Community Conversations Series
Last Saturdays from 10 am - 12 noon
@ PRC, 3850 Westgate Place, 92105
July 25th topic = MILITARISM (Military Industrial Complex, policing & more)
Aug 29: Spirituality's connection to social justice
Sept 26: Sustainability, climate change, environmentalism
For July, we'll explore concepts of Militarism* (as a system, like the "Military Industrial Complex"), review a short article and/or watch a video clip, and have discussion with questions, such as:
- What is our understanding/experience of this issue?
- Why do we care? How does it relate to our communities?
- What change is needed and how can we do it?
* See "Militarism Resources" (1 page PDF): http://prcsd.org/pdf's/prc2015-militarism1pg.pdf
We'll also pay attention to related events, such as:
- StopALEC Fest 2015, July 22-24

- Vets for Peace Convention in San Diego, Aug 5-9

~~ About this Conversation Series ~~
"PRISMS" are a way to look at interconnection of issues, related to equity, culture/norms, and barriers to change. The initials stand for: Poverty - Race - Immigration - Spirituality - Militarism - Sustainability.
What do YOU care about?
Why do you ACT?
How can we SUPPORT you?
We'll gather inside our space at the Friends Center, enjoy light refreshments, talk about current issues, build community, as well as brainstorm together about what matters and our next steps, asking questions, planning new possibilities, and linking the past to the present and future… for PEACE & JUSTICE!
