You heard us talking about our event in Indiana this past week, "A Conversation about War" -- so how did it go?

6/20/2016

 
The event, co-hosted by film producer Susan Hackley, and Silouan Green, author and veteran, who works with veterans with PTSD, had some lively discussions with a broad range of community members with something to say about war and its impact.
​
Veterans of Vietnam, World War II and the Iraq War had a lot to say about the need for deeper conversations about war. The message overwhelmingly was that when we send our sons and daughters off to fight a war, we should know exactly what we are asking them to do. It can be pretty ugly, and we shouldn't sanitize war to make ourselves feel better.
Stay tuned for more community events like this one and make your voice heard!

We've had great publicity from Stars and Stripes about our upcoming "Conversation about War" in Kokomo, Indiana. This is our kickoff event - the first of what we hope will be many conversations about war around the US.

How has war changed you? Join the open mike in Kokomo, Indiana on June 14th at 7pm. Details below.

Join us for a community gathering to talk about war. This event will be led by Silouan Green, veteran and author, and Susan Hackley, documentary film producer, and it is open to everyone free of charge. We invite veterans, soldiers, liberals, conservatives, independents, pacifists, parents and siblings – and anyone else with something to say about war.
When a nation goes to war, a nation should have a conversation on why we fight, how we fight, and what we do when the fighting stops and our troops come home. Never before have so few served relative to the general population, and to many Americans the wars are all but invisible.

This Conversation about War is our first step in making sure that all Americans can express their thoughts about war and ask questions in an environment of respect and curiosity. This is for everyone. We hope you will come.

Tuesday, June 14, 7 PM.
