Working for Peace After the Elections

No matter what happens with the November elections, the peace movement will have a lot of organizing to do. Kevin Martin, President of Peace Action and the Peace Action Education Fund, will join us with a post-election analysis to discuss our work for peace moving forward given the situation that is unfolding.

Kevin plans to talk with us about the urgent and timely work on Gaza, and the impressive grassroots organizing going on across the country and about the larger peace/disarmament agenda. Then, he will focus on the idea of building "Blue Oases:" resilient communities to protect the most vulnerable that will face MAGA attacks. Let's find ways to Undespair, and then Empower, the People!

Kevin Martin joined the Peace Action staff on Sept 4, 2001. Kevin previously served as Director of Project Abolition, a national organizing effort for nuclear disarmament, after ten years in Chicago as Executive Director of Illinois Peace Action. Prior to his decade-long stint in Chicago, Kevin directed the community outreach canvass for Peace Action (then called Sane/Freeze) in Washington, D.C. Kevin has traveled abroad representing Peace Action and the U.S. peace movement on delegations and at conferences in Russia, Japan, China, Mexico, Britain, Germany and France. He is currently convening a national CeaseFire Now Grassroots Network focused on ending the genocide in Gaza.
