In reply to the discussion: In One Chart, Here's Why The Anti-War Movement Collapsed [View all]annm4peace
(6,119 posts)have been under Grand Jury indictment.. 8 of them subject to raids in minneapolis.
we have put 10+ years of our lives into trying to stop/end war. some of dropped back into their own lives. I wish I did the same sooner.
Many moved into the Occupy movement, and that has led to involvement into immigration rights, housing rights, and environment.
I belong to 3 antiwar groups and all have had donations go down 1/3 to 1/2 of what it was.
I tired of others talking anti-war but don't do anything than talk. they don't go to any of the marches or rallies, call their Congress persons.
Personally I'm tired.. but I still make calls, sign petitions, donate money to peace groups, and try to make the actions of Occupy.
but I'm tired. I don't know if I have the energy for Syria when the people in the peace groups don't even agree what is going on and who is doing the gassing.
