80% of the casualties of war are women & children.  $1 trillion a year is spent on the military worldwide, more than half by the US. 10% of this would provide the essentials of life for all: water, sanitation, housing, healthcare, nutrition, literacy…

INVEST IN CARING NOT KILLING!

"To stop this war, for the soldiers to stop fighting it, they must have the unconditional support of the people.

“How do you support the troops but not the war? By supporting those who can truly stop it; let them know that resistance to participate in an illegal war is not futile and not without a future." 

Lt. Ehren Watada, first US officer to refuse to go to Iraq - facing 7 years in prison. His court-martial ended in a mistrial but he is still in legal limbo more than a year later.

The Winter Soldier hearings are modeled on the 1971 event of the same name organized by anti-war veterans who galvanized the movement that, together with the Vietnamese resistance movement, ended the Vietnam war. 

Wherever we are, we all suffer from war: the utter theft of our lives and resources.  Our survival often depends on soldiers saying “No”! 

Soldiers – women and men – who refuse to kill, maim, rape and torture are jailed, assaulted and forced underground.  With supporters and campaigns, so often organized by women, more and more are determined to obey their conscience rather than military orders.
