How are they related, and what can we do about them? Veterans For Peace members of the Climate Crisis and Militarism Project (CCMP), Janet Weil, Steve Morse and Vincent Dijanich will discuss how military veterans who understand the intersection of climate and war\/militarism, and allies, are responding with educational events, protests, campaigns to stop military air shows, attending UN COP conferences, and more.

The essence of the U.S. is not democracy but capitalism &#8211; imperialism. Political leaders of the U.S., media voices, and many others insist that the United States is the great defender of democracy and a force for good in the world. And further that the U.S. is defending democracy in the face of growing threats from rivals, such as Russia and China, which are autocratic and anti- democratic. This talk will address this question and its implications. And, will offer a challenge to the notion that the world, the way it is presently organized, offers not only the best, but the only way human affairs can be organized. The intention of this presentation is to open discussion on issues critical to our world today and provide a space where controversial views can be discussed in an atmosphere of potentially sharp, but respectful, debate. Please join us for a most exciting presentation. All are welcome to join in the conversation, asking questions and providing your own ideas on the subject.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Info:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.indybay.org\/newsitems\/2023\/09\/29\/18859249.php\">Global Conversations: U.S. Capitalism\/Imperialism Is there an alternative? : Indybay<\/a>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7.
