As we look back on an amazing year for the Civilian-Soldier Alliance (CivSol), we are incredibly thankful to our friends, family, and supporters for making this critical work possible. At this critical time in our work, we urge you to consider making a contribution to the Operation Recovery Resident Organizer Program in Fort Hood, Texas. Help us carry this important service member and veteran led organizing project forward. We need to raise $6,000 by January in order to make this program a reality.

Army vet Jim Morse and Baltimore CivSol member Sergio España share their thoughts on the importance of veteran participation in the occupy movements and the historical necessity to further the bonds between civilian and veteran-led movements.
