WE ARE CALLING THE MARINES TO DESSERT NOW
While encouraging service persons to desert is a crime outlined by the Espionage Act, we will be nearly as bold by inviting Marines and the community to join us in dessert. Cupcakes and peace-themed desserts will be available . . . and if they do decide to dessert, we will be there to support them!
Courage to Resist has provided legal, material, and political support to hundreds of US military service persons since 2006, who have faced military prosecution for acts of conscience, including going AWOL and/or refusing to fight endless, unjust wars and occupations. Gathering in celebration of May 15th International Conscientious Objectors Day.
Co-sponsored by Courage to Resist, War Resisters League-West and CodePink
