You Can Jail the Resister But Not the Resistance!

There are growing numbers of anti-war & military resisters in prisons and brigs before the courts and court martials for nonviolent resistance to the war and war machine!

Prison & the legal system is designed to isolate the resister, convince them they are alone, break them, hoping they will recant or despair. A simple letter or postcard from you is ver significant to the safety and morale of the resister.
