Rich Whitney presents: Making America Care Again: Why Americans Should Oppose War.
War is “out of sight, out of mind” to most Americans most of the time. Yet, day after day, the U.S. government is murdering people abroad while depriving our communities of badly needed resources at home. This presentation by peace activist Rich Whitney cuts through the disinformation about U.S. foreign policy that trivializes war. It will remind viewers of the horrific consequences of war abroad and at home, the illegality of war, the real economic drivers of war– and the crucial importance of engaging in a renewed struggle against war and the system that perpetuates it.
