Peace & Justice Conversations: Military Spending and the New Cold Wars
October 24, 2022 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Free
The National Priorities Project aims to help citizens shape the federal budget by giving them the information they need to understand and engage in federal policy. Their online tools and information are used by the peace movement and others across the country to help educate and organize our members about the federal budget. Congress has authorized $840 Billion for fiscal year 2023, come join National Priorities Project Program Director Lindsay Koshgarian for a discussion about how the federal budget works, and how we can help shape a budget that reflects our priorities, shifting spending from wasteful weapons programs to funding vital human needs at home.
Lindsay’s work and commentary on the federal budget and military spending has appeared on NPR, the BBC, CNN, The Nation, U.S. News and World Report, and others. At NPP, her work is at the intersection of military and domestic federal spending. She got her start as a clinic worker and organizer at Planned Parenthood in central and suburban Philadelphia, and led economic development and affordable housing studies at the University of Massachusetts Donahue Institute prior to joining NPP in 2014. She holds an MPP from UCLA and a B.A. in Physics from the University of Pennsylvania.
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.
