DISASTERS, GEOPOLITICAL IMPLICATIONS, AND
PATHS TO GREATER PEACE & JUSTICE
WEBINAR -October 24th 2023, 7:00 - 8:00 P.M. EDT
Speakers: Anatol Lieven and Phyllis Bennis
Initially conceived as a webinar about the Ukraine War, its geopolitical impacts, and possibilities for peace, the similarly murderous and geopolitical earthquake of this October Gaza War has led us to change our title and format. Anatol Lieven, of the Quincy Institute, and Phyllis Bennis, of the Institute for Policy Studies, will update us on these wars’ development, diplomacy, increasingly interrelated geopolitical implications, and possible paths to greater peace and justice.
Please plan to join us. Spread the word as you can. And do all that you can for peace and justice,
