A message from Army Spc. Agustín Aguayo,
Iraq War veteran and war resister
Since the day I surrendered to military custody after refusing to return to Iraq, Courage to Resist has been there for me and my family as a constant fountain of support. This support has come in many forms, from a friendly call, to organizing a campaign to cover my legal expenses and basic needs. I believe only an organization with altruistic motives that truly cares would have done this. As someone who has felt the enormous relief of having a strong support group behind me, it is a privilege now as a member of Courage to Resist to help others as I have been helped.
Donate to Courage to Resist quickly, securely & tax-deductible.

PayPal contributions are NOT tax-deductible. We are again accepting PayPal contributions. Our relationship with PayPal has been “complicated” to put it mildly. On January 29, 2011, PayPal restricted access to our account based on the “need for additional information.” After a month of trying to find a possible resolution with senior PayPal staff, we issued a statement on February 24, 2011, regarding the situation. After thousands of supporters signed a petition and contacted PayPal in protest, our account was restored a few hours later without explanation.

“I support war resisters and I think the peace movement should, also, with our money, energy, and morally. I wish my son, Casey, had refused to go.”
I respect and admire your courage and cause. I trust that individual conscience is not dead and to see evidence of same is both encouraging and refreshing. This is why I choose to donate.
Respectfully,
Richard C. Andrews
