Tonight! Join the Discussion on the War Economy!
 | ||||
TODAY, Sunday, November 5th
Last year Veterans For Peace joined with the Poor People’s Campaign (PPC). The original PPC was launched in 1967 by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. This new campaign is addressing the triple evils described by Dr. King; militarism, poverty and bigotry. It is also taking on ecological devastation.
Today, Veterans For Peace member Matthew Hoh will join Bishop William J. Barber II and Jonathan Wilson-Hartgrove at The Gathering to discuss the War Economy.
 When: Sunday, November 5th, 6 p.m. (EST) Where: ONLINE or Raleigh, North Carolina The United States spends more money on war than on programs to house, feed, provide health care for the people. Although we call our veterans the nation’s heroes, we fail to provide them and their families with adequate pay, quality health care, and other needed supports to prepare and return from war.
As people of conscience, we denounce war-mongering and efforts to create more conflict and division within and between nations, and demand that our legislators support programs that combat this resource inequality and instead promote the life and livelihood of all human beings.
You can attend in person if you are in Raleigh, North Carolina, or you can watch the livestream!
When you watch:
The campaign provides you and VFP a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of issues with activists to push our nation towards positive change. As Dr. King put it, “We as a nation must undergo a radical revolution of values."
