SUMMARY:No War with Iran - Emergency Rally
DESCRIPTION:President Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran is incredibly dangerous\, unnecessary\, and illegal. His unilateral action threatens to embroil the United States in another costly war in the Middle East\, just like George W. Bush did with his attack on Iraq. His unconstitutional action endangers people across the region and American service members dangerously deployed there. Congress must stop these illegal actions immediately.

SUMMARY:Mexico's 4th Transformation: Sweeping the Americas
DESCRIPTION:Mexico is unique in the world with its constitutional judicial reform allowing popular elections for all major branches of government. \nIt’s growth and “Mexico Plan” under “The Fourth Transformation” are aimed at sovereignty and economic power and social well being. The US makes constant attempts to control Mexico’s growth path as goes US Monroe Doctrine history\, and wants to block its growing relationships and leadership in Latin America especially with Cuba and recently with Brics\, which Mexico has joined. \n \nAlong with being the major trading partner of USA\, Claudia Sheinbaum Pardo and her government are trying to retain good policies with both differing economic models. This webinar will explain the Judicial Reform and Mexico’s struggle for total sovereignty\, including a young citizen’s experience\, background and views of present day infrastructure changes; how she and colleagues view the noticeable developments and social changes; how the “Bienestar” (Well Being) program affects her family and neighbors. She will also talk about positive developments in Mexico City. \n \nSpeakers: \nDr. Leni Villagomez Reeves – Former United Farm Workers volunteer who attended UC Berkeley and UCSF. She worked at Valley Childrens Hospital in pediatric emergency medicine. She is active in Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom\, where she co-chairs its national Cuba and the Bolivarian Alliance Committee\, and with the Pastors for Peace Friendship Caravan to Cuba and Saving Lives Campaign. \nRegina Hugues lives in Mexico City experiencing the changes with differing opinions from friends\, family and colleagues.

SUMMARY:No War With Iran
DESCRIPTION:On June 20\, President Trump ordered an illegal and unconstitutional attack on Iran\, for which there is no justification. Join us at the JFK Federal Building (Cambridge Street entrance) this Thursday\, June 26 at 12pm to demand a return to diplomacy\, no further military strikes; a full congressional investigation and public accounting; a complete rejection of this war; and a ceasefire in Gaza. \nOn June 23rd\, 10 days after the start of the unprovoked and illegal US-backed Israeli aggression against Iran\, President Trump announced a ceasefire between Iran and Israel. While we hope that this fragile ceasefire holds\, our recent experience with Israel’s numerous ceasefire violations in Gaza and Lebanon makes us fear that it may not. We continue to push to prevent the U.S. from getting involved in an all-out regional war. Congress must act now and pass the Iran War Powers resolutions filed by Sen. Kaine and Reps. Massie and Khanna to prevent further US military action and to demand accountability for President Trump’s illegal and unconstitutional strikes on Iran\, and cut off U.S. arms shipments to Israel. \nJoin National Iranian American Council\, Arise & Resist Coalition\, Boston Coalition for Palestine\, MAPA\, JVP\, INN\, and many more groups at noon on Thursday at the JFK Federal building (the Cambridge St entrance) to hear from experts like Stephen Kinzer and Joseph Gerson\, faith leaders\, lawmakers\, members of the Iranian-American and Palestinian-American communities\, and other anti war voieces reject Trump’s illegal intervention in this war. \nThis is the third in a series of Boston area rallies to stop war with Iran.  We rallied on June 13 to protest Israel’s attack on Iran the previous night\, and on June 22 to protest the US attack on Iran the previous night.  Sign up to let us know you’ll be there and to be notified of upcoming actions. \nSponsored by: the Massachusetts and Connecticut chapters of the  National Iranian American Council\, the Arise and Resist Coalition\, Boston Coalition for Palestine\, Massachusetts Peace Action\, Jewish Voice for Peace Boston\, Northshore for Palestine\, the Palestinian House of New England\, Boston Democratic Socialists of America\, JP Progressives\, Our Revolution Massachusetts\, Brookline Peace Coalition\, CD8 for Palestine\, Community Encampments for Palestine\, Veterans for Peace Boston\, the Green-Rainbow Party of Boston\, the Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine\, the Green-Rainbow Party of Massachusetts\, IfNotNow Boston\, Arlington for Palestine.
