SUMMARY:#StandWithThe 6 - Online Forum
DESCRIPTION:#StandWithThe 6 – Online Forum\nThursday\, November 18 at 7pm online \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/4693075384089660\nFeaturing Husam Marajda\, co chair of the Chicago chapter of USPCN\nIn October 2021\, Israeli Defense Minister Benny Gantz outlawed six leading Palestinian human rights groups\, labeling them “terrorist organizations” and accusing them of serving as fronts for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). Gantz’s executive order criminalized Al-Haq\, Addameer\, Bisan Center\, Defense for Children International-Palestine\, the Union for Agricultural Work Committees\, and the Union of Palestinian Women’s Committees. No trials were held\, nor were these groups given the opportunity to respond to the accusations against them.\nThese six groups do essential advocacy work and provide critical assistance to Palestinian civil society. The Anti-War Committee has seen some of their work first-hand.\nCome hear about why this attack on Palestinian civil society organizations is significant and how US aid to Israel encourages these attacks.\nTo read our statement on #StandWithThe6 go to:\nhttps://antiwarcommittee.org/2021/11/01/9433/\nOrganized by the Anti-War Committee

SUMMARY:#646DropTheCharges Protest and Dance Party
DESCRIPTION:#646DropTheCharges Protest and Dance Party \nSaturday. October 16th @  6 PM @ Painter Park\, 620 W 34th St\, Minneapolis \nWe will not be intimidated by the state repression of our right to protest! We will continue to fight together for all charges to be dropped!  Meet us at Painter Park (620 W 34th St\, Minneapolis) at 6 PM for a dance party/protest.  Be safe\, be visible\, wear a mask. \nBring good vibes and revolutionary spirit! \nDemands: \n1) We demand the charges be dropped for all 646+ protesters arrested on 1-94 November 4th 2020. \n2) We demand community control of the police now. We want a publicly elected Civilian Police Accountability Commission in Minneapolis. We want power back in the hands of community members; those killer cops have got to go! \n646 Explained: On November 4\, 2020 hundreds of protesters took to the streets of Minneapolis to demand justice after the murder of #GeorgeFloyd by the #MPD demanding #Trump not steal the election\, demanding a stop to police crimes\, and demanding that our elected officials be responsible to the people. As the demonstration was headed off highway 94 onto 25th Ave S (after getting on at Cedar Ave) the protesters were “kettled” by a combination of heavily armed (and maskless) local and federal police forces including the national guard. The police held protesters on the highway for 6 hours\, blocking both sides of the major highway. The community members were then piled into buses and released at random locations across the metro area\, leaving minors as far as the Mall of America. In this one night 646 peaceful protesters were charged. \nOrganized by Twin Cities Coalition for Justice for Jamar.  Endorsed by the Anti-War Committee.

SUMMARY:Deadly Exchange: Israel and U.S.
DESCRIPTION:Deadly Exchange: Israel and U.S.  \nThursday\, August 12th @ 7 PM online\nZoom: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83334769540\nSince 2002\, thousands of US law enforcement officials have trained with Israeli military forces in the context of the “War on Terror\,” learning about Israeli methods and technologies of surveillance\, racial profiling\, and suppression of protest. As Black Lives Matter and other social movements seek accountability and an end to police violence\, why are US police departments training with occupying Israeli forces? How do we resist the militarization of police and the criminalization of US citizens and immigrants? And how is the movement for Justice in Palestine organizing for justice and real safety from the US to Palestine? Speaker Eran Efrati is the executive director of Researching the American-Israeli Alliance  (RAIA)\, and an investigative researcher into the Israeli military and arms industry. He has worked with the  International Criminal Court and participated in both independent and UN investigations into Israeli military  operations. His investigative reports have appeared in The New York Times\, The Washington Post\, and  The Guardian\, among others. He currently serves as chair of the board for Jewish Voice for Peace\, and his  research focuses on military and police partnerships between the United States and Israel.  Organized by Women Against Military Madness/End Domestic Militarism Committee and endorsed by the Anti-War Committee.

