Peace in the Crossfire of Modern Media 

The Peace Action Committee of the Green Party of the United States is hosting a webinar - Peace in the Crossfire of Modern Media - to discuss the danger of biased media coverage of the war in Ukraine. As the escalating conflict brings the world perilously close to the brink of a major war between nuclear-armed adversaries, honest media reportage has never been more critical. Yet, Western mainstream media outlets continuously portray a distorted image of the conflict that whitewashes Western culpability and engenders support for further escalation of hostilities. The webinar features a panel of distinguished speakers to unpack the militaristic agenda lurking behind the pro-war mainstream media.

Join us on Saturday, February 25 at 1pm Eastern Time for this important discussion at a particularly pivotal moment in history! 

Featured Speakers:

Jill Stein - US Green Party presidential candidate in 2012 and 2016.  

Margaret Kimberley - Executive Editor and Senior Columnist, Black Agenda Report  

Dan Kovalik - Leading human rights and labor attorney 

Haig Hovaness - Co-chair, Green Party Peace Action Committee 

Ryan Swan (Moderator) - Gerda Henkel Doctoral Scholar in global security, Rhenish Friedrich Wilhelm University of Bonn

“Defending Public Education,”
Green Party Webinar
7:30 pm, CT,  Wed, March 1, 2023

 What is the current state of St. Louis City schools?  How would potentially
repressive legislation affect education in Missouri?  Ongoing problems
with St. Louis public schools are not an accident and could be called
“Failure by Design.”  Programs developed in St. Louis City and north St.
Louis County build a strong partnership between local schools and the
community through sustainable gardening.  Let’s take a look at the status
of trade school programs in north and south St. Louis.  Your comments
will be welcome.

Hear from…  

• Susan Turk, Editor, St. Louis School Watch, Public education advocate
• Dr. Barbara Anderson, Retired St. Louis City Public School Teacher and
   Principal
• Mitch Pearson, Retired Public School Teacher in St. Louis City and
   County
• Donna Jones, St. Louis City School Board member

Susan Armstrong (moderator) Civil Engineer, MO Safe Drinking Water
Commission.
