From the organizers:
“Veterans For Peace will hold our annual convention online this year again. We’ve had an amazing experience the past two years and we look forward to another successful Convention! We know that many of us will miss being able to greet each other in person but we also know that each and every one of us wants to make sure all of our members are safe and healthy.
The theme of this year’s convention is From War Making to Peace Seeking. More information will be coming soon so make sure to check back periodically”
