Peace of the Action Event Schedule

Sixty-five congress members, including 60 Democrats and 5 Republicans, voted to end the occupation of Afghanistan on Wednesday. But 356 congress members, including 189 Democrats and 167 Republicans voted to keep the war going. This creates a better opportunity than you might think. But we have a lot of work to do, and it is the work of rebellion and resistance. We can take a moral stand now, or we can doom our children and the world to suffering. There are no other choices, and waiting for others to lead us is not a moral option.
