Disarmament Conference in Cambridge Oct 21-23
ø
The
Institute for Defense & Disarmament Studies is celebrating the 25th
Aniversary of the Nuclear Freeze with a 2.5 day conference. IDDS is [in
their own words]
an independent, non-profit, 501(c)(3) tax-exempt
center dedicated to research, alternative policy studies,
and public education on ways to reduce the risk of war, minimize
military spending, and foster democratic institutions.
The
founding director, Dr. Randall Forsberg, came out early against John
Kerry’s position on the Iraq War. When he refused to change his vote,
she challenged him [unsuccessfully] for his Senate seat. You might ask,
“Is nonproliferation by pre-emptive war a good policy” and get some
answers that might not turn your stomach. I would think that if you
want to argue [as a woman from the ILGWU did at another conference]
that North Korea is entitled to nuclear weapons, you will find it a
tough sell.
You can register online. The food events cost money, but you can register [as I did] for $ 0.00.
