Skywatch hosts Jimmy Leas and Danaka Katovich interview guest Medea Benjamin, who is Co-founder of CODEPINK, Women for Peace.
Opposition to the escalating war with Russia in Ukraine is growing: A CNN poll shows that 55% of Americans are opposed to any more funding for the war. Skywatch guest, Media Benjamin will talk about the campaign Code Pink is launching in Washington DC in October calling on Congress to do just that: stop the funding now. After decades of pointless wars in Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria, and now Ukraine, it's time to build a new antiwar movement to take on the military-industrial complex, the endless wars, the F-35, and all such weapons spending.

From Skywatch:
Skywatch hosts Jimmy Leas and Danaka Katovich interview guest William Hartung, a senior research fellow at the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft and the author of the book Prophets of War, which is about Lockheed Martin, the F-35, and the deeply corrupt system of weapons acquisition in the US. The book describes Lockheed's lobbying, bribery, cost overruns, subsidies, lax oversight, flawed products, rigged tests, lies, self-dealing, revolving door, law-breaking, and endless pressure for endless war. The book also tells the story of remarkable "closet patriots"-- insiders who blew the whistle.

From Skywatch:
Hosts Jimmy Leas and Danaka Katovich interview guest Dan Castrigano, campaigner with Safe Landing BTV.
The movement to ground unnecessary flights is growing. This includes the climate-killing F-35s, private jets, and other unnecessary flights. On May 23rd, more than 30 activists gathered at Patrick Leahy Burlington International Airport to voice these demands. This action was in solidarity with an action on the same day in Geneva, Switzerland, where activists protested at EBACE, the largest private jet sales event in Europe. More than 100 activists were arrested demanding an immediate ban on private jets.
Dan is an educator and community organizer fighting for climate and social justice. Dan is a campaigner with Safe Landing BTV, which demands an immediate ban on private jets and a 50% reduction of emissions at Patricky Leahy International Airport by 2030. You can find Safe Landing BTV at safelandingbtv.org and on social media @safelandingbtv. Dan also campaigns with Flight Free USA and Flight Free Vermont, where folks pledge to fly less, take a flight free year, or quit flying altogether because of the climate crisis. You can pledge to be flight free at flightfree.org.
