The vigil lasts from 5:00 to 6:00 PM \nThose participating  will hold signs and banners speaking out against a new U.S. war. \nA statement issued by organizers says in part\, “The war crisis in Korea remains at a boiling point\, the Trump Administration is making unhinged threats of war. Reports are that more U.S. military forces are being sent to Korea\, including an additional aircraft carrier. \nThe statement goes on to say\, “There is a proposal to avert war and start talks\, “freeze for freeze.” in which North Korea suspends its nuclear and missile testing in exchange for halting or scaling back these massive U.S.-South Korean military exercises and for an a peace treaty to formally end the Korean War.” \n“There is a real danger of a new U.S. war\, everyone opposed must speak out. The weekly vigil is one way to speak out against war\,” the statement said. \nThe vigil is sponsored by End War Committee of Women Against Military Madness and the Twin Cities Peace Campaign.  Endorsed by the Anti-War Committee. \nFFI:  https://www.facebook.com/Minnesota-Peace-Action-Coalition-133071846772683/ URL:https://antiwarcommittee.org/event/stop-u-s-war-threats-no-u-s-war-on-north-korea/ LOCATION:Marshall/Lake Street Bridge CATEGORIES:Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170903T113000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170903T143000 DTSTAMP:20260812T151836 CREATED:20170819T063553Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170819T063553Z UID:8427-1504438200-1504449000@antiwarcommittee.org SUMMARY:Injustice on a Stick DESCRIPTION:The Minnesota State Fair Trilogy\n2015: #BlackFair #BlackLivesMatter\n2016: #MNStateAintFair\n2017: #InjusticeOnAStick \nINJUSTICE ON A STICK \nWe extend our deepest condolences and solidarity to the family and friends of Heather Heyer as well as the Charlottesville community. “Run them over” – Retired Saint Paul Police Sgt. Jeffrey Rothecker\, Jan. 2016. Rest in Power Comrade! #Justice4Heather No Fascists! No KKK! Racist USA! \nThe time is now. Like no other time in history. We have the ability. We have the numbers. We have the determination. We have the organization. We have the solidarity. We have the scars. We have the false allegations. We have the charges. We have the brutalized. We have the pain. We have the buried. We have the memories. We have the duty to fight for our freedom! #ColinKaepernick #Stand4Kaepernick . We have the duty to win! \nFrom police brutality\, mass incarceration and corporate violence (St. Anthony Village)\, to institutional racism and capitalism\, the System continues to destroy our ability have peace\, live\, and thrive\, as well as siphon the natural resources of Mother Earth. #NoDAPL #NativeLivesMatter . Minnesota is home to the nation’s largest Somalis community. #StopIslamophobia. We must love and protect one another. #BlackLivesMatter #LGBTQLivesMatter . When you take a stand against injustice\, your life matters. \nOn Sunday September 3\, 2017\, we will add another item to the list of things on a stick at the Minnesota State Fair\, #InjusticeOnaStick.

We love you Khaleel! \nWhat really happened to Jerome Gordon-Jackson on May 18\, 2013? Suicide is always a convenient alibi for law enforcement. \nPeaceful protesters who stood against the actions of executioner Jeronimo Yanez are still facing charges but Yazez is free and Philando is in the ground. SMH. Minnesota must do better. \nIn 2016 at #MNStateAintFair\, among the people named as stolen lives were Geno Smith\, Map Kong\, Jaffort Smith and Philando Cast. We continue to demand justice for them as well as for Jamar Clark\, Marcus Golden (unarmed)\, Fong Lee (unarmed)\, Guilermo Canas\, Philip Quinn\, Michael Kirvelay\, Terrance Franklyn\, Victor Gaddy\, Quincy Smith as well as other local and out of state police homicide victims such as Alton Sterling\, Paul Castaway\, Angel Lopez and Oscar Grant. Yes\, we did #SayHerName: Korryn Gaines\, Aiyana Jones\, Sarah Lee Circle Bear\, Sandra Bland and Rekia Boyd to name a few. \nInjustice on a Stick exposes repetitive\, systematic\, deeply rooted\, racism\, state sanctioned police and corporate violence.

