SUMMARY:Say NO to NATO
DESCRIPTION:Say NO to NATO\nTuesday\, July 11\, 2023\,  5:00 PM\nSen Klobuchar’s office\, 1200 Washington Ave\, Mpls (near the intersection of 35W and Washington Ave.)\n\nNATO is meeting July 11-12 where they have announced they will put 300\,000 forces on higher readiness\, tighten air & missile defense\, and reaffirm Ukraine’s rightful place is in NATO. At every moment NATO has worked to INCREASE tension in Ukraine. NATO is a military alliance aimed at Russia and has always been seen as a force for aggression. This plus the $46.6 billion the US has sent in military assistance is PROLONGING the conflict. We call for negotiations and for peace which can’t happen while NATO is saber rattling.\nInitiated by MN Peace Action Coalition.

SUMMARY:Stop the Attacks on Queer and Trans Rights!
DESCRIPTION:Stop the Attacks on Queen and Trans Rights rally\nFriday\, July 14\, 2023\, The Commons\, 425 Portland Ave in downtown Minneapolis\n\nJoin Taking Back Pride Coalition to protest ongoing attacks made by SCOTUS on LGBTQ+\, Black and Brown\, and working class people on Friday\, July 14th at 4pm at The Commons park in downtown Minneapolis\n\nWe know that the recent ruling in favor or 303 Creative LLC to discriminate against LGBTQ+ people is just the beginning. Besides hurting Queer people\, it provides legal precedent for discrimination against Black and Brown people\, as well as many other groups. Now is not the time to be neutral! Roe was just the beginning of this courts attacks; cases like Obergefell and Loving\, that established legally recognized Gay and Interracial marriage respectively\, and Lawrence\, that recognized sodomy laws as unconstitutional\, will be on the chopping block. If we want to keep what few rights we have today\, we have to be willing to take to the streets! We won’t go back in the closet\, and we won’t go back to Jim Crow!\n\nSponsorred by Taking Back Pride Coalition\, MN Abortion Rights Committee\, Twin Cities Justice 4 Jamar\, Minneapolis Community for Police Accountability Commission\, Anti-War Committee\, Women Against Military Madness and Freedom Road Socialist Organization-Twin Cities.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Silvio Rodríguez - My First Calling
DESCRIPTION:Film Screening: Silvio Rodriquez – My First Calling\nWednesday\, July 26\, 2023 at 7 pm\nLind Hall Room 302\, U of Minnesota East Bank\n207 Church St SE in Minneapoolis\n\n\nWhat Difference Could a Revolution Make? Lessons from Cuba’s Literacy Campaign\n\nThis year’s July 26th is the 70th anniversary of the attack on the U.S.-backed Fulgencio Batista dictatorship’s Moncada barracks in Santiago\, led by Fidel Castro. This was the opening gun of the Cuban Revolution. This year is also the 125th anniversary of Washington’s invasion of Cuba. This meeting will discuss one of the earliest great accomplishments of the Cuban revolution – the 1961 literacy campaign\, when a quarter of a million volunteers\, the brigadistas\, who were mostly young women\, went to every corner of Cuba to teach people to read and write. They packed their bags and set out for the remotest villages\, many without electricity or running water. In a little over a year\, literacy rates in Cuba went from only 60%-76% to almost 100%.\n\nWhy did the Cuban revolution prioritize literacy?

SUMMARY:July Cuba Car Caravan (in St. Paul) Second Anniversary!
DESCRIPTION:July Cuba Car Caravan (in St. Paul) Second Anniversary!\nSunday\, July 30\, 2023\, 1-3 pm\nTarget Store\, Midway\, 1300 University Ave W in Saint Paul 55104 \nNOTE THE NEW LOCATION – IN ST. PAUL!!\n\nIt’s SCOTA’s and MN Cuba Committee’s 2nd caravan anniversary! JOIN US at Midway St. Paul’s Target parking lot\n1300 University Ave W\, St Paul\, MN 55104 (gathering and rally at the parking lot closer to the Hamline Light Rail Station)\n\nWe join the nationwide monthly caravans first organized by Miami-based Puentes de Amor (Bridges of Love) to show our love for Cuba.\n-End the U.S. Blockade of Cuba\n-Take Cuba off the U.S. State Sponsors of Terrorism\n\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 end the Trump administration’s terrorism designation for Cuba and to reinstate Obama-era policy for the island.\n\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\n\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.
