Feminists will gain insight into how economic systems are used to advantage and how alternative economic models can challenge authoritarian rule. From weapons makers to big investment firms like BlackRock and Vanguard, we’ll look at how profits from war touch everything from universities to tech. We’ll also talk about how war is used to grab land, exploit workers, and extract resources in places like the DRC, SWANA, Bolivia, and Venezuela. Most importantly, we’ll ask: what would the world look like if that money went toward care, not conflict? This session features Lindsay Koshgarian. Lindsay leads the National Priorities Project, where she focuses on how federal budget choices prioritize militarism over investment in people and the planet. Her work has been featured in The New York Times, The Washington Post, MSNBC, and more. She holds a Master of Public Policy from UCLA and a BA in Physics from the University of Pennsylvania.
