SUMMARY:August Cuba Bannering in St. Paul
DESCRIPTION:August Cuba Bannering in St. Paul\nSunday\, August 27\, 2023\, 1:00-3:00 pm\nMain Gate of the MN State Fair\, Snelling Ave and Midway Parkway\, St. Paul. \nNOTE THE NEW LOCATION – IN ST. PAUL!!\n\nNot a caravan but a Bannering for Cuba!\nSince the Great Minnesota Get Together is happening today\, we are going to gather to hold a banner\, flags\, signs and pass out information at the main gate entrance located on Snelling Ave and Midway Parkway\, St. Paul.\nBring your banners\, signs\, flags and join us!\n \nBackground: Miami-based Puentes de Amor (Bridges of Love) to show our love for Cuba has nationwide monthly caravans and was the first to organize them.\n-End the U.S. Blockade of Cuba-Take Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism\nWe focus on ending the 60 year U.S. blockade on Cuba and the continuation of Cuba on the list of nations that the U.S. designates as “terrorist.”\nMore than 10\,000 people and 100 progressive advocacy groups have signed an open letter urging President Joe Biden to end the Trump administration’s terrorism designation for Cuba and to reinstate Obama-era policy for the island.\nThe international outcry against the U.S. intentional starvation blockade of Cuba is growing. These actions powerfully refute the claims by anti-Cuba Senators Marco Rubio\, Robert Menendez and Ted Cruz.\nNow in their third year\, the public bike and car caravans that started in Miami\, and led by Cuban-Americans\, have broken up that myth\n\nSponsored by Solidarity Committee of the Americas and the MN Cuba Committee.

SUMMARY:Middle East Peace Now September Forum
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, September 16\, 2023\, 10:00 – 11:30 a.m. \nOnline event\, clink link here to register \nCo-sponsored event sponsored by Middle East Peace Now (MEPN). \nUS Policy Toward Israel At a Turning Point\, with Mitchell Plitnick\, President\, ReThinking Foreign Policy\nThe perception of Israel in the United States\, in virtually every corner except the halls of Congress\, has undergone a radical transformation in 2023. Ongoing and escalating violence by settlers\, while not new\, has reached unprecedented heights and the involvement of Israeli military and security forces in those attacks has gotten more exposure than ever before. Israel’s own radically right-wing government has escalated military attacks as well\, with the attack on Jenin in June highlighting a growing understanding that Israel is\, at best\, disregarding Palestinian lives. Yet despite Israel’s escalating violence and its de facto annexation of much of the West Bank\, mainstream congressional Democrats have doubled down on their support for Israel while the Biden administration has accelerated efforts to broker a normalization agreement between Israel and Saudi Arabia. I will discuss the implications of all of these factors and how they are connected.Mitchell Plitnick\, a political analyst and writer\, is the president of ReThinking Foreign Policy.  He is the author\, with Marc Lamont Hill\, of Except for Palestine: The Limits of Progressive Politics. Mitchell’s previous positions include vice president at the Foundation for Middle East Peace\, Director of the US Office of B’Tselem: The Israeli Information Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories\, and Co-Director of Jewish Voice for Peace. His writing has appeared in Ha’aretz\, the New Republic\, Mondoweiss\, Responsible Statecraft\, The New Arab\, Middle East Report\, LobeLog\, the San Francisco Chronicle\, +972 Magazine\, and other outlets. He has spoken all over the country on Middle East politics and has regularly offered commentary in a wide range of radio and television outlets including PBS News Hour\, the O’Reilly Factor\, i24 (Israel)\, Pacifica Radio\, CNBC Asia and others. Plitnick graduated with honors from UC Berkeley in Middle Eastern Studies and wrote his thesis on Israeli and Jewish historiography. He earned his Masters Degree from the University of Maryland\, College Park’s School of Public Policy. You can find him on Twitter @MJPlitnick.Thank you to our forum sponsors\, Northfielders for Justice in Palestine/Israel\, Women Against Military MadnessPlease email mepn@mepn.org with any questions.

SUMMARY:Camp Ripley Peace Vigil
DESCRIPTION:Camp Ripley Peace Vigil\nSunday\, September 17\, 2023 10:00 am – 2:00 pm\nCamp Ripley\n15000 Highway 115\, north of Little Falls \nBrainerd Area Coalition for Peace (BACP) and Brainerd Lakes Area Democratic Socialists of America (BLA DSA) will hold a peace vigil outside of Camp Ripley on Sunday\, September 17.\nThe vigil is scheduled to last from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.\, the time Camp Ripley hosts Open House Day. Vigil participants can join all or part of the peace vigil.\nSigns\, banners\, and flags are available for vigil participants or vigil participants can bring signs to the vigil.\n\nCamp Ripley is located at 15000 Highway 115\, north of Little Falls. Vigil participants may park along the right-of-way.\n\nThe vigil seeks to increase public awareness of the devastation drone warfare causes by protesting against Camp Ripley’s drone pilot training program. Camp Ripley does not fly drones overseas\, but the training it provides enables pilots to use killer drones.)\n\nThe vigil will demand the termination of drone warfare\, the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. forces from the Middle East\, and a complete end to U.S. support for Saudi Arabia’s brutal war on Yemen.\n\nThe vigil supports a ceasefire and a peace settlement between Russia and Ukraine to end the Ukraine War. The vigil opposes the U.S. arming\, funding\, and training the Ukrainian military as these actions prolong the Ukraine War and risk a catastrophic war between the U.S. and Russia. The vigil calls on the U.S. to support every diplomatic effort to end the Ukraine War.\n\nThe vigil opposes the U.S. sanctions regime and regime change operations. The vigil supports the U.S. peacefully resolving disputes with other nations through diplomacy based on international law\, the right to self-determination\, and respect for national sovereignty.\n\nThe vigil will be in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. The vigil supports the Black Lives Matter movement’s demand to demilitarize the police force. (Camp Ripley is a major trainer of state and local police forces.)\n\nThe vigil’s pro-peace message will counter the pro-war propaganda Camp Ripley spreads at Open House Day\, the biannual event when Camp Ripley invites the public to visit the base.\n\nEveryone is welcome to join the Camp Ripley peace vigil.

