Afghan Refugees get relief, thanks to you

This summer, Brave New Foundation supporters did something
extraordinary: in response to one of our videos, you gave $15,000
to Afghan refugees in need of food and blankets.Recently we
received video footage of the provisions purchased with that money
being distributed in an Afghan refugee camp. We thought it was
worth sharing with you.Your support showed Afghan civilians the
best of the American spirit. It is through acts like these, not
through bombing villages, that we can improve the conditions of
life for the Afghan people. And by chiseling away at anti-American
sentiment in the region, it is through acts like these that we can
improve our own security.America can do more for the Afghan people
and for ourselves through generosity and compassion than through
violence. We’ve made an impact on one group of refugees, but it
will take a change of policy to help all of Afghan society.
Congress needs to act, and it can start by holding hearings on
civilian alternatives to the failed military approach to
Afghanistan.Sign our petition. When we reach 100,000 names, we will
bring it to the Capitol and demand that hearings be held on
alternatives to war.http://rethinkaghanistan.com
