DESCRIPTION:No Sir! Whistleblowing and GI Resistance During the Vietnam War: An Evening 
 with Daniel Ellsberg, With Film Screening and Panel Discussion of “Sir! 
 No Sir!”\n\nTalk by Daniel Ellsberg: “The Silence of the Doves” 
 \n\nThe famous whistleblower who leaked the materials that became known as 
 The Pentagon Papers will talk about those leaders who opposed the war but 
 chose instead to “swallow the whistle.”\n\nSince the end of the Vietnam 
 War, Daniel Ellsberg has been a lecturer, writer and activist on the 
 dangers of the nuclear era, wrongful U.S. interventions and the urgent need 
 for patriotic whistleblowing. \n\nDocumentary screening: “Sir! No Sir!” 
 (David Zeiger, 2005)\nIn the 1960’s, an anti-war movement emerged that 
 altered the course of history. This movement didn’t take place on college 
 campuses, but in barracks and on aircraft carriers. It flourished in army 
 stockades, navy brigs and in the dingy towns that surround military bases. 
 It penetrated elite military colleges like West Point. And it spread 
 throughout the battlefields of Vietnam. It was a movement no one expected, 
 least of all those in it. Hundreds went to prison and thousands into exile. 
 And by 1971 it had, in the words of one colonel, infested the entire armed 
 services. Yet today few people know about the GI movement against the war 
 in Vietnam. \n\nFollowed by a panel discussion with GI activists, 
 conscientious objectors, and resisters featured in the film: Mike Wong & 
 Keith Mather. Joined by Ellsberg & moderated by Paul Cox.\n\nThis event is 
 free, open to the public, and wheelchair accessible. If you need any 
 disability accommodations in order to attend, including communication
