You're invited to join me on July
9 for a webinar on "Arms Trade 101 and Intersecting
Issues." Hosted by Campaign Against Arms
Trade (CAAT) UK, this webinar will explore how the
global arms trade intersects with other key issues of
our time, including racism, colonialism, climate
(in)justice, and militarised policing.
We will
start the event with poetry from Yemeni poet Amina Atiq,
based in Liverpool and move into our panel, chaired by
Demilitarise Education's Melina Villeneuve. Joining me
on the panel are Sham Murad ('A' is for Activism), Dr.
Nadine El-Enany (Birkbeck University), and Dr. Kojo
Koram (Birkbeck University).

War is a top cause of the erosion of
civil liberties, a top justification of government
secrecy, the basis for the militarization of local
police, a catalyst for racism and bigotry, a top creator
of refugees, and the reason humanity risks nuclear
apocalypse. Militarism is a top destroyer of the natural
environment, yet exempted from major environmental
standards. Just a small portion of the amount of money
spent on wars and militarism could end global hunger,
provide clean drinking water, housing, healthcare,
education, and a myriad of other needs. In sum, the
institution of war is stopping us from achieving the
just, peaceful, and green future that we want to see.
Join me on July 9 to talk about the
global arms trade and its multi-faceted impacts, and the
opportunities for intersectional organizing and
coalition-building that connects the dots between these
issues.
