Milwaukee, November 11: Armistice Day

Hosted by Iraq Veterans Against the War- Milwaukee

Veterans for Peace Milwaukee Chapter 102
Milwaukee Coalition Against Trump

Armistice Day began as a way to celebrate and promote peace, on Nov. 11, the day World War I ended. Congress responded to a hope among Americans for no more wars by passing a resolution calling for “exercises designed to perpetuate peace through good will and mutual understanding.” Later, Congress added that Nov. 11 was to be “a day dedicated to the cause of world peace.”

In 1954 Congress changed the name to Veterans Day, and in many cases it has become a celebration of militarism, honoring war rather than remembering the victims or veterans who served. Through this annual event, we want to restore the tradition of Armistice Day as a day to promote world peace.

Milwaukee, October 8: Fundraiser for Cuba after Irma

631 N 19th, Milwaukee, The Coffee House, 7-9 P.M. 

Fundraiser for Cuba after Hurricane Irma.
Speakers and Entertainment TBA

Much of Cuba has been devastated by Hurricane Irma, the first Category 5 hurricane to make landfall in Cuba’s history. Thousands of homes, agriculture, electrical plants, the infrastructure, have been seriously damaged. The Cuban people, government, and mass organizations are working hard in the recovery efforts. Even more damaging than natural disaster is the U.S. economic blockade, which has cost the country hundreds of billions of dollars and hampers its development. Cuba is renowned for extending international solidarity to people around the world with medical workers and teachers; even as Hurricane Irma hit Cuba, Cuba was sending 750 medical personnel to other islands in the Caribbean which had been devastated by the hurricane.
Event Update:…..
Entertainers will include guitarist & vocalist Darele Bisquera, and Troubadour Tony Baez performing songs of love and struggle from the Hispanic world, plus New Orleans jazz and a special music performance from Havana!”

It is our turn to come to Cuba’s aid!
Spnonsored by Wisconsin Coalition to Normalize Relations with Cuba.
