Iraq Veterans Against the War, has initiated conversations across the country through our Drop the MIC campaign that have focused on the root cause that underlines both the occupations by U.S. military abroad and the violence perpetrated in our communities by police right here at home: militarism. Drop the MIC aims to make visible the many ways, both obvious and hidden, that the military industrial complex intersects our lives and our ability to care for ourselves and our communities.*

The Movement for Black Lives policy platform outlines the need and the strategy to divest in the structures that are robbing black people of their lives and invest in what communities need to thrive. “While this platform is focused on domestic policies, we know that patriarchy, exploitative capitalism, militarism, and white supremacy know no borders.”

Let’s talk together about the real effects of militarism on our local communities, our society and abroad.

Speakers:

Maggie Martin and Matt Howard, Iraq Veterans Against the War

Karlene Griffiths Sekou, Black Lives Matter Boston

Mike Prokosch, Dorchester People for Peace
