About Doug: While here I became involved in an organizing effort within the Astro department on demilitarization, which permitted me to get in touch with a lot of lovely, admirable people from across the US and UK all doing really exciting work. About Isabel: I've been grappling for a long time with the entanglement between space science and militarized imperialism, and have recently found labor organizing as a tool to change and reimagine the field I love. I organize with UAW 4811, Researchers Against War (RAW), and Jews Against White Supremacy (JAWS).” At the bottom of the slide says “Space Science in Context 2024: Justice in Action.”
