No matter how dismal the outcomes may be, every US presidential election is
made consequential by our prolonged crises of environment, economy, and
peace...

In a surreal political climate where corporations are endowed with the
rights of people and people are stripped of the their rights, three
distinguished activist thinkers and scholars come together to help us think
through the election results and how we should be responding.

Noam Chomsky, renowned linguist and political philosopher, Vijay Prashad,
the incisive commentator and analyst of global politics and chronicler of
the "Darker Nations," join Sam Christiansen, World History scholar in an
evening of conversation and reflection at the Old South Church (

"Unpeoples" is term from scholar Mark Curtis's (2008) analysis of foreign
policy, "Unpeople – those whose lives are deemed worthless, expendable in
the pursuit of power and commercial gain."
