Imperialism is one of the biggest issues of our times, having created much of the state of the world today, but it’s largely left out of most political conversations. It is an issue that affects all of us though, whatever our political affiliations, as it is responsible for most of our taxes, it makes us less safe in the world, it increases violence, poverty, hate, and environmental destruction/climate change, it restricts our freedoms and opportunities, and it is killing our civilization, our humanity, and our children as well.
I am organizing this public, non-partisan, community forum on behalf of the people (not the parties or their front groups) not only so that we can all learn about the history of US imperialism and how it is being used still today to oppress and destroy people, cultures, environment, and more around the world and here at home, but also so you can share your own views, ask your questions, and be a part of this urgently-needed discussion.
We are inviting all candidates for office in our area, as well as experts on the topic or people with lived experience in the countries affected (that includes our own!), to participate in this forum. If that’s you, or if you’d like to contribute a question or share a story, please give me a shout at contact@markila.com.
