IVAW is in high gear!
Our members are focused on reaching out to their active duty brothers and sisters.
Our strategy is built around mobilizing the military community to withdraw its support for the war, and our members are putting that strategy into action.
IVAW’s Seattle chapter is spearheading a week of Active Duty outreach to Ft. Lewis from February 18-24, with support from the Bellingham chapter and other members in the northwest.
he Seattle chapter has been very active - holding weekly meetings and working closely with GIs at Ft. Lewis to spread the word about IVAW’s work to end the war.
As part of this effort, the chapter is hosting a “Soldier, You’re Not Alone” benefit concert on February 21st in Tacoma.
All ages are welcome, and active duty servicemembers get in free with a Military ID.
Spread the word!

Our fourth active duty chapter:
Deep in the heart of Texas, soldiers at Ft. Hood who recently returned from Iraq have organized our fourth Active Duty chapter.
Organizing an IVAW chapter on a military base isn’t easy, which is why we’re proud of all our members who are organizing on bases, both active duty and local veteran members who are supporting them.
We welcome our newest members back from Iraq, and into the IVAW family!
