This important forum will draw on the expertise and personal experiences of the speakers to consider some overlooked consequences of that choice and implications for the present. Guest Speakers: Danny Sjursen is a retired US Army Major from Staten Island, who has served combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq and who has become a leading critic of the “forever wars.” Nancy Hollander is a distinguished criminal defense attorney, who represented Guantanamo prisoner Mohamedou Ould Slahi and other politically persecuted individuals, including Chelsea Manning. Moderator: Carolyn “Rusti” Eisenberg, Co-founder, Brooklyn For Peace; Professor of US History and American Foreign Policy, Hofstra University Where do we go from here? Discussion will follow the presentations. https://actionnetwork.org/events/from-911-to-today-what-have-we-learned
