Overseas Base Realignment and Closure Coalition (OBRACC) Senate Launch Event
Channel: David Vine
Date: 2018-11-29

In a public event held November 29, 2018, in the Russell Senate Office Building, military experts from across the ideological spectrum released an open letter to the Trump Administration and Congress arguing for the closure of wasteful, damaging, and unneeded US military bases abroad. In an era of bitter divisions between right and left, consensus is growing around a long-overlooked but crucial part of how the United States engages with the world: the nearly 75-year-old strategy of maintaining some 800 US military bases in 80 foreign countries. The event also served as a launch for the new transpartisan Overseas Base Realignment and Closure Coalition (OBRACC). To learn more, visit www.overseasbases.net.
