Supporters from across the country are mobilizing to gather in the Ft. Lewis area and demonstrate their support for Lt. Ehren Watada as he faces court martial, Monday, February 5th.

On the eve of the court martial, let's come together to re-affirm our resistance to illegal, immoral war and celebrate Lt. Ehren Watada's courageous stand. Meet local community members and visiting supporters as we gear up to demonstrate outside the gates of Ft. Lewis and fill the courtroom with Lt. Watada's supporters!
