Three Happy Hours. Hosted by Ploughshares Fund. Live via Zoom.
Monday, August 31, October 5, and November 2.
For everyone—but especially Gens X and Z and Millennials—this is the most important election of our lifetimes.
What threats to our national security make this so? How do democratic processes impact foreign policy goals? As we face a global pandemic and recession, how do nuclear weapons impact budgetary priorities and define the key relationships around the world that are critical to our safety?
Grab a glass of wine, a cocktail, or a mocktail and join us for a series of three happy hours leading up to the November 3 election during which we’ll talk with policy experts and our mega-smart partners about the impact this election will have on the future of US foreign policy.
The future of an American foreign policy grounded in our priorities and values hangs in the balance.
