Today is Veteran's Day. As the world watches the transition of the U.S. election in limbo, intersectional global feminist movements know that we can't merely be spectators. While the incumbent Biden-Harris administration offers us a window to fight FOR the policies we believe
in, we have no illusions that the military industrial complex of the U.S. will unravel without a grounded global feminist analysis for transformative justice. Join our webinar today to learn about an exciting new feminist peace initiative. Register here. We clearly sense the urgency to advocate boldly for the feminist policies we believe in. Why? Today, on Veteran's Day, we learned that one-third of Biden's transition team gets money from the weapons industry. “Has Biden already forgotten who put him in the position he’s in?” said Ramón Mejía, GGJ's anti-militarism national organizer. “War-making and corporate profiteering is a non-starter. We must divest the bulk of our budget from a war-fueling extractive economy, and prioritize investing in a life-sustaining regenerative economy." Touché. This evening, you will hear from five brilliant and unwavering feminist
voices who will share their vision of an exciting new Feminist Peace Initiative and how the Biden-Harris administration has an opportunity to divest from the destructive military machine and reinvest in education, a feminist regenerative economy and healthcare for all. You will hear from GGJ's Executive Director, Cindy Wiesner, Christine Ahn, Medea Benjamin, Diana Duarte and Gloria Steinem. Register here.
