This march led to a new growing relationship between IVAW and AFP that is sparking a new antiwar movement led by the most impacted communities, veterans and Afghan civilians. Currently the Afghanistan Veterans Against the War Committee of IVAW is working with AFP on a joint statement for justice and reconciliation.
