SUMMARY:Court Support for Hassan Ali Mohamud Jami
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, April 1st @ 1:30 pm @ Federal Building\, 300 S 4th St\, Minneapolis \nHassan Ali Mohamud Jami\, a member of the defense team of Mohamed Farah – one of the 5 Somali youth to soon go on trial in an ISIS recruitment case\, is now himself a target of government attacks. In an outrageous attempt to discredit him and disrupt the defense of Farah\, the prosecution is planning to introduce evidence that Jami “is referenced by a co-conspirator apparently preaching about jihad and related topics.” \nMohamud\, the first Somali to graduate from a Minnesota law school and the founder and Imam/director of Minnesota Da’wah Institute\, also works as an Immigration Law Project Advocate at the Legal Aid Society of Minneapolis and is an adjunct professor at the William Mitchell College of Law. He has been an effective spokesman and critic of the harsh repression\, infiltration and surveillance of the Somali community by the U.S. government and worked with the Anti-War Committee and other peace groups in organizing the 2008 March on the RNC protest.  Mohamud called the government allegations false and said\, “it’s all about politics.”

SUMMARY:Anti-War Message to Democratic Presidential Candidates:  No More Wall Street Wars!
DESCRIPTION:Friday\, February 12\, 2016 from 4:30 – 5:30pm at the River Center\, 175 W Kellogg Blvd\, St. Paul\, MN 55102 \nThe Anti-War Committee is organizing a picket at the 5th Annual Humphrey-Mondale Dinner on Friday\, February 12that the RiverCenter to send a anti-war message to Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.   \nThe Anti-War Committee’s call for the protest says\, “This is a chance for local progressive groups to voice our opposition to the Democratic Party’s policies on war\, drones\, surveillance\, and mass incarceration. We are asking like-minded people to join us to demand an end to US wars in Iraq\, Afghanistan and Syria and to say NO to US aid to Israel and Colombia.   The people of this country are opposed to war and we are not going to support another drone war Democrat!” \nMeredith Aby-Keirstead\, a spokesperson for the Anti-War Committee\, explains\, “Clinton voted for the war on Iraq and was a consistent voice for war in the Obama administration.  Both candidates do not want a change in US – Israeli relations.  They have both repeatedly voted for US aid to Israel and supported Israel during the 2014 war on Gaza.  Lastly\, they both have vowed to continue using drones in warfare.  We feel both candidates are out of touch.  Minnesotans do not want to continue policies of endless war.” \nThe Anti-War Committee is expected to be joined by student and immigrant rights activists who also have criticisms of the Democratic Party and their candidates for president.

SUMMARY:Is Peace Possible in Colombia?
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, January 28th\n7pm – May Day Books\n301 Cedar Ave. S\, Minneapolis \nSpeakers: Jen Nie Colombian\, Rob Trousdale\, Jess Sundin and Meredith Aby-Keirstead \nThe Colombian civil war is more than 50 years old.  The US has played a consistent role in supporting the Colombian right wing government in their dirty war through military aid and advisors – frequently sold to the American public as part of the “war on drugs” or the “war on terror”. \nIn 2012 the Colombian government and the FARC (the oldest and largest rebel group) sat down in Havana\, Cuba to negotiate an end to the war.  One of the main demands from the FARC has been for Simon Trinidad\, also known in Colombia as Ricardo Palmera\, to be released from US custody.  Trinidad is one of the FARC’s lead diplomats.  CounterPunch reports\, “Simon Trinidad was a leader of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) with responsibilities for political education\, financial overview\, and peace negotiations. He participated with the FARC in talks with the Colombian government in 1998-2002. In Ecuador prior to his capture in January 2004 – with CIA help – he was preparing to meet with United Nations representative James Lemoyne to review the situation of FARC prisoners of war.”  Many have seen his imprisonment in solitary confinement in a Colorado Supermax as a barrier to peace. \nIn September both sides announced a transitional justice process and a deadline for the guerrilla group to start disarming which\, according to the New York Times\, “means that an end to the conflict now appears within reach.”  Is this true? \nCome hear from Anti-War Committee members who have travelled to Colombia and will be going back soon.  We will discuss the conflict and how\, in order to achieve a just peace\, the solidarity movement needs to demand the release of Simon Trinidad and an end to US military aid to Colombia.\nOrganized by the Anti-War Committee\nantiwarcommittee.org *facebook.com/AntiwarMN * twitter.com/AntiwarMN

