Our resources page includes a variety of materials to help support Winter Soldier.

There are many ways you can help support Winter Soldier wherever you are, anywhere in the country or around the world. We need your help to spread the word to veterans and other allies. We need your help pay for the costs of Winter Soldier. And we want you to use the four days of testimony to organize your community to end the war now.

Attendance at Winter Soldier: Iraq & Afghanistan is not open to the general public because of limited space at the event site. Members of Iraq Veterans Against the War, Vietnam Veterans Against the War, Military Families Speak Out, and Gold Star Families Speak Out will attend the panels at Winter Soldier.

To bring the testimonies to the general public and GIs all over the world we have made it possible to watch the live broadcasts online and on television, and to listen online and the radio. You can find out more about how to watch or listen here. To find a local Winter Soldier screening event or to submit a screening event go to our events map.

Much of what you can do, you can do on your own. We’ve put together a number of resources below to help you get started. If you have questions or suggestions, please contact us at wintersoldierally [at] ivaw [dot] org.

Organize your neighbors to watch Winter Soldier

We are providing live access to Winter Soldier via the web, satellite TV and radio. Find out how to watch.

You can help IVAW spread these eyewitness accounts across the country and the world by organizing a viewing event. Some local television and radio stations will pick up the broadcasts, and the entire weekend of panels will be shown live and archived online at the IVAW website (ivaw.org). Any location with a broadband internet connection and a projector can be set up for public viewing of the broadcasts, and for higher quality video, the event will be broadcast by satellite on March 14th and 15th.

Let us and your neighbors know about your plans. Winter Soldier viewing events can be posted on our events map. We have also compiled some resources that may be useful at your events. Please feel download and share.

If you have questions about how to set up an event, please email wintersoldierally [at] ivaw [dot] org.