DESCRIPTION:Protest in solidarity with Charlottesville anti-racist protesters!\nMinneapolis stands against white supremacy\, from Charlottesville to the White House! \nMonday\, August 14\n5:00 pm\nGather outside the Republican Party Office\n2200 East Franklin Avenue\nMinneapolis\, MN 55404 \nJoin us Monday\, August 14 at 5:00 pm to stand in solidarity with the heroic anti-racist protestors who were violently attacked by white nationalist terrorists in Charlottesville\, Virginia on Saturday. \nWe will gather outside the Minneapolis Republican Party office on Franklin Avenue to show our solidarity with the anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville and our outrage at the white supremacists from the streets of Charlottesville to the halls of the White House. Join us in the streets to show we are not afraid and we will oppose racist attacks whenever and wherever they happen. . \nOn Friday and Saturday\, anti-racist protesters opposing a white supremacist ‘Unite the Right’ rally in Charlottesville\, VA faced a vicious attack. As protesters gathered near a downtown mall in Charlottesville\, a grey car drove at high speed into the crowd of activists\, killing at least one and injuring at least 19 others. \nThis sickening crime is part of the rise in white supremacists since the election of Donald Trump. His presidency has emboldened forces like white nationalists\, Neo-Nazis\, and the KKK. Trump and his cohort’s racist hate speech against immigrants and communities of color has facilitated the rise of hate crimes and violence. The anti-racist protesters in Charlottesville were correct to oppose these forces\, and everyone who loves peace\, freedom and equality should continue to visibly oppose this racist and reactionary movement. \nProtest endorsed by:\nAnti-War Committee\nCommunities United Against Police Brutality (CUAPB)\nMinnesota Immigrant Rights Action Committee (MIRAC)\nStudents for a Democratic Society (SDS) – UMN\nWelfare Rights Committee URL:https://antiwarcommittee.org/event/solidarity-with-anti-racists-in-charlottesville-mpls-protest/ LOCATION:Republican Party of Minnesota\, 2200 E Franklin Ave\, Ste 201\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 55404\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20170812T150000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20170812T180000 DTSTAMP:20260812T151836 CREATED:20170804T063703Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170804T063703Z UID:8416-1502550000-1502560800@antiwarcommittee.org SUMMARY:BBQ with the Anti-War Committee DESCRIPTION:Come out and meet the folks of the Anti-War Committee.

