This week, Josh Shurley talks with guest Will Hopkins for a special 9/11 episode. WIll Hopkins is the former executive director of New Hampshire Peace Action, a former combat infantryman and Iraq War veteran, and an organizer with Veterans For Peace Chapter 62. The two will discuss the legacy of  9/11 and what lessons could be applied to better understand the escalatory nature of current foreign policy dynamics, and the role of grassroots activism in countering the power of rampant militarism.

Stir It Up - Sep 11, 2024

This week (while the COP29 global climate talks are underway in Azerbaijan), Josh Shurley talks with Janet Weil of the Climate Crisis and Militarism Project (CCMP), a national project of Veterans For Peace.  The two discuss the often poorly understood linkages between global greenhouse gas emissions (which are fueling the climate disaster) and rampant US militarism. American aircraft, ships, and equipment consume massive amounts of fossil fuels in addition to the toxins released when ordinance is exploded and soil and water contaminated as a result of US-funded wars around the globe. The public must be mobilized to push the Pentagon to report and reduce its enormous greenhouse gas emissions, and to push Congress to redirect tax dollars to respond to the existential threat of climate change. The future of our children and grandchildren depend on it.

PASTOR STEPHEN BELLO || YOU OUGHT TO PRAY WITHOUT CEASING || 1ST JUNE 2025 || THANKSGIVING SERVICE

In this episode, Josh speaks with Mike Ferner of Veterans For Peace about the 40-day Fast for Gaza - a somber yet defiant campaign to confront the starvation and bombing of Palestinians carried out with U.S. support. They discuss the heartbreak and outrage fueling the fast, the growing crackdown on dissent at home, and the hope sparked by Fresno-area activists joining the call for justice. Listeners are urged to bear witness and to take action.

Stir It Up - June 11, 2025

Today Josh Shurley speaks with Dr. Jim Rine of the Climate Crisis & Militarism Project (of Veterans For Peace) about an often-overlooked driver of global warming: militarism. Dr. Rine explains how armed forces and warfighting infrastructures are massive, largely unreported sources of greenhouse-gas emissions; how defense spending and military priorities divert trillions away from climate mitigation and human needs; and how geopolitical strategies frequently protect fossil-fuel interests rather than confronting fossil dependence. The conversation connects local impacts (jet pollution, community health, and the costs of militarized parades and airshows) with global consequences, and it outlines concrete steps students, activists, and communities can take. The episode closes with a call to join Veterans For Peace’s “Wake Up to the Climate Crisis” tour, including a screening of Earth’s Greatest Enemy at Fresno City College on Thursday, October 16.

On November 12, Josh Shurley spoke with Dr. Olga Garcia, a physician, veteran, and member of Veterans For Peace, about the moral and medical dimensions of war and peace. She discussed her journey from military service to activism, her frustration with the silence of the medical profession in the face of injustice, and the urgent need for doctors to speak out for human rights and universal healthcare. The conversation connected Armistice Day/Veteran's Day’s original call for peace with today’s struggles — from Gaza to the U.S. — reminding us that healing must include resistance to militarism itself.
