Day 2 on May 29 will include 2 online panel presentations. From 3pm-4:30pm Eastern Time, Te Ao Pritchard, Siana Bangura, Richard Sanders, and Colin Stuart will speak about how to shut down a weapons expo. Then from 4:30pm-6pm Eastern Time, we’ll hear from Tamara Lorincz, Brent Patterson, and Simon Black about conversion from a war to peace economy. Click here to register for Day 2!
Day 3 on May 30 from 3pm-5pm Eastern Time will be a virtual anti-war activists open mic session.
