Webinar: Dissenters: Students Say No to the Military-Industrial Complex

Dissenters is a coalition of college students on 25 different campuses around the country that are actively engaged in “turning the tide against endless war.” It is an intersectional movement that connects the dots from racism to militarism to poverty and organizes against political and corporate elites in order to create a safer, more just, more livable world.

Recently the Dissenters chapter at UMass Amherst organized to get Raytheon and other war profiteers off campus. Among their demands were to end Raytheon’s campus recruitment, research, collaboration on curriculum, joint faculty appointments, and partnerships.

This webinar will describe the approach of Dissenters across the country as well as the specific student efforts at UMass Amherst.
