Join us for an afternoon workshop with panels, presentations and action planning on US bases and militarisation in Australia, Japan and the Pacific.

Our two special guests are Lisa Natividad and Julian Aguon, two Chamoru activists from Guahan (Guam) who are campaigning against US military bases on their land. As the Pentagon prepares to move thousands of Marines from Okinawa to Guam, find out about the struggle for indigenous self-determination in the Pacific and Australia's links to regional militarisation.
