SUMMARY:The Real Origins of the Ukraine War and Why It Matters Today
DESCRIPTION:Swiss Col. Jacques Baud (retired) is a military and international affairs analyst who will speak about his first-hand knowledge of the Donbass area of Ukraine. From 2012-2017\, he was seconded to NATO by the Swiss government to head NATO Counterproliferation of Small Arms and Light Weapons Unit (SALW) in Brussels\, as well as of programs against landmines. In that capacity\, he monitored the SALW situation in the Donbass from 2014 to 2017 and designed de-mining projects in Ukraine.\nAdditionally\, as a UN expert in the Rule of Law and Reform of Security Institutions\, he contributed to projects related to the reform of the Ukrainian army at the end of 2014.\nHe has been outspoken in his views that the Ukrainian government\, aided by the U.S. and EU\, did not abide by the Minsk treaty\, but instead conducted lethal military shelling of Donbass cities\, called an anti-terrorism campaign\, aimed at an armed insurgency of ethnic Russian Ukrainians whose religious\, cultural\, linguistic\, economic\, and political rights were being increasingly restricted by the central government in Kiev.\nBaud has recently been severely sanctioned by the EU for his views. He will share his perspective not only on the origins of the civil war in Ukraine\, but on the current military and political situation and the prospects for a negotiated settlement of the war. \nSwiss Col. Jacques Baud (retired) holds a Master’s in Econometrics and Postgrade Diplomas in International Security and International Relations from the Graduate Institute for International Relations in Geneva.  He worked several years in the Swiss Strategic Intelligence Service. He was trained in US and British intelligence. \nHis extensive expertise in strategic analysis\, conflict mediation and international security spans decades. At the United Nations headquarters in New York\, he was the Head of Policy and Doctrine in the UN Department of Peacekeeping Operations (2009-11) where his team worked on the protection of civilians in war. He is member of the UN Expert Group on the Rule of Law and Security Sector Reform. He authored several books on weapons\, intelligence\, asymmetric warfare and terrorism. He is currently retired and lives in Brussels (Belgium). \nBaud is the author of many books including Covert Wars in Ukraine (2025)\, The Russian Art of War: How the West Led Ukraine to Defeat (2024)\, Operation Z: The Hidden Truth of the Ukraine War (2022)\, and Putin: Master of the Game (2019). \nRegister to attend: \n \nSponsored by MAPA’s Ukraine: A Time for Peace Campaign.

SUMMARY:US Sanctions: A Brutal But Failed Weapon of War (WIRN Webinar)
DESCRIPTION:The largest number of sanctioned countries are in Africa\, deliberately disrupting development. Throughout West Asia strangling U.S. economic sanctions in Palestine\, Lebanon\, Syria\, Iraq\, Iran\, and Yemen go hand and hand with U.S. / Israeli bombing. \nBut US sanctions\, along with Trump’s tariffs and wars\, have failed to reverse the decline of the US Empire. They are accelerating a unified global resistance and movement towards multipolarity\, as can be seen in the growing influence of BRICS and regional trade alliances. The failure of sanctions inevitably pushes the US into military and covert actions attempting to overthrow governments that will not capitulate or compromise their sovereignty. \nThis webinar will discuss the deadly effects of US sanctions as a weapon of war and explain how nations are building new forms of resistance and survival. \nSpeaker : Sara Flounders is a political writer\, activist and anti-war organizer since the 1960s. She helps coordinate the International Action Center (IAC)\, United National Antiwar Coalition(UNAC) and the SanctionsKill Campaign. She is a Contributing Editor of Workers World – Workers.org a daily on-line Marxist news source. Flounders has co-authored and edited ten books on such subjects as the duplicity of military recruiters\, the injustice of U.S. wars and sanctions and the immorality of America’s use of weaponry containing depleted uranium. \nFlounders has traveled to and organized delegations to a number of sanctioned countries\, including Iraq\, Iran\, Lebanon\, Syria\, Sudan\, Yugoslavia\, Cuba\, Venezuela\, Nicaragua and China\, for the express purpose of building solidarity with targeted countries and defending the right of oppressed and targeted people to all forms of resistance.Her work focuses on organizing demonstrations\, direct actions\, picket lines\, community forums\, speak-outs\, war-crimes tribunals. She consistently links U.S. wars and sanctions for corporate profit to the growing repression and racism at home.“My goal is to build confidence in the potential of powerful grassroots movements for change within the U.S.”The US Empire is now sanctioning 40 countries\, most visibly Russia\, Iran\, Venezuela\, and Cuba. These sanctions\, a violation of international law\, are explicitly aimed destabilizing and overturning countries that defy US hegemony. Sanctions are a devastating weapon of choice\, deliberately causing widespread starvation\, disease\, and poverty in the targeted countries. In every case\, the poorest and the weakest – infants\, children\, the chronically ill and the elderly – suffer the worst impact of sanctions.

