From the Organizers:
"Kevin Martin will share practical strategies and resources as we regroup to analyze the new context for continuing efforts to abolish nuclear weapons, bring peace and justice to Gaza, and build a just and peaceful world for all."
Audio both recorded on-site and edited by WIlton Vought (last name rhymes with thought) of Essential Dissent.
There is ONE version of this talk. It does not include my intro/outro etc...just the talk plus portions of the Q&A, with the Qs summarized using an AI voice.
It took place in a very informal setting, with 15 or so people seated at 4 tables arranged in a rectangle.
The talk is far more mainstream than most of my content, but still well worth listening to...or even more so, depending on your point of view. Kevin Martin has a depth and breadth of knowledge that can only be gleaned from decades of experience in peace and justice movements. I say it's more mainstream because it lacks a class-based analysis of the major US political parties and of capitalism, and because the Democratic Party, presented here as an alternative to the Republicans, is IMO the "other" party of the ruling class. But that doesn't mean there's no difference between the two parties, hence my interest in recording and presenting this talk.
