  • Quotation from Pastor Martin Nielmoller (1892-1984) Text on poster: "In Germany they first came for the Communists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Communist. Then they came for the Jews and I did not speak out - because I was not a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics and I did not speak up because I was a Protestant. Then they came for me - and there was no one left to speak out for me." -Pastor Martin Niemöller

    Quotation from Pastor Martin Niemöller (1892-1984) He survived internment in a Nazi concentration camp. This quotation is widely used to voice the need for unity and supporting one another under authoritarian governments and is a popular quotation to describe the dangers of political apathy in the face of authoritarianism. Repression always begins with specific and targeted fear and hatred which soon escalates to encompass more and more targeted groups.

    Beyond Border Patrol
    July 26, 2023
    WRL has long challenged military and police recruitment. Our newest counter-recruitment resource, Beyond Border Patrol, takes on the lies of Border Patrol recruiters – particularly in the borderlands – and debunks them with the realities of the job and the agency’s legacy of abuse. Like military and police recruiters, Border Patrol recruiters target poor people and young people of color in border communities, and promote careers in law enforcement as a stable way of life and a means to “protect” your community.

    WRL Statement On the Capture of Saddam Hussein
    July 5, 2023
    The media emphasis on the capture of Saddam Hussein repeats one of the fundamental mistakes made by successive U.S. administrations: that Hussein is Iraq. Iraq — as the peace movement has been saying, and as the U.S. occupiers and media are only beginning to discover — is a vast and complex country, and Hussein’s capture…
