The United States spends some $170 billion every year on military bases and other military presence in other countries, but this presence and its cost often go unnoticed in the U.S.

Anthropologist researchers David Vine (American University) and Catherine Lutz (Brown University) help us understand the far-flung and massive U.S. military presence in more than 100 countries, and how to obtain information activists can use in the current budget debates, in solidarity with impacted communities in other countries, and to understand material expression of empire.

Join us for a webinar led by David Vine (author of extensive articles on U.S. foreign bases), hosted by John Lindsay-Poland, with comments by Catherine Lutz (author of "The Bases of Empire: The Global Struggle Against U.S. Military Posts").

People active in current campaigns to ensure cuts in the Pentagon budget, members of diaspora communities from countries affected by U.S. military bases, and those seeking a more just and demilitarized foreign policy can use this webinar in our ongoing work.
