WBW News & Action: STOP EVERY WAR

Dear Friend,

So many wars, all worthy of opposition: who has that much time? But wars are symptoms of the disease of militarism. Take away the money, the weapons, and belief in the lies, and you take away all the wars. At WBW we’re opposing a lot of specific wars and threatened wars, but also the physical and cultural infrastructure of the war machine.

—David Swanson, Executive Director, World BEYOND War
