57] – Lindsay Koshgarian [info@nationalpriorities.org] wants you to join a powerful discussion about 20 years of US militarized spending since 9/11, and how we can divest from militarism & reinvest in communities. This discussion No Weapons, Wars, or Walls will take place on Thurs., Nov. 4 at 5 PM ET. A new report from the National Priorities Project at the Institute for Policy Studies finds that over the last two decades the U.S. has spent more than $21 trillion on militarization, surveillance, and repression — all in the name of security. But instead of making our communities more secure, this racist spending produces needless violence, destruction, and harm. It also diverts resources from services that respond to our communities’ real needs.

60] – Attend the seminar Science and Technology for Nuclear Nonproliferation with Sara Pozzi, University of Michigan on Thurs., Nov. 4 from 6:30 to 8 PM ET.

Email Emilie Silva at emilieds@stanford.edu.
Nuclear nonproliferation has been a pressing societal need since the development of nuclear weapons. Preventing the further spread of nuclear capabilities that could lead to a nuclear weapons program is a crucial mission that requires both technical and policy advances. Several international treaties have been put into place to curb the expansion of nuclear capabilities. Nevertheless, there are states that may be pursuing elements of an overt or covert nuclear weapons program. New science and technology developments are needed to verify the existing or proposed treaties in this area and to ensure that nuclear weapons are never used again. The event is sponsored by Stanford University Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. RSVP at https://fsi.stanford.edu/events/director%E2%80%99s-series-science-technology-and-policy-science-and-technology-nuclear.