SUMMARY:Call-In Day: Ask City Attorney not to Prosecute Charges against Palestine Solidarity Activists
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a call-in day to express support for Palestine solidarity activists facing charges for protesting Israeli military “ethicist” Moshe Halbertal’s talk at the University of Minnesota Law School. \nThe legal director for national pro-Israel organization StandWithUs has been in communication with the city attorney’s office\, calling for prosecution to the “full extent of the law.” StandWithUs has organized two witnesses to testify against protesters\, providing contact information for both the founder and sitting president of the U of M’s Students in Support of Israel (SSI) who helped organize the talk. StandWithUs went further in their statement to the city attorney\, highlighting activities of protesters who were not arrested\, suggesting additional people should be charged. Two Anti-War Committee activists\, Misty & Sophia\, have court on Wednesday\, and before that\, the City Attorney needs to hear from our supporters too! Call and urge them not to prosecute charges brought by the University of Minnesota Law School\, and expose the dirty tactics of Zionists seeking to silence those demanding justice for Palestine. For more information on the protest for which activists are facing charges\, see: http://antiwarcommittee.org/2015/11/10/anti-war-committee-statement-on-the-november-3rd-protest-against-war-crimes-apologist-moshe-halbertal/. \n***Call City Attorney Susan Segal at (612) 673-2010. Phone number is general 311 for City of Minneapolis\, but they can forward you to City Attorney’s Office.*** \nSample Call Script: \n“Hello\, my name is ______ to ask that the city of Minneapolis drop the prosecution of Palestine solidarity activists Melissa Rowan and Sophia Hansen-Day for their participation in a November 3 protest at the U of M Law School. The Law School has a history of inviting Zionist speakers to campus while failing to share Palestinian perspectives\, and the protesters brought a much-needed balance to that discussion. I understand that the organization StandWithUs that has contacted your office\, and want you to know they are just an “education non-profit\,” but actually an unabashedly pro-Israeli apartheid organization not based here in the Twin Cities. Melissa Rowan and Sophia Hanson-Day spoke up here\, in their own community\, because they believed a war crimes apologist should not be given a platform at our publicly-funded state university. I support them\, and ask you to drop the charges against them. Thank you.”

SUMMARY:Press conference & Court Date for 3 Arrested at Law School Palestine protest
DESCRIPTION:Supporters welcome for… \nPress conference in front of Public Safety Facility at 8am\nCourt appearance inside at 8:30am \n* PRESS RELEASE * \n3 Arrested at Law School Palestine protest to have first day in court\, standing by the right to dissent \nOn November 3\, police were called on to forcibly remove protesters from a UMN Law School lecture by Moshe Halbertal\, who protesters called “an apologist for Israeli war crimes.” Three individuals were arrested that day\, including two organizers with the Anti-War Committee\, and an attorney acting as an informal legal observer of police actions against the protesters.  All three were booked into jail and held for some 8 hours\, before being released with a court date set for Wednesday\, November 18 at 8:30am. Anti-War Committee spokespeople will be available to the media before the hearing\, at 8:00am outside the Public Safety Facility at 401 S. 4th Ave\, Minneapolis. \nDuring the protest by community members and students\, some of the protesters had entered the lecture hall and effectively denied Halbertal a platform. They interrupted his presentation some two dozen times\, with facts about Israeli atrocities\, Halbertal’s public record in defense of IDF actions\, and demands that the University honor the international boycott of Israel. \nIn addition to calling in police\, several Law School faculty have published criticism of the protesters\, and called for disciplinary actions against any students involved.  Among other criticisms\, they have argued that disrupting the speaking event was not a “legitimate” form of dissent. \nStanding by the actions of protesters\, AWC member Jess Sundin said\, “We see the same kind of attacks on protesters demanding justice for Jamar Clark\, killed by Minneapolis police this week. Some folks want to say there’s a right way and a wrong way to demand justice. Whether you’re sitting in an ivory tower\, or in your car on Interstate-94\, you show your true colors when you criticize protesters that inconvenience you or make you uncomfortable. As people of conscience\, we have an obligation to speak up for justice. From Palestine\, to North Minneapolis\, lives are at stake\, and we will not be silent.” \nLast week\, the Anti-War Committee (AWC) issued a statement\, responding to critics of the November 3 protest. It says in part\, “We are compelled to challenge Israel’s policies of apartheid and occupation\, and its defenders\, at every turn.” The full statement is published on their website – http://antiwarcommittee.org/2015/11/10/anti-war-committee-statement-on-the-november-3rd-protest-against-war-crimes-apologist-moshe-halbertal/.

