Support the resisters and the organizations that support them.

Take some time this holiday season to share your support for the courageous men and women who are resisting war. If you know of a family in your neighborhood, at your work, church, social group - wherever - that needs help while their soldier is in prison or living in Canada or underground in America, see if there is any way you can help them. Moral support, phone cards to contact their soldier, childcare, transportation, and housing are just a few of the possibilities.  Make a commitment - make a commitment you can keep.

If you can help the organizations that help these people, please do.

 Courage to Resist makes the following suggestion and some addresses to write some of the people they are helping.

Write holiday greetings to war resisters

The holidays are a difficult time for many folks, especially when separated from family and friends. Now imagine you’re a war resisters imprisoned for refusing to fight in Iraq.

Please take a few moments this holiday season to write a letter of support to a imprisoned objector. Better yet, organize your social club to collectively write letters to these brave men with the courage to resist.
