Brett Heinz, Global Policy Coordinator for Economic and Climate Justice, American Friends Service Committee (the Quakers), will speak to us about U.S. airstrikes in the Caribbean, the broader history of efforts to merge the War on Drugs with the War on Terror, and implications we need to be aware of for the Trump administration’s domestic militarization and threats to use the Insurrection Act to target U.S. cities militarily.
