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  \n\n\n	Related

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.\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Boycott\, Divestment & Sanctions Panel
DESCRIPTION:Boycott\, Divestment & Sanctions Panel\nThursday\, February 2nd\, 2023 from 7:00-8:30pm\nMayday Bookstore: 301 Cedar Ave S.\, Minneapolis MN\n\nWhat is the BDS Movement?\n\nPalestinian civil society has called on the international community to show solidarity by participating in the Boycott\, Divestment\, and Sanctions (BDS) of Israel.

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.\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Human Rights Day Protest
DESCRIPTION:International Human Rights Day! \nSaturday\, December 10th 2022 at 1:00 PM \n3101 S Bryant Ave\, Minneapolis 55408 \n1pm: Meet at Bryant Square Park with Uptown march to follow. \nThe U.S. uses the language of human rights to justify U.S. intervention in Ukraine and to impose sanctions on Iran\, Venezuela\, and Cuba.\n\nMeanwhile\, the U.S. government continuously refuses to act in support of the basic human rights to education\, healthcare\, housing\, and a live-able planet for our children here at home.\n\nAfter the Supreme Court’s decision overturning Roe v. Wade\, people in the U.S. are also fighting for women’s and reproductive rights.\n\nLastly\, people of color are targeted by police and killed at an outrageous rate in their own communities.\n\nThis comes on top of longstanding U.S. wars and interventions\, which NEVER bring human rights. Instead\, they brutally subject the peoples of the world to occupation and instability while stealing their natural resources and suppressing their rights to self-determination.\n\nWe see it in Palestine\, where the U.S. encourages illegal annexations for Israeli settlers and funds the ongoing war on Palestinians.\n\nJoin with us to demand respect for human rights at home and abroad!\nInitiated by the Anti-War Committee. Co-sponsored by Women Against Military Madness.\n#InternationalHumanRightsDay\n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Defend Abortion: March for More Clinics!
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, July 2\, 2022\, 1:00 PM\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n200 SE Oak St in Minneapolis\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n8 clinics is not enough! With Minnesota’s new status as the Midwest’s sanctuary state for abortion\, we need more clinics to meet the needs of the people in our state and surrounding! \n\n\nIn 1975\, the University of Minnesota closed its only abortion clinic due to pressure from the state legislature and has not offered these services to the people of Minnesota since. Students for a Democratic Society calls on University administrators to stand with us in the fight for legal abortion and OPEN MORE CLINICS NOW! An abortion clinic at every University of Minnesota campus across the state would greatly increase the capacity of our state to meet the growing needs for these procedures and strengthen our status as a sanctuary state! On campus abortion access would also make reproductive care more accessible to students and staff! March with us to demand more clinics NOW!\n\nThis is a student-led action\, but we welcome the Twin Cities community to join us in the streets! We need more clinics\, more funding for existing clinics\, direct state funding to abortion funds\, an end to state funding of anti-abortion “crisis centers”\, and we need the Democrats to codify Roe now!\n\n\n	Related
