Call to Support Courage to Resist

“My daughter Suzanne went AWOL days before her second deployment to Iraq as a result of her severe post traumatic stress disorder and military sexual trauma of her first tour. When she didn’t return to Iraq, we were scared to death and did not know where to turn for help. However, we found Courage to Resist. The staff and volunteers were amazing and continue to support us through a horrible battle and ordeal.”
—Sara Rich, mother of active duty Army Spc. Suzanne Swift



Dear Friend,

Courage to Resist supports soldiers, sailors, and Marines resisting this illegal and immoral war. We are a group of concerned citizens, veterans and military families who believe that supporting the troops who refuse to fight an unjust occupation war will play a critical role in ending the war. We organize speaking tours for GI resisters, attend court martials, rally at the gates of military bases, secure legal defense for resisters, raise funds, and provide personal support to resisters and their families. We also participate in counter-recruitment events in schools and communities around the country.

We are asking you to join us in doing all of this and much more.
