#VVAW
It's a Scaveneger Hunt in London today! Looks like we can cross "The Crown Jewels" off the list, now where's a double decker bus? Our streak is maintained by a lone $10 donation today, so let's close out the last day of the first Round strong! Please donate to the VVAW here! ko-fi.com/tyrnneaveranth

I’m really enjoying LVFC, but let’s not forget about ReshiraMarch while we’re enjoying the party! Your donations have been sent to the VVAW and will be used to help make the world a better place!

The Vietnam Veterans Against the War helped keep the peace during the DNC. The VVAW used highly disciplined, symbolic tactics, leveraging their status as veterans to highlight the moral cost of the war. However, other militant factions wanted direct action and vowed to shut down the RNC. /3

Milwaukee, 55 years ago today

“A group of people walk down the middle of the street. They are carrying a sign with a photo of Chairman Mao. On September 6, 1971 Vietnam Veterans Against War (VVAW) sponsered a Peace Parade down Wisconsin Avenue.” — Milwaukee Public Library

TIL that Bob Avakian almost single-handedly killed the veteran's movement in the 1970s (VVAW/WSO), directing RU to take over key leadership positions and issue insane proclamations about Stalin and antirevisionism that alienated all the normal people who were building military cadre

When VVAW started to get involved a lot more people paid attention. It may take that kind of participation from those most affected to turn this around.
Not saying there should not be promptu demonstrations, but there need to be more that more people can get to.

Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) was founded on #tdih in 1967. They were founded to oppose U.S. policy and participation in the Vietnam War.

During the Nixon Administration, they were listed as #2 most dangerous group in the US (after the Black Panthers).

Thank you. VVAW was a big step in turning ordinary Americans against the "war" in VietNam. We need Veterans in this fight now.

We also have an American tradition of setting aside these ethical norms to call attention to larger issues when times aren’t normal.

Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) made this part of their M.O. in the late 60s/early 70s.

The military survived, and it became a meaningful act of resistance.

This has to stop. Those of us that have known war realize the terror the Ukrainians experience each night. VVAW.

I almost feel like being in the VVAW in the '70s.

During the Iraq War, Iraq Vets against the War, now called @vetsaboutface.bsky.social, formed to oppose the Iraq war.

Based upon the tradition of VVAW, they organize against the wars, and conducted their own Winter Soldier Investigation around the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

The largest protest against the Vietnam War in D.C. was the "Vietnam War Out Now" rally on April 24, 1971, with an estimated 500,000 participants. Part of a larger week of anti-war demonstrations, including Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) activities. 150,000 people marched in San Francisco.

Colorado Springs today, a first-time demonstrator, a concerned citizen and a VVAW member. We say, "Fight back."

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK!?!?!?!

The military has no mechanism for accepting donations.
That's the USO, VFW, VVAW ... NOT the Pentagon
The amount is meaningless — less than one day of salary. But the principle is important: once the armed services are paid by the oligarchs, they become a private militia, and we no longer have a country.

(2) Decentralization. Groups like the Vietnam Veterans Against the War (VVAW) operated in small, autonomous cells to avoid FBI infiltration.
