Activists Hold People’s Tribunal on Iraq War Thirteen Years After Bush Launched; Rules for Revolutionaries: How Big Organizing Can Change Everything.

iraq_tribunal_codepink-800x509More than 13 years after the start of the US’s disastrous war in Iraq, violence continues. Today we’ll speak with Codepink’s Jodie Evans about the People’s Tribunal on the Iraq war that she is the lead organizer of. She’ll tell us about the need for such a tribunal, who will be testifying, and where people can watch the proceedings. And, Becky Bond, who was a senior advisor on the Bernie Sanders campaign for President, joins us for a lengthy conversation about a new book she has co-written with Zack Exley called Rules for Revolutionaries: How Big Organizing Can Change Everything. Given Donald Trump’s electoral college win, Bond makes the case for why, now more than ever, the nation needs “big organizing,” against the coming political apocalypse.
