Join a conversation featuring Adam Weinstein, Anatol Lieven, and Lora Lumpe

Dear —

Thank you for your support of our work at the Quincy Institute.

I am writing to invite you to a briefing on America’s withdrawal from the Afghan war with two of our experts who have been in the thick of the policy and media debates — Adam Weinstein, who served as a Marine in Afghanistan in 2012, and Anatol Lieven, who was a journalist focused on Afghanistan and Pakistan for 13 years. The briefing will take place this Friday, Sept 3 from 2-3 pm ET.

We will address why it was so difficult for Washington to end the war, as well as our role in advocating for the U.S. to leave and for the evacuation of former interpreters and human rights activists.

We hope you can join us for this private virtual briefing, where we will be glad to answer your questions.

Please RSVP to [email protected] for the Zoom link if you are able to join us.

I hope to see you, and I thank you for your support!
Best wishes,

Lora Lumpe
CEO of the Quincy Institute
