Making the Connections: Climate Crisis & U.S. Militarism
Saturday, February 29, 2019 10 a.m.
4200 Cedar Avenue, Minneapolis MN
A presentation by Sue Ann Martinson, A Q & A discussion follows. Refreshments. Free and open to the public.
Why is an understanding of Militarism necessary to address Climate Crisis and Environmental issues?
The Climate Crisis is the greatest threat facing humanity, and the U.S. military is responsible for the most egregious and widespread pollution of the planet, yet this information goes almost entirely unreported.
In our society and culture militarism touches us in endless ways, being intricately linked to the most important issues of our day: climate change, endless war, racism and more, as well as to the U.S. budget with the billions of dollars the U.S. spends to maintain a global empire.
Sponsored by the End War Committee of WAMM and Veterans for Peace Chapter 27.
Sue Ann Martinson has participated in antiwar/ propeace activity over the years with the Honeywell Project, Alliant Action, Veterans for Peace and as a long-time member of Women Against Military Madness. A writer and editor, her latest peace and justice activities center around publishing a blog, Rise Up Times, Media for Justice and Peace.
