I had the great honor to interview Greta Zarro the Organizing Director of World Beyond War, @WorldBeyondWar.org (a superb peace organization whose member David Swanson has been on the program three times) about the big event World Beyond War is having July 8th to 10th online due to the ongoing pandemic titled NoWar2022: Resistance & Regeneration, a virtual global conference. https://worldbeyondwar.org/nowar2… . From promoting this event, we got to have a good wide ranging conversation on how if your a feminist, environmentalist, want equality for the Queer community, a socialist of both movements, and want an end to policing and police brutality you need to be anti-militarism and join the peace movement. Greta also responds to questions regarding Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and how even if one doesn’t support the action, did Russia exhaust its diplomatic means and was left with no other choice? and she makes the case why this war and NATO expansion isn’t the good war marketed to us and the backlash Russia is facing in the region for its actions which we agree was provoked by Western action. all this and more on this edition of 1+1 with Greta Zarro the organizaing director of World Beyond War.
