Unmasking the Many Faces of Empire: Collective Anti-Militarism for the Long Haul

This March 19th will mark a decade since the beginning of the 2003 War on Iraq. While US troop presence in Iraq officially ended in 2011 and a prolonged withdrawal from Afghanistan has begun, the struggles for liberation are ongoing. War and militarism are more present today than ever, both in the Middle East and here in the US. Arab communities in the US face a growing domestic surveillance state and perpetuated anti-Arab/Anti-Muslim racism, people of color and the working class continue being recruit...ed into the military, targeted by law enforcement or fed into the prison-industrial-complex, private prison operators keep thousands of immigrants locked up in detention centers before deporting them, and drones have become the emblematic weapon of the Obama administration. Collective responses with a long-haul view are necessary for responding to the shapeshifting nature of militarism. • How do we build genuine ties of solidarity and harness the power of existing alliances representing the various communities impacted by militarism, while recognizing how our current system pits oppressed communities against each other? • How can we identify the various expressions of militarism in our local communities and mount united and effective efforts to resist them? • How can we target the root sources of militarism through our local campaigns? • What does a broad, inclusive, and proactive program for anti-militarism look like? Please join us as we explore these and other questions with a panel discussion featuring speakers from Arab Resource Organizing Center (AROC), Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), Critical Resistance (CR), and others. Suggested Donation of $5-$10 at the door. No one turned away for lack of funds. Sponsored by: Center for Political Education, Catalyst Project, Arab Resource Organizing Center (AROC), Iraq Veterans Against the War (IVAW), Critical Resistance (CR), and War Times/Tiempos de GuerraSee More
