Feel free to organize your own disruption as Albright continues her book tour across the U.S.! We can’t let these warmongers have a platform or peace of mind! Call these criminals out where you see them!

NO to U.S. Wars! NO to Albright & Trump!
NO to U.S. War Threats from Republicans or Democrats!

War Criminal Madeleine Albright is Not Welcome to Park Slope!
Demand cancellation of an event promoting war.

As the current U.S. government wages war in Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria and Libya and threatens war in Korea, Iran and even Russia, the people here must stand against any war promotion or provocation.

Community Bookstore in Park Slope, Brooklyn, has invited Madeleine Albright to promote her new book at Congregation Beth Elohim on Tuesday, April 10, at 7:30 pm.

Madeleine Albright is opening a national speaking tour to oppose Trump by promoting new U.S. wars and threatening Russia, China, Venezuela, Syria and Iran.

When new U.S. wars are a daily ominous threat, should the genocide of over a million people of Iraq be ignored in the affluent neighborhood of Park Slope? It is up to you to decide.

These are well-known facts:

Madeleine Albright, who now poses as the opposition to the criminal Trump administration, was Secretary of State, serving Bill Clinton. She publicly defended policies that caused countless deaths and suffering around the globe, including the continuation of genocidal sanctions on Iraq that killed more than 500,000 children.

This is Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’s exchange with Lesley Stahl on national TV:

Lesley Stahl on U.S. sanctions against Iraq: “We have heard that a half million children have died. I mean, that’s more children than died in Hiroshima. And, you know, is the price worth it?”
Secretary of State Madeleine Albright’ response: “I think this is a very hard choice, but the price–we think the price is worth it.”

Madeleine Albright also helped orchestrate the sanctions and the 78 days of the bombing of Yugoslavia in 1999. Albright promoted the sanctions and threats on Iran and Korea.

Never Forget! Protesting Albright means also protesting Trump’s moves toward war.

Organize a protest in your city! 
This racist war criminal is not an expert on fighting fascism —
she helped pave the way for Trump and the neo-nazi resurgence.

Baltimore, May 5: Commemorate the Catonsville 9! Say NO to Racism and War!

Hosted by Peoples Power Assembly and Youth Against War and Racism

Charles and 34th Street, in front of the Johns Hopkins sign, 2-5 P.M.

Fifty years ago, 9 anti-war Catholic activists broke into the local draft board and removed 378 draft files which they burned in front of the recruitment office in Catonsville, MD.

Celebrate their anti-war legacy and say NO to war and racism!

From Syria to Korea, Venezuela to Iran, and even Russia and China the threat of another war by the United States is imminent. The US military has over 1000 foreign bases in dozens of countries throughout the world and uses racism to demonize the people an leadership of countries that oppose the interests of Wall Street. At the same time the police murder oppressed people with impunity right here at home and use the same racism to justify it.

These are intimately connected issues and we call upon young people everywhere to stand up and resist the drive to war, both at home and abroad. Tell the Pentagon and their banker masters that we won’t fight in their war! Our struggle is right here in the streets!

Join us at Charles and 34th Street in front of the John’s Hopkins University sign for a rally and march on Saturday May 5th at 2pm.

Detroit, April 14, 2018: Spring Action Against Wars at home & Abroad

Hosted by Moratorium NOW! Coalition and Michigan Emergency Committee Against War & Injustice (MECAWI)

End the Wars at Home and Abroad!

Rally at Campus Martius. This is the Detroit mobilization called as part of national regional spring actions throughout the country.

Join us! Share with Facebook friends. Spread the word.

The U.S. government and its leading Pentagon generals openly and repeatedly threatened nuclear war or massive military intervention against sovereign nations. Such is the case today with North Korea, Iran and Venezuela. Simultaneously, U.S. military forces are at war in several nations including Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Yemen, and Somalia. Hundreds of U.S. military bases circle the globe in more than 170 foreign countries at the cost of $trillions while these same $trillions are subtracted from critical social programs at home. $Trillions in tax cuts and corporate bailouts are granted to the super rich while the war at home takes on virulent racist, sexist, anti-immigrant, Islamophobic and homophobic forms.

– End U.S. overt and covert wars, drone wars, sanction/embargo wars, and death squad assassination wars.

— Close of all U.S. bases on foreign soil. Dismantle all nuclear weapons.

— Bring all U.S. troops home now. Self-determination not military intervention. U.S. hands off the Middle East, Africa, Asia and

Latin America. End military aid to apartheid Israel. Self-determination for Palestine. The U.S. cannot be the cop of the world.

– $Trillions for human needs… for jobs and social services, quality debt-free education and single payer health care. No to anti-

union legislation. For $15 and a Union Now.

– Defend the environment against life-threatening fossil fuel-induced global warming. For a just transition to a 100 percent

clean, sustainable energy system at union wages for all displaced workers.

— No to white supremacy, police brutality/murder. End racist mass incarceration. Black Lives Matter

— No human being is illegal. No to mass deportations. Yes to DACA and TPS (Temporary Protective Status)

Gaza: The unbreakable will to resist

https://www.workers.org/2018/04/09/gaza-the-unbreakable-will-to-resist/

By Deirdre Griswold posted on April 9, 2018

The people of Gaza, in a show of their unbreakable will to resist Israeli rule and control their own destiny, have begun a series of demonstrations at the heavily fortified border with Israel that are to continue every Friday until mid-May. The result has already been a historically heroic uprising by Palestinians, young and old, women and men, who are joining the demonstrations by the thousands.

It is not only the Israeli government’s murderous repression that has ignited this firestorm of resistance. The Palestinian people know full well that Israel is backed to the hilt by the U.S. imperialist government. Israel has functioned as imperialism’s attack dog against the peoples of the Middle East for decades. Now President Trump’s decision to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem is meant to destroy the possibility — known as the “two-state solution” — of the Palestinians being able to establish a state on any part of the lands stolen from them in 1948.

But repression breeds resistance. The people of Gaza are setting an example of fighting back that resonates with so many who are suffering under the current “world order” — a regime dictated by the tiny class of superbillionaires who have sucked the wealth out of oppressed nations and peoples all over the globe.

The Palestinians have put their bodies on the line, even at the very real risk of being shot down by Israeli soldiers…

…On May 15, Palestinians will commemorate the Nakba. On May 16, the U.S. government will move its embassy to Jerusalem. There will undoubtedly be massive demonstrations by Palestinians on these days, not just in Gaza but all over the world. Everyone who is for the rights of the oppressed should be there.

Milwaukee Educators, Students & Community Supporters Rally Citywide and Pack School Board Meeting to Demand: No Budget Cuts, Stop The Austerity NOW!

https://www.facebook.com/MTEAunion/

MPS students and educators understand that additional budget cuts mean larger class sizes, less art, music, and physical education classes and teachers. It means fewer nurses, school counselors, social workers, educational support professionals, and classroom teachers. We’re saying NO to more cuts. Our students deserve better!
