As Veterans For Peace we are committed to ending America’s addiction to war and our senseless resolve to solve everything with military violence.
Please help me along with Friends of Palestine - Wisconsin to advance a Milwaukee Common Council Resolution asking the federal government to stop funding Israel’s brutal illegal occupation of Palestine and return Milwaukee’s share of this foreign aid to address local community needs.
If you are a resident of the city of Milwaukee, go to milwaukeeneeds.org:
- Enter your Milwaukee zip code.
- You will see the letter to be sent to your alderperson in your name.
- Complete your information and “Send Your Message.”
Additionally you can compose your own e-mail or call your alderperson urging her/him to support or sponsor this resolution - they all have received a packet of information about this action. [Find your alderperson’s contact information at: http://itmdapps.milwaukee.gov/electedreps/electedRepsInfo/checkAddress.jsp]
We also need help getting out the word in Milwaukee. If you know of a venue willing to share our campaign with their members please let me know.
For information, go to milwaukeeneeds.org or contact me. Also, contact me if you’d like to initiate a similar campaign in another municipality.
If you are not a Milwaukee resident, please share this information with people who are.
Thank you for your support. Only when we push together can we hope to move in the right direction.
