 Are you a young person between 13 and 25 years old who is interested in taking action around preventing gun violence? Learn more about the different ways you can engage.

28] –MAPA [info@masspeaceaction.org] on Wed., Nov. 20 at 7 PM ET is hosting Where Are We Now and What Does it Mean for Our Movements?  Join Joseph Gerson for a post-election discussion featuring speakers Kevin Martin, Rev. Dr. Liz Theoharis, and Harris Gruman. By hewing too closely to the unpopular Biden and his policies, combined with the forces of lost cause white supremacy, oligarch’s money and heartless ambitions, economic uncertainty, and misogyny Trump’s and Project 2025’s agendas will be coming hard at us. Yet, as Tom Nichols wrote in the immediate aftermath of the calamitous vote, “Democracy is not over…We have work to do.”

What are the implications for immigrants, for the world disorder and the wars in the Middle East and Ukraine, and for our economy? This event is sponsored by Campaign for Peace, Disarmament and Common Security.
