End the Economic War on Cuba Protest
2024-10-28 16:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | Minneapolis Federal Building, 300 S 4th St, Minneapolis, MN, 55415, United States
Monday, October 28, 2024, 4:00 pm, Minneapolis Federal Building, 4th St and 4th Ave
END THE BLOCKADE NOW! For 32 years the United Nations General Assembly has voted every year, almost unanimously, to end the US economic blockade against Cuba, which the US has imposed for over 60 years causing considerable hardship on the people of Cuba. In 2021 the US added the designation of Cuba as a “state sponsor of terrorism,” a false charge that nonetheless leads to more sanctions. This year the UN will be voting on the US sanctions on Cuba on October 29.
We stand with the world. Join with the MN Cuba Committee, Solidarity Committee on the Americas and others to protest this cruel unjust and illegal aggression against Cuba.

Weapons out of Minnesota! Lockheed out of St Paul!

Join us to say no Minnesota money for weapons manufacturers.

Post-Election Protest
2024-11-06 17:00 - 18:00 | Mayday Plaza, 301 Cedar Ave, Minneapolis, MN, 55455, United States
Wednesday, November 6, 2024, 5:00 PM, Mayday Plaza, 301 Cedar Ave S, Minneapolis

Join us for a post-election protest!
No matter the outcome, we keep up the fight!
Protest to stand for a free Palestine and a broad people’s agenda at home!

The day after the presidential election, even if results are still being tallied, we know we will have to keep up the fight for everything that working and oppressed people need. We have nothing in common with the ruling class candidates on the ballot. Harris and Trump both support Israel’s genocide. They both hate immigrants. And while Trump has promised to wreak havoc on reproductive and women’s rights, workers rights, the climate, police accountability and anything else we care about, Harris will need to be pushed on these too. Their election will not stop our fight.

Please join Veterans For Peace as we give pause on this day of remembering the 100th Anniversary of the signing of the Armistice of 1918, ending World War 1, the bloodiest and most destructive war in the history of humankind, what we have become in this country. A country of unending war with a Pentagon that consumes over half of our tax dollars, the world’s largest arms dealer and where politicians no longer even speak of Peace and Genocide is now ok and supported by our government. Remembering that it was a day about Peace and was to be the War to End All Wars. Let us Reclaim Armistice Day and become once again a Nation and a World committed to Peace “through good will and mutual understanding.”

We will gather at the monument at 44th Ave N in Minneapolis at 10:45 am and commence with our bell ringing at 11:00 am. Also some will march from 33rd and Victory Memorial Drive to the monument passing by the markers of those lives lost in WW1 beginning at 9:30am.

Rally to Close Monticello Nuclear Plant!

UPCOMING RALLY ✊☮️🌎! Close Monticello Nuclear Plant!
We oppose Xcel Energy’s request to extend, for 20 more years, the current operating license of Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The plant on the Mississippi River, 35 miles northwest of Minneapolis, is 53 years old, already among the three oldest in the United States. Recent radioactive leaks at the reactor pose serious threats to public health, the Mississippi River, and drinking water for millions.
Tell Xcel to shut down the ancient Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant!
Organized by Coalition For a Nuclear-Free Mississippi River, WAMM, and Indigenous Earth Protectors
++++++++++++++++++++++++++
⚠️ Sign the Petition to Demand 2030 Monticello Nuclear Reactor Closure ⚠️
Please take one minute to sign a petition demanding to keep the Monticello Nuclear Reactor’s 2030 closure date as Xcel Energy seeks to run its 53 year-old reactor for another 20 years!
A massive leak at the reactor in 2022 released radioactivity into the Mississippi River and contaminated the groundwater beneath the reactor with levels of radioactive tritium 250 times greater than the EPA’s safe drinking water limit.
Please share this widely. Help us reach one million signatures by the end of this year, before the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission issues its decision to keep this reactor operating!

While Crisis Pregnancy Centers claim to offer material support such as childcare and diapers, we know that these services are often contingent on religious-based counseling. They want to lure people in the door so they can spread their anti-abortion message.
In MNAAC, we believe everyone should have the resources they need to raise children in dignity — no strings attached. Help support orgs like CANMN who are providing real material support as we fight for reproductive justice for all!

Nina’s Story: The Life of a Palestinian Woman

About the speaker: Nina Cullers was born in Katamon, West Jerusalem during the British Mandate. After the Nakba her family lived in Bethlehem. After high school Nina worked for UNRWA in Hebron, the Dheisheh Camp outside of Bethlehem and Beit Safafa. Her work was as a teacher, head teacher and finally as a supervisor of practice teachers. Nina then went on to earn a degree in education from Beirut Women’s College, now American Lebanese University. Nina now resides in Virginia in the United States. She has been a board member of the Bethlehem Association of the Episcopal Church for 26 years. Additionally, she continues advocacy work for Palestine. She recently published her memoir, “Living Through the Nakba: Tales of a Palestinian Youth.”
Nina’s memoir, “Living Through the Nakba: Tales of a Palestinian Youth” is just the beginning of her lifelong experiences as a Palestinian woman. Travel with her through her life in our forum. Children and her Palestinian heritage are very important to Nina. In her memoir she says, “Teach them (children) our tradition, our art, our songs, our poetry and remind them that they came from honorable, brave people who cared for humanity.”’ Her work with children began with teaching in UNRWA schools. After the 1949 Armistice her family came to the realization that they had no home to go to. Share this experience with Nina. Come with her to the present day as we hear her say, “I urge all Palestinians to remember our past, our history, our family values and to instill these values in our children.”
Toward the end of the forum we will have a conversation with Nina about parallels between her life experiences and what is happening to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza today.
NOTE: A brief annual MEPN meeting will be held for a few minutes before our forum begins. It will feature a message from our president, Janet Tollund, along with finance and membership updates. An election for new board members will conclude the meeting.

