On Friday Dcember 8, a very cold and windy day (20F all day), members of PeaceVermont, AFSC-VT and Central VT WILPF tabled on State St from 11 am – 5 pm and vigiled from 4-5pm. Our banner read “Support GI War Resisters”. We also had large posters of Iraqi victims as well as GI boots from AFSC. We had a small but committed group of people for our candlelight vigil. Many people took information on war resisters; many honked as they passed our vigil.
Why Donate?
“Courage to Resist puts the slogan of “support the troops but not the war” into practice every day. Their work to publicize and support the courage of GI resisters is an essential component of stopping the war machine.”
-Kelly Campbell, co-founder of Sept. 11 Families for a Peaceful Tomorrow
