What happens after the 20th anniversary of 9/11 passes? What will we have learned from 9/11 and the 20 years of #EndlessWars that have followed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen, Somalia, Libya, Syria, and beyond? How do we move the United States away from war? An unusually diverse group of experts share their views. Bring questions. Join a conversation with IPS Fellow’ Phyllis Bennis and many others. Then act.

Panelists: Akbar Ahmed (“Thistle & the Drone” + “Journey into Islam”), Clare Bayard (Catalyst Project/Anti-war Activist), Phyllis Bennis (“Ending the US War in Afghanistan” + “Challenging Empire”), Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz (“An Indigenous People’s History of the United States”), Max Paul Friedman (“Rethinking Anti-Americanism”), Maha Hilal (Justice for Muslims Collective), Raed Jarrar (Democracy for the Arab World Now), Peter Kuznick (“The Untold History of the United States” w/ Oliver Stone), Laura Nader (“Plunder: When the Rule of Law is Illegal”), David Vine (“The United States of War”), Jenni Walkup (Costs of War Project), Col.
