Unabashed in his support for the Palestinian people\, just like his grandfather\, he speaks regularly about Palestinian liberation at conferences\, rallies\, and other events across the world.\n\nMandela\, whose family fought against South African apartheid\, is coming to Minneapolis to speak out against Israeli apartheid and for the rights of Palestinians. The Anti-War Committee and the Twin Cities Coalition for Justice for Jamar are hosting this event to also draw attention to the cooperation between US police forces\, including the Minneapolis Police Force\, and the Israeli Defense Forces.\n\nInitiated by the Anti-War Committee and Twin Cities Coalition for Justice for Jamar.

SUMMARY:Support the 33rd Cuba Friendshipment Caravan
DESCRIPTION:Support the 33rd Cuba Friendshipment Caravan\nThursday\, May 18\, 2023\, 7-9 pm\nCalvary Church 2608 Blaisdell Ave. in Minneapolis 55408 \nSince 1992\, IFCO/Pastors for Peace has organized 31 Friendshipment Caravans to Cuba as challenges to the US government’s economic blockade. These caravans have taken valuable humanitarian aid to Cuba but more importantly have helped demonstrate to the Cuban people that they are not alone and that they have allies even in the ‘belly of the beast’ in the US.\n\nFriendshipment Caravans have also played an important role in making dents in the blockade. We successfully resisted the Bush administration’s attempts to fully criminalize travel to Cuba\, and our work was part of the backdrop to the Obama administration’s partial normalization of relations with Cuba. Now we are actively resisting the re-tightening of the blockade by Trump\, which the Biden administration has so far continued.\n\nThis event is co-sponsored with the Solidarity Committee on the Americas.\n\nFFI: 612-827-5364

SUMMARY:Al Nakba March
DESCRIPTION:Al Nakba March\nSaturday\, May 20\, 2023 at 2 pm\nBryant Square Park\, 3101 Bryant Ave S\, Minneapolis 55408 \nFor Palestinians\, May 15 marks Al-Nakba\, Arabic for ‘the catastrophe’. During the 1948 war\, at least 750\,000 Palestinians were ruthlessly attacked\, massacred\, and driven from their homes by Zionist terror groups\, and have never been allowed to return\, in violation of international law. 2023 marks 75 years of Israeli land theft\, occupation\, and apartheid.\n\nThe US has provided over $150 billion in aid to Israel since 1949. Our tax dollars are paying for the occupation of Palestine.\nWe are not talking about Al-Nakba as a historic event but one that is ongoing. We need to raise our voices and march to denounce the Israeli attacks on the Al-Aqsa Mosque – where worshipers were violently attacked with rubber-coated bullets\, tear gas\, and stun grenades during Ramadan – as well as the bombing attacks on Gaza and the ethnic cleansing of the West Bank and Jerusalem.\nJoin us for our annual Al-Nakba protest to demand:\n-End U.S. aid to Israel\n-The state of MN must divest its over $800 million in state pension funds from Israeli companies and bonds\n-Speaking out for Palestine is not a crime!\n\n\nActivists from MN will attend the national protest in DC on May 13 so we will have our local action the next weekend on May 20.\nOrganized by the Anti-War Committee & American Muslims for Palestine – MN.\nEndorsements (so far):\nCouncil on American-Islamic Relations – MN\nJewish Voice for Peace – Twin Cities\nMiddle East Peace Now\nMN BDS Community\nMN Workers United\nNorthfielders for Justice in Palestine\nStudents for Justice in Palestine – UMN\nThe Red Nation\nTwin Cities Coalition for Justice 4 Jamar\nWomen Against Military Madness\n\n
