Medea Benjamin: Taking on the Military Industrial Complex

Come hear one of the U.S.’ most prominent war analysts, anti-war speakers, and activists give us insight into ongoing U.S. wars and what we can do about them. Medea will focus in CODEPINK’s new strategy for stopping these wars focused on divestment from war contractors and the financial institutions that back them.

This will also be the official “Launch” of the Massachusetts Raytheon anti-war campaign. Hear about our new strategy to oppose the Saudi-U.S. war in Yemen and U.S./Saudi/Israeli sanctions and threats of war against Iran. Raytheon is the largest war contractor in Massachusetts which provides various forms of critical support to the Saudi military – including the weapons and bombs inflicting a catastrophe on Yemen and its people.