Green Party Webinar on Climate and the Military
2024-12-09 19:00 - 20:00 | Online Event
Monday, December 9, 2024, 7:00 PM CST, Online webinar, Click here to register
“Green Party Webinar on Climate and the Military – Mon. Dec. 9”
On Monday, December 9, at 8 PM (EST) the EcoAction Committee and the Green Party Peace Action Committee are holding a webinar on the issue of the military and climate change. Speakers will include Haig Hovaness of GPAX; Prof. David Schwartzman of EcoAction; and Sue Ann Martinson of the End Military Madness Against the Earth Committee of WAMM (Women Against Military Madness). Pre-registration is required. RSVP Here.
The military impacts climate change in multiple ways. War and military conflicts are environmental and climate disasters. Severe weather events and global warming destabilize countries, especially those with already unstable governments and under-resourced infrastructure. The competition for land, water, and food, as well as dealing with potentially tens of millions of climate refugees (including many already coming to the US), increases the likelihood of military conflicts between countries.
The global military, with the Pentagon in the lead, has been the biggest greenhouse gas emissions of any institution on the planet, representing between 1 to 5% of annual emissions. The $2 trillion spent on the military worldwide diverts resources that could be spent on climate action instead. And many wars are fought over access to fossil fuels.
The Green Party Peace Action Committee (GPAX) works to strengthen the peace pillar of the USGP. GPAX supports peace actions, produces anti-war webinars, issues public statements, and assists GP candidates for political office. GPAX welcomes new members who wish to participate in this work. The EcoAction Committee promotes ecological wisdom, environmental justice, sustainability and responsible governmental stewardship of the Earth and its inhabitants.
Haig Hovaness is the Co-Chair of GPAX. He has written and spoken on defense issues and the danger of conflict escalation. Haig has a professional background in information technology. Videos of his GPAX presentations are available at the GPAX website, https://gpax.gpus.org/
Women Against Military Madness (WAMM) is a member-based organization whose mission is to oppose U.S. militarism and involvement in wars. WAMM challenges systems of harm, oppression and exploitation, and helps build movements of solidarity with others for peace and justice through education and action.
David Schwartzman is a member of the EcoAction Committee. He is a Professor Emeritus, Howard University (biogeochemist, environmental scientist, PhD, Brown University) and an active member of the DC Statehood Green Party/Green Party of the United States. He will focus on the need for the near future defeat of militarized fossil capital and its political instruments.

Second Monday Movie Presents…GOD & COUNTRY
Monday, December 9, 2024, 7:00pm, 4200 Cedar Ave S

Christian nationalism is the belief that America should be defined as a Christian nation, with government adherence to this ideology. GOD & COUNTRY takes a closer look at the dangerous implications and explores how a base of Christians has radically stoked a movement erasing the line between Church and State.
GOD & COUNTRY speaks directly to the almost 200,000,000 Americans who identify as Christians. Christians who fear their faith is being hijacked by an extreme right wing political movement known as Christian nationalism.

The MN State Board of Investment attempted to prevent us from protesting their meetings.
But the Free Palestine Coalition will be there. Hundreds of Minnesotans have turned out to pack State Board of Investment meetings and send a clear message: public pension money should not be used to fund genocide! The State Board of Investment has responded by trying to move their meetings online. They have now gone back on that decision, adopting hybrid meetings.
The fact that the board feels the need to shut down public comment at their meetings and try to prevent us from attending is evidence of the strength of our movement.
Help us pack the room to demonstrate that the Palestine solidarity movement isn’t going anywhere, and that we demand divestment now.

“The Gaza Catastrophe: What Next for Palestine & Israel?” with Khaled Elgindy
Forum topic: More than a year after the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel, Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza shows no sign of letting up, even as the conflict has now spread to Lebanon and beyond. The war on Gaza has killed at least 43,000 people, forcibly displaced nearly all of Gaza’s 2.3 million inhabitants, and reduced most of the coastal enclave to rubble, while starvation and disease continue to spread at an alarming rate. The conflict is already the deadliest moment in Palestinian history and the most destructive episode in the century-old conflict in Israel-Palestine. Why have U.S.-backed ceasefire efforts continued to fail? What future is there for Gaza and its devastated population? What are the long-term repercussions of the current Gaza catastrophe for Israeli security, Palestinian self-determination, and a peaceful settlement between Palestinians and Israelis?
About the speaker: Khaled Elgindy is director of the Middle East Institute’s Program on Palestine and Palestinian-Israeli Affairs and adjunct instructor in Arab Studies at Georgetown University. He is the author of the 2019 book, Blind Spot: America and the Palestinians, from Balfour to Trump (Brookings Institution Press). Elgindy previously served as a resident scholar in the Foreign Policy program at the Brookings Institution from 2010 through 2018. Prior to arriving at Brookings, he served as an adviser to the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah on permanent status negotiations with Israel from 2004 to 2009, and was a key participant in the Annapolis negotiations of 2007-08.
