Join OCDSA Political Education Committee as we discuss Orange County's connection to the military industrial complex in the United States. We will be discussing excerpts from the following:

  • "Suburban Warriors: The Origins of the New American Right" - Lisa McGirr
  • "A People's Guide to Orange County" - Elaine Lewinnek, Thuy Vo Dang, Gustavo Arellano
  • "Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism" - Vladimir Lenin

We hope to consider some of the questions:

  • How has military industry shaped the unequal development of Orange County's economy, community, and politics?
  • Why was GKN Aerospace allowed to operate a chemical plant in the middle of a working class neighborhood?
  • How can we build organized resistance to military industrial interests and fight for an economy which uplifts rather than oppresses our fellow workers?

All are welcome!
