The Anti-War Working Group will hold its next general meeting on Wednesday, March 2nd at 7PM. This will be both IN PERSON at the People's Forum in Manhattan AND on Zoom. If you're coming in person, join us at 6:45PM for some snacks and hellos!
Our meeting will feature a discussion of the Russian invasion of
Ukraine. We will be joined by two speakers who will provide short
presentations on the war. The first is David Klion, a contributor to
various left wing publications including Jewish Currents and The Nation.
Klion has written extensively on foreign policy and Russia over the years, and has
published recent essays on the deep history of the current war (one of
which is linked below). Our second speaker is Gerard of the DSA
International Committee. Gerard has helped draft statements on the
conflict on behalf of DSA, and has recently appeared on the
organization’s WBAI Radio Program “Revolutions Per Minute.”
Discussion questions and readings below (watch out for an official DSA statement between now and the general meeting as well):

anything to end the war in Ukraine or alleviate the suffering caused by
the war? What are the material risks of and moral dilemmas raised by
action or inaction?

affect DSA’s organizing in the United States? What, if anything, should
DSA do in response to this crisis?
