Conference Call: National Guard Readiness

May 17, 2007

2:00 PM - 3:00 PM

As detailed in our Stateside Dispatch, extended deployments in Iraq and Afghanistan have critically weakened the National Guard’s ability to respond to emergencies at home and fulfill the domestic duties that they are relied on by state governments to perform.

The Progressive States Network will be hosting a conference call this Thursday to discuss the need to prevent the over-extension of the National Guard and what actions states can take. Please RSVP using the link below.