SUMMARY:September Cuba Car Caravan
DESCRIPTION:September Cuba Car Caravan\n\nEnd the U.S. Blockade of Cuba! (Poner fin al bloqueo estadounidense de Cuba)\nTake Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism! (Sacar a Cuba de la lista de Estados Patrocinadores del Terrorismo de EE.UU)\n\n\nSunday\, September 24\, 2023\, Gather at 1:00 pm\nGriggs-Midway Building in St. Paul\, MN1821 University Ave W\, St Paul\, MN 55104(gather in the parking lot)\nCar caravan details:\n1:00 pm: Line up and add signs and flags to cars at Griggs-Midway. Signs and car flags will be available or bring your own. Caravan sponsors will make brief remarks.1:30 pm (sharp): Caravan begins – Drive on University Avenue to the State Capital and back then return to Griggs-Midway.\n\nDuring the caravan join us on ZOOM! See QR code.\n2:30: Brief closing rally at Griggs-Midway Building parking lot.Contact 612-437-0222 for more information or if you’re joining late.We join the nationwide monthly caravans first organized by Miami-based Puentes de Amor (Bridges of Love) to show our love  for Cuba. \nThis month we’re focusing on the continuation of Cuba on the list of nations that the U.S. designates as “terrorist” and the recent FBI questioning when people visit Cuba. \n \nCome to hear speakers that have experienced FBI questioning and/or FBI raids. We need to stand up and speak out against any form of U.S. government repression against the people of Cuba and their supporters.\nMore than 10\,000 people and 100 progressive advocacy groups have signed an open letter urging President Joe Biden to end the Trump administration’s terrorism designation for Cuba and to reinstate Obama-era policy for the island.We are still organizing to end the US’ 60+year Blockade on Cuba:The international outcry against the U.S. intentional starvation blockade of Cuba is growing. These actions powerfully refute the claims  by anti-Cuba Senators Marco Rubio\, Robert Menendez and Ted Cruz.Now in their third year\, the public bike and car caravans that started in Miami\, and led by Cuban-Americans\, have broken up that myth.\n \n—————————–\nÚnase a SCOTA\, el Comité Cuba de Minnesota y otros en nuestra caravana mensual contra el bloqueo estadounidense a Cuba. Encuéntrenos en el edificio Griggs-Midway (St. Paul) (estacionamiento inferior) o MÍRELO EN VIVO en la página de Facebook.Este mes nos enfocamos en la continuación de Cuba en la lista de naciones que los EE.UU. designa como “terroristas”.\nMás de 10\,000 personas y 100 grupos progresistas han firmado una carta abierta urgiendo al presidente Joe Biden a revertir la designación de terrorismo de la administración Trump para Cuba y restablecer la política de la era Obama para la isla.\nEl clamor internacional contra el bloqueo con intención de causar hambre intencionado de Estados Unidos contra Cuba es cada vez mayor. Estas acciones refutan poderosamente la afirmación estadounidense de que la campaña contra Cuba de Marco Rubio\, Bob Menéndez y Ted Cruz nos representa.\nAhora en su tercer año\, las caravanas públicas de bicicletas y automóviles que comenzaron en Miami y son lideradas por cubano-americanos han roto ese mito.\nInitiated by: Solidarity Committee on the Americas & the MN Cuba Committee\nFacebook event and watch live if one can’t make it to the caravan: September Cuba Car Caravan (Griggs-Midway Building in St. Paul)!

SUMMARY:The Bombing of Cuban Flight 455 and Why it Matters Today
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, October 5th @ 7 pm @ Blegen Hall\, Rm 155 \n269 19th Ave. S\, West Bank\, U of MN\, Mpls\n\nOn October 6\, 1976\, Cubana Flight 455 took off from Barbados en route to Jamaica. Two explosive devices placed on the airplane detonated\, and the plane was ripped apart and plummeted into the ocean below. Innocent men\, women\, and children lost their lives\, including the entire Cuban Olympic fencing team. A new informative and well-researched documentary\, Cubana 455\, details the ties between the CIA and Cuban exile terrorists. In this extraordinary documentary\, it is clear that the Cuban terrorists have no remorse and consider civilian deaths as only collateral damage in their campaign against Cuba. Join us to learn about this tragic event and to demand that the US State Department remove Cuba from the SSOT (State Sponsors of Terrorism) The presence of Cuba on this list is particularly outrageous because it has been a victim of terrorist acts over the past 60 years\, not a perpetrator of them.  Organized by Minnesota Cuba Committee.\nFacebook.
