Peace & Justice Conversations: Holding War Profiteers Accountable
March 11 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Free
The Merchants of Death War Crimes Tribunal launched on November 12, 2023. The Tribunal aims to hold accountable U.S. weapons manufacturers who knowingly produce and sell products which attack and kill non-combatants. These manufacturers may have committed Crimes Against Humanity and violated U.S. Federal criminal laws. Organized by Kathy Kelly, Nick Mottern and Brad Wolf, featuring testimony from Dr. Cornel West, Richard Falk, Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, Norman Solomon, John Pilger, Aisha Jumaan, Marie Dennis, Dr. Kelly Denton-Borhaug, and others. Kathy Kelly will join us to talk about the campaign.
Kathy Kelly, a peace activist and author, made over two dozen trips to Afghanistan from 2010 – 2019, living with young Afghan Peace Volunteers. She learned about conditions in Afghanistan through encounters with mothers and children. From 1996 – 2003, she traveled 27 times to Iraq, defying the economic sanctions and remaining in Iraq throughout the Shock and Awe bombing and the initial weeks of the invasion. Kathy has been an educator for most of her life, but she believes children of war and those who are victims of violence have been her most important teachers. She is board president of World BEYOND War and a co-coordinator of the Ban Killer Drones campaign.
About NHPA’s bi-weekly Zoom Peace & Justice Conversation Series: 2020’s upheavals brought us to a new moment of reckoning and possibility. How do we want to live in the world? What do we value? How can we make the changes we’ve been yearning for? NH Peace Action has been engaged in working for change for decades. We’d like to bring you into these conversations about issues and options for the future. There is no charge to attend, but your contributions in any amount are greatly appreciated.
