SUMMARY:Annual Dinner 2025: Protecting Our Neighbors **SOLD OUT
DESCRIPTION:Join us on November 1st to celebrate a year of steadfast organizing and resistance! With authoritarianism on the rise\, the U.S. terrorizing civilians at home and across the globe\, and the continuation of the genocide in Gaza\, “protecting our neighbors” has never been more important. As we know\, the terror and militarization abroad inflicted by the U.S. will always come home\, and this year we honor those on the front lines fighting Trump’s agenda and protecting the most vulnerable – from Massachusetts to Gaza. \nThis year’s Peacebuilder Award recipients include the union responsible for the release of Rümeysa Öztürk – SEIU 509 and the founders of “Bearing Witness\,” Jared D. Berezin and Laurie Lynn Berezin\, who organize hundreds of Masssachusetts residents outside ICE headquarters in Burlington in ongoing weekly stand-outs. We also will also honor Susan McLucas and Paula Iasella for their longstanding work to free Julian Assange\, a man who worked to reveal the breath of U.S. war crimes. \nWe will present our 2025 Peace Leadership Award to Dr. Karameh Kuemmerle\, a Palestinan-American pediatric neurologist and co-founder of Doctors Against Genocide – an organization dedicated to mobilizing the medical community to respond to and prevent genocide and severe human rights abuses worldwide. She is affiliated with Harvard Medical School with research focusing on improving healthcare outcomes for refugee communities and addressing the impact of social determinents like racism. \nJoin us for and evening filled with great Caribbean food from Eunice’s Cuisine and a live performance of Palestinian and Arabic music by local band\, the Hawa Collective to celebrate another year of resistance!

SUMMARY:Say No to National Guard Troops in our Streets
DESCRIPTION:SAY NO TO NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS IN OUR STREETS \nStand with Veterans as we march\, rally\, and refuse to allow growing fascism to be normalized. Together we say NO this Veterans Day – no to ICE\, no to occupation\, no to fascism\, and no to cuts stripping away life saving services our communities need. \n \nSponsors: Veterans for Peace/ Smedley Butler Brigade\, About Face\, Mayday Strong\, Common Defense\nhttps://www.vetssayno.org/ \nMay Day is proud to stand alongside About Face in this effort – together we will ensure that this country works for all of us\, not the few. \nPlease note: A core principle behind all our events is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values. Weapons of any kind\, including those legally permitted\, should not be brought to events \n\nAbout Face is a movement of post 9/11 service members and veterans who understand that the same institutions and policies that wage wars overseas also have targeted communities of color\, indigenous people\, and poor people inside of the United States. About Face takes action in solidarity with all people impacted by wars abroad and at home to realize a vision of a world free of militarism. \nMay Day Strong is a multi-racial working class movement dedicated to taking our country back from the billionaires and stopping the current authoritarian takeover. We are the many\, they are the few. Together we will win.
