The factors that drive displacement are often complex, but welcoming refugees isn't.

A personal recollection on the day that launched the Iraq War — and its lessons for us 18 years later.

We’ve had 18 years to learn that the costs of war are just too high. We must end the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and the next time our leaders inevitably argue for the necessity of war, it’s up to us to resist.  

The Biden administration is bending rules to drop bombs but not raise wages. That’s a mistake.

It’s time for a different foreign policy that respects the rule of law, respects the sovereignty of other nations, and respects human life in all nations.

The United States' reentry to the Paris Climate Agreement is critical, but far from the sufficient. The path to a livable future requires new internationalism rooted in global cooperation, resource sharing, and solidarity.

Biden’s order rolling back for-profit prisons is a good first step. Next we need to end for-profit immigration detention.

I’m glad Biden repealed Trump’s Muslim ban, but the work of repairing the harm is just beginning.

The first days of the Biden administration brought a deeply welcome spate of reversals of Trump policies, ranging from the reversal of the racist Muslim immigration ban to the nixing of the Keystone XL pipeline. But on one huge front, the Biden administration has yet to signal any major breaks from Trump’s legacy: the vast overreach of the Pentagon.

It’s urgent not to return to the previous status quo. It’s time for creative thinking and bold action.
