More about the Anti War Action Network: Formed after the 2024 UNAC Conference, The Anti War Action Network (AWAN) is a network made up of anti-war, student, and Palestine solidarity activists who have been participating in the national days of action called by US Palestinian Communities Network, Students for a Democratic Society and the National Alliance Against Political and Racist Repression during this upsurge in Palestine organizing to stop Israel’s genocidal campaign in Gaza. Some of us are new to activism whereas others of us have been doing anti-war and Palestine solidarity organizing for decades. We are coming together to call for national days of action because we want to work together to end US aid to Israel and to increase national coordination so we can amplify our protests. We hope new activists and other groups will join us. #freepalestine

National Day of Action for Higher Ed! Palestinian Prisoner's Day
2025-04-17 | Northrop Plaza, 84 Church St SE, Minneapolis
Thursday, April 17, 2025
Food Drive: 10:30am – 2:30pm — 1721 University Ave SE
Watch Party: 4-6pm — 130 Murphy Hall
Rally: 7pm — Northrop Mall
Die-in & Candlelight vigil: 8:15pm
Join UMN Educators for Justice in Palestine, UMN Divest Coalition organizations, MN Free Palestine Coalition organizations, and several community organizations on the National Day of Action for Higher Ed to stand up for Palestinian liberation, immigrant rights, prison abolition, and academic freedom. April 17 is also the Palestinian Prisoners’ Day. We join other academic workers, students, union members, and activists within multiple higher education associations and unions, trade unions, and others across the U.S. for a coordinated national direct action in protest of the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the escalating repression at home. We believe that the liberal notion of academic freedom divorced from Palestine speech is not freedom! We stand against the neoliberal and colonial logic of higher ed that represses speech and academic freedom in the US and that enables genocide, carceral tactics, starvation, and the long-running destruction of education and historical memory in Gaza and throughout Palestine. Free Palestine! Hands Off Our Students! Dismantle ICE! Stop Suppressing Palestine Speech! Endorsed by WAMM

MEPN April Forum: What Now for Our Movement?

Part 1: Gaza, Trump II, and the great unmasking –
an inflection point for the movement
As the genocidal intent of Israel’s settler colonial project has become inescapably clear, strategies informed by the liberal Zionist desire to rescue or reform the Zionist project have been replaced by a focus on ending the genocide and to challenging the very foundations of the Zionist project. The re-election of Donald Trump portends an escalation of Israel’s project of ethnic cleansing and colonization. The ceasefire agreement for Gaza is crashing on the rocks of the realization that this “agreement” is simply a further step in putting an end to Palestinian national aspirations. Severely increased violence in the West Bank, both structural and overt, provides further evidence of the duplicity of any talk of Palestinian statehood or sovereignty. Indeed, we may be approaching the end of what Rashid Khalidi has termed the “One Hundred Years’ War on Palestine.”
What does this mean for our movement? Is it the time for a reset? In this forum we will take stock of the movement for Palestine in the United States and globally. What are the achievements that can be built on and what are the challenges of the present moment? Ample time will be given to sharing and discussion, which will set the stage for Part 2 (Saturday, May 17), which will consider the key roles played by the ascendancy of Christian nationalism and the weaponization of antisemitism. Register now for this April 19 Zoom forum.

About the Speaker:
Dr. Mark Braverman is Jewish American with deep family roots in the Holy Land. Raised in a traditional Jewish family, he was schooled in the potent combination of rabbinic Judaism and political Zionism that continues to dominate contemporary Jewish identity, an identity that for Mark was transformed by his encounter with the Palestinian people. He is the Executive Director of Kairos USA, a member organization of the Kairos for Justice Coalition, a global network formed in response to the Palestinian call. Mark has lectured and trained internationally and is the author of two books, Fatal Embrace: Christians, Jews, and the Search for Peace in the Holy Land and A Wall in Jerusalem: Hope, Healing, and the Struggle for Peace and articles and book chapters, including the 2022 “Theology in the Shadow of the Holocaust: Revisiting Bonhoeffer and the Jews.”

