War At Home, War Abroad

Our first Episode of It's Kairos Time! Season 2 "War At Home, War Abroad" highlights the impact of the war economy on U.S. communities, particularly immigrants and the homeless. Gabriela Viera from Detention Watch Network and Eric Tars from the National Homelessness Law Center explain how militarized spending has led to increased immigration detention and surveillance, causing harm and terror in border regions. Eric links the rise of homelessness to Reagan-era policies and the shift towards military spending. Both emphasize the need for a shift from a war economy to one rooted in care and dignity, advocating for policies that address housing, healthcare, and economic security.Additional Resources: https://www.thenation.com/article/society/the-moral-failure-of-the-grants-pass-decision/ Support the showBuilding a movement to end poverty, led by the poor.Visit KairosCenter.orgTo support our work visit kairoscenter.org/donateSubscribe to our mobile list by texting "KAIROS" to 833-577-1315
