HAPPENING NOW: JOIN:Â https://us02web.zoom.us/j/85449481333
On Tuesday, January 18, join CODEPINK Congress, John Nichols of The Nation, and David Dayen of The American Prospect as we evaluate Biden's first year in the White House.
There's plenty of change that Biden could make with just the stroke of a pen. During his first term, Biden signed executive orders to end the Muslim travel ban and extend the START Arms Control Treaty for five years - but what about ending arms sales to Saudi Arabia, or taking nuclear weapons off hair trigger alert? There are critical administrative actions that Biden has yet to take that would promote world peace and stability. Join us as we evaluate Biden's foreign and domestic policies during his first year in office and look toward actions he could take with the stroke of a pen in 2022 to advance world peace.
