Join us for the last teach-in of our series leading up to Earth Day 2025. This month, we plan to highlight the impact of U.S. war, militarism, and imperialism on people and the planet. This 4th teach-in will cover the central issues that we have been discussing and building toward: that War Is Not Green. We will cover the cost of war to the planet, the conjoined fates of the climate and anti-war movements, and what it means to build an anti-militarist climate movement that calls for an end to US warfare and imperialism, stands for repatriation of indigenous land, and builds a new world. 

In order to combat the climate crisis, we need to confront US militarism and imperialism. The U.S. military is the #1 institutional polluter in the world, with over 800 poisonous bases around the world, consistently building up pointless escalation and presence in every hemisphere. In moments of crisis at every level, we need to center our movements toward common targets and our collective futures.

Join us for the second teach-in of our series leading up to Earth Day 2025. This month, we plan to highlight the impact of U.S. war, militarism, and imperialism on people and the planet. This second teach-in will cover the cost of the physical launching pads of war and the imperialism, militarism, and colonialism: US bases, military exercises, and other aspects of its global presence. The US has over 800 bases around the world, which act as testing sites, mini-terriorites and colonies, and are extremely poisonous and dangerous to those around them.

About the Film
Occupation 101: Voices of the Silenced Majority is an award-winning documentary film on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict directed by Sufyan Omeish and Abdallah Omeish, and narrated by If Americans Knew founder Alison Weir. The film focuses on the effects of the Israeli occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and discusses events from the rise of Zionism to the Second Intifada and Israel's unilateral disengagement plan, presenting its perspective through dozens of interviews, questioning the nature of I[sraeli-American relations — in particular, the Israeli military occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, and the ethics of US monetary involvement. 1] Occupation 101 includes interviews with mostly American and Israeli scholars, religious leaders, humanitarian workers, and NGO representatives — more than half of whom are Jewish — who are critical of the injustices and human rights abuses stemming from Israeli policy in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza.

Professor Makdisi’s teaching and research are situated at the crossroads of several different fields, including British Romanticism, imperial culture, colonial and postcolonial theory and criticism, and the cultures of urban modernity, particularly the revision and contestation of charged urban spaces, including London, Beirut and Jerusalem. He has also written extensively on the afterlives of colonialism in the contemporary Arab world, and, in addition to his scholarly articles, has also contributed pieces on current events to a number of newspapers and magazines, including the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, the Guardian, and the London Review of Books.

His most recent book is Tolerance is a Wasteland: Palestine and the Culture of Denial (University of California Press, 2022). He is also the author of Reading William Blake (Cambridge University Press, 2015); Making England Western: Occidentalism, Race, and Imperial Culture (University of Chicago Press, 2014); Palestine Inside Out: An Everyday Occupation (Norton, 2010); William Blake and the Impossible History of the 1790s (University of Chicago Press, 2003); and Romantic Imperialism (Cambridge University Press, 1998). He is presently working on a new book project, London’s Modernities, on the mapping and unmapping of London from the nineteenth century to the present.