SUMMARY:Caging the Oppressed: Mass Incarceration from the US to Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Join the Anti-War Committee\, Save the Kids-Augsburg chapter\, and Augsburg Students for Racial Justice for a panel discussion on how the struggles for a free Palestine and against mass incarceration in the US are connected\, to talk about strategies for resistance\, and to determine actions steps together. Free pizza provided. \nBoth the United States and Israel use legal systems\, and especially prisons\, for racist and colonial oppression. The United States subjects over 7.3 million people\, 70 percent of whom are people of color\, to “correctional” supervision\, probation\, or control. While locking Black people up is central to fueling this system of oppression\, Native people\, Brown folks\, and poor/working class people on the whole are also targeted. Similarly\, since the creation of the apartheid state of Israel in 1948\, over 40 percent of Palestinian men have been imprisoned and Israel regularly uses mass arrests to repress protests. These systems of oppression are interconnected; Israel and the US share racist ideologies\, exchange repressive policing technologies and training\, and create the conditions necessary for private corporations like G4S to profit from caging people\, as they make profits themselves. \nFor further information about the location\, please see this map of Augsburg College at http://www.augsburg.edu/about/map/.

DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 3rd\, 3:30 pm – 5pm outside of the U of M Law School\, Mondale Hall 25 on the West Bank in Minneapolis. \nThe U of M is hosting Moshe Halbertal for a special lecture at the U of M Law School to give the talk “Protecting Civilians:  Moral Challenges of Asymmetric Warfare.”  Halbertal co-authored the military code of ethics which guides the conduct of the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) during its bombing campaigns in Gaza\, the rounding up of Palestinians for detention without change\, and the military occupation of Palestine. Halbertal criticized the Goldstone Report which points to the atrocities committed by the Israeli Defense Forces against the civilian population in Gaza. \nJoin us for a protest to denounce Halbertal’s alleged expertise on ethics and to demand the U of M not use our tax dollars to promote war crimes. \nOrganized by the Anti-War Committee. Endorsed by Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP UMN).

