SUMMARY:Say NO to NATO
DESCRIPTION:Say NO to NATO\nTues\, July 11th 5 PM in front of Sen Klobuchar’s office\, 1200 Washington Ave\, Mpls (near the intersection of 35W and Washington Ave.)\nNATO is meeting July 11-12 where they have announced they will put 300\,000 forces on higher readiness\, tighten air & missile defense\, and reaffirm Ukraine’s rightful place is in NATO. At every moment NATO has worked to INCREASE tension in Ukraine. NATO is a military alliance aimed at Russia and has always been seen as a force for aggression. This plus the $46.6 billion the US has sent in military assistance is PROLONGING the conflict. We call for negotiations and for peace which can’t happen while NATO is saber rattling.\nInitiated by MN Peace Action Coalition and co-sponsored by the Anti-War Committee.

SUMMARY:Al Nakba March
DESCRIPTION:Al Nakba March and Protest \nSaturday\, May 20th @ 2pm – gather at Bryant Square Park (3101 Bryant Ave S\, Minneapolis) followed by a march through Uptown  \nFor Palestinians\, May 15 marks Al Nakba\, Arabic for The Catastrophe. During the 1948 war\, at least 750\,000 Palestinians were ruthlessly attacked\, massacred\, and driven from their homes by Zionist terror groups\, and have never been allowed to return\, in violation of international law. 2023 marks 75 years of Israeli land theft\, occupation\, and apartheid.  The U.S. has provided over $50 billion in aid to Israel since 1949\, more than to any other country. Our tax dollars are paying for Israel’s occupation.   \nWe are not talking about Al-Nakba as a historic event but one that is ongoing.  We need to raise our voices and march to denounce the Israeli attacks on the Al Aqsa Mosque where worshipers were violating attacked with rubber-coated bullets\, tear gas\, and stun grenades during Ramadan and to denounce bombing attacks on Gaza.  We must protest the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Jerusalem by Israel. \nJoin us for our annual Al-Nakba protest to demand: \n\nEnd U.S. aid to Israel\nThe state of MN must divest its over 800 million in state pension funds from Israeli companies and bonds\nSpeaking out for Palestine is not a crime!\n\nActivists from MN will attend the national protest in DC on May 13th so we will have our local action the next weekend on May 20th.    \nOrganized by the Anti-War Committee & American Muslims for Palestine – MN \n

SUMMARY:Solidarity Forever: From Minneapolis to Venezuela
DESCRIPTION:Solidarity Forever: From Minneapolis to Venezuela \nWednesday\, March 22nd @ 7pm @ 4200 Cedar Ave S\, Minneapolis\nVenezuela has been under US attack for decades. The country has been subjected to crippling US sanctions that have deprived Venezuelans of food and economic stability. The US has even outrageously kidnapped Venezuelan diplomat Alex Saab in Cape Verde. He is now held in a Miami jail for the “crime” of importing food past the US blockade. On top of all that\, the US has attempted to overthrow the Venezuelan government six times in just the past two decades.\nUS media is complicit in covering up these heinous violations of international law. Two Anti-War Committee members are returning from the Alliance for Global Justice’s Venezuela delegation to do the reporting that the US media refuses to do. Join us on March 22\, 7pm\, at 4200 Cedar Avenue in Minneapolis for a report-back event and Q&A session\, where our members will discuss their firsthand experience seeing the impact of US sanctions on Venezuela’s struggle for liberation.\nOrganized by the Anti-War Committee

