As terrible wars continue in Ukraine, Gaza, and elsewhere, those of us trying to stop them are up against a powerful military-industrial-media complex in the United States. No matter how much coverage of war comes through mainstream news outlets, the human realities of war are scarcely conveyed. We face the continuing challenge to break through the fog of war propaganda and indifference to effectively challenge the abstractions and evasions that undergird the warfare state here at home.
On April 2nd, the RootsAction Education Fund, working with the Oregon organizations listed below, is offering a live online presentation – “Make War Visible … and End It” – to antiwar and social justice activists. Journalist and activist Norman Solomon — author most recently of the 2023 book War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military Machine — will speak via Zoom about the latest war-related events and approaches for understanding— as well as organizing against – what Martin Luther King Jr. called “the madness of militarism.”
Norman will be joined by journalist/activist Kathy Kelly who also serves as Board President of World Beyond War.
