Memorial Day resources and actions
Memorial Day is upon us. We mourn the loss of the 5,523 soldiers, Marines, seamen and airmen who have lost their lives, the uncounted number who have taken their own lives as a result of the war, and the hundreds of thousands of Iraqi and Afghan men, women and children who have died as a result of these senseless wars. Each loss reverberates through a family and community that will be forever changed. As heartbreaking as it can be to speak out, the Memorial Day weekend provides an opportunity for us. The American people need to hear your stories and be inspired to find a peaceful solution. Please raise your voice, this weekend. Click below for more information and resources.
May Action Alert
May is a very important month this year! This is an opportunity in the year when the general public and the media are "open" to hear your voices and understand our goal - bring our troops home now and take care of them when they return. Our action alert features information about several IMPORTANT upcoming opportunities: Mother's Day (May 9th), National Call-In Week (May 10th - 14th), and Memorial Day.
Collaborations between MFSO, IVAW, VVAW and VFP
Military Families Speak Out is committed to working closely with our partner organizations in the military/ex-military community: Iraq Veterans Against the War, Veterans For Peace, and Vietnam Veterans Against the War. There were two recent local/regional events that brought our organizations together to build relationships and share strategies for the anti-war movement.