SUMMARY:January: Cuba Car Caravan against the US Blockade of Cuba/Caravana contra el Bloqueo
DESCRIPTION:-End the U.S. Blockade of Cuba\n-Take Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism\n\nJoin SCOTA\, the Minnesota Cuba Committee and others for our monthly car caravan against the US blockade of Cuba. Meet us at South High School in Minneapolis or WATCH LIVE on this page.\nThis month we’re focusing on the continuation of Cuba on the list of nations that the U.S. designates as “terrorist.”\nMore than 10\,000 people and 100 progressive advocacy groups have signed an open letter urging President Joe Biden to reverse the Trump administration’s terrorism designation for Cuba and to reinstate Obama-era policy for the island.\nThe international outcry against the U.S. intentional starvation blockade of Cuba is growing. These actions powerfully refute the U.S. claim that Marco Rubio\, Bob Menendez and Ted Cruz anti-Cuba campaign represents us.\n\nNow in their third year\, the public bike and car caravans that started in Miami and led by Cuban-Americans have broken up that myth. Watch this video\, produced by Cuban-Americans in Miami for the September 25 caravans (in Spanish with English subtitles).\nhttps://youtu.be/WNkUgppYJBE\n———————————\nCar caravan details:\nSouth High School parking lot\, 3131 19th Ave So\, Minneapolis\n12:30: Volunteer car marshal training\n1:00: Line up and add signs and flags to cars at South High School parking lot\, 3131 19th Ave So\, Minneapolis. Signs and car flags will be available or bring your own. Caravan sponsors will make brief remarks.\n1:30: Caravan begins – left out of the parking lot on 21st Street\, left on Lake Street\, right on First Ave. South\, left through the Post Office parking lot\, left on Blaisdell and left on Lake back to South High.\n2:30: Brief closing rally at South High parking lot.\nThe lead car will be in contact with participating cars – details will be provided at the rally site. Contact 612-437-0222 for more information or if you’re joining late.\nEl coche líder estará en contacto con los coches participantes – se darán detalles en el lugar del rally. Contacta con el 612-437-0222 para más información o si te apuntas tarde.\n\nTell Biden and Congress:\n-No Delay\, Lift the U.S. blockade NOW!\n-U.S. stop sanctioning Cuban families!\n-End all travel bans on Cuba!\n#UnblockCuba2022\n#LetCubaLive\n\n-Poner fin al bloqueo estadounidense de Cuba\n-Sacar a Cuba de la lista de Estados Patrocinadores del Terrorismo de EE.UU.\nÚnete a SCOTA\, el Comité de Cuba de Minnesota y otros para nuestra caravana mensual contra el bloqueo de EE.UU. a Cuba. Encuéntranos en South High School en Minneapolis o MIRA EN VIVO en esta página.\nEste mes nos enfocamos en la continuación de Cuba en la lista de naciones que los EE.UU. designa como “terroristas”.\nMás de 10\,000 personas y 100 grupos progresistas han firmado una carta abierta urgiendo al presidente Joe Biden a revertir la designación de terrorismo de la administración Trump para Cuba y restablecer la política de la era Obama para la isla.\nEl clamor internacional contra el bloqueo con intención de causar hambre intencionado de Estados Unidos contra Cuba es cada vez mayor. Estas acciones refutan poderosamente la afirmación estadounidense de que la campaña contra Cuba de Marco Rubio\, Bob Menéndez y Ted Cruz nos representa.\nAhora en su tercer año\, las caravanas públicas de bicicletas y automóviles que comenzaron en Miami y son lideradas por cubano-americanos han roto ese mito. Vea este video\, producido por cubano-americanos en Miami para las caravanas del 25 de septiembre (en español con subtítulos en inglés).\nhttps://youtu.be/WNkUgppYJBE\nDile a Biden y al Congreso:\n-No al retraso\, ¡levanten el bloqueo de EE.UU. AHORA!\n-¡Estados Unidos deje de sancionar a las familias cubanas!\n-¡Detengan todas las prohibiciones de viaje a Cuba!\n#UnblockCuba2022\n#LetCubaLive

SUMMARY:International Human Rights Day
DESCRIPTION:International Human Rights Day \n\n Saturday\, December 10th\n1pm – meet at Bryant Square Park\, 3101 Bryant Ave S\, Minneapolis\nUptown march to follow\nThe US uses the language of human rights to justify US intervention in Ukraine and to impose sanctions on Iran\, Venezuela\, and Cuba.\nMeanwhile the U.S. government continuously refuses to act in support of the basic human rights to education\, healthcare\, housing\, and a live-able planet for our children here at home. After the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade\, people in the US are also fighting for women’s and reproductive rights. Lastly\, people of color are targeted by police and killed at an outrageous rate in their own communities.\nThis 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 it in Palestine\, where the U.S. encourages illegal annexations for Israeli settlers\, and funds an ongoing war on Palestinians.\nJoin with us to demand respect for human rights at home and abroad!\nInitiated by the Anti-War Committee.\n#InternationalHumanRightsDay
