SUMMARY:Dismantling The Trillion Dollar War Machine
DESCRIPTION:\nIN-PERSON EVENT | SEATTLE\, WA\n\n\n\nThe Trump administratio
 n’s astronomical budget request for the Pentagon—proposed even as spen
 ding on health\, environment\, education\, nutrition\, and veteran’s ben
 efits are on the chopping block—shows the military-industrial complex ha
 s more influence than ever.\n\n\n\nJoin us for a conversation with William
  Hartung and Ben Freeman\, authors of the acclaimed Trillion Dollar War Ma
 chine\, which takes readers behind the scenes of the military industrial c
 omplex that is driving us into foreign wars and bankrupting us at home. Th
 e authors will painstakingly reveal the Pentagon and weapons makers’ per
 vasive influence on our government\, our politics\, and our culture--from 
 the movies we watch and the video games we play to the distortion of scien
 tific research for military purposes. But\, most importantly\, they'll dis
 cuss what the rest of us can do to fight back.\n\n\n\nThe event is being c
 o-hosted by the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and Washington
  Physicians for Social Responsibility (WPSR)\, an organization dedicated t
 o fighting for peace\, social justice\, and environmental protection and r
 estoration.\n\n\n\nBooks will be for sale and signed by the authors. The e
 vent is free and open to the public\n\n\n\n\nRSVP\n\n\n\n\n\n
