SUMMARY:Divest from Militarism\, Invest in Life! A conversation about war and climate change
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, January 10\, 2024\, at 11:00 am\, Online event\, click here to register \nOrganized by 350 US\, Sponsored by WAMM EMMAE Committee \nDid you know that militarism and war are devastating drivers of climate chaos? \nSprawling militaries — like the United States’ massive network of bases around the globe — are enormous sources of fossil fuel emissions. In fact\, the U.S. military alone emits more than Portugal and Denmark.1 \nPlus\, while war rages\, it reduces the international community’s cooperation to tackle the climate crisis and takes resources away from investments needed to address the impacts of climate change as countries double down on military spending. \nAs we start the year with multiple wars happening around the world and an already escalating climate crisis\, these intertwined issues are more urgent than ever. \nThat’s why 350 is hosting a conversation about militarism and the climate crisis on Wednesday\, January 10 at 11 am CST. We invite you to join us to learn why we\, as climate activists\, must fight for a world without war. \n\nDespite its huge impact\, militarism is too often left out of the conversation and organizing within our climate movement — and it’s time to change that. \nModerated by Dharna Noor\, who recently covered the urgent call by climate activists to divert military spending to fund climate aid in The Guardian\,2 this essential conversation will feature: \n\nDr. Neta Crawford\, Costs of War Project\nRamón Mejia\, About Face & Grassroots Global Justice Alliance\nAshley LaMont\, Honor the Earth\nZaki Mamdoo\, [./#NOP]350.org

SUMMARY:Bosnia and “Humanitarian Intervention”: The First US/NATO War\, a talk by Michael Livingston
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, December 2\, 2023\, 3:00 pm\, May Day Books – 301 Cedar Ave South\, Minneapolis \nWhile the most recent US/NATO war is fought in Ukraine\, the brutal civil war that ripped apart Bosnia from 1992 to 1995\, ended in the first US/NATO war\, part of a larger dismemberment of Yugoslavia by the US and its key capitalist allies in Europe. NATO’s involvement was purportedly based on the need for humanitarian intervention. \nThis talk explores the background of the war in Bosnia\, and how the destruction of Yugoslavia was created by the Western powers\, the same Western powers who then justified intervention on humanitarian grounds: the need to stop the killing that they themselves had started and fueled. \nBased on the speaker’s research during a 2023 study inside Bosnia\, the talk focuses on current conditions in Bosnia\, the causes and development of the civil war\, and the destruction of the former Yugoslavia\, as well as the education system of Bosnia (the “two schools under one roof” system of segregated education)\, the language divorce (the efforts to create separate languages out of a single language)\, and the state of post-civil war society. \nSponsored by May Day Books. Endorsed by Vets for Peace Chapter 27 and Women Against Military Madness (WAMM) End War committee. \nAbout the Speaker: Michael Livingston has been active in the Peace and Antiwar Movement for over 40 years\, first becoming active in the Central American Movement of the 1980s. He is currently a professor of psychology and holds a Ph.D. in Child Psychology. FFI: email mlivingston@csbsju.edu or call 612.619.7817
