On April 30, 2008 Courage to Resist and SF Bay Area allies gathered to appreciate our staff organizer Lori Hurlebaus who recently resigned. She is in Philadelphia for the Summer working as an interim Organizer in the national office of Iraq Veterans Against the War while their Organizing Director is out on paternity leave.
Sara Rich, Courage to Resist
May 8, 2008
It is with mixed emotions that Courage to Resist says goodbye to Lori Hurlebaus. Lori's passion and expertise around supporting war resisters has been invaluable. From a collective point of view she was a leader and an amazing organizer. She has a vision for what we all have to do to end this war. |

Courage to Resist. April 9, 2008 update
Courage to Resist was proud to attend and support “Winter Soldier: Iraq and Afghanistan” held March 13-16 at the National Labor College near Washington DC. Iraq Veterans Against the War brought together over 200 recent veterans to speak out against the occupations. Below is audio testimony of "The Future of GI Resistance" panel which ended the hearings. Also are a few snapshots of the weekend. We also have brief commentary from Courage to Resist organizers Sara Rich (who attended with her active duty daughter Suzanne Swift) and Lori Hurlebaus—the behind the scenes stage manager of the hearings. Select "Read more..." for audio and photos. |
