Dear GGJ Comrades, GGJ is honored to be a part of the Feminist Peace Initiative, launched last year to center the leadership of the abolitionist and demilitarization grassroots movements that reimagines US foreign policy from endless warmongering to conscious diplomacy and peace. The Feminist Peace Initiative, led by Women Cross DMZ, MADRE and GGJ, also calls for a reparative approach to hold
US accountable for the 20-year occupation.
Please consider amplifying this much-needed conversation hosted by the Feminist Peace Initiative: “Grassroots Feminist Visions: A Way Forward from the War on Terror.” Click here to find a toolkit with sample tweets to share in your personal or organizational social media accounts.
After nearly 20 years of devastation inflicted on our communities, we must transform U.S. foreign policy away from militarism and toward a feminist understanding of interdependence, reparations, and
justice.
We invite you to join us in a discussion with leading feminists:

If you or your organization interested in cross posting our event on Facebook
LIVE, please add your organization name here by Friday, September 17 at noon. You can also share this event invitation in your networks. You can amplify on Twitter starting today through September 21. Our panelists will dialogue on creating a just foreign policy that would center reparations for communities and countries impacted by the U.S. “war on terror”
including Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, and North Korea. Together, we will examine the impact of this militarized policy on communities in these countries and ways to move this harmful policy towards peace and justice.
