Militarism Watch
The Fellowship of Reconciliation announces Militarism Watch, a project to increase the capacity in social change movements and academia for research that serves activism and campaigns against US militarization at home and abroad. Endorsed by Daniel Ellsberg, Medea Benjamin and other veteran activists, Militarism Watch responds to the need in our movements for skills to research the many aspects of U.S. militarism, to inform our work and choices, make us effective in advocacy and media outreach, and be aware of emerging issues.

Militarism Watch produces handouts and other resources to help increase skills on research, with digital versions and links to these tools to be posted on this web page. Activities to increase capacity include workshops, webinars or cyber-seminars, and a “research camp,” conducted by project members. As a set of tools is developed and posted, project members are encouraged to publish the results of their research.
Aspiring and experienced researchers are invited to be project members, to learn and share skills, and to share the results of their research into aspects of U.S. militarization, including military bases, arms sales, private contractors, recruitment, lack of GI rights, and more.
