[ [link removed]- ]Sign the petition to rename military bases named after confederate leaders

Dear PFAW Member,

American military history is full of people who have put their lives on
the line to defend the United States and everyone who lives here. To
memorialize leaders of the Confederacy who fought to maintain slavery is
to unquestioningly uphold white supremacy and is disrespectful to all
those who have fought for our country.

[ [link removed]- ]Add your name to the petition supporting the measure in the National
Defense Authorization Act that will require that military bases named for
Confederate generals be renamed! >>

Confederate monuments, including the naming of military bases after those
who willingly served in the Confederate military, rewrites the history of
the Civil War – the Confederacy tried to divide and dissolve the nation,
it was an insurrection based on maintaining slavery and the Confederates
LOST.

Keeping the name of Confederate leaders on military bases upholds white
supremacy and fails to address the shameful legacy of the Confederacy.
This policy has already passed out of the Republican-controlled Senate
Armed Services Committee and has broad bipartisan support.

[ [link removed]- ]Sign the petition urging your members of Congress to support the
measure that will require these bases, including Fort Bragg, Fort Hood,
and Fort Lee, to be renamed! >>

Thank you for your advocacy. Wishing you and your family health and
safety!

In community,

Charlie, PFAW
