Join NWSOFA-Indivisible’s Restore Our Democracy Lead, Ed Spire, 12/18 @ 7 pm Central, for an important and timely presentation exploring how the current Republican administration is reshaping America’s military strategy and global role
In this session, Ed will examine the sweeping changes now driving U.S. military policy—changes that reflect shifting priorities away from international cooperation and toward unilateral action in our own hemisphere.
For decades, U.S. defense policy emphasized strong alliances with democratic partners and a balance of power that safeguarded stability around the world. That foundation is now being challenged. The administration’s decisions to distance the U.S. from traditional allies while ceding influence to adversarial powers represent a profound break from longstanding bipartisan practices. These shifts carry serious implications not only for American security but also for peace, democracy, and human rights abroad.
Ed will unpack what’s behind these moves—political ideology, domestic pressures, and the growing influence of authoritarian models—and invite discussion on how grassroots activists, voters, and civic organizations can respond. Together, we’ll consider how to support diplomacy, transparency, and accountability in national defense policy, and how each of us can help restore America’s leadership role built on democratic values.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with others who care deeply about democracy, peace, and responsible governance.
