Join us for the first in a series of conversations exploring the intersection of the military, our democracy, world peace, and the climate crisis; hosted by Third Act Union, Veterans for Peace, About Face, and Labor and Veterans for Sensible Priorities.

Date: January 20th

Time: 7:30pm Eastern, 4:30pm Pacific

Veterans and active-duty military personnel are part of the broad democratic resistance to Trump. How can we support them?

  • How do veterans and active-duty personnel deal with the challenges of being ordered to American cities to police residents and to murder alleged drug runners?
  • Trump has now started a war with Venezuela, and threatens Mexico, Colombia, and Cuba. How do we in Third Act deal with the "existential" relationship between climate and democracy and Trump’s wars and militarism?
  • How can non-military allies and organizations support troops who might be given illegal orders?

If you are a veteran Third Actor and want to help with these conversations, please contact us at union@thirdact.org.
