Hi John,

What: Divest Arlington from the War Machine Forum
When: Saturday, November 23 at 5pm-7pm
Where: Busboys & Poets, 4251 S. Campbell Ave. Arlington, VA 22206 

Join CODEPINK, World BEYOND War, and Beyond the Bomb for a divestment forum on November 23rd at the Shirlington Busboys and Poets location. We’ll be hosting a talk about the steps needed to cut ties with the war economy and divest Arlington from war profiteers. This summer, World BEYOND War led a successful campaign to divest the city of Charlottesville from weapons and fossil fuels and now the county of Arlington is turning to Charlottesville for advice on how to divest.

Featured speakers include our very own Paki Wieland of CODEPINK, Andy Shallal of Busboys and Poets, Beyond the Bomb Executive Director Cecili Thompson Williams, and World BEYOND War Co-Founder David Swanson. Grassroots-led war divestment campaigns are springing up all over the world, from students organizing to divest university endowments from weapons manufacturers, to municipalities coming together to divest public pension funds from military contractors. Join us for a divestment forum on November 23rd to talk about the ABC's of starting up a divestment campaign in Arlington.

 Towards accountability,
Ariel, Clara, Leonardo, Medea, Michelle, Paki, Teri, Tighe, and the entire CODEPINK DC team
