The conflict in Afghanistan/Pakistan continues to worsen. The US has sent more troops; there is increased fighting, violence, death and destruction; and a major new war may be coming. The escalation of the war occurs in the midst of a severe economic recession and puts even more spending into a huge military budget. We must organize to stop this war, end militarism and put the priority on funding social justice and improving the quality of life in our communities. This particpatory workshop will present some basic information about the war in Afghanistan/Pakistan and cutting the military budget. We will discuss things we can do to help set things right.
