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.

Facilitator: Duncan McFarland, United for Justice with Peace, mcfarland13@gmail.com.

More information on the ROC Summer Institute:
Supporters of the Radical Organizing Conference (ROC) are pleased to announce the ROC Summer Institute. Since 2003, there have been four ROCs. At each one, participants have talked about how we can do our work in a way that brings about radical change (gets to the root cause of problems). In that spirit, the ROC Summer Institute will offer short courses that allow participants to think even more deeply about the "big picture: and learn new skills as they continue their practical work for justice. Please join us for one (or more!) of these exciting workshops.
