Ending the Forever Wars: Press Conference and Community Forum.
When: September 10th, Saturday, Noon - 4pm.
Where: Lucky Labrador Meeting Room, 915 SE Hawthorne, Portland
Greens are on the march, leveraging the Dan Pulju for US Senate candidacy to call out the overwhelming power held by the military industrial complex.
Dan Pulju, Pacific Green Party candidate for US Senate will make a press statement and lead a community forum addressing the problem of war and the overbearing power of the military industrial complex at the Lucky Lab on Hawthorne in Portland on September 10th at 1pm.
"Ending the War of Terror and resisting the post-9/11 march to military dictatorship, will be the theme for a combined press event about resisting war, advancing Dan Pulju for US Senate, and commemorating the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks,” said Chuck Fall of Green Liberty Caucus, co-sponsor for press conference at 1pm.
“Since September 11th 2001, American political and economic rights have been steadily undermined,” said Dan Pulju, running for the US Senate. “My campaign is about resisting war, the military industrial complex, and getting a green into office so the anti-war community has representation in Congress,” said Pulju.
Green Liberty Caucus will issue a statement acknowledging the 21st anniversary of the 9/11 attacks and provide a broad historical context that ‘connects the dots’ to show how the military industrial complex is a driving force in making the US a belligerent world power and that "this comes at great expense to our country and other nations. We need to give it up, and that is what Dan offers Oregonians; a candidate that stands for real reforms," said Fall.
An Open Forum will follow the press event and provide an opportunity to discuss the problem of war and consider how Dan Pulju as a US Senator could help advance the anti-war movement and put the world on a path toward peace.
When: September 10th, Saturday, Noon - 4pm.