SUMMARY:Two Actions to Say NO to Obama's plan to continue the war in Afghanistan
DESCRIPTION:Call in day and Sign Petition\nTuesday\, October 20th – All Day\n*Email or call President Obama @ 202-456-1111  to say “Bring the Troops Home Now!”\n*Sign Doctors Without Borders Petition:  https://www.change.org/p/tell-president-obama-to-consent-to-independent-investigation-of-kunduz-hospital-bombing \nThis year marks the 14th year of the U.S. war on Afghanistan.  On October 15\, 2015 President Obama reversed his previous position and declared that the U.S. military will keep 5\,500 troops in Afghanistan when he leaves office in 2017 which ensures the U.S. will continue this war to another presidency.  The next president will become the third U.S. commander-in-chief to oversee the war! \nThe Impact of 14 Years of War:\nIcasualties.org  reports that the U.S. has lost 2\,372 people.  The Watson Institute  reports\, “As of January 2015\, more than 26\,000 civilians are estimated to have died violent deaths as a result of the war.  Many Afghans dealing with ill health and war wounds find it difficult to get to hospitals and clinics because violence makes roads unsafe.  The war has exacerbated the effects of poverty\, malnutrition\, poor sanitation\, lack of access to healthcare\, and environmental degradation on Afghans’ health.”  The insecurity that U.S. warfare has brought to Afghanistan is best demonstrated by the international uproar over the U.S. bombing of a hospital the week before the war turned 14 years old. \nU.S. Commits War Crime:\nThe U.S. bombing of the Doctors Without Borders’ hospital in Kunduz\, Afghanistan  on October 3rd killed 22 people. The Pentagon acknowledged earlier this month that its Special Forces were responsible for the deadly attack\, but only after changing the official story at least four times\, including initial denials of culpability and claims of justification. \nOn October 15th Doctors Without Borders reports that the U.S. military’s forcible intrusion into its hospital potentially destroyed evidence of its war crime and underscores the need for a truly independent investigation into the U.S. bombing of their hospital. \nDoctors Without Borders has launched an online petition  demanding that there be an independent investigation into the bombing of their hospital\, which is a war crime.  The Anti-War Committee encourages our supporters to sign it so that we can have a large showing of national and international support for investigating this atrocious war crime! \nThe people of Afghanistan deserve to live in peace without the threat of U.S. drone strikes\, hospital bombings or meddling into who their government is.  The Anti-War Committee calls on its supporters to call President Obama to say NO to his plan to continue the war on Afghanistan!  Please join us in expressing our outrage!

SUMMARY:Protest for Justice for Palestine: Say no to the Israeli killings of Palestinian youth
DESCRIPTION:In the just 48 hours\, four Palestinian youth have been shot and killed in clashes with Israeli occupation forces. \nThese clashes have come in response to weeks of escalating attacks\, where the Israeli military and settlers in the West Bank have injured hundreds of Palestinians with live ammunition\, rubber-coated steel bullets and beatings. Hundreds more people have been injured by tear gas\, and scores have been arrested. Israeli soldiers have also reportedly shot at more than a dozen Palestinian ambulances and assaulted paramedics. Under Israeli police protection\, settlers have set fire to countless Palestinian homes and fields\, while the Old City of Jerusalem is on lock-down and Muslim men under 50 are barred entry to attend prayer at holy sites. According to the Palestinian Prisoners Society\, “Israeli soldiers kidnapped 562 Palestinians\, including dozens of children\, mainly in occupied Jerusalem\, in September\,” and the mass arrests are ongoing. \nIsraeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to use an “iron fist” against Palestinians\, saying\, “There are no limits on the activities of security forces.” He plans to speed up the demolitions of Palestinian homes and expand the use of administrative detention. These attacks on basic human rights aim to deliver collective punishment to the Palestinian people\, and extend the military occupation of Palestinian land. \nInternational law recognizes the right of Palestinians\, like any occupied people\, to resist. Stand with us as we stand up for justice in Palestine and say no to the killings of Huthaifa Sulaiman (18)\, Fadi Alloun (19)\, Abdul-Rahman Shadi Mustafa (13)\, and Mohannad Shafiq al-Halabi (19).

SUMMARY:Minneapolis gathering to mark 5 years since the FBI raids
DESCRIPTION:On September 24\, 2010\, the FBI carried out coordinated raids on the homes and offices of anti-war activists\, searching for evidence of “material support to foreign terrorist organizations. The raids were part of a massive government operation that sought to criminalize our work against US policies of war. \nFive years later the investigation is “ongoing.” The steadfastness of the targeted activists\, who all refused to cooperate with the government witch hunt\, along with the overwhelming support from our communities\, has so far made it impossible for the government to bring any terrorism charges against us. Shamefully\, they have moved to prosecute two veteran activists in our movements. We beat back the case against Chicano leader\, Carlos Montes. And now\, we are fighting for the freedom of Rasmea Odeh\, an icon of the Palestininan liberation movement in Chicago. \nWe’ve come a long way in the last five years. Join us in Minneapolis to celebrate our victories – defeating the grand jury that could’ve jailed all 23 who refused to testify; defending the freedom of Carlos Montes; and continuing to build a movement that stands with the people of the world against US wars and aggression. \nWe’ll have food and drinks\, and call on everyone to redouble their efforts to win freedom for Rasmea Odeh!
