16 December: Take a Stand for Peace

Do you remember those posters and bumper stickers that read, “Support the troops”? Maybe you have one of your own. Well, December 16th is the time to get your stickers, signs and banners together and join the largest veteran led-civil resistance to the US wars in recent history. FOR and other United For Peace and Justice member organizations are calling on you to join Veterans For Peace in Washington D.C. on Thursday, December 16th for civil resistance action. If you can join the D.C. action please visit Stop These Wars for more details.

For those who can’t make it to D.C., we call on FOR member groups to organize local solidarity demonstrations at 12:00PM on December 16th at the Federal Building in your city. Register your solidarty action or find one nearby by visiting the United for Peace and Justice website.
