Dear Supporters,

This week, President Obama and the military establishment are discussing their plans for escalation in Afghanistan. But their perspective does not take into account the high human cost of the occupation, and the soldiers, Marines, and Afghan people who are paying the price for over 8 years of disastrous military policy.


On October 7th we will enter the 9th year of the U.S. occupation of Afghanistan. Throughout the month of October, IVAW will be highlighting the stories of our members who have served there, and those who have refused to go. Stay tuned for blog entries and audio podcasts of their first-hand experiences and what made them turn against the war.


IVAW chapters around the country also will be holding college teach-ins and other educational events to share what they know about the Afghanistan occupation.


We hope to bury the myth, once-and-for-all, that Afghanistan is "the Good War," because too many Amercans are still on the fence about it.


Now is the time to sharpen debate and broaden consensus that the U.S. must get out of Afghanistan.

Here's how you can help:

Thank you for being involved. Your participation in this campaign is critical.
