GI Rights Hotline

In my last post, I wrote about Bradley Manning and the effort to raise funds for his defense. Because the internet is an easy medium for con artists, I decided to check out Courage to Resist by calling the GI Rights Hotline in San Francisco. Yesterday, I received a very nice call from one of the men who works there. He verified that Courage to Resist is indeed a reputable organization.  He also told me a little bit about the GI Rights Hotline.  Please check out the link to their website.  If you live in the San Francisco area, the organization can always use help.  You can train to be a telephone counselor and help GIs explore their options.

If you live on the East Coast, I recommend Quaker House in Fayetteville, North Carolina.  They have a GI hotline too. I have been on their mailing list forever and they have an excellent newsletter that they send out. It is full of good information on war resistance and it is not only informative, it is well-written and a joy to read.
