WWFOR’s Annual Fall Retreat in Lacey on Nov 11-12, 2O11

When we think about stopping war, we think about Afghanistan, lraq, and elsewhere. But we also want to stop the wars against poor people, the working class, immigrants, Muslims, dissenters, gays and lesbians, the environment, public education, and other people and entities that are being systematically targeted. The public and the peace movement recognize that military veterans have special credibility when they speak and act against war. The other wars listed above have made many more people into “veterans” –  veterans of the wars against the poor, the working class, and so forth.

What can we learn from each other’s struggles? How can we practice solidarity as allies with people who are being targeted? How can we work together for a peaceful foreign policy and a peaceful and just society? How can our new insights shape our strategies and actions?
