The United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC) invites progressive & anti-war forces to come together as a movement to assess the period we are in and plan for the future. The horrific events in Gaza, the imperialist debacle in Ukraine, & the threats aimed at China show us that the U.S. targets any country that will not accept its domination. We must organize to fight back.

WAMM SECOND MONDAY MOVIES PRESENTS…
David Attenborough: A Life on Our Planet
Monday, April 8, 2024, 7:00 pm, 4200 Cedar Ave S

In 2020, world-renowned naturalist David Attenborough released a new film: A Life on Our Planet, which he calls his “witness statement” for the environment. The film traces his 60 year career, outlining how steeply the health of the planet has declined in his lifetime. It also makes grim predictions for the future should humanity continue on its current path…However, Attenborough describes actions which could prevent these effects and combat climate change and biodiversity loss. He asserts that the solution has been “staring us in the face all along”.

Directors: Alastair Fothergill, Jonnie Hughes, Keith Scholey
Narrator: David Attenborough

Tell Walz to Shut Down Smith Foundry
2024-04-11 17:30 - 18:30 | Eastcliff, 176 N Mississippi River Blvd, St Paul, MN, 55104, United States

Rally and Press Conference at the governor’s residence
Smith has been polluting East Philips for decades. It’s blatant environmental racism: foundries would never be allowed in affluent white neighborhoods. Walz could put his weight behind shutting down Smith at any time through bills like HF 4231 + SF 4316 that would kill the grandfathered permits for polluters like Smith & St Paul Brass, but he believes avoiding controversy in an election year is more important than the health of our communities. Tell Walz that he and the MN Pollution Control Agency need to do their jobs and SHUT DOWN SMITH FOUNDRY

Senator Klobuchar: Take Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism List!

DEMAND! Senator Klobuchar: Take Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism List!

Protest at Klobuchar’s office!
Thursday, April 18, 2024, 4:00 PM to 5:00 pm, 1200 Washington Avenue South Minneapolis, MN 55415

We are gathering at Senator Amy Klobuchar’s office to call on her to advocate with President Biden to take Cuba off the list of U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism list.
This listing and sanctions on Cubans causes pain and suffering to the Cuban people. We need to normalize relations with our neighboring country.
>>>>Join us to deliver petitions to Senator Klobuchar’s office.<<<<
The United States under Trump put Cuba on a list of few countries that are designated as State Sponsors of Terrorism. This was after the Obama administration took Cuba off the list because it did not meet the criteria and was an impediment to diplomatic normalization.
The list is used as a way for the US to punish countries that it is in conflict with. Cuba was put on the list by Trump without providing any reasonable justification for doing this.
This designation has harmed the people of Cuba by international financial restrictions that prevent it from rebooting its economy especially after the pandemic, Biden has continued this policy, but he can remove Cuba from the list by a stroke of his pen via an Executive Order.

Barry Riesch begins discussion on Vets for Peace and the Flotilla at 53:30

CONTEXT: Coleen Rowley of Apple Valley, who is a member of @wamm_mn Women Against Military Madness, and Barry Riesch of St. Paul, who is a member of @veteransforpeace, (bios below) are scheduled to leave the Twin Cities on Wednesday, April 17 to travel to the Mediterranean to join the International Freedom Flotilla this spring. This civilian aid mission will set sail in late April bringing life-saving aid to the people of Gaza to challenge Israel’s unlawful and murderous siege.

The flotilla consists of multiple ships carrying over 5,500 tons of urgently needed food and medicine for the Palestinian people who are being deliberately starved and experiencing disease and death. Rowley and Riesch will be among several hundred participants on this non-violent mission. With multiple aid groups suspending their operations in Gaza after Israel’s latest murder of aid workers, the flotilla’s mission is more critical than ever.
You can find information on the Freedom Flotilla Coalition at: https://freedomflotilla.org/

If you want to help out please call your Senators and Congress members and ask them to demand that Israel respect international law and allow the flotilla to enter Gaza to distribute aid without delay, disruption or harm, and protect their rights, security, and safety during this humanitarian aid mission.