Following the film we will hold a discussion with the director and producer Sabry Wazwaz. \nWazwaz is a Palestinian American who traveled back to Palestine in 2014 to interview and document the reality of Israeli occupation. Wazwaz was inspired by documentaries like Five Broken Cameras and wanted US citizens to see what is really going on in Palestine and felt that he could use his camera as a way to expand understanding. The film includes powerful interviews and demonstrates how Zionism is not Judaism. \nAdmission is $10. Proceeds will support the Anti-War Committee. \nTickets are now on sale and can be purchased in person at the St. Anthony Main box office\, or online below.\n \n  \n  URL:https://antiwarcommittee.org/event/palestine-why-the-caged-dove-sings/ LOCATION:Film Society of Minneapolis St. Paul’s Screen #3 at St. Anthony Main Theatre\, 115 SE Main St\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 55414\, United States ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20170629T163000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20170629T173000 DTSTAMP:20260812T151836 CREATED:20170627T102744Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170627T102744Z UID:8397-1498753800-1498757400@antiwarcommittee.org SUMMARY:Say NO to Trump's #MuslimBan! Twin Cities Resist! DESCRIPTION:Emergency Response Protest! The U.S. Supreme Court has decided to hear arguments in October 2017 for the #MuslimBan. This means that the ban will go into effect almost immediately – (Thursday of this week) – targeting the immigrants and refugees of 6 Muslim-majority countries: Syria\, Iran\, Libya\, Somalia\, Sudan\, and Yemen. Join us to rise up and #resist this racist attack! \nJoin us to say:\nMuslims are welcome here!\nRefugees & immigrants are welcome here!\nWe say NO to war and racism!\nWar creates refugees! \nJoin the Anti-War Committee in sending a loud message of NO to President Trump and the Supreme Court’s decision to allow parts of the #MuslimBan to take effect before hearing oral arguments in October. This same ban was defeated earlier this year by thousands of people mobilizing in the streets\, at airports & at federal buildings and with federal appeals courts in multiple states putting an end to it. \nWe need to continue showing a message of solidarity with our immigrant neighbors. Join us to speak out against anti-Muslim bigotry and war! The protest will start with a rally at 4:30PM at the Federal Building in DT MPLS to repeat our message of #NoBanNoBombsNoWar! \nOn Monday\, June 26th\, the media reported that the Supreme Court has decided to hear argument for the #MuslimBan. This means that a version of the original draft will go into effect almost immediately and will likely stay in place for at least 90 days. The amended ban says that the U.S. will temporarily ban entries from six majority-Muslim countries (Iran\, Syria\, Sudan\, Libya\, Somalia\, and Yemen) UNLESS they have a “bona fide relationship to a person or entity in the United States.” \nIt is criminal for the U.S. to bomb and attack other countries and then turn away refugees when the U.S. has destroyed their homelands! It is outrageous for Trump\, backed by the approval of the Supreme Court\, to consider doing this while at the same time expand the bombings & killings in these same countries! \nIt is upon us to speak out against his racist foreign policy! All out on Thursday! \nOrganized by the Anti-War Committee \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/440811459608483 URL:https://antiwarcommittee.org/event/say-no-to-trumps-muslimban-twin-cities-resist-2/ LOCATION:Minneapolis Federal Building\, 300 S 4th St\, Minneapolis\, MN\, 55401\, United States CATEGORIES:Featured ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;VALUE=DATE:20170625 DTEND;VALUE=DATE:20170627 DTSTAMP:20260812T151837 CREATED:20170522T230106Z LAST-MODIFIED:20170522T230106Z UID:8361-1498348800-1498521599@antiwarcommittee.org SUMMARY:Twin Cities Pride Festival DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, June 24th – Sunday\, June 25th @ Loring Park\, Minneapolis\, MN \nCome help distribute anti-war zines and “No Ban\, No Bombs\, No Wars” stickers at the Anti-War Committee booth at the LGBT Pride festival.

Follow us on Facebook\, Twitter or check our website for the latest information on the announcement and protest. \nThe Obama policies\, carried out since December 2014 in cooperation with the Cuban government\, have produced many tangible benefits for the peoples of both countries even as the more than 50 year U.S. embargo has continued. U.S. travel to the island has increased significantly and the Cuban people have received additional employment opportunities from that travel and more U.S. citizens have been able to witness first-hand the achievements of the revolution. Cuban citizens have been given greater opportunity to travel to the United States as the result of changed U.S. policy and life saving Cuban-developed drugs are now undergoing clinical trials in this country. Unfortunately\, it appears that the Trump administration is preparing to roll back the gains of the last three years to the detriment of the peoples of both countries\, including the endangerment of the constitutional right of U.S. citizens to travel to the island. \nWe urge opponents of this potential travesty to continue putting pressure on lawmakers. However\, because It is unlikely that Trump can be stopped before he proclaims these disastrous changes\, the Minnesota Cuba Committee\, Women Against Military Madness (WAMM)\, Twin Cities Peace Campaign\, Antiwar Committee\, the Haiti Justice Committee\, the Minnesota Peace Action Coalition and other organizations are calling for a public protest on Friday\, June 16\, at 4:30 pm\, the day of the expected announcement. (Previous information called for a protest on the day after the announcement.) \nWe will provide signs and banners or you can bring your own. Please watch for information from the Minnesota Cuba Committee confirming the date of the protest. \nResist the Trump agenda and stand up for our freedom to travel and trade with Cuba!

This day is marked as “Al Nakba”\, Arabic for “The Catastrophe”. During the 1948 war\, at least 750\,000 Palestinian men\, women\, and children were ruthlessly attacked\, massacred\, and driven from their homes into refugee camps and have never been allowed to return. This is in violation of international law! Since 1948\, Israel has received more than $234 billion in U.S. aid to occupy Palestine. This does not include the $38 billion that Israel will receive in the next 10 years. 2017 marks 69 years of U.S.-backed Israeli occupation. Show your solidarity with Palestine on Al-Nakba!
