The War Resisters League invites peace and justice activists to participate in "unwelcoming" NATO to Chicago this spring. They're working on a Counter Summit for Peace And Economic Justice on May 18 and 19, and joining many other groups from around the country for a march and rally on Saturday, May 19.
Calling on videographers: WRL is seeking 2- to 3-minute videos about NATO and/or the G8. To submit, they say, "shoot your video, upload it to YouTube, tag it as "natog8freefuture," and send a quick email to freeofnatog8 at gmail dot com letting us know you uploaded it. From there, we'll post it to our YouTube channel."
WRL has also put together a Bombs and Budgets curriculum, which, they say, "links economic justice and antimilitarist organizing through a framework that identifies the natural overlaps in these struggles and takes participants from community based organizations through exercises that help them brainstorm how they can strengthen their economic justice organizing work through an antimilitarist lens."
