I work at haymarket books but i had the privilege of putting together events for these children many others and have the opportunity for thinking of going to come and introduce the event. We vetted number of events like this and well have a few more and theyve all been really exciting to be part of any want to say the things about why i think if its like these are so important, particularly today. It strikes me just walking through the world how lonely it can be, to be an antiwar activist at this moment but if theres an Antiwar Movement it is received as a path away from vision. Its harder to see any sort of organized action. What we are left with is Mainstream Media is decent if they have any debates on any of the wars we are currently engaged in. It usually somewhat someone who is prowar debating someone who is prowar on the oth