SUMMARY:PROTEST AT KLOBUCHAR'S: END AID TO ISRAEL
DESCRIPTION:PROTEST AT KLOBUCHAR’S: END AID TO ISRAEL\nThursday August 5th at 5PM\n 1200 S Washington Ave\, Minneapolis\, MN 55415\n\nIsrael is the largest recipient of U.S. foreign aid in the world. The U.S. gave $3.8 billion in aid to Israel in 2020\, most of it in military assistance. Our taxpayer dollars are being spent to kill\, terrorize\, imprison\, and threaten Palestinians.\nIsrael’s May offensive in Gaza killed at least 260 Palestinians\, including 66 children\, and caused widespread damage to infrastructure and residential areas. The UN estimates the offensive’s cost to the Gaza Strip to be $290-380 million dollars and that 62% of the population is food-insecure. Gaza is referred to as “the world’s largest open air prison” because Palestinians are trapped there without access to jobs\, clean water\, and medical supplies. We need to demand an end to the blockade of Gaza!\n\nSimilarly\, in May Israeli settlers and the Israeli government increased their efforts in the West Bank to create new settlements and to push Palestinians out of their homes in a new wave of ethnic cleansing. Israel has a long history of using force\, home demolitions and Israeli law to push Palestinians off their lands and out of their homes to establish settlements\, which the UN has declared violate international law. Palestinians are resisting ethnic cleansing and need our solidarity!\n\nMN’s Representatives McCollum and Omar are sponsoring The Defending the Human Rights of Palestinian Children and Families Living Under Israeli Military Occupation Act (HR 2590) which would prevent U.S. funds from being used by Israel to oppress the Palestinian people\, take their land\, bulldoze their homes\, and numerous other actions that have undermined peace and justice. Congress has the power and the responsibility to help stop these atrocities. The Senate must put forward similar bills. Join us in calling on Senator Klobuchar to take action for Palestine!\n\nOrganized by the Anti-War Committee and American Muslims for Palestine – MN.

SUMMARY:Bannering: Solidarity with Cuba and Haiti
DESCRIPTION:Bannering: Solidarity with Cuba and Haiti \nThursday\, July 29 @5pm at Mayday Plaza in front of Mayday books near 301 Cedar Ave\, Minneapolis\, MN 55454 \nJoin us at May Day Plaza for a solidarity bannering. \nHands off Cuba!\nEnd the Embargo!\nNo troops in Haiti!\nUS out of Latin America and the Caribbean! \nCome show solidarity with the people of Cuba and Haiti who have been recently targeted by U.S. intervention attempts. In the last couple weeks U.S. media has explicitly used imagery of several protests “for freedom” to drum up support for U.S. intervention. \nCuba has been under U.S. embargo for 60 years that has specifically impacted Cuba’s ability recently to respond to import necessary medical supplies during the COVID-19 pandemic. Cuba was forced to develop their own COVID-19 vaccine\, but have had limited access to syringes. \nOn July 7th\, Haiti’s President Jovenel Moïse was assassinated by a group of Colombian and US mercenaries\, many who were trained by the U.S. at the School of the Americas. \nWe denounce these U.S. attempts to force their hand via intervention in the Caribbean. \nInitiated by the Anti-War Committee.

SUMMARY:Protest Northrup Grumman: End Weapons Sales to Israel!
DESCRIPTION:Protest Northrup Grumman: End Weapons Sales to Israel!\nThursday\, May 27th @ 3pm @ Northrup Grumman\, 4700 Nathan Ln N\, Plymouth\, MN\nJoin us to protest Northrup Grumman’s role as a weapons manufacture here in MN which makes weapons which are being used by Israel in its military attacks on Gaza. In 2017\, it was the fifth largest arms–producing and military services company in the world and the third largest government contractor in the United States. Northrop Grumman made $25.8 billion in total sales in 2017\, of which 85 percent came from U.S. Government sales and 13 percent came from international customers and Foreign Military Sales. Northrop Grumman provides the Israeli military with the Longbow system for Apache AH64D helicopters. The Longbow system\, a joint venture with Lockheed Martin\, consists of the Longbow Hellfire missile (AGM-114L) and a fire-control radar (AN/APG-78). The company also produces key parts for the F-35\, a fighter jet manufactured by Lockheed Martin that Israel acquired through the United States government’s Foreign Military Sales program. Northrop Grumman produces approximately 35% of the Lockheed Martin F-35 aircraft\, including its center fuselage\, radar\, avionics\, electro-optics\, navigation\, communications and identification subsystems\, and mission systems and mission-planning software. The company also manages pilot and maintainer training systems software as well as the team’s use\, support\, and maintenance of low-observable technologies. Northrop Grumman also makes the AN/APG-68(V)9 Multimode Fire Control Radar for the F-16.Northrop Grumman Italia provided the Israeli Air Force with its LISA-200 Attitude Heading Reference System (AHRS) for a fleet of M-346 advanced trainer aircrafts. The company manufactured and provided Israel with its Sa’ar 5 Eilat Class corvettes\, which are missile ships used to enforce the siege of Gaza.\nFor more information about the role Northrup Grumman has in making weapons for Israel go here: https://investigate.afsc.org/company/northrop-grumman.\nProtest is organized by American Muslims for Palestine\, Anti-War Committee\, Jewish Voice for Peace\, and If Not Now.
