Wage Peace Campaigns

Join us Wednesday, December 28, 2011 for Legacies of War in Iraq!

We will mark the exit of US combat troops from Iraq and the impact of 30 years of war and sanctions. There will be a toll-free call-in number available. Event speakers include: Kathy Kelly, Raed Jarrar, Celeste Zappala, Abdulla Al-Obeidi, Mary Trotochaud, and Rick McDowell.

Dear Friends,

Thank you for standing with AFSC and the Wage Peace campaign in 2011!

There are many of you who have worked for years to insure that there would be no permanent US military bases in Iraq and that US troops would leave.

Congratulations, yesterday the last US combat troops deployed out of Iraq.

We live in a world of stark contrasts.

Dear Friends,

With President Obama's confirmation that all US troops will leave Iraq by the end of the year it's time again to consider the human and financial costs of war. More than $1 trillion have been spent on Iraq and Afghanistan, just imagine what benefit that money could have wrought. It’s time to hear what  young people – who will be paying for these wars for years to come – have to say about how best to remedy the distorted spending priorities shown in the current federal budget.
