Chris Motia
Advocacy Ambassador
"U.S. bombing campaigns have left a legacy we should be careful not to forget. Five decades after Operation Rolling Thunder and Operation Linebacker, children still lose limbs playing after school. That is the work I want to do: to advocate for the people living with the all-too-often-forgotten consequences of American military force, especially as leaders around the world appear increasingly eager to reach for those instruments again."
