Iowa Physicians for Social Responsibility Convene September 11
The public is welcome
Please
consider joining us on September 11 in the Des Moines Botanical Center
as we reassess our situation at home and abroad regarding the so-called
“war on terrorism.” Auspiciously timed and located in a lovely
life-affirming space, this unique event will open with an interfaith
memorial to all the victims of September 11 – here in the US and
abroad. Our keynote speaker, Ambassador George Moose, will
reflect on how US foreign policy is contributing to an increasingly
dangerous and unstable global environment as this war enters its fourth
year. From there, we will examine the impact on our health,
environment and humanity, of the policies and programs pursued by this
administration in our names. The second half of the day will be
devoted to determining what each of us can do to help create policies
and programs that more clearly reflect our needs for a healthy,
sustainable, and more secure future.
Fees for
the conference include lunch and conference materials and help defray
the costs associated with bringing in such an outstanding roster of
speakers. If suggested fees represent a burden for anyone interested in
participating, scholarships are available. For more information
