Some friends of mine passed this along.
Jack Nelson-Pallmeyer, professor of Peace and Justice Studies at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, is coming to Grand Rapids for a talk regarding MN ASAP: Minnesota Arms Spending Alternative Project. A resolution process to build political support to shift federal spending priorities of war to meeting essential needs for Minnesotans.
6:30 MONDAY at Davies Hall at Itasca Community College in Grand Rapids.
JNP, as he is known colloquially, continues to hold a great deal of attention among liberals in my neighborhood. I’ve not seen him speak but I’ll share the news for those who are interested.
Update: Ugh, I forgot to mention the date. It’s today, Dec. 12.
One response to “Shifting from wars to, well, just about anything else”
Funny. Manning levels in the Air Force have been cut by more than 50% since the late 1980s. If only we could get a fraction of those cuts in the civil service across the rest of the federal government.