SUMMARY:Justice 4 All Thursdays
DESCRIPTION:Via Turn Purple 2 Blue:\n\nGreater Assabet Indivisible Network (GAIN) invites you to stand in solidarity with immigrants and resistance to ICE and their cruel and lawless detention of our neighbors Thursdays from 11am-1pm. Regardless of any other political views\, you are welcome to join us and demand Justice 4 All so long as you do so non-violently. \nOur friends at Bearing Witness have been hosting gatherings at this location for many weeks. We are an unaffiliated group\, but very much aligned with their values and mission. Our goal is to add to the total number of hours that citizens stand in non-violent opposition to the deplorable detainment conditions at this location. If you have been to Bearing Witness on Wednesdays\, we would love to have you at Justice 4 All Thursdays. \nSchedule (Starting Thursday\, September 4 – more dates to follow) \n11:00-11:30 Welcome; music; announcements\n11:30-12:30 Stand with signs along District Ave\n12:30-1:00 Optional short march down to Mall Rd. \nWhat happens at this ICE office? \nICE personnel depart from District Ave. in unmarked vans with tinted windows on missions to abduct immigrants across New England. Immigrants may also show up at the office for appointments. The facility on District Ave was never intended to be a detention center\, yet immigration lawyers and media interviews reveal that people are now being housed here in conditions that have been called “abysmal” and “unsanitary.” \nWhat to expect at Justice 4 All? \nWe are committed to nonviolence\, and we stand peacefully with signs outside the facility. We do not block the entrance\, we do not physically approach ICE agents as they walk to/from the parking lot\, and we do not block traffic on District Ave. \nSigns \nThis is a very targeted action outside the ICE facility\, so it’s not the venue for protesting other causes. Even though we care deeply about other issues\, while outside ICE we must remain focused on immigration.  \nParking and other tips \nFor parking\, please use the Macy’s overflow lot (75 Burlington Mall Road\, follow signs for Macy’s\, see map). For those with mobility challenges\, please keep in mind that the lots closest to ICE — the FAA lot beside ICE and the BAE Systems lot directly across the street from ICE — have both been blocked off. There are restaurants nearby (Clover\, Pressed Cafe\, Chipotle) to get food and use the bathroom. Before arriving\, please consider your own self-preservation (citizenship status) and self-care (sunscreen\, hydration\, etc.)

SUMMARY:End Trump's Oil blockade of Cuba
DESCRIPTION:A call for help tabling and petition gathering for Cuba this Saturday at noon at Park street station \nThis Saturday the international flotilla in solidarity with Cuba arrives for a big solidarity action in Havana. (They are delivering a significant amount of aid as well) Some of us are hoping to have an event in Boston in solidarity with those events in Cuba. Would you be available for a tabling/standout/leafleting event at Boston Common at noon. We hope to have at least a handful of people collecting signatures on our petition calling for an end to Trump’s oil blockade which has cast the island into darkness some or all of the time and is causing great harm to Cuba’s people. \nOf course there is so much going on. but some of us thought that a Cuba solidarity action at this time when Trump is determined to overthrow Cuba’s government is very much in order and when a big solidarity action is taking place in Cuba itself. Please join us on Saturday at noon. If you have any questions call Paul Shannon at 617-623-5288 and leave a message.
