Webinar on Resisting U.S. Counterinsurgency and Wars of SuppressionFriday Jul 24, 4pm Honolulu, 7pm Los Angeles, 8pm Ciudad de Mexico
Saturday July 25: 9am Jakarta, 10am Manila, 11am Jayapura, 12pm Melbourne Register: https://tinyurl.com/resist-july-webinar Join us for a critical webinar focusing on how U.S. military exercises in the Asia-Pacific under PACOM widely spread repression and violence against people's movements and struggles for self-determination. In addition to the well-documented harms to the land and people that U.S. war games bring, speakers will share first hand testimony of the counterinsurgency and suppression tactics of governments that go hand in hand with exercises. People who resist the occupation of their land, genocide and ecocide against their people, are targeted by state counterinsurgency operations, under the name of “security”, “counter terrorism” or “national development” that, in truth, slaughter and massacre civilians and criminalize just resistance. This repression sparks even more resistance! Our anti-war movements must rally and support people's movements for self-determination and expose these U.S. backed military attacks. The continued surge in simultaneous multi-front exercises across the region, including the U.S.'s largest-ever Balikatan (Philippines), Valiant Shield (Guam, Hawai'i and Japan), RIMPAC (Hawai'i), Pitch Black (Australia), Super Garuda Shield (Indonesia), Freedom Shield (Korea) reflects a shift toward a more well connected and interoperable alliance architecture designed to wage wars of suppression against the people, while continuing the build-up toward large scale war with China. The webinar will advance the ongoing People's Caravan Against War Drills campaign and the call to struggle for sovereignty, while making clear how resisting these exercises is integral to broader liberation struggles.
