Join antiwar activist and scholar Joan Roelofs to discuss the Military Industrial Complex at the ground level with CODEPINK national Co-Director Carley Towne.  

During this webinar, we’ll discuss important themes and questions including:

  • What impact does our military establishment have at the local level?
  • How much has the border between civilian and military activities been blurred?
  • Which side is advancing in the war between civilization and militarization?

Rooted in a network of local organizers, CodePink's tactics include satire, street theatre, creative visuals, civil resistance, and directly challenging powerful decision-makers in government and corporations. And, of course, wearing pink!
