Media Advisory for March 4—Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (HI-02) will deliver a foreign policy speech at Brown University's Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs. She will discuss the need for foreign policy that secures our nation, an end to counterproductive, interventionist wars, the need to end the new Cold War and nuclear arms race that threatens our security and costs trillions of American taxpayer dollars – dollars that should be invested in the needs of our people and our future. Following the lecture, the congresswoman will engage in a discussion with Watson Senior Fellow Stephen Kinzer.
