Inspired by Lt. Watada's courageous stand, a team of lawyers has committed to defending him "at cost". This is a precedent-setting court martial, and costs are projected at $30,000 or more. We are also committed to support Lt. Watada through any appeals process.

Equally important is the public opinion battle as Lt. Watada's supporters nationwide call on our government to honor his resignation and acknowldge his rights and the rights of other resisters of conscience.  

It's time to address the legality of the Iraq War and occupation.  The Watada campaign is leading a regional and national mobilization against the war and in support of Lt. Watada.  

Just how effective our collective actions will be depends in part on your contribution.
