TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 7PM-9PM. ZOOM MEETING. From 9/11 to Today: What Have We Learned ? From Afghanistan to Guantanamo. Following the attacks on 9/11 the Bush Administration opted for a “war on terrorism,” which has tragically continued until now. This important forum will draw on personal experiences to consider some overlooked consequences of that choice and implications for the present. Guest Speakers: Danny Sjursen is a retired US Army Major from Staten Island, who has served combat tours in Afghanistan and Iraq and who has become a leading critic of the “forever wars.” Nancy Hollander is a distinguished criminal defense attorney, who has represented prisoners in Guantanamo and other politically persecuted individuals, including Chelsea Manning. Sponsor: Brooklyn For Peace, Co-sponsors: Bay Ridge Peace Action, The Indypendent, World Can’t Wait (list in formation). Co-Sponsors Invited!
