"One
of the things that keeps us going is the hope
that we can effect some change in the military
regarding the way they are treating sexual misconduct...It's
bad enough we are sending our young people to
an illegal occupation. But we must draw the line
at our military having to defend themselves from
sexual predators."
--Sara Rich, activist & mother of Spc. Suzanne
Swift who went AWOL rather than subject herself
to the abuse she experienced during her first
tour of duty. To read more about Suzanne's case

Take
Action Against Sexual Assault in the Military!
CODEPINK, Military families and survivors
of military sexual trauma will be joining in action
at recruiting centers around the country to bring
awareness to this issue effecting many Iraq War
veterans and spouses of veterans. Date TBA
Due
to Halliburton/KBR's pattern of fraudulent
and abusive behavior, including fostering
a work environment conducive to violence against
its own employees, we
call upon Mr. Robert Kittel, Suspension and
Debarment Official of the U.S. Army Legal
Services Agency, to debar Halliburton/KBR
from future contracts in Iraq.
