SUMMARY:When Truth Becomes the Enemy: Voices from Jenin
DESCRIPTION:A Community Gathering with Mariam Barghouti\, Ashira Darwish & Rawand Arqawi \nJoin SAND for a pressing conversation amongst three remarkable women who bring crucial perspectives from Jenin’s ongoing tragedy\, in the context of escalated violence in the West Bank and the genocide in Gaza. Palestinian journalist Mariam Barghouti and Jenin resident Rwanda Arqawi share their firsthand experiences\, cutting through the fog of misinformation to reveal the human realities often obscured in Western mainstream narratives. \nAt a time when documenting truth has become increasingly dangerous\, these voices from the ground illuminate not only Israel’s violence in Jenin\, but also the danger of bearing witness to it. Israel has killed more journalists in Palestine than died in any other conflict over the past three decades. Via personal stories and professional insights\, our speakers highlight the impact of ongoing Israeli military operations\, the resilience of Palestinians in Jenin and throughout the region\, and the critical importance of preserving and sharing truth in the face of systemic erasure. \nJoin us in community for this timely discussion about the power of testimony\, the cost of silence\, and the need to amplify voices from the ground. \nThere is a suggested donation of $25 for this event. \nProceeds from this community gathering will go to training young people in Jenin on photography and film production\, as well as purchasing video equipment (cameras\, audio\, computers and lighting). \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Book Talk – Illusions of Control: Dilemmas in Managing U.S. Proxy Forces in Afghanistan\, Iraq\, and Syria
DESCRIPTION:Since the start of the U.S. war on terror\, the United States has backed various militias and rebels in the Middle East and Central Asia. Using proxies has allowed the U.S. to reduce its own troop deployments and benefit from the local knowledge of indigenous armed groups. However\, these partnerships carry significant diplomatic\, human rights\, reputational\, and tactical risks. Gaston’s book explores case studies of these relationships in Afghanistan\, Iraq\, and Syria\, examining how U.S. policymakers manage these risks. Has support for proxies been a success\, failure\, or something in between? Can proxies truly be managed? And are the risks worth the potential benefits? \nJoin a discussion with Erica Gaston\, Head of the Conflict Prevention and Sustaining Peace Programme at the United Nations University Centre for Policy Research\, that delves into the murky world of U.S. proxy forces in the War on Terror. Adam Weinstein\, Deputy Middle East Director at the Quincy Institute\, will speak with the author. \nThe discussion will take place on Thursday\, August 15th from 12:00 – 1:00 PM Eastern Time. \nRegister with the Quincy Institute

SUMMARY:Emergency Forum with Israeli Conscientious Objector Yuval Dag
DESCRIPTION:On March 20\, 2023\, Yuval Dag refused his military conscription and was sent by an Israeli military court to prison. \nAfter growing up with a nationalist identity\, Yuval began to question his privilege and how it was maintained through the oppression of Palestinians. “Resistance begins\, first of all\, with self-reflection and understanding. With the understanding that by wearing a uniform and symbols of a certain body\, you choose to represent that body. With the understanding that enlisting in the army is a political choice\, and its meaning is to support the military and political agenda\, and to take part in it. The understanding that even a small cog contributes to the system’s function.” \nYuval decided that he could not in good conscientious accept his military conscription. He spent two months in prison for his refusal to serve and today works with the Israeli Refusers Solidarity Network to support other Israeli Jewish Refusniks. \nJoin us for an urgent and important conversation with Yuval hosted by Ariel Gold of Fellowship of Reconciliation and Diana Oestrich of Red Letter Christians. \ \nRegister for this Zoom Event here.

SUMMARY:First We Bombed New Mexico: Free Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:From May 17 to 19\, a special screening of a new documentary\, “First We Bombed New Mexico\,” will be available online. It tells the tragic story of the many “downwinders” whose health was adversely affected by the fallout from the July 1945 Trinity nuclear test and their betrayal by the U.S. government. \nIn particular\, thousands of New Mexicans—mostly Hispanic and Native American—were exposed to catastrophic levels of radioactive fallout\, never warned\, never acknowledged and never helped afterwards. \nYou can easily watch this film on your phone\, iPad\, laptop\, or desktop by registering here. \nAlongside this special screening is a panel discussion with the filmmakers and a bipartisan group of members of Congress who are fighting to address this wrong. \nThey are pushing legislation to expand and extend the Radiation Effects Compensation Act (RECA) to include Trinity downwinders and other communities. \nThis is an urgent and timely issue.  \nAs you may have read in Arms Control Today\, RECA will expire June 7\, 2024\, unless these advocates win Congressional approval to extend it.

SUMMARY:Make War Visible ... and End It
DESCRIPTION:Submitted by Oregon Peace Works \nAs 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. \nOn 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.” \nNorman will be joined by journalist/activist Kathy Kelly who also serves as Board President of World Beyond War. \nRegister here  \nFor more information please contact: \nDavid Zupan\, 541-525-6067\, zupandavid@gmail.com. \nhttp://warmadeinvisible.com/ \n
