DESCRIPTION:The violence that the US military has inflicted on the rest of the world 
 has always been accompanied by police violence and repression at home, 
 especially aimed at BIPOC people. But now, with persistent ICE attacks and 
 National Guard occupations of our cities, it has become an overt and 
 official wide-scale federal policy. The weapons and strategies that the US 
 has used in its imperial wars are now being turned on its own population in 
 a blatant and unconstitutional move towards authoritarian rule. The wars 
 have come home. This webinar will address this undemocratic use of 
 militarized force, discuss its legality, and point to who is profiting from 
 it. It will also describe the resistance that has risen up in cities such 
 as Portland, Chicago, and DC.\n\nPresenters:\n\nMichael McPhearson is the 
 Executive Director of Veterans For Peace, an Army combat veteran, and a 
 human rights and antiwar activist. He has been active in many movements, 
 including the movement for Black Lives.\n\nVanessa Torres Hernandez is the 
 Integrated Advocacy Director at the ACLU of the State of Washington, where 
 she leads efforts to develop and coordinate legal, policy, political, 
 communications, and organizing strategies to protect and promote the civil 
 rights and civil liberties of all Washingtonians. \n\nDon Washington is the 
 Executive Director of the Chicago Housing Initiative Coalition, with over 
 25 years of experience working in social justice campaigns, training 
 programs, and organizations. \n\n
