Ep 100 The Great Disarmament - The Great Disfarmament Part 12: Arms & Arguments

The Great Disarmament Part 12: Arms & Arguments – When Peace Learned to Speak Up. In an era dominated by Cold War brinkmanship, something remarkable happened. Peace became public. From the Nuclear Freeze movement to televised debates, this 100th episode of the Peace is Here Podcast tracks how citizens learned to speak up, protest, and challenge the very premise of global militarism.

We explore the 1980s and ’90s not as a triumph of treaties, but as the moment peace gained fluency—in arguments, in law, and in imagination.

We also remind ourselves: disarmament is not a speedy process, and it is never guaranteed. But it happens. And we are still part of it.

Featuring historian Howard Zinn and James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time.
