Militarization feeds into much more of the world around us than we realize, from police on the streets to immigration policy to the climate crisis crashing down around us.

Join United We Dream, Institute for Policy Studies, UndocuBlack Network, Dissenters, Sunrise Movement, and the ACLU of Texas Border Rights Center for a timely cross-movement conversation about demilitarization and community investment. To achieve true security for our communities, we must defund militarism, reclaim our resources, and invest in the public services and institutions that strengthen our communities and keep us safe.

Participants:

• Juliana Macedo do Nascimento – United We Dream
• Lorah Steichen – Institute for Policy Studies
• Haddy Gassama J.D. – UndocuBlack Network
• Sidney Miralao – Dissenters
• Angel Ulloa – Sunrise Movement, El Paso
• Cynthia Pompa – ACLU of Texas Border Rights Center

Tune into the discussion live on Facebook this Wednesday at 7pm ET / 4pm PT to learn more and contribute to this critical conversation!
