SUMMARY:Call in day: Free Palestine!
DESCRIPTION:We are no longer having a visibility bannering as part of the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network’s global week of action. Instead we will be organizing a call in day.  #GreatReturnMarch #LandDay \nOn March 30\, 1976\, Land Day marked a turning point as the first mass mobilization by Palestinians within Israel against colonialism and land theft. Israeli police shot and killed six Palestinian citizens of Israel for protesting the Israeli government’s expropriation of Palestinian land. Land Day’s significance in the Palestinian political calendar was compounded in 2018\, when hundreds were killed and thousands injured by Israeli sniper fire as Palestinians demanded their Right of Return to their stolen land with mass protests in Gaza\, called the Great March of Return. \nOrganized by the Anti-War Committee \nPlease call Sen Klobuchar at 202-224-3244 or 612-727-5220 and demand she change her position on U.S. aid to Israel. Below is a script you can use: \n“Sen Klobuchar\, we demand you support peace and justice in Palestine.  Your support for apartheid Israel undermines all efforts for justice\, and therefore peace.  The Covid-19 pandemic means even greater misery for Palestinians in the West Bank\, and the Gaza open air prison.  In response to the pandemic the Israeli government has increased the repression of Palestinians\, not addressed their health needs.  Your support for keeping the US embassy in Jerusalem\, your pledge to continue U.S. aid to Israel\, your pledge to increase support for Israel if elected president emphasizes your support for human rights atrocities by the government of Israel.  As your constituents we are disappointed that you voted for an anti-BDS (Boycott Divest Sanctions) bill which criminalizes free speech critical of Israel’s human rights abuses. As your constituents we disapprove of the way you tried to play us by saying you would not attend the 2020 AIPAC conference on 2/26 and then on 2/28 sending the conference a supportive video message. We support the Boycott\, Divest and Sanction movement and the Palestinian Right of Return!  End US Aid to Israel! End the Blockade of Gaza and other Human Rights Abuses of Palestinians!”

SUMMARY:Free Palestine:  Say No to Trump's "Peace Plan"
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, January 31st @ 5pm @ the Mpls Federal Building @ 4th St and 4th Ave in downtown Minneapolis \n On 1/28 President Trump announced with Prime Minister Netanyahu their “deal of the century\,” which they admit had zero Palestinian input. In fact\, the Palestinians have rejected it already! \n Trump’s plan legitimizes Israeli settlements and steals even more Palestinian West Bank land for Israel.  Additionally\, the U.S. continues to arm Israel to the teeth despite Israel’s attacks and blockade which starves Palestinians in Jerusalem\, the West Bank\, and what has become an open air prison in Gaza. \n Join us to send a message of solidarity to Palestine\, and a strong message to Trump and all the presidential candidates that we will support the Palestinian people’s resistance to this plan in Palestine\, in the U.S.\, and everywhere else. \nCo-sponsored by the Anti-War Committee & Women Against Military Madness.

SUMMARY:Human Rights Day Protest
DESCRIPTION:Human Rights Day Protest\n\n\nTuesday\, December 10th @ 4:30 pm outside of Senator Klobuchar’s office\, 1200 S Washington Ave (Washington Ave & 35W)\, Minneapolis\n\n\n \n\n\nWe will rally at Senator Klobuchar’s office followed by a march to May Day Books at 301 Cedar Ave. S. where we will have a closing rally inside. Together we will draw attention to US human rights abuses at home and abroad on December 10th – Human Rights Day. The US uses the language of human rights to impose sanctions on Iran\, Venezuela\, and Cuba. Meanwhile Trump has denied thousands of asylum seekers their human rights at the US-Mexico border. Trump has used hate speech against Muslims in the United States and banned them from entering from war torn countries. And the U.S. government continuously refuses to act in support of the basic human rights to education\, healthcare\, housing and work. Lastly\, people of color are targeted by police and killed at an outrageous rate in their own communities. This comes on top of longstanding US wars and interventions\, which NEVER bring human rights. Instead\, they brutally subject the people’s of the world to occupation and instability\, while stealing their natural resources and suppressing their rights to self-determination. We see this clearly in Bolivia this month where the U.S. is supporting a coup! And we see it in Palestine\, where the U.S. encourages illegal annexations for Israeli settlers\, and funds the violent siege of Gaza. Join with us to demand respect for human rights at home and abroad! \n\n\n \n\n\nInitiated by the Anti-War Committee.

