Peace and justice organizations, community based groups and Occupy are preparing
to challenge militarism and austerity when the leaders of the NATO and G-8
nations meet in Chicago this May.  Join us to learn what NATO and the G-8 have
to do with the world’s wars, economic crises, and making the world safe for
the 1%.

18.

Elaine Bernard is executive director of the Labor and Worklife Program at the
Harvard Law School and a Vice Chair of the Democratic Socialists of America.

Chicago. His most recent book is Empire and the Bomb: How the U.S. Uses Nuclear

A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense
than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death… …Our only
hope today lies in our ability to recapture the revolutionary spirit and go out
into a sometimes hostile world declaring eternal hostility to poverty, racism,
and militarism. –Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. “Beyond Vietnam,” April 4,
1967.
