                      "The US and NATO's 'Pivot to Asia'
                          and Other Threats to Peace"
                   an evening with Col. Ann Wright (retired)
                       Monday, June 20, 2022 7:00 PM PDT
                live stream at youtube.com/peaceandjusticeworks

    Col. Ann Wright, a former Army officer and state department official
    who quit her job in protest of the 2003 invasion of Iraq, will speak on
    a livestream hosted by Portland area peace groups on Monday, June 20 at
    7:00 PM Pacific Time. Col. Wright's talk is titled "The US and NATO's
    'Pivot to Asia' and Other Threats to Peace" and will be followed by a
    question and answer period hosted by local media personality Jenka
    Soderberg.

    In addition to addressing the United States' military shift from the
    "Middle East" to the western Pacific (particularly China and Korea),
    and the ongoing neglect of Hawai'i (the 50th state) and the US military
    bases there, Col. Wright will address other issues related to US
    foreign and domestic policy. These include Russia's invasion of
    Ukraine, the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, the
    environmental impact of militarism, and of course, the US invasion and
    occupation of Iraq. Instructions for participating in the Q&A period
    following Col. Wright's presentation will be posted at the time of the
    event, which will be livestreamed on YouTube at
    youtube.com/peaceandjusticeworks. The presentation is coordinated by
    Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity Group.
