SUMMARY:Protest: tell McCullom to vote No on Aid to Israel
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, October 25\, 2023 @ 4 p.m.\nGather at intersection of Lasalle and University\, St. Paul\, MN (one block from Rep. McCollum’s office) \nMcCollum\, who represents St. Paul in the U.S. House\, is a co-sponsor of H.Res.771\, titled “Standing with Israel as it defends itself against the barbaric war launched by Hamas and other terrorists.” \nLikewise\, her phony statement on a ceasefire places blame only on Palestinians and doesn’t even call for Israel to immediately stop its genocidal attacks on Gaza. \nIn the past\, McCollum claimed to be an ally of Palestine and sponsored legislation that would have cut U.S. aid to Israel. It’s time to push her back in that direction. Biden wants $14 billions more for Israel as part of his $106 billion proposal to fund wars across the world – join us to tell Betty McCollum to vote NO! \nInitiated by MN Anti-War Committee. Endorsements to follow.

SUMMARY:Build the Future — Break the U.S. Blockade on Cuba!
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 1\, 2023 at 5:00 pm \nLake Street-Marshall Ave Bridge \nJoin SCOTA on the bridge during the WAMM vigil in support of the United Nations’ vote to End the U.S. Blockade on Cuba!\n\nCuba will bring a resolution to the United Nations to end the cruel (60-year+) U.S. blockade on their country during the United Nations annual vote.\nSCOTA will be participating in a 24-hour global picket in support of the resolution.\nCuba’s resolution calls for: “Necessity of ending economic\, commercial and financial embargo imposed by the United States of America against Cuba.”\nIn 2022\, this resolution was passed overwhelmingly by 185 countries for the 30th consecutive vote at the UN General Assembly\, while the U.S. and one other country voted to continue the blockade\, and a couple of countries abstained.\nWhile the U.S. government continually votes “No” to ending the cruel blockade\, the people of the United States enter the family of nations from around the world to demand “End the Blockade on Cuba” and “Let Cuba Live.”\nThe people of the U.S. shows their support by passing many resolutions (at least 102). These resolutions represent 55 million people.\nWant to join the 24-hr virtual picket?\nSign up here: https://tinyurl.com/24hr4Cuba\nInitiated by the Solidarity Committee on the Americas (FYI: solidaritycommitteeofamericas@gmail.com)\n\n#UNVote4Cuba\n#OffTheListt\n#MejorSinBloqueo

SUMMARY:Biden: Stop Supporting Israel's War!
DESCRIPTION:Wednesday\, November 1\, 2023 @ 5:00 pm \nMinneapolis Federal Building\, 300 S 4th St\, Mpls\, MN \nDemand an end to US support for Israel’s ethnic cleansing of Gaza! Free Palestine!\n\nWe are going public now \nBiden has announced no public events for his visit on November 1st. It appears he is flying into MN for a photo op at a farm and then leaving. Meanwhile Israel is ethnic cleansing Gaza and “genocide Joe” is arming Israel to the teeth. We can’t let Biden come to MN and not express our outrage at US support for Israel’s war. Join us at the Mpls Federal Building for a large protest to unwelcome Biden to MN.

SUMMARY:Bosnia and “Humanitarian Intervention”: The First US/NATO War\, a talk by Michael Livingston
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, December 2\, 2023\, 3:00 pm\, May Day Books – 301 Cedar Ave South\, Minneapolis \nWhile the most recent US/NATO war is fought in Ukraine\, the brutal civil war that ripped apart Bosnia from 1992 to 1995\, ended in the first US/NATO war\, part of a larger dismemberment of Yugoslavia by the US and its key capitalist allies in Europe. NATO’s involvement was purportedly based on the need for humanitarian intervention. \nThis talk explores the background of the war in Bosnia\, and how the destruction of Yugoslavia was created by the Western powers\, the same Western powers who then justified intervention on humanitarian grounds: the need to stop the killing that they themselves had started and fueled. \nBased on the speaker’s research during a 2023 study inside Bosnia\, the talk focuses on current conditions in Bosnia\, the causes and development of the civil war\, and the destruction of the former Yugoslavia\, as well as the education system of Bosnia (the “two schools under one roof” system of segregated education)\, the language divorce (the efforts to create separate languages out of a single language)\, and the state of post-civil war society. \nSponsored by May Day Books. Endorsed by Vets for Peace Chapter 27 and Women Against Military Madness (WAMM) End War committee. \nAbout the Speaker: Michael Livingston has been active in the Peace and Antiwar Movement for over 40 years\, first becoming active in the Central American Movement of the 1980s. He is currently a professor of psychology and holds a Ph.D. in Child Psychology. FFI: email mlivingston@csbsju.edu or call 612.619.7817

SUMMARY:Bannering: Take Cuba off the U. S. State Sponsors of Terrorism List!
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, December 14\, 2023\, 3:30 pm\, corner of Lake St and Chicago Ave\, Mpls \nLocation on the corner of Lake Street and Chicago Avenue\, Minneapolis.Date and Time: Thursday\, December 14th starting 3:30 pm\nEvent initiated by: Solidarity Committee on the Americas and the MN Cuba Committee\n\n\nJoin the Solidarity Committee on the Americas and the MN Cuba Committee with signs and banners to:\nRemove Cuba from the listof the US State Sponsors of Terrorism\nMore than 10\,000 people and 100 progressive advocacy groups have signed an open letter urging President Joe Biden to reverse the Trump administration’s terrorism designation for Cuba and to reinstate Obama-era policy for the island.\nWe are committed to supporting Cuba building a peaceful and prosperous future. We oppose intervention in Cuba by the United States. One way to support a brighter future for Cuba is for us to take action against Cuba being on the US State Sponsor of Terrorism list.\nNine days before leaving office\, Trump designated Cuba a State Sponsor of Terrorism. Since 2021\, Biden has kept Cuba on the terrorism list. Ironically\, Cuba has been a victim of U.S. — based terrorism — not a sponsor of terrorism. There is no credible evidence to support the designation\, which is aimed to devastate Cuba’s economy by cutting it off from international credit and investment. By being on the list\, the resulting sanctions and international restrictions limit Cuba’s ability to purchase medicines for its population and to reboot its economy after the COVID pandemic. The Cuban people are the ones who suffer from these restrictions.\nPresident Biden can unilaterally remove Cuba from the United States list of state sponsors of terrorism by an executive order.\n\nCUBA OFF U.S. TERRORISM LIST!\nEND THE BLOCKADE OF CUBA
