The Military University: How Universities Embed Students into the Military-Industrial Complex
September 24th, 8 p.m. EDT
We are faced with an alarming precedent in which research universities collude with the military-industrial complex in increasingly invasive ways.
Students’ technological advances are integrated into life-ending rather than life-affirming equipment, and schools funnel graduating students directly into corporate defense.
Our speaker is Marine Corps veteran Crystal Kim, who witnessed the Israeli government’s mistreatment and apartheid against the Palestinian people, especially during her trips into the West Bank. After leaving service, she became aware of the degree of U.S. military’s involvement in the Middle East and everywhere else, and after the current genocide in Palestine began in 2023, Crystalhelped to found UCSB Researchers Against War (RAW).

Our Mission. . .
. . . of economic justice is to engage, educate, and activate Unitarian Universalist individuals and congregations, social-justice groups, and their community partners to fulfill our vision of positive systemic change. Using a process of study, reflection, strategy, and direct action, we work collaboratively “to change the economic story from Empire to Earth Community”.
Our Vision
UUJEC envisions a world that nourishes and sustains all living beings, where all people share the riches of the planet, where all voices are heard, where democratic process is practiced, where the inherent worth and dignity of every person is recognized and affirmed as set forth in our Unitarian Universalist principles.
Who We Are
Unitarian Universalists for a Just Economic Community (UUJEC) is a vibrant progressive organization committed to economic justice for all. Our philosophy is rooted in the UU liberal religious tradition—to create a world of justice, equity, and compassion. Our work contributes to a broader movement for social change, in collaboration with the UUA, UU Service Committee and grassroots organizations. We seek to inspire and help UUs to study our society’s economic and social systems and advocate for justice issues such as The Green New Deal and Single Payer healthcare.
