Expanding Draft Registration to Women is Progessive, Right? Guess Again
10/25/21 • 65 min
Congress is poised to expand draft registration to young women. Some argue it's a sign of equal rights, of progressive feminist values. But during a panel at the 2021 Peace and Justice Studies Association Conference, three remarkable speakers debunk that theory and explain why the draft should be abolished once and for all. The panel was called “Intersectionality & the U.S. Military Draft" and features Rivera Sun, Edward Hasbrouck, Sebastian Muñoz-McDonald (and Rosa del Duca. )
