APPLETON
Sat Aug 30, 11 am – 12 noon — Fox Valley Advocates for Peace Weekly Peace Vigil. Meets at Houdini Plaza, one block north on College and Appleton St. across from the Children’s Museum and City Hall. We meet each Saturday morning to support the rights of Palestinians to life, self-determination and the protection of their homeland. We call for the withdrawal of IDF troops from Gaza and a cessation of military aid for Israel. Because we pledge to be transparent and accountable, we do not allow the wearing of masks. We are not pro-Hamas and we guard against antisemitism. This event is hosted by the Fox Valley Advocates for Peace. kent1952@live.com

Thurs, Aug 28, 6 pm — FILM: War Made Easy. From The Anti-War Film Series. Norman Solomon will join to discuss “The Warfare State of 2025: Enabling Slaughter and Genocide.” Madison Central Library, 201 W. Mifflin St., Room 301. War Made Easy brings to the screen the strategies used by administrations, both Democratic and Republican, to promote their agendas for war from Vietnam to Iraq. By familiarizing viewers with the techniques of war propaganda, War Made Easy encourages viewers to think critically about the messages we are surrounded by, which are designed to promote and prolong policies of militarism. The film is based on Norman Solomon’s book by the same title. Norman Solomon will join us by zoom after the film! Norman is an eminent antiwar activist, media critic and a frequent guest on Democracy Now. Let’s talk with Norman about how we can challenge militarism and its PR machine! You can send a question in advance for Norman to Brad and Janet at warabolition1@gmail.com. Free popcorn. Watch the trailer here.
