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?
