Launch Event: Words about War Matter: A Language Guide for Discussing War and Foreign Policy

Discussions of war and foreign policy are full of Orwellian euphemisms, bloodless jargon, little-known government acronyms, and dehumanizing metaphors that hide warfare’s damage. This event will be the official launch of the “Words about War Matter” language guide that aims to help people write and talk about war and foreign policy more accurately, more honestly, and in ways people outside the elite Washington, DC foreign policy “blob” can understand.
