Help reach the goal of $6,000 by the end of the day Tuesday to fund this movement. |
For the people of Iraq, March 19th marked the 8th anniversary of the occupation by the United States. A whole generation is growing up watching their homeland destroyed, friends and family dead, imprisoned or made into refugees by an insatiable empire.
Today in the United States, because of people like you, a message to the people of Iraq and in fact the world, is being sent. The message that US wars and occupations are not in our name. Together we are ending the silence.
More reports and photos from protests yesterday and today on World Can’t Wait’s Facebook page, continuously updated.
No matter where you are protesting today or if there are no actions planned in your area, you can be a vital part of the resistance to stop these wars through making a donation in support of the We Are Not Your Soldiers Tour.
Times like these call for a surge of resistance. Times like these call for a surge of truth-tellers. These times call for the We Are Not Your Soldiers Tour. Join our fund surge to raise $6,000 by March 22.
$6,000 is needed to reach today’s high school students who have grown up never knowing a world in which their government has not been occupying numerous countries.
No matter where you are, donate in support of a spring round of the We Are Not Your Soldiers Tour. Contribute financially to get anti-war veterans and the collateral murder video into classrooms. Be part of stopping the flow of fresh troops into the occupations.
This tour reaches, with passion and respect, the young people who are being preyed upon by military recruiters to become accomplices to war crimes.
Donate, invite your friends, spread the word – the world doesn’t have to be this way.
Watch Elaine Brower talk about stopping wars for empire and taking this message to youth in high school with the We Are Not Your Soldiers tour.
At the high school we were at on Friday, students were stunned by the Collateral Murder footage and the callous attitude of the troops shooting people down from the helicopter. One girl asked if they had been given drugs to make them aggressive. Another said this was how they emotionally deal with what they are doing. Almost all students of color knew someone who had been in the military.
Before we spoke to them, 50-60% had planned to join the military, through a show of hands. These presentations had a big impact, though.
