Please donate today to support the troops who refuse to fight! … take advantage of a year-end tax deduction.
The Courage to Resist December 2015 national newsletter (PDF) is arriving in mailboxes across the country in the next few days. In this issue you can read about the US military “Drone War” objectors who are courageously speaking out, AWOL war resister Andre Shepherd’s human rights award, Chelsea Manning’s punishment for absurd prison infractions, and finally, Chelsea’s op-ed, “ISIS shouldn’t dictate how we address refugees–or privacy.”
We also enclosed a challenge to our supporters to help pay for Chelsea Manning’s upcoming legal appeal before the US Army Court of Criminal Appeals.
Aside for forcing us to regularly evaluate and summarize our efforts, the point of these newsletters is to help us raise funds to sustain our work in support of the troops who have the courage to resist. So, please donate today!
Folks who we mail these newsletters to have have either donated, or contacted Courage to Resist for the first time, recently. Folks often ask, “Why even print and send actual hard-copies any more?” In order to for us to carry out our mission, successful and systematic fundraising is a necessity. Online appeals still only account for about half of our funding.
“Courage to Resist has shown time and time again that war resisters and whistleblowers can depend on them.”
