On March 18, thousands of people from across the country and the world gathered in Lafayette Park, just outside the White House, demanding an end to the endless US wars of the past 20 years and in particular the proxy conflict in Ukraine.
Almost 300 groups endorsed the event from a wide variety of struggles, including the environmental organizations , antiwar veterans organizations, Black liberation fighters, African solitary groups, and many more. Rachel and I were both thrilled to have been there to experience this resurgence in the peace movement in the United States, coming such a critical time when the US is waging a deadly and costly proxy war with Russia in Ukraine with no end in sight, and aiming its guns at China at the same time.
From its start at Lafayette Park, the event marched to the White House, and then to the warmongering Washington Post, carrying caskets draped in flags of nations impacted by the US war machine. The event ended at the historic New York Avenue Presbyterian Church with an indoor rally.
For today’s episode, we’re going to bring you a selection of speakers from this historic event. Some you may have heard of - like Jill Stein and Noam Chomsky. Others are voices that everyone needs to hear more of, shining light on the crimes of imperialism from Eritrea to Guam.
