21] – World BEYOND War is excited to be partnering with CODEPINK
on a free 5-week divestment webinar series. It will continue on Mon., May
4 at 8 PM ET, and it will address
Divestment Myths/Organizing in the Time of Coronavirus. Now that our society
faces an uncertain future and economic downturn, how can we continue to push
for divestment from the war machine? Organizing for Divestment in the time of
Coronavirus will explore how to respond to common arguments about divestment
and profitability and how the campaign can benefit from incorporating a
divest/invest framework. Hear from CODEPINK’s Co-Director Jodie Evans, who will
discuss how we can utilize this moment to organize local peace economies, and
Roberta Giodarno, the finance campaigner from the Sunrise Movement. Check out https://www.eventbrite.com/e/divest-from-the-war-machine-webinar-series-registration-102039713530.

23] – On
Mon., May 4 from 7 to 8 PM, make it over to Politics and Prose Bookstore Live
with Jung Pak. This event will be streamed online as part of the P&P Live!
Series. Building from her groundbreaking 2018 Brookings essay, "The
Education of Kim Jong Un," Pak offers the most detailed and thorough
portrait of the North Korean leader to date. A former CIA analyst who advised
top military and government officials, including the Obama White House, Pak
draws on her experience and access to classified documents to trace the rise of
an enigmatic and surprising leader. Initially written off as unlikely to last,
Kim instead has consolidated his power at home through a series of brutal
purges while commanding ever more attention on the world stage for his nuclear
ambitions. Arguing that he’s still underestimated in the West, Pak illuminates
much about Kim’s personality and motivations.
