Courage to Resist

Courage to Resist
Website: www.couragetoresist.org

Courage to Resist is a group of concerned community members, veterans, and military families who essentially support the troops that refuse to fight. Courage to Resist provides political, emotional, and material support to all military objectors critical of our government's current policies of empire. Those who decide to resist while in the military have powerful stories to tell about how they came to the decision to take a stand. Courage to Resist makes a special effort to work with resisters to tell their stories, in their own words and from their own unique perspectives. We publish those stories on our website, as well as arrange media interviews and public speaking engagements. We keep the needs and objectives of specific resisters at the forefront of our efforts. Courage to Resist is motivated by a "people power" strategy that we believe can weaken the pillars that maintain war and occupation in Iraq, Afghanistan, and elsewhere. By supporting GI resistance, counter-recruitment, and draft resistance, we hope to diminish the number of troops available for unjust war and occupation.