📍Rapson Hall, Room 100
89 Church Street SE
⏰ 3 PM
As we prepare for the Nakba March on Saturday, May 17, join us on Thursday May 15 to watch the film, “The Palestine Exception.” Let us not be silent about the ongoing Nakba in Palestine!
About the film: “After years of right-wing assaults on higher education, attacks took a new form in 2023 and 2024 that has been described as the new McCarthyism. As students across the country organize protests against Israel’s war on Gaza, decades-long taboos in academia around criticism of Israel–the “Palestine exception”–are shattered. This film features professors and students as they join calls for a ceasefire and divestment from companies that do business with Israel and face waves of crackdown from administrators, the media, the police and politicians. Scholars from diverse disciplines explain what is at stake in these protests and why so many young people identify with the Palestinian cause. The documentary unfolds as a story of college campuses as sites of both rebellion and repression, places where personal and collective histories converge in unexpected ways.“

Annie Jacobsen’s 2024 bestseller, Nuclear War: A Scenario describes second by second how the launch of a single nuclear weapon could end up destroying civilization in 72 minutes. This new book by Timmon Wallis describes a second by second scenario that leads, instead, to the complete elimination of these weapons – before it’s too late. Maybe not as gripping as an account of nuclear war unfolding in real time, but absolutely essential reading for all who want to avoid one.
Timmon Wallis is a former Executive Director of Nonviolent Peaceforce, founded in the Twin Cities and currently working in 10 countries to protect civilians caught up in violence and armed conflict. He is currently Executive Director of NuclearBan.US, working to build support in the US for the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. Timmon was directly involved in the negotiations at the UN which led to this treaty, and which won his colleagues in the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize.
Thomas Hanson is a former U.S. Foreign Service Officer with the Department of State whose diplomatic postings included East Germany, France, Norway, the Soviet Union, Sweden, and the former Soviet Republic of Georgia. He also participated in the opening of new U.S. embassies in Mongolia and Estonia, worked on the Foreign Relations Committees of the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, and served as Director for NATO and European Affairs at the Atlantic Council of the United States in Washington, D.C.
Mr. Hanson currently is Diplomat in Residence at the Alworth Institute for International Affairs at the University of Minnesota – Duluth and has taught diplomacy at Carleton College. He also serves as Chair of the Minnesota Committee on Foreign Relations and as Co-Chair of the Minnesota International Business Council. He is a past board member of the Oslo Center for Peace and Human Rights and Director at the Institute for Eastern Europe and Central Asia (IEECA). He is also a member of the U.S. Foreign Policy Working Group of the British International Studies Association (BISA) as well as the Council of Advisers at the Museum of Russian Art and the Minnesota Peace Initiative (MPI) at Norway House.
As a member of the Great Decisions speakers bureau of Global Minnesota, Mr. Hanson speaks frequently on international issues and contributes to local and international media.

Can’t attend but want to sponsor a walker? Go to: womenagainstmilitarymadness.org/donate

Women Against Military Madness is now in its 43rd year and would love to have you join WAMM’s 18th annual Walk Against Weapons of War on Saturday, June 7, 2025. We will gather at Langford Park in St. Paul at 10:30 AM (near Como Ave and Energy Park Drive). We will walk about one mile to ForwardEdge ASIC (a subsidiary of Lockheed Martin) for a rally before returning to the park.
It is shocking and unconscionable: the billions of dollars that the United States is spending on war and weapons of war for death and destruction instead of people’s needs at home. The world’s largest weapons manufacturer, Lockheed Martin, supplies Israel with F-16 and F-35 fighter jets, which Israel has been using extensively to bomb Gaza. Israel also uses the company’s C-130 Hercules transport planes to support the ground invasion of Gaza.
Just for your information, June 7th is also St. Anthony Park’s art festival along Como Avenue. Como Avenue is open to traffic. You may want to check out the art and music after WAMM’s walk.

🇵🇸 DFL DINES WHILE GAZA STARVES 🇵🇸

DFL DINES WHILE GAZA STARVES Oppose Trump’s agenda! Divest Minnesota from Israel! Rally outside the DFL’s annual Humphrey-Mondale Dinner fundraiser The Minneapolis Hilton, 1001 Marquette Ave. Friday, June 13 5 PMIsrael’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 Israel’s much-criticized distribution sites. Even major U.S. allies are beginning to cut support for Israel’s ethnic cleansing system in Palestine.Join 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 SBI’s board members and are prominent DFLers. They have the power to take action against both the ongoing genocide, and against Trump’s extremist, full throttle attacks on all fronts, domestically and abroad.State divestment from Israel would not only weaken support for its massacres in Palestine — it would send an important message that Minnesota is ready to fight Trump’s agenda across the board.It’s time for the SBI and DFL members to do what’s right:Oppose Trump’s agenda! Divest Minnesota from Israel! Organized by MN AWC, sponsored by WAMM
