As our national conversation on systemic racism continues, Foreign Policy for America partnered with WCAPS (Women of Color Advancing Peace, Security, and Conflict Transformation) and Colombe Foundation for the second in a series of conversations on race and foreign policy. In this discussion, we hosted a panel of distinguished leaders for a discussion on the increasing militarization of American foreign policy and whether the U.S. perceives and responds differently to threats emanating from communities of color abroad.
Panelists included:
Salih Booker, President and CEO, Center for International Policy
Rep. Veronica Escobar (D-TX), Member House Armed Services Committee and Judiciary Committee
Bishop Garrison, Director of National Security Outreach, Human Rights First
Rob Malley, President and CEO, International Crisis Group; former Special Assistant to President Obama and White House Coordinator for the Middle East, North Africa and Gulf Regions
Moderator: Dini Merz, Executive Director, Colombe Foundation
