A series of portraits of US Soldiers who have publicly refused to fight in Iraq on moral grounds. These portraits do not account for all the soldiers who have refused to fight. Many more have made this courageous decision. On March 22, 2009 - the 6th anniversary of the Iraq War - these paintings were auctioned off as part of a fundraising event called Portraits of Courage. Money from the proceeds was donated to Iraq Veterans Against the War.
Please help Courage to Resist support the troops that refuse to fight with your urgently needed tax-deductible donation today. We also host a number of individual defense funds if you wish to contribute to a specific resister. Read more .
