David Swanson speaks in L.A. May 10th on

We are working to end ALL WAR with WorldBeyondWar.org. Progressive Pacifica L.A. radio host Lila Garrett (Connect the Dots) will introduce David Swanson, who is the host of "Talk Nation Radio." He helped plan the nonviolent occupation of Freedom Plaza in Washington D.C. in 2011, having worked as a reporter and press secretary for the 2004 presidential campaign of Dennis Kucinich.

• Kucinich will be in on the other side of town at the same time at rival UCLA's campus for the United We Stand Festival, a rap/hip-hop college concert with Wu-Tang Clan, Public Enemy, Luminaries, Immortal Technique, Jill Stein, and Marianne Williamson...

He was also communications coordinator for the targeted and wrongly tainted ACORN and Secretary of Peace in the Green Shadow Cabinet. Swanson's books include War No More: The Case for Abolition, War Is A Lie, When the World Outlawed War, and The Military Industrial Complex at 50 (all of which he will be signing). Find his blogs at DavidSwanson.org and WarIsaCrime.org and WarIsaLie.org. More
