The Arab Spring: 
Significance and Prospects

The Conference

Fall 2011 marks ten years since 9/11, the War on Terror, the Afghanistan War, and the founding of UJP. The US/NATO bombing of Libya is the latest in the series of wars. Domestically, greed is rampant and serious problems are getting worse. Few peace and justice activists can remember a more troubling time.

How did we get here and how can we change things?

What can we learn from the historic events in Egypt, where the people triumphed against huge odds, and the workers of Wisconsin?

How can the peace movement continue its work to end the wars and cut the military budget while also building cooperation with the economic and racial justice movements? 

We want a peaceful foreign policy based on democracy to focus on the pressing economic and human problems that must be solved.

Sen. John KerrySen. John Kerry (D-MA) is one of 12 members of  a Congressional “Supercommittee” charged with cutting $1.2 trillion from the federal deficit by November 23.   Sen. Kerry is  negotiating a “deal” with Republicans that would cut more than $1 trillion from Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, and other programs that serve the poor and middle class.

Sen. Scott Brown (R-MA) opposes any tax increases on the 1% or cuts to the military—the only way to avoid deep cuts to programs that serve the 99%!
