In person<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oakland Library \u2013 Temescal Branch

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has sparked a war that has raged for months. As the US and Russia vie for supremacy in the conflcit, this war could drag on for years. Every week there is another provocation and the US has already pledged over $50 billion to prolong this war, at a time of global economic crisis where people here and across the globe are facing rising costs of fuel and food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than fight for the well-being of average Americans, this government chooses to line the pockets of weapon manufacturers and look out for their own geopolitical and military interests. In this panel we ask: What are the implications of the Ukraine War on the world and the working class, and what can working people of the US do to turn this tide of death and destruction?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Panelist:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dayton Andrews: Organizer and activist of United Against War and Militarism<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xinghe Pan: Organizer and activist of United Against War and Militarism<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aaron Wright: member of the ILWU Local 10<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Steve Zeltzer: a member of United Front Committee for a Labor Party, Producer of WorkWeek Radio<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Host: United Against War and Militarism<\/p>\n\n\n\n
