We have 3 points of unity:
Immediate Withdrawal
1. Immediate withdrawal of all occupying forces in Iraq
Reparations
2. Reparations for the human and structural damages Iraq has suffered, and stopping the corporate pillaging of Iraq so that their people can control their own lives and future
Full Benefits
3. Full benefits, adequate healthcare (including mental health), and other supports for returning servicemen and women.
Iraq Veterans Against the War has also passed resolutions opposing the war in Afghanistan, in support of non-violence, and opposing the Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.
IVAW is a national organization that has a chapter here in Oregon. Members and supporters are spread out throughout the state.
If you are a member of the military, veteran, or the family member, and you need assistance with something (anything) we will do our best to help. IVAW-Oregon (and IVAW as an organization) doesn't give a shit about your political views, we are veterans, and veterans need to help veterans.
