Let's move beyond lipstick and hockey pucks to investigate what real national security looks like.
On this edition, an all-women panel examines how issues of national security impact our daily lives, and ask the tough questions about how to build a better future. Does the solution lie in our military or social policies? What are women doing to ensure security in their communities and in the world at large? And how does the militarization of our budget affect security in other areas of our lives?
Hosted by GRIT TV personality Laura Flanders, produced by The Media Consortium, and adapted for radio by Making Contact.
