The peace movement “must recognize that war is an instrument of class rule, and that we have to overthrow this enemy and build and new society, on a new basis,” said Ajamu Baraka, one of the keynote speakers at a national conference of the Coalition Against U.S. Foreign Military Bases, in Baltimore. Baraka, the 2016 Green Paty vice presidential candidate, is lead organizer of the Black Alliance for Peace.
