From Skywatch:

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.
