Powering Anti-War Organizing: An Event Sponsored by RootsAction & Defuse Nuclear War

Join us on Thursday, June 26 at 6 PM in D.C. for a timely and urgent in-person conversation with Representative Ro Khanna and anti-war leaders and activists about how we can stop the march to war with Iran.

As tensions rise in the Middle East and the threat of direct U.S. military involvement grows, grassroots movements must play a central role in pressing for diplomacy, accountability, and peace.

This event, hosted by RootsAction and the inspiring Andy Shallal, will feature a special discussion with:

Congressman Ro Khanna - U.S. Representative (D-CA)

Hassan El-Tayyab — Legislative Director for Middle East Policy, FCNL

Hanieh Jodat - RootsAction, Defuse Nuclear War

Emma Claire Foley — Campaign Director, Defuse Nuclear War, RootsAction

Michael Greenberg — Organizer, Climate Defiance
