The Next Chapter:
Do Something About It!
Here are a few groups that are trying to
figure that out ...
We've only been able to include in this list a
small number of the many groups conducting anti-militarist education and
organizing anti-war activities in the U.S. The movement is growing
rapidly and is very diverse. Some of the most vibrant organizations are
fledging, local, sectional, and idiosyncratic (and didn't make it on
this list). More organizations are listed on Frank Dorrel's website (www.addictedtowar.com).
We encourage you to contact groups whose activities are most closely
aligned with your own concerns, beliefs, and talents.