EARTH DAY RALLY AND MARCH, 4/21: From Little Earth to Palestine! 📣🇵🇸 Fight back against environmental racism! Divest MN from apartheid Israel! Shut down Smith Foundry! No greenwashing genocide! More info below 👇
🗓️Sunday April 21st
⏰1:00PM
📍Smith Foundry (28th and Longfellow Ave, MPLS)
HOW ISRAEL USES GREENWASHING:
Greenwashing: the act of framing one’s actions or policies as environmentally friendly — “green” — as a means of concealing some other harm.
Greenwashing is a tactic used by settler colonies that attempts to deceivingly characterize the genocidal and intrinsically capitalistic annexations of land by occupation forces as “environmentally progressive”.
Israel’s exploitation of Palestinian land and resources has locked Palestine into a captive market, effectively creating an economic relationship rooted in manufactured dependence and cyclical debt.
This is especially prevalent in the energy sector in Palestine where Gazans have two sources of electricity: the frequently bombed Gaza Power Plant which depends on fuel—a resource that Israel has substantially restricted access to due to its “dual purpose” categorization—and the Israel Electric Corporation (IEC).
Israeli green energy corporations like SolarEdge build solar fields on stolen and illegally occupied Palestinian land to sell to the IEC. Palestinians are forced to depend on Israel for access to their own resources and the global West is deceived into believing that renewable energy sources are being developed from a place of ethical benevolence.
The systemic dispossession and exploitation of Palestinian land with resources deemed profitable for the occupation’s endeavors contributes to the de-development of Palestine—worsening conditions for Palestinians and making it increasingly difficult for Palestinians to achieve sovereignty under Israel’s apartheid regime.

Thank you for your interest in “Teaching Palestine”, a workshop with Dr. Rabab Abdulhadi. The purpose of this workshop is for Twin Cities faculty and graduate instructors (and non-academic members of the Twin Cities community) to learn about how to teach about Palestine. In particular, those who may not have taught about Palestine in their classes in the past would benefit from this teach-in. The goal is to learn how to integrate Palestine in our syllabi, and how to make Palestine a part of university curricula on an ongoing basis, and not just during the genocide.

MEPN April Forum - Anti-Zionism is Not Antisemitism: Examining the History of Jewish Opposition to Zionism

Organized by Middle East Peace Now. Please email mepn@mepn.org with any questions.

In recent years, there has been an effort to redefine “antisemitism” to include not only bigotry toward Jews and Judaism, but also criticism of Israel and Zionism. In May 2022, Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League declared that “Anti-Zionism is antisemitism.” Some Israelis admit that equating anti-Zionism with antisemitism is a tactic to silence criticism of Israel. Zionism believes that Israel is the “homeland” of all Jews and that Jews living elsewhere are “in exile.” The overwhelming majority of Jewish Americans reject this view. The group whose publications I edit, the American Council for Judaism, was established in 1942 to keep alive the idea that Judaism is a religion of universal values, not a nationality. My talk will examine the way Zionism has had a negative impact upon both Judaism and American foreign policy.
Allan C. Brownfeld is a nationally syndicated columnist and is editor of ISSUES, the quarterly journal of the American Council for Judaism (www.acjna.org). He received his A.B. from the College of William and Mary, his M.A. from the University of Maryland, and his J.D. from the Marshall-Wythe School of Law of the College of William and Mary. He has taught on the faculties of St. Stephen’s School and the University of Maryland. The author of five books, he has served on the staff of the U.S. Senate, House of Representatives and the Office of the Vice President.

When two young American Jews raised to unconditionally love Israel witness the brutal way Israel treats Palestinians, their lives take sharp left turns.They join a movement of young American Jews battling the old guard to redefine Judaism’s relationship with Israel, revealing a deepening generational divide over modern Jewish identity.
ISRAELISM uniquely explores how Jewish attitudes towards Israel are changing dramatically, with massive consequences for the region and for Judaism itself.

Cuba has been suffering under a U.S. blockade and economic warfare since 1962, which has served only to impoverish the island and stunt the development of its productive forces, cutting off medical aid, food, and crucial building supplies and technology from reaching the Cuban people — a state of siege similar to the siege of Gaza.
Despite this, and other attempts at destabilization and invasion, the Cuban people have resisted and remained committed to their liberation and liberation across the globe, including long-time, unwavering support for the cause of Palestinian liberation.
