This print is a part of the Dissenters’ portfolio and booklet, DE-MIL-I-TA-RISE.
Dissenters is a movement organization leading a new generation of young people to reclaim resources from the war industry, reinvest in life-giving institutions, and repair collaborative relationships with the earth and people around the world. They are building local teams of young people across the country to force institutions to divest from war and militarism, and reinvest in what our communities actually need. From campuses to congress, they are building grassroots power to cut off war elites once and for all.
In an effort to lift up this important work, Justseeds Artists’ Cooperative organized the DE-MIL-I-TA-RISE portfolio and booklet for use in Dissenters organizing campaigns, popular education projects, and cultural programming.

YOU ARE INVITED!
Please join us live & in-person at the Peace Center for the return of our forum series!
We are excited to host two longtime friends of the Center, Professors Nolan Higdon and Mickey Huff of Project Censored! They will be at the Peace Center at the end of the month to discuss their recent book, “Let’s Agree to Disagree” (Routledge 2022).
From the publisher: “In an age defined by divisive discourse and disinformation, democracy hangs in the balance. Let’s Agree to Disagree seeks to reverse these trends by fostering constructive dialogue through critical thinking and critical media literacy.
This transformative text introduces readers to useful theories, powerful case studies, and easily adoptable strategies for becoming sharper critical thinkers, more effective communicators, and critically media literate citizens”
Just this year – we have seen firsthand how misinformation, prejudice, and fear can drive deep divides within movements. Especially in the peace movement – we have seen splits emerge between groups of people who should be united in their struggle – but instead continue to find roadblocks that impede collaboration and constructive communication.
It is imperative that we learn how to come together & become more effective communicators if we want to make tangible change.
The workshop will begin with a presentation and end with a Q&A with the speakers.
Tickets are FREE for Peace Center members and $5 for the general public. Refreshments will be provided.
