Occupy Everywhere - Sept 17th - Day of Rage Against Wall Street and what it stands for!

Veterans Peace Team statement and application

[Image: vfp_logo_100.jpg] Dear Sisters and Brothers,

We invite you to apply to become a member of Veterans Peace Teams (VPT) and join with other military veterans across the U.S. as we plan to nonviolently stand in solidarity with the courageous citizens of the Occupy movement against excessive force by local police departments.
As many of us are aware, the inherent violence of the system's controlling elite will continue to become more manifest as the Occupy movement increases and builds its resistance.

We continue to reach out to individuals within the police with some success, but we are under no illusions about the police force as a whole.

In the past, repression against citizens has been an effective tool for the ruling elite but even as the government's capacity for violence and crowd control has increased, our ability to document and expose this violence to the masses has also grown.

That's why we've initiated the Veterans Peace Teams and are asking you to consider joining us. When people see nonviolent veterans being brutally assaulted, as we saw in the cases of Scott Olson and Kayvan Sabehgi, the resistance is not intimidated, it is strengthened.

Enclosed is an initial statement of purpose and the application for VPT. We have a great logo that we are having embroidered on military-style caps to identify us as members of the Veterans Peace Teams.

If you'd like to be part of this effort please either send an email to veteranspeaceteam@gmail.com with your name and address and we'll send you a hard copy application you can fill out and return (or download and fill out the app. below) and send to Veterans Peace Team 28 Arnold Dr. Woodstock, NY 12498, or email the document to veteranspeaceteam@gmail.com . We are also in process of setting up a web site, veteranspeaceteam.org where you'll be able to apply on line but that is still in process.
