In this lecture, veteran and former Special Forces soldier Stan Goff discusses the Iraq War and the antiwar movement in the United States. Goff uses his experience in the military to make a convincing argument for an immediate end to the occupation of Iraq. Among his many unique insights, Goff argues that the Iraqi insurgency will succeed in driving the U.S. out due to widespread opposition to the occupation among Iraqis. Goff places the war in a larger context of U.S. imperialism and calls for an anti-imperialist movement against the war that not only calls for an end to the Iraq War but a better world.

In this lecture, author, scholar, and activist Andrea Smith of INCITE! Women of Color against Violence discussed sexual violence in American Indian communities and the role of sexual violence in genocide. Smith argues hat sexual violence is an inherent part of the colonial project. She also asserts that sexual violence--as a weapon of both patriarchy and colonialism--must be approached from an anti-colonial perspective. Finally, she shares her thoughts on organizing against sexual violence and argues for a "mass movement" against sexual violence that exists outside of current non-profit structures.
