The words 'antiwar activist' conjures up a pretty specific image to many people. Usually young, usually a hippie, usually poor, and always on the fringe of society. Those images are wrong. More than 8 years into the so-called 'war on terror' and more than 6 years after the invasion of Iraq, the antiwar movement is a lot more than 'peace-loving hippies.' We are young and old, multiracial, multi-ethnic, from all different socioeconomic backgrounds. We are leftists, liberals, and conservatives. We are libertarians and Marxists. Some of us agree on almost nothing else.
But we do agree that this war -- and all wars -- must stop now.
Welcome to the Salem AntiWar Blog, the collective effort of the women of Salem College in Winston-Salem, NC who oppose the wars. We bring you different perspectives and many different views that all come to the same conclusion.
We are not the 'fringe of society.' We are the voices screaming to be heard, and we will not be quiet.
We encourage you to read, to educate yourself, and most importantly, to join us as we tell Obama to bring the troops home now. We will let the world know, through direct and peaceful action, that we will not allow the United States to wage its bloody, imperial wars in our name.
