*[Enwl-eng] Join me next week for Arms Trade 101 webinar

[ENWL]

                        You're invited to join me on July 9 for a webinar on 
"Arms Trade 101 and Intersecting Issues." Hosted by Campaign Against Arms 
Trade (CAAT) UK, this webinar will explore how the global arms trade 
intersects with other key issues of our time, including racism, colonialism, 
climate (in)justice, and militarised policing.

                        We will start the event with poetry from Yemeni poet 
Amina Atiq, based in Liverpool and move into our panel, chaired by 
Demilitarise Education's Melina Villeneuve. Joining me on the panel are Sham 
Murad ('A' is for Activism), Dr. Nadine El-Enany (Birkbeck University), and 
Dr. Kojo Koram (Birkbeck University).

                        What: Arms Trade 101 Webinar
                        When: Thursday, July 9 at 1:30pm-4:00pm Eastern Time

                        War is a top cause of the erosion of civil 
liberties, a top justification of government secrecy, the basis for the 
militarization of local police, a catalyst for racism and bigotry, a top 
creator of refugees, and the reason humanity risks nuclear apocalypse. 
Militarism is a top destroyer of the natural environment, yet exempted from 
major environmental standards. Just a small portion of the amount of money 
spent on wars and militarism could end global hunger, provide clean drinking 
water, housing, healthcare, education, and a myriad of other needs. In sum, 
the institution of war is stopping us from achieving the just, peaceful, and 
green future that we want to see.

                        Join me on July 9 to talk about the global arms 
trade and its multi-faceted impacts, and the opportunities for 
intersectional organizing and coalition-building that connects the dots 
between these issues.

                        See you on Zoom,
