Militarism, Islamophobia, and the Trump-Bannon-Pence Vision
Thursday June 29, 2017 6:00pm – 8:00pm
Westminster United Church of Christ, 417 S. Washington, Spokane, Washington
What does Militarism look like under President Trump? How does it connect to white supremacy, xenophobia, corporate exploitation, torture, Christian supremacy, patriarchy and far-right power? This presentation and discussion will connect the dots between militarism and other forms of oppression and violence as it relates to President Trump and White House Chief Strategist Stephen Bannon’s plans for war.
Free & open to the public!
Presented by PJALS.
