The G.I. Coffeehouse Movement

The G.I. Coffeehouse Support Network invites you to a NYC benefit in support of Coffee Strong (WA) and Under the Hood (TX), two vital spaces for community support and anti-war organizing among veterans and active duty soldiers at two key U.S. bases.

These bases send large numbers of service-members off to war, with many returning facing addiction and trauma. The benefit will include a reception and screening of the film Grounds for Resistance, a documentary about the work of Coffee Strong, followed by a discussion about how the modern-day G.I. Coffeehouse movement is responding to the crisis of U.S. militarism while helping to build an anti-war resistance movement led by U.S. military veterans and active duty service-members.

Sliding scale suggested donation of $10-$20 at the door. No one will be turned away due to lack of funds.
