Please join the Costs of War Project for a virtual event on September 1 from 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM Eastern.
In anticipation of the 20-year mark of September 11, 2001 and the subsequent launch of the post-9/11 wars, lead researcher Dr. Neta Crawford will present the Project's updated estimates of the financial and human costs of the past 20 years of war. A panel moderated by The Intercept's Murtaza Hussain featuring Dr. Catherine Lutz and Dr. Linda Bilmes of the Costs of War Project and Dr. Maha Hilal of the Justice for Muslims Collective will discuss the broader implications of these costs. Reflections will also be offered by Representative Barbara Lee, Representative David Cicilline, Representative Ro Khanna, and Senator Jack Reed.

The Costs of War Project is housed at Brown University’s Watson Institute and Boston University’s Pardee Center. The project was launched by a group of scholars and experts to document the unacknowledged costs of the post-9/11 wars in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere. Please find more information at
