Guest Speaker: Christine Ahn , Executive Director of Women Cross DMZ

The need to dismantle US militarism cuts across all of our struggles, whether we're organizing for safe and affordable housing, a world without policing and imprisonment, the self determination of colonized peoples, or the future of life on this planet. While the infrastructure of militarism is vast and global, some key actors enabling warfare, occupation, and domination can be found right here in the Bay Area. The Anti-War Working Group offers this information to local and regional organizers who may be able to integrate it in their own work.

Fighting against militarism is crucial to ensuring the wellbeing of the planet and the people who inhabit it; incorporating anti-militarism into social justice struggles makes them even stronger. We hope that the "Dismantling Militarism in the Bay Area" target recommendation memos will make doing that easier.
