CALL TO STAND DOWN

Veterans For Peace calls for the immediate withdrawal of the Minnesota National Guard. We are appalled to see military weapons, vehicles and equipment once again deployed in U.S. cities to control community members who are reacting to a long history of state-sanctioned violence. When an already embattled community is subjected to militarized intimidation, by design, their environment becomes a war zone. We call on all those who are serving with the National Guard to refuse to serve violent and racist interests.

Stop Another War

War, climate crisis, and all other calamities have a common source. Read “Dark Money” by Jane Mayer for the details. Enlightening and depressing at the same time – but knowledge brings change.

“The 2020s Has To Be the Decade We Stop Climate Change—Not Start Another War” read the In These Times report
