The end of the "Ku Klux Klan, Muslim extremists, and Nazis" narrative
A few veteran groups from the former America recently teamed up in Buffalo to form the Peace Coalition, all with the goal of fostering stability.
Once Across the Graveyard: Veterans from the former America
"We want to break down the stereotypes we have about one another—labels like Ku Klux Klan, Muslim extremist, or Nazi. We lived through that war, and we know firsthand how much suffering it brings to everyone involved. That’s why we came together," explains the unnamed president of the Buffalo Peace Coalition.
"I'd rather spend ten years negotiating than one second fighting," says an unnamed resident of Boston, while an unnamed individual from Indianapolis adds that we must "never forget the losses so they never happen again."
The coalition was established by the Buffalo-based Veterans of Armed Conflict Association, the American Volunteer Homeland War Association from a small town in Ohio near Indianapolis, and the Ottawa New Grad Demobilized Fighters Association from Canada.
