DESCRIPTION:šŸšØ EMERGENCY PROTEST: the military attack on Iran is escalating! \nāš ļø URGENT: Israel has issued a 24-hour evacuation warning to the residents of District 3 of Tehran. President Trump has now committed to partnering with Israel in its escalation against Iran and has given the Iranian leaders 24-48 hours to Ā ā€œsurrenderā€ unconditionally. A full-scale US and Israeli bombardment is on the horizon. \nWe are witnessing a repetition of the same pretexts the US imperial machine used to justify the war in Iraq. 224 Iranians have already been killed. \nšŸ“£ WE HAVE TO SAY NO TO US BOMBING OF IRAN! \nšŸ“ Federal Building (300 S 4th Street\, Minneapolis\, MN) \nšŸ“… Thursday\, June 19th \nā° 5:30 PM \norganized by the Free Palestine Coalition URL:https://antiwarcommittee.org/event/emergency-protest-hands-off-iran/ END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20250616T170000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20250616T180000 DTSTAMP:20260811T125425 CREATED:20250614T020121Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250614T020121Z UID:11523-1750093200-1750096800@antiwarcommittee.org SUMMARY:Emergency Response Protest: No War on Iran DESCRIPTION:Emergency Protest: No War on IranMonday\, June 16 @ 5pm @ May Day Plaza\, 301 Cedar Ave. S\, Minneapolis\nJoin us to say:Stop US Intervention in the Middle EastEnd US Aid to Israel \nInitiated by MN Peace Action Coalition URL:https://antiwarcommittee.org/event/emergency-response-protest-no-war-on-iran/ LOCATION:May Day Plaza\, 301 Cedar Ave. S.\, Minneapolis CATEGORIES:Protest ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://antiwarcommittee.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/691fd1a8a72df7cf0de1e901ed7a49c61072d955037a47dc1a4492f62c387e85.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=UTC:20250613T170000 DTEND;TZID=UTC:20250613T190000 DTSTAMP:20260811T125425 CREATED:20250606T001152Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250606T001231Z UID:11491-1749834000-1749841200@antiwarcommittee.org SUMMARY:Oppose Trumpā€™s agenda!

Divest Minnesota from Israel! \nā€¼ļø Rally outside the DFLā€™s annual Humphrey-Mondale Dinner fundraiser\nšŸ“ The Minneapolis Hilton\, 1001 Marquette Ave.\nšŸ—“ļø Friday\, June 13\nā° 5 PM \nIsraelā€™s genocide is becoming undeniable. On top of daily bombings of schools and hospitals\, Israeli forces have now repeatedly killed dozens of Palestinians trying to access food at Israelā€™s much-criticized distribution sites. Even major U.S. allies are beginning to cut support for Israelā€™s ethnic cleansing system in Palestine. \nJoin us to demand our state leaders join them by divesting Minnesota funds\, managed by the State Board of Investment\, from Israel. Governor Tim Walz\, Attorney General Keith Ellison\, State Auditor Julie Blaha and Secretary of State Steve Simon make up the SBIā€™s board members and are prominent DFLers. They have the power to take action against both the ongoing genocide\, and against Trumpā€™s extremist\, full throttle attacks on all fronts\, domestically and abroad. \nState divestment from Israel would not only weaken support for its massacres in Palestine ā€” it would send an important message that Minnesota is ready to fight Trumpā€™s agenda across the board. \nItā€™s time for the SBI and DFL members to do whatā€™s right:Ā  Oppose Trumpā€™s agenda!

No items appear to be missing. Photos are attached. \nThe AWC believes this to be a targeted\, politically motivated attack. The committee has organized since 1998 against U.S. imperialism and militarism\, including playing a lead role in major pro-Palestine protests in the Twin Cities since Israelā€™s genocide in Gaza escalated in October 2023. \nOrganizers will hold a press conference at the damaged office with local leaders including Minneapolis Council Member Aisha Chughtai\, on Monday at 1 p.m. In addition to journalists\, community members are invited to attend to stand in solidarity against all attempts to silence progressive organizing in the current period. \nā€œWith political violence and repression on the rise under the Trump administration\, it does not surprise us to be targeted\,ā€ said AWC member Gabriel Miller. ā€œStanding in solidarity with Palestine\, immigrants\, workers and the Black Lives Matter movement\, we understand that an attack on us is an attack on all. We are not deterred by this political violence. We will continue to raise our voices louder than ever in support of oppressed peoples at home and abroad.ā€ \nĀ  \nThe 4200 Cedar complex has served as a meeting space for grassroots movement organizations since 2012.

This was the first detention after Trump ordered the State Department to deport students affiliated with pro-Palestine activism. Khalil is a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. (Green card holder) and his arrest is an unlawful violation of freedom of speech and immigration laws. Trumpā€™s Executive Order 13899 requires ā€œthe Secretary of State\, the Secretary of Education\, and the Secretary of Homeland Security\, in consultation with each other [ā€¦] report activities by alien students and staff relevant to those grounds and for ensuring that such reports about aliens lead\, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law\, to investigations and\, if warranted\, actions to remove such aliens.ā€ \nOn February 28\, The Department of Justice announced that a Federal Task Force to ā€œCombat Antisemitismā€ would visit ten college campuses that ā€œexperienced incidents of antisemitism.ā€ Trumpā€™s administration conflates antisemitism with anti-zionism and criminalizes students\, staff\, and faculty who have protested a deadly genocide that in 16 months killed over 62\,000 people in Gaza. This is a Title VI violation and discrimination against Muslim\, Palestinian\, and Middle Eastern students\, faculty\, and staff. Columbia University and University of Minnesota are among campuses under investigation. \nMeredith Aby\, an organizer with the MN Anti-War Committee explains\, ā€œColumbia University has repeatedly targeted Khalil for his Palestinian identity and activism. He was a lead negotiator during the Gaza Solidarity Encampment last spring and has been outspoken against the genocide. Similarly\, UMN has criminalized student protesters with arrests and suspensions and fired and unhired faculty and staff for opposing the genocide in Gaza. We are concerned that UMN will follow suit and submit information to allow the detention of MN students\, faculty\, and staff for participating in protests. The racist targeting of Khalil aims to instill fear in pro-Palestine activists as well as a warning to others at all university campuses. We are organizing this protest to show community support for the pro-Palestine student movement.ā€ \nAby continued\, ā€œ We are joining with the national call for March 11th to say NO to the McCarthyesque witch-hunt at our universities and to condemn the weaponization of antisemitism to justify anti-Muslim and anti-Palestinian racism. Free Mahmoud Khalil Now!ā€ \nThe protest is organized by the MN Anti-War Committee\, UMN Educators for Justice in Palestine\, UMN Students for a Democratic Society\, UMN Students for Justice in Palestine\, Minnesota Immigration Rights Action Committee\, and Jewish Voice for Peace.
