Shut down unprovoked American aggression
Invest in peace, people and planet Earth,
Notes from Organizers...
Last night we had a very successful second national conference call for the Spring Actions Against the Wars at Home and Abroad.
Besides reports on how the actions are building around the country, we had a good discussion about outreach and building... Some of the ideas are below.
If you don’t have experience with Facebook and would like help with creating a Facebook event,
please send an email to springaction2018@gmail.com and we can help you create it.
YouTube
Here's are some anti war episodes: Country in Perpetual War Shocked at School Shootings: https://youtu.be/Gwsd_hX7VJk
NSA Reveals why US is in Syria: https://youtu.be/Ne4xZY02-1Y
Tim Black TV: Tim Black is another lefty YouTuber with an anti-war perspective, he's also a Black progressive. He's based out of Baltimore. He has over 100,00 subscribers.
His show: https://www.youtube.com/user/TimsTakeLive
An anti-war episode:
Our Bloated Military Budget is a Major Problem:
. Jamarl Thomas: Jamarl is another Black progressive YouTube personality. He has a smaller following of about 7,000 but he's also anti-war. While I don't know if he did a segment on it, he was at the last UNAC gathering in Richmond, I bumped into him there.

An anti-war episode:
Horrific Consequences of Our Actions in Libya:
Journalists
I love Caitlin Johnstone who is an Australian who writes almost exclusively about US foreign policy. For the sake of transparency I will say she is a bit of a lightning rod on the left, she in the past has suggested a right-left alliance on mutual issues, in this case anti-war issues. I personally am not fond of it but for it she tends to occasionally get excoriated on the left but she's a solid lefty, very solidly anti-war; could perhaps he helpful in getting the word out.

An anti war piece on the Iraq War:
On the Fifteenth Anniversary of the Iraq War: Make the World Remember Its Lessons
Radio
In terms of radio, Ralph Poynter and Betty Davis have a podcast they do every Tuesday covering Black issues, anti imperialism and anti-capitalism, they would likely be interested too. They're based in NYC. Here's their radio: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/humanrightsdemand
Lastly Radio Sputnik has 2 programs that cover anti-war issues and are based out of DC:
By Any Means Necessary. Hosts are Eugene Puryear and Sean Blackmon. Eugene was the Vice Presidential candidate of the Party for Socialism & Liberation. Their program: https://sputniknews.com/radio_by_any_means/
Loud And Clear. Hosts are Brian Becker and John Kariakou. Brian Becker is also with the Party for Socialism & Liberation and John is a CIA whistleblower. Their program: https://sputniknews.com/radio_loud_and_clear/
the Katie Halper Show should be added to the list:
https://www.wbai.org/program.php?program=214
Also Ralph Nader' s podcast:
Also Cindy Sheehan's podcast:
