After vigorous debate and discussions with journalists and aid-workers in Afghanistan, and upon an overwhelming vote of the membership, Military Families Speak Out has adopted a new mission statement expands its current mission by urging the United States to quickly end the war in Afghanistan:

“The United States should end the military occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan, bring our troops home now, and take care of them when they get here. The US should also end the policies of preventive and preemptive wars of aggression that allowed the Iraq war to happen.”
