Join us for a presentation and Q+A. Learn more about the BDS movement and its importance\, and find out how you can get involved!\n\nOrganized by the Anti-War Committee.

SUMMARY:Show Your Love for Venezuela!
DESCRIPTION:Show Your Love for Venezuela!\nFriday\, Feb 10th from 7-9 pm\n4200 Cedar Ave. S\, Minneapolis\n\nThe Anti-War Committee is sending 2 committee members on a delegation to Venezuela in March to learn about the effects of US sanctions first hand. Trump’s Muslim ban (which included Venezuela) made it difficult for Venezuelans to come here and US sanctions have made the situation very difficult for Venezuelans during a global pandemic. Sending folks from MN is an important act of solidarity and will bring back needed information! Help us send them to Venezuela on the upcoming Alliance for Global Justice delegation.\n\nThere will also be a silent auction so you can bid on a Valentines Day gift basket.\n\nDonations can be tax deductible and can be made out to the Anti-War Education Fund with Venezuela in the memo or made online.

SUMMARY:Coffee Hour: Take Cuba off the US "State Sponsors of Terrorism" list
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 11\,  2023 10:00-11:30 am\n4200 Cedar Avenue South in Minneapolis\n\nJoin us in person for coffee and bagels or tune into Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89551204797\n\nIn the opinion of the US Department of State\, Cuba is a “terrorist state.” It is part of a list of a few countries determined by the United States to receive that designation.

This list has damaged the people of Cuba and similarly affected other countries on the list.\n\nWe are pleased to have as our primary speaker David Ramírez Álvarez\, Second Secretary of the Embassy of the Republic of Cuba in Washington\, D.C. who will speak about the impact of the list on Cubans and their economy.\n\nWe will also have brief talks about how the US State Sponsors of Terrorism list impacts people in other countries on the list. We are delighted to be joined by Sima Shakhsari\, co-founder of the No Sanctions on Iran Coalition and Chair and Director of Graduate Studies at the Department of Gender\, Women and Sexuality Studies at the University of Minnesota\, and Wyatt Miller\, a member of the Anti-War Committee who recently traveled to Syria with the Syria Solidarity Movement and Arab-Americans 4 Syria.\n\nWe will encourage participants to take action to remove Cuba from the US State Sponsors of Terrorism list and provide them with tools to take action.\n\nSponsors: Solidarity Committee on the Americas (SCOTA)\, Minnesota Cuba Committee\, Witness for Peace Solidarity Collective\, Veterans for Peace\, Chapter 27\, Twin Cities CPUSA\, Minnesota Peace Action Coalition.

SUMMARY:Call-in days - messages for President Biden and Senators Klobuchar and Smith
DESCRIPTION:FEB 13 AT 8 AM – FEB 15 AT 6 PM \nA VALENTINE TO CUBA -MINNESOTA LOVES CUBA:\nPART OF THE CAMPAIGN TO TAKE CUBA OFF THE US STATE SPONSORS OF TERRORISM LIST.\\n\n\nCall-in days from Feb. 13-15 – messages for President Biden and Senators Klobuchar and Smith\nWe will provide phone numbers and scripts closer to the dates of the call in days. You can find this information on this Facebook post.\nBackground information:\n\nSCOTA is committed to support 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 to take action against Cuba being on the US State Sponsors of Terrorism list.\n\nNine days before leaving office\, Trump designated Cuba a State Sponsor of Terrorism. Two years later\, Biden has kept Cuba on the terrorism blacklist. 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. We can urge Senators Klobuchar and Smith and our congressional delegation to advocate with President Biden to remove Cuba from the list. Most importantly we must demand that President Biden remove Cuba from this list.\n\nPlease join SCOTA campaign to take Cuba off the list and support the Cuban people. Our campaign will take place in February to show the love of Minnesotans for the Cuban people.

SUMMARY:Neoliberal Apartheid And Imperial Policing With Andy Clarno
DESCRIPTION:SATURDAY\, FEBRUARY 25\, 2023 AT 10 AM – 11:30 AM\nOnline Event\nhttps://us02web.zoom.us/…/reg…/WN_Q46038RMTUiSLbI5CuwRrg\n\nAs apartheid becomes a popular framework for analyzing Palestine/Israel today\, a look at the limits of liberation in “post-apartheid” South Africa challenges us rethink the definition of what apartheid is and when it ends. Against the dominant definition of apartheid\, the radical wing of the South African liberation movement offered an alternative understanding of apartheid as a system of racial capitalism. Rethinking apartheid with this lens helps us understand extreme inequality\, racialized poverty\, and militarized policing in South Africa\, Palestine/Israel\, and the United States today. Because neoliberal apartheid regimes are highly unstable social formations\, policing becomes ever more essential to the maintenance of social order. Professor Clarno analyzes the policing in Johannesburg\, Jerusalem\, and Chicago by tracing the circulation of knowledge and technology through networks of private and state security forces that coordinate to protect the powerful by policing the racialized poor.\n\nAndy Clarno is associate professor of Sociology and Black Studies and coordinator of the Policing in Chicago Research Group at the University of Illinois at Chicago. He is the author of Neoliberal Apartheid: Palestine/Israel and South Africa after 1994 (University of Chicago Press 2017).\nPlease direct questions about this event to mepn@mepn.org.\n\nThank you to our forum sponsors\, Northfielders for Justice in Palestine and Israel

SUMMARY:February: Cuba Car Caravan
DESCRIPTION:February: Cuba Car Caravan -Take Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsored Terrorism List \nSUNDAY Feb 26 AT 1 PM – 3 PM \nWe are rounding out our “Show Love for Cuba” month with our monthly car caravan.\n-End the U.S. Blockade of Cuba\n-Take Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism\nJoin SCOTA\, the Minnesota Cuba Committee and others for our monthly car caravan against the US blockade of Cuba. Meet us at South High School in Minneapolis or WATCH LIVE on this page.\nThis month we’re focusing on 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 reverse 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 U.S. claim that Marco Rubio\, Bob Menendez and Ted Cruz anti-Cuba campaign represents us.\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. Watch this video\, produced by Cuban-Americans in Miami for the September 25 caravans (in Spanish with English subtitles).\nhttps://youtu.be/WNkUgppYJBE\n\n\nCar caravan details:\nSouth High School parking lot\, 3131 19th Ave So\, Minneapolis\n12:30: Volunteer car marshal training\n1:00: Line up and add signs and flags to cars at South High School parking lot\, 3131 19th Ave So\, Minneapolis. Signs and car flags will be available or bring your own. Caravan sponsors will make brief remarks.\n1:30: Caravan begins – left out of the parking lot on 21st Street\, left on Lake Street\, right on First Ave. South\, left through the Post Office parking lot\, left on Blaisdell and left on Lake back to South High.\n2:30: Brief closing rally at South High parking lot.\nThe lead car will be in contact with participating cars – details will be provided at the rally site.\nContact 612-437-0222 for more information or if you’re joining late.