SUMMARY:Protest Trump & the Republican Party's Bigotry
DESCRIPTION:Protest Trump & the Republican Party’s Bigotry\nSunday\, November 10th @ noon @ the MN GOP Headquarters\, 7400 Metro Blvd\, Edina\, MN \n\nTrump lies lead to a rise in hate crimes in every county where he held a campaign rally in 2016.

SUMMARY:Tell Gov Walz to Stop Funding Border Walls!
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, September 16th @ 5:30 pm \nPicket outside the Governor’s Mansion\, 1006 Summit Ave\, St. Paul on the anniversary of the Sabra and Shatila massacres in Palestine \nThe MN State Board of Investments\, which Gov. Walz chairs\, holds $1.2 million in shares in Elbit Systems. Elbit Systems is Israel’s largest weapons company\, and is currently under contract with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security to build a 53-tower “Integrated Fixed Towers” security project on the US-Mexico border. Continuing to invest in Elbit Systems perpetuates a system of militarization of the border and the resulting deaths of migrants trying to cross.  \nElbit Systems’ border militarization technology was also deployed against the Palestinian people. 95% of their sales come from weapons alone. They are currently the world’s leading exporter of military and surveillance drones. Elbit also makes cluster munitions and white phosphorus shells – both of which are banned under international law. \nJoin us to tell Gov. Walz Elbit Systems should be disqualified as a candidate for the investment of retirement funds for the State of Minnesota. #BDS #MNDivestfromElbit \nOrganized by the Anti-War Committee

SUMMARY:BDS at the State Capitol
DESCRIPTION:BDS at the State Capitol\n\nThursday\, May 30th fromt 9:45 AM – 12 PM @ Minnesota State Capitol\, 75 Rev Dr Martin Luther King Jr Blvd\, Saint Paul\, Minnesota 55155\nBDS supporters are going to the next State Board of InvestmentI meeting on May 30\, 2019 at 10:00 am in the State Capitol Room G23 in St. Paul to ask them to divest from several companies. The State Board of Investment (SBI) has been investing your tax dollars in companies like: Elbit Systems – manufacturer of drones\, weapons systems\, ammunition and surveillance systems\, all “battle-tested” (meaning tested out on captive Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank). The weapons are sold around the world to countries which violate human rights. The surveillance equipment is being sold to the US for use at the US/Mexico border. Bezeq Telecom Co. – which provides telecommunications equipment to the illegal settlements\, checkpoints and army bases in the West Bank and Golan Heights. Palestinian telecom companies must use the Israeli infrastructure and Israel does not allow more than 3G networks for Palestinians. Bank Hapoalim\, Bank Leumi and Mizrahi Tefahot Bank – these banks are heavily involved in illegal settlement construction\, including infrastructure development and home mortgages. We think the State of Minnesota should not be involved in companies like these\, which flagrantly violate international law. The SBI’s investment guidelines should prohibit such investments. There will be four speakers who will present facts and make our requests. The rest of us are there to show support and solidarity\, to tweet\, write letters to the editor\, and report on how the Board reacts. If you would like to carpool or need a ride\, please reply to mn@breakthebonds.org and let me know your needs. We will try to accommodate you. Minnesota Break the Bonds Campaign is working with allied organizations including Middle East Peace Now (MEPN)\, Jewish Voice for Peace-Twin Cities (JVP-TC)\, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP)\, Students for Justice in Palestine-UMN (SJP-UMN)\, Women Against Military Madness-Middle East Committee (WAMM-ME)\, and a lot more (together we are called the MN BDS Community) on this campaign.  Organized by Women Against Military Madness.
