Yemen can’t wait: A case study and insider’s account of a unique success by the US peace movement to help end a calamitous war

Peace &Change, Volume 49, Issue 4, Page 346-352, October 2024.

Abstract

Peace, disarmament, and anti-war advocacy in the United States has a long and proud history, while facing longstanding challenges to its effectiveness given the overwhelming militaristic and undemocratic issues facing the country. A growing trend toward intersectionality is necessary and welcome, but not yet bearing much fruit in terms of progress toward de-militarizing US foreign (and domestic) policy. However, peace forces within the United States are continuously at work despite the national government's foreign policy priorities. This article will provide a snapshot of the peace movement, its priorities, actions, and prospects for the future in addressing the perplexing and difficult path to peace in the war in Yemen.
