YouTube Description
as posted by the channel“I joined the military at 19 because it was my only way out of poverty.”
Demi Palecek, an active duty National Guardsmen and member of @vetsaboutface, urges those to "honor the fallen" on Memorial Day by rejecting endless cycles of war and saying "No" to Trump's anti-immigrant agenda.
Palecek has continued to protest wars and ICE terror despite facing repercussions from National Guard leadership, and she encourages other active duty soldiers to resist and speak against illegal orders.
Palecek spoke at today’s annual Memorial Day anti-war action in Chicago.
