Dear Friend, Think about it for a minute. To be for or against the war, we all have a choice. But what if military recruiters showed up in your high school every day, offering you and your family money for enlisting in the army? Or citizenship if you are an immigrant? What if you were harassed, detained and imprisoned for refusing to go to war? The truth is, choosing peace isn’t easy in today’s society. It takes incredible strength and determination to do what you feel is right when our government thinks you’re wrong. When activists and World War II conscientious objectors opposed to the Vietnam War started the Agape Foundation in 1969, they understood the critical need to strengthen the anti-war movement with funds and resources. In fact, we were founded in order to fund anti-war activism. It’s unfortunate that we are still doing that today. For more than 40 years, our support has amplified the voices of those in our community who say “NO!” to war and violence, providing more than $12.5 million to grassroots organizations in California. With your financial assistance, the Agape Foundation has funded more than 30 organizations specifically working for demilitarization since the onset of the war in Iraq. |
