Peacemakers: Get Ready for Biden’s Cabinet Picks
Please join CODEPINK for a look at Biden’s cabinet nominees with special guest Norman Solomon, author of War Made Easy!
Medea Benjamin, co-founder of CODEPINK, Marcy Winograd, coordinator of CODEPINKCONGRESS, and Hanieh Jodat Barnes, president of Muslim Delegates and Allies, will host the evening with their friend and longtime anti-war activist Norman Solomon.
Norman will discuss the GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY as we review Biden’s cabinet nominees on foreign and domestic policies, with the latest pick being Kathleen Hicks for Deputy Secretary of Defense. Hicks is the Henry Kissinger Chair (oh no!) at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS).
What can we expect from these nominees?
What legislative campaigns should we be ready to embrace?
What executive orders should we demand Biden issue in the first 100 days?
Following Norman’s talk and Q and A, our Capitol Hill Calling team will discuss action alerts to share with allies to challenge Biden nominee Avril Haines for National Intelligence.
