A Foreign Policy for All Re-Thinking U.S. Foreign Policy for the 21st Century Saturday November 8, 2014, 9:00 am to 5:00 pm MIT Room 34-101 • 50 Vassar St • Cambridge • Kendall T Confirmed Speakers Noam Chomsky, MIT Institute Professor, author, Profit Over People: Neoliberalism and Global Order Bill Fletcher, former president, Trans Africa Forum; author, They’re Bankrupting Us!

After years of war in Iraq and Afghanistan, with their terrible toll of death and destruction, we are fighting again in the Middle East.  But growing numbers of Americans are debating the values and goals of U.S. foreign policy, with its heavy reliance on military intervention.  Why has it been so unsuccessful? What is the appropriate role for our nation in today’s world?  How does our investment in a gigantic, costly military establishment affect our foreign policy decisions? In this one-day conference, to be held immediately after the midterm election, we will attempt to outline a more positive vision of U.S. global engagement, one that addresses the actual security needs of people around the world and that is consistent with the principles of peace and justice for all.   We will also explore the actions needed to make the changes we seek, to shift the discussion.The discussion will respond to a draft paper prepared by a working group. Read a summary of the Foreign Policy for All project.   Contact us at info@masspeaceaction.org; your ideas for workshop topics or other ways you can help are welcome!
