The kick-off event in our new Activisms series at Modern Times Bookstore brings renowned peace activists Medea Benjamin and Alli Starr to share their insights on media, elected politicians, global militarization, and the pending scarcity of national resources that lead us to war.

Benjamin’s latest editorial undertaking, Stop the Next War Now: Effective Responses to Violence and Terrorism offers hope, ideas and reflections on the effectiveness of peace-movement activities, and practical checklists to help us transition from a culture of violence to one of peace.
