Phyllis Bennis, a prominent anti-war activist and senior analyst at the Institute for Policy Studies, will speak about U.S. policy and the Middle East today.
Bennis has worked as an analyst and commentator on U.S. and international television and radio, according to a press release from Community Alliance of Lane County. She has written about United Nations and Middle East issues for nearly 20 years.
In September, Bennis joined anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan and other women in a protest in front of the White House.
Bennis will speak from noon to 1:30 p.m. in the EMU Walnut Room. The event is co-sponsored by Concerned Faculty for Peace and Justice and Progressive Responses, a program of CALC.
Tonight, she will speak from 7-9 p.m. at the First United Methodist Church, 1376 Olive St. The title of that talk will be “Challenging Empire: Moving U.S. Politics Toward a Positive Solution.”
