It's time to resist the next war now Hi Alfred. You probably know that Courage to Resist has been at the center of the most significant anti-war campaigns of the post-9/11 era, from leading the campaign to free military intel analyst Chelsea Manning (2010-2017) all the way back to defending Lt. Ehren Watada (2006-2007), the first military officer to refuse deployment to Iraq. President Trump seems to toy with the idea of new wars daily, from Iran and North Korea to Syria. The only thing that's certain is that we need to be ready to support the next wave of military resistance to endless war, but we need your help today to do so. Together we need to raise $25,000 by the end of July. We have $1,000 in matching challenge donorsto double your impact today! Thank you to Anonymous (Grandmother for peace, Miami, FL) $500, Matt Lou (Vietnam veteran, Daly City, CA) $250, and Mary Albertson (Seattle, WA) $250. Are you able to be a matching challenge donor, either publicly identified or anonymously, of $100 or more? If so, please contact anya@couragetoresist.org D O N A T E towards a world without war Are we worth fighting for? Don't take our word for it "I would urge people to support Courage to Resist in whatever way they can. I can think of nothing more important in stopping the war ..." —Howard Zinn, author, historian, activist (1922-2010) "One of the best decisions Chelsea Manning Support Network ever made was hooking up with Courage to Resist. They are amazing. I can't sing their praises enough. In fact I became a regular donor." —Rainey Reitman, Director of Activism, Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) D O N A T E to support resistance

ACTION ALERT: Student/Farmworker Alliance announces “Pulling Back the Curtain on Wendy’s” Week of Action!

Mark your calendars: Oct. 22-28, 2018!

ACTION ALERT: Student/Farmworker Alliance announces “Pulling Back the Curtain on Wendy’s” Week of Action, Oct. 22-28! Today, we bring you big news from the Student/Farmworker Alliance, the ever-growing, national network of students and young people who have been keeping the heat cranked up on Wendy’s all year long! This week, students announced their October National Week of Action, with the theme of “Pulling Back the Curtain on Wendy’s”. So mark your calendars, Fair Food Nation, because on October 22nd – 28th, students will be bringing the call for human rights in the fields straight to Wendy’s doorstep on campuses and in the streets across the country! Here are the full details on the upcoming action – and how YOU can get involved! ACTION ALERT: “Pulling Back the Curtain on Wendy’s” National Week of Action, Oct. 22-28! Students across the country are gearing up for a week of coordinated protests to expose human rights abuses in Wendy’s produce supply chain and demand a commitment to the Fair Food Program! Earlier this summer, caving to massive pressure generated by the Fair Food movement’s national boycott, Wendy’s announced its decision to move the vast majority of its tomato purchasing away from the Mexican tomato industry to U.S. and Canadian greenhouses by year end. But we, as young people and steadfast allies to the CIW, are far from being fooled by Wendy’s new tomato sourcing strategy. Contrary to the misinformation released by Wendy’s, including the claim of the”inherent benefits of safe, indoor working conditions” in greenhouse operations, this shift is nothing more than another PR ploy to deceive consumers. As CIW debunked early on, greenhouses do not inherently shield farmworkers from sexual violence and exploitation — and without meaningful enforcement and monitoring, abuses will undoubtedly flourish with impunity. Wendy’s: we’re on to your empty sustainability rhetoric and your phony auditing schemes and we’re not going anywhere!...

Veterans Applaud Postponement of Costly Military Parade

Veterans For Peace is encouraged at the announcement that the costly military parade has been postponed. Since the first day this parade was announced, Veterans For Peace members have been organizing to stop this parade.  Yesterday, one day after the No Trump Military Parade coalition, of which Veterans For Peace is a founding member, announced that 187 organizations would be joining together to protest the parade, including hundreds of veterans.

However, our commitment will not waver until this gross display of militarism is canceled.  As military veterans from WWII to the current era of conflicts, who have trained for, and in many cases, fought in U.S. wars, we know that a parade demonstrating our military might will do nothing to end wars, bring about peace or help our fellow veterans and active duty service members.  

At a moment when the U.S. is aggressively posturing around the globe, taking us further away from moments of diplomacy and peace, attacks on veterans healthcare, deportations and a mental health epidemic where veterans and service members commit suicide at a rate of 21 times a day, a military parade is not where our priorities should be focused.

Veterans For Peace will continue to organize until this parade is canceled and will continue with our efforts to “Reclaim Armistice Day” with a  solemn procession in Washington D.C. on November 11 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice that ended the horrible carnage of World War I.

Since the first day this parade was announced, Veterans For Peace members have been organizing to stop this parade.  Yesterday, one day after the No Trump Military Parade coalition, of which Veterans For Peace is a founding member, announced that 187 organizations would be joining together to protest the parade, including hundreds of veterans, our hard work paid off! However, we can’t stop until “postponement” turns to CANCELED!  Protest actions being planned for D.C. will go ahead, and Veterans For Peace will continue with the planning of their silent memorial march to Reclaim Armistice Day in Washington D.C.  Veterans and military family members will lead a solemn procession among the various war memorials on the mall on November 11 to mark the 100th anniversary of the Armistice that ended the horrible carnage of World War I. Street theater will dramatize the costs of war and challenge the manipulation of support for soldiers, veterans and war dead to prepare the public for rich men's wars. Can you join us in D.C. and help out our continued organizing by donating today? P.S. Read our official statement on the postponement of the parade.
