Attendees of this webinar will hear Matthew Hoh discuss the military, economic and political state of the Ukraine War as it nears its 4th anniversary.  He will discuss the ongoing negotiations to end the Ukraine War and why ending the war is an imperative for all sides. He will summarize the current military, economic and political realities for Ukraine and Russia, as well as Europe and the US, and provide his thoughts on what a successful negotiated settlement may look like. He will also discuss the potential consequences if a political settlement to the war is not reached and it continues into its fifth year. Finally, he will discuss the dangers that will continue even if there is a peace agreement and why demilitarization and a renewed effort to rebuild a wrecked United Nations system are urgently needed.

Matthew Hoh is a disabled Marine Corps veteran of the Iraq War and former Afghan War State Department Officer. In 2009, after being appointed to the Foreign Service, Hoh resigned his post in Afghanistan over the Obama administration’s escalation of the Afghan War. He is now an analyst and commentator on foreign and military policy issues as a senior fellow with the Eisenhower Media Network. He serves on the advisory boards of many peace organizations, including Veterans for Peace and World Beyond War, and is an associate member of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity.

At this critical time, when climate change and war are devastating the planet and causing tremendous suffering, the current political climate is taking everything in the wrong direction. The system of endless growth and accumulation of wealth in fewer and fewer hands at the expense of everyone else and the earth cannot be sustained. How can we do more than hold back the most extreme antidemocratic and environmentally destructive measures and work together to realize a common vision of a livable world? Speakers Harrris Gruman, Juan Jose De Blas and Anna Prouty will address how we can transition from the current disaster/militarist economy to a peace, climate, and justice-oriented care and degrowth economy. They will lay out some of the principles and benefits of a care economy and degrowth and talk about practical steps we can take here in the US to bring about the world we want to see.

Join CODEPINK and the Community Alliance for Peace and Justice for a special two-part webinar series to deepen awareness and analysis of the current situation in Pakistan. As the current U.S. administration moves toward renewed political engagement with Pakistan, many are seeking a clearer understanding of how these shifts impact democracy and civil society, with special reference to the role of the military’s crackdown on political dissent. (Second webinar details to be confirmed soon!)

• Historically, how has U.S. policy sustained and legitimized authoritarian rule in Pakistan?
• Why is the Trump administration actively courting Pakistan’s army chief at this moment?
• What are the consequences of renewed U.S.–military ties for Pakistan’s democratic movements, journalists, and civil society today?

Hosted by members of CODEPINK and CAPJ, this webinar will include a guided discussion with our speakers, followed by a Q+A.

in collaboration with SacACT, Sac Climate Coalition and California Public Banking Alliance.

The event will be held at the Parkside Community Church: 5700 S Land Park Dr, Sacramento, CA 95822.  Doors will open at 5:30 PM, with live music, snacks and beverages, and a chance to build community.   The program will begin at 6:30 PM and conclude at 8:00 PM.

Our nation and world are in a period of continuing danger and difficulty: The recently passed Pentagon budget is higher than ever and is funding a new generation of nuclear weapons; The tragic Israel/Gaza Conflict continues; The Russia/Ukraine conflict remains a source of increased danger of nuclear war;  The attacks on Venezuela opens a new front of “forever wars”. The egregious costs of the weapons buildups is draining our tax dollars from critical civilian needs, among which are K-12 public schools and higher education. This Conference continues the tradition of trying to increase cooperation and collaboration among those advocating for nuclear disarmament and social and economic justice.

Join Author, Jeremy Varon, in conversation with CODEPINK Co-Founders, Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans to discuss the Jeremy's book, Our Grief Is Not a Cry for War. 

An original history of the popular movement against the War on Terror—the greatest case of “we told you so” in modern political history.
 
Just after 9/11, President George W. Bush climbed the rubble where the World Trade Center had stood. Surrounded by shouts of anger, he said, “The people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!” With these words, Bush ushered in the War on Terror. Quickly, a global protest movement mobilized against it, reshaping the political, moral, and media landscape.
RSVP for a discounted co y of the book!
