Joining him in the studio is John Lindsay-Poland, research director and southwestern regional coordinator of the interfaith pacifist organization Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) to talk about what interests him most at this moment: the causes of state violence in Colombia and the role of a foreign power like the United States.

“Colorful demonstrations and weekend marches are vital but alone are not powerful enough to stop wars. Wars will be stopped only when soldiers refuse to fight, when workers refuse to load weapons onto ships and aircraft, when people boycott the economic outposts of Empire that are strung across the globe. ”
― Arundhati Roy
