Part 5/7:
Speakers decried the justification of these conflicts, linking them directly back to the events of 9/11. They challenged the premise that national security was under threat from overseas ambitions, encouraging participants to critically assess how these narratives shaped their understanding of US foreign policy and military engagement.
The Push for Change Through Awareness
Another significant theme that emerged throughout the gathering was the need for a proactive citizenry. There was a strong push for public awareness and engagement, urging attendees to question mainstream media narratives and their implications. The emphasis was on the responsibility of citizens to hold their government accountable and encourage transparency.
