UNAC Conference 2020
February 21, 2020 - February 23, 2020
UNAC Conference 2020: Rise Against Militarism, Racism and the Climate Crisis Building Power Together A National Conference
February 21-23 @ the People’s Forum 320 West 37th Street (between 8th & 9th Avenues) New York, NY 10018
Organized by the United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC) has made great strides since its 2017 conference which was held in Richmond, Virginia. Since that time new organizations have joined our coalition. Our members have traveled as part of delegations to Venezuela, Ukraine, Syria and Cuba. We have held conferences on U.S./NATO military bases in Baltimore, Maryland and Dublin, Ireland. We have organized against the militarization of police departments, AFRICOM, and punishing sanctions against other nations. Our members prevented the illegal Venezuelan coup government from taking over the Washington embassy, while others walked picket lines with striking workers. In 2020 we mobilize against ecocide, white supremacist policy and war in all its forms. We gather to put the issue of peace before the voters in an election year and to protest against anti-immigrant policies. Our principles of unity will be strengthened as we gather to stop the wars at home and abroad. The UNAC conference will be a place where we deepen that unity and build the our movement for the next stage of struggle. FFI: https://www.
