"Regime Change Begins at Home" is a good slogan: we need to build the movement for social justice in the US too. How can we hook up the work people are doing on individual issues (health, living wages, education, housing, immigration. etc. etc)? Could we get each constituency to learn more about other issues and mobilize for each other? All of the issues are related to the way the military-industrial system gives lowest priority to people's real needs. Can we make the links? If so, we could have a bigger impact and build political credibility for an alternative vision of our future.

We are 100% volunteer and depend on your participation to sustain our efforts!
