Making Sense of the Moment: War in Iran & the Erosion of American Hegemony

Date: Jul 18th

Making Sense of the Moment is a member-led open discussion series to analyze the current political moment and orient ourselves towards collection action.

In this session, we'll be discussing the US and Israel's war with Iran - its supposed rationalization, its effects on the international working class, and how we can organize to disrupt the American war machine.
