Ride with the Anti-War Committee & TCC4J to go to Chicago and join organizers across the country to protest the Democratic National Convention. The protest is on Monday, August 19th. For more info on the protest go to https://www.marchondnc2024.org/.
This will be a one-day trip! We will not be spending the night in Chicago. The plan is to leave late Sunday evening, arrive in Chicago for the protest, and head back to the Twin Cities on Monday evening. The itinerary is still being confirmed.

The main protest demand is: Stand with Palestine! End U.S. Aid to Israel
We will also be bringing together the demands of the people’s movements to the door of the Democratic party:

Women Against Military Madness is following the siege on Gaza by the Israeli military closely after the events of October 7, 2023. For many years and still to this day, the WAMM Board of Directors stands in unrelenting solidarity with the Palestinian people in their resistance efforts against the Israeli occupation. There are many upcoming actions happening in rapid succession, some called less than 24 hours before the scheduled event. Thus, we want to remind our members to check our calendar for solidarity actions for Palestine, like the continual weekly WAMM Middle East Committee Friday Rallies, and our socials regularly. Click the socials here to follow us on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and TikTok respectively.
The WAMM Middle East Committee has also written a full statement on the ongoing war against Gaza (originally written 10/11/2023), which you can read in full on their committee page. Finally, we encourage our members to follow the Anti-War Committee, American Muslims for Palestine – MN, and Students for Justice in Palestine – UMN for emergency response protests happening locally. We often endorse these actions and we would love to see you on the streets with us.

WAMM’s well-researched military spending cards show the astonishing facts about U.S. military spending. Share them with your community group, neighborhood, school, library, softball team, etc. Cards are 2-sided cardstock and come in packs of 100.
