Desiree Hellegers, John Linder Portland anti-war activism since the first Gulf War

Desiree Hellegers interviews John Linder on the history of Portland anti-war activism since the first Gulf War.

Desiree mentions the Rally and March w/ Portland Peace and Justice Works Iraq Affinity Group and Portland Peaceful Response Coalition on Friday, January 15, 2016, 4:30-6:00 PM at Pioneer Courthouse Square, SW Yamhill and Broadway, to demand an End to 25 Years of Killing: US Out of Iraq.

Linder reminisces about organizing in Portland against the first Gulf War in 1991, holding vigils at Pioneer Courthouse Square, building momentum, and organizing with a wide variety of concerned Portlanders. He notes the legacy of that organizing in the founding of various groups, including Portland Peace and Justice Works, and in the greater sophistication of local organizing against the second Gulf War in 2003. The legacy of the first Gulf War itself lies in the USA's ongoing military presence and the blowback against it.
