For 18 years, American soldiers have fought in Afghanistan. Over 2,400 of those soldiers are now dead, alongside at least 38,000 Afghani civilians. And yet, there’s still no end in sight.

For 18 years, American soldiers have fought in Afghanistan. Over 2,400 of those soldiers are now dead, alongside at least 38,000 Afghani civilians. And yet, there’s still no end in sight.

Experts estimate that we’ve spent almost $6 trillion on wars in the Middle East since 2001 — and what do we have to show for it? Just more death and instability.

That $6 trillion could have been invested in new infrastructure, higher education, job programs for communities that have been left behind, broadband access, health care, and so much more.

No more. It’s time to end the war in Afghanistan, and solve this problem with strong diplomacy, not bombs. Sign your name to join our call »

Today, the Afghanistan war turns 18 years old — meaning that kids who were born after the war started can now fight in it. That’s a full generation of bloodshed, and we must end it together.

In solidarity,
