Countless lies were told to propel the invasion of Iraq, and two decades later many such lies are still being told. To end current wars and prevent new ones, we need to set the record straight. That’s why RootsAction Education Fund is inviting you to a special livestream event -- a free screening of the acclaimed documentary War Made Easy: How Presidents and Pundits Keep Spinning Us to Death, followed by a panel that will illuminate how wars get started and how they can be prevented or stopped. To see more information and to reserve your spot for this online event on Monday, March 20, click here.  You can join us for the free livestream screening of War Made Easy at 6:45 pm ET and/or plan to join us for the live panel presentation at 8 pm ET on March 20. You also have an option to watch the documentary online any time before then, courtesy of the Media Education Foundation, which produced the film and is offering free access to it for the next week only.  Some comments about the War Made Easy film: - Howard Zinn: “Superb”
