WAMM COMMITTEE

End Domestic Militarism/Tackling Torture at the Top

This committee will focus on issues surrounding militarism in the United States--from our militarized police forces to ROTC programs to ICE detention centers.

American governance relies on a force- and violence-based system of control. We reject this top-down, repressive system of governance and look to find alternative, community-based solutions to community safety.

WAMM COMMITTEE

Tackling Torture at the Top

Tackling Torture at the Top (T3) is a committee of WAMM and a group of women and men who work to expose complicity in torture by our country’s decision-makers, and to hold people to account for that complicity so that it does not continue.

Furthermore, T3 works to expose the social and political structure that allowed and continues to allow these atrocities to occur. Lastly, T3 strives to induce justice and human rights where none exists. The committee was founded in 2004.

“The Love of one’s country is a splendid thing. But why should love stop at the border?”

For Armistice Day, the Minneapolis Tackling Torture at the Top (T3) committee hosted a discussion at First Unitarian Church to discuss the state of the US corporate Empire. Panelists include former Bush aid and chief of staff Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson, Reverend Chris Antal (former army chaplain in Afghanistan), and MintPress editor Mnar A.
