November 16 next statewide Maine protest

 

Our statewide antiwar coalition will bring its monthly protest series back to Farmington in November. 

 

Student organizers from UMF will join us and I'm sure we'll get an update on their ongoing efforts to pressure the U Maine system to divest from Israel. 

 

News of atrocities in northern Gaza continue to horrify the world as well as airstrikes in Lebanon, Syria, and Yemen with many innocent victims. 

 

The U.S. response? Tell reporters that Israel has the "right" to target civilians meanwhile sending the THAAD missile "defense" system and U.S. troops to operate it!

Saturday Nov 16 at 1:30pm
Farmington downtown (intersection of Broadway & Main)
Bring your own signs and banners, or use ours. Join us for a late lunch afterwards.

 

Our demands:

  • Peace in Ukraine - No weapons, no money for the Ukraine War

  • Abolish NATO – End U.S. militarism & sanctions!

  • Fund people’s needs, not the war machine!

  • No war with China!

  • Protect Earth's environment from the deadly insult of war!

  • End U.S. aid to racist apartheid Israel!

  • Fight racism & bigotry not war!

  • U.S. hands off Haiti!

  • End AFRICOM

Co-sponsors: 

Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space, Maine Natural Guard, PeaceWorks of Greater Brunswick, Communist Party of Maine, Maine Green Independent Party, Citizens Opposing Active Sonar Threats (COAST), Party for Socialism & Liberation Maine, Libertarian Party of Maine, People’s Party of Maine, Peace & Justice Center of Eastern Maine, Veterans for Peace - National, United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC), and Maine Voices for Palestinian Rights (MVPR).
