I just sent an email to the head of the Illinois National Guard urging him
not to activate his troops against peaceful protesters, including Iraq and
Afghanistan veterans who will be marching at the NATO summit on May 20.
Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans Against the War are joining with thousands to
nonviolently demonstrate against NATO's 11-year war in Afghanistan and for
rebuilding our communities here at home. Veterans participating in the
march will be ceremoniously turning in their medals to NATO generals at the
end of the march.
Join me in urging Major General Enyart of the Illinois National Guard to
ensure that his soldiers stand down in solidarity with the peaceful NATO
summit protest by sending him an email:
