for corrupt, undemocratic governments - has created the situation that is forcing Central American families to flee from extreme violence and poverty.

The wars at home and abroad are now intersecting.  They are challenging us to seize the moment.

Peace at Home, Peace Abroad!
