Join Under the Hood Cafe and Outreach Center (Killeen, TX), Coffee Strong (Lakewood, WA), and The Clearing Barrel (Kaiserslautern, Germany) for the first-ever GI Coffeehouse West Coast Tour! With stops in more than a dozen cities, coffeehouse organizers will meet with local activists and supporters, sharing information and stories from the coffeehouses, which over the years have been on the frontlines of support for service members and military families near Fort Hood, Joint Base Lewis-McChord, and the central US base in Europe.
The GI coffeehouses have supported war resisters from Ehren Watada to Travis Bishop to Victor Agosto and have worked to shift the US national dialogue about militarism and trauma during times of crisis, such as the 2009 shooting at Fort Hood and the 2012 Kandahar massacre.
For a complete tour schedule, speaker bios and photos, along with information on the three GI coffeehouses, go to the GI Coffeehouse Tour website. Get in touch by emailing kimber [at] warresisters.org if you'd like to volunteer or get involved and sign up here to get tour updates.
If you can't join the coffeehouses at any of their tour stops, then please consider making a donation to support the ongoing work of these three vital organizations working everyday at key pressure points of US militarism.
Sponsors of the GI Coffeehouse West Coast Tour include War Resisters League, Veterans for Peace, Iraq Veterans Against the War, the Military Law Task Force, Center for Conscience and War, Courage to Resist, March Forward, Center for Conscience in Action, Catalyst Project, and the GI Rights Network.
