This Panel will be recorded.

Join comrades for a panel on the nature of the war in Ukraine and on what stance socialists should take towards the conflict.

This panel comes out of the discussion at the December general membership meeting over the resolution, DSA Congress Members should Vote No on Escalating the Ukraine War: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1i2NdynJFVW0rPHvF4lyvgG0bRk9h9BdNOAzZhktO5Yg/edit

Two of the panelists are in favor of the stance taken in the resolution and two of the panelists are opposed. One of the opposed panelists will be from the Ukraine Solidarity Network.

The panel will include time for the audience to ask panelists questions. If you are looking for a chance to increase your knowledge of the issue, please join us.
