30] – Ken Jones [info+war-industry-resisters-network-info@email.actionnetwork.org] on Tues., Dec. 9 at 7 PM ET is inviting you to a War Industry Resisters Network webinar --Trillion Dollar War Machine. Register at https://secure.everyaction.com/7cR7gtXz40m9mhQAleZXlA2
America spends a trillion dollars a year on its military. This extraordinary spending not only detracts from our ability to address pressing social problems but compels us into foreign wars to justify our vast arsenal. Top policy experts William D. Hartung and Ben Freeman will discuss their new book The Trillion Dollar War Machine, which follows the profits of militarism from traditional Pentagon contractors, who receive more than half of the Pentagon’s budget, to the upstart high-tech firms that shamelessly promote unproven and destabilizing technologies. They unmask the enablers of the war machine—politicians, lobbyists, the media, Hollywood, think tanks, and so many more—whose work enriches a wealthy elite at the expense of everybody else, spreading conflict around the world and embroiling America in endless wars. The book shows who is pulling the strings and pushing for war, and offers a blueprint for how we can shut down the war machine and restore American security and prosperity.

33] – CCAN [info@chesapeakeclimate.org] on Wed., Dec. 10 at 2 PM ET is holding a webinar Make Polluters Pay. This is a chance to learn about the growing state & national movement. Climate disasters cost $ billions. Big Oil should pay. In the 1990s, chemical polluters and other manufacturers responsible for poisonous superfund sites were, rightfully, made to pay to clean up their toxic messes. Similarly, in the late 90s, Big Tobacco was finally held responsible for billions in public health costs associated with their dangerous products. More recently, Big Pharma has been required to pay to help states and local governments get a handle on the opioid epidemic. This webinar will feature U.S. Senator Chris Van Hollen, Maryland Senator Katie Hester, Virginia Delegate Rae Cousins, and others to discuss how we can shift costs to the entity responsible: Big Oil.

36] – We Build Progress [info@progressivecaucuscenter.org] on Wed., Dec. 10 at 3 PM ET is holding a webinar: Lessons from the Labor Movement on Fighting Authoritarianism. Unions and labor leaders have been at the forefront of resistance: defending the right to unionize, protecting immigrant workers, and advocating for the students, patients, and communities they serve. This year, we’ve seen the Trump Administration weaken federal agencies and programs that protect workers’ rights, mass fire federal employees, and launch unprecedented attacks on our civil liberties. But there has also been inspiring resistance.
