A very serious situation is unfolding in Jacksonville Florida. Yesterday activists holding an anti-war protest in Jacksonville, FL were attacked by far-right provocateurs and the Jacksonville Sheriffs Office (JSO) who appeared to be working in a coordinated effort.

#HandsOffSyria

By WI BOPM

On April 8 in Madison, protesters came out to Library Mall to demand the U.S. stop its war on Syria. A diverse group of labor-community representatives participated.

“We uphold the right of Syria to self determination as they face ruthless attempts  by the U.S. and other imperialists intent on ‘regime change’ and destabilization efforts. It’s not just Trump who is attacking Syria but the entire U.S. capitalist class with their racist imperialist ideology. We demand of the U.S. a complete ceasefire and withdrawal from Syria. We demand money for people’s needs including reparations for people of African descent right here in Wisconsin. We will remain in the streets until U.S. capitalism and imperialism are defeated,” said Zach Gevelinger of Wisconsin Bail Out the People.

Youth and students and a variety members from many labor-community groups participated in the protest which was sponsored by the Iraq Veterans Against the War – Milwaukee, the Milwaukee Antiwar Committee and the Milwaukee Coalition Against Trump with support from the Wisconsin Bail Out The People Movement and other organizations.

Activists in the Movement for Black Lives strongly condemned the U.S. missile strikes on a Syrian government airfield Friday. In tweets sent after news of the strikes were confirmed in a statement from President Donald Trump, leaders within the Black Lives Matter Global Network and the Black Youth Project 100, among others, expressed dismay at the U.S. intervention in Syria.

“The people of #Syria are carrying the weight of American fascism. 206,500 pounds of missiles launched by #DFT today, to be exact,” the BLM Global Network tweeted early Friday morning.
