Bad News First

The news can be overwhelming, but it can also inform, inspire, and focus our engagement. Let’s gird our loins and take a quick peek.
  1. As military assets are being deployed to the Persian Gulf, President Trump is threatening “bad things” will happen to Iran unless the country agrees to limit development of nuclear capabilities.

  2. At the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace, Trump, who granted himself authority to control the organization indefinitely, pledged $10 billion from the U.S. government, in the absence of congressional appropriation.

  3. An order issued by the Department of Homeland Security says that lawful refugees who do not yet have permanent U.S. residency can be arrested and detained.

And Here's What You Can Do!

Even small efforts have the potential to ripple out in ways we don’t expect. Plus, doing good is good for you. Give it a try and see!
  1. Follow Veterans for Peace on Facebook or Instagram to learn more about their efforts.

  3. Encourage your Senators and Congressperson to boycott next week’s State of the Union to join Democratic leaders for this alternative livestream.
