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

From Veterans For Peace- Help Build Peace Abroad and At Home

Veterans For Peace

Your efforts as a member of Veterans For Peace are as important today as they ever have been. We live in critical times. Veterans For Peace needs your monetary support (and volunteer your time if you wish) to keep up the struggle against war and to advocate for peace. We are so grateful for the support we receive from people like you who are committed to peace.

The Trump administration and the Pentagon are taking steps to increase U.S. military operations around the world. We have heard promises to increase the Pentagon budget by $54 billion and most recently, Congress - Democrats and Republicans, brokered a budget deal to keep the government running which increased military spending by $12.5 billion. Now there is a move to send more troops to Afghanistan. The Trump administration plans to double down on the past two administration’s failure of a very heavy reliance on military interventions, including the omnipresent drones that terrorize civilian families.

Your active participation and your monetary support are central to breaking through power and saving our democracy. A donation to VFP will help ensure the credible voices of veterans, who demand peace, continue to be heard.

We know peace is possible and can help others understand this too. Unfortunately, there is no indication that the Trump administration has any diplomatic plan to extricate our country from these uncontrollable vortices of endless wars. It is up to us as the people to demand and force change.

Your generous gift will help build peace abroad and at home. Now is the most crucial time to make sure the voices of wise veterans are heard pressing for serious initiatives for peace.

You contribution no matter how small or large will help us make a difference.

P.S. Ask about VFP’s Peace is Possible Legacy Gift! Your legacy toward envisioning and building a peaceful world will be remembered by friends, your extended family and all of Veterans For Peace. Thank you.

Veterans For Peace apologizes if your donation and this email crossed paths!
