SUMMARY:Cuba after Castro
DESCRIPTION:Cuba in the Valley Film Series \nNBC and Kristen Welker made popular headlines with their interview of Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canal Bermudez and cynical questions such as “will you step down”\, also claiming their interview was “first” and “exclusive”. \nBut just days before Welker and NBC came  Abby Martin\, Matt Belen and Breakthrough News with an interview with Pres Diaz-Canal revealing who he actually is and represents and what actually is going on in Cuba. \nThe film chronicles Diaz-Canel’s formation as the first and to some an unexpected successor to the Castros — an unassuming organizer molded by the revolutionary process\, the first leader born after the Cuban Revolution. Confronting a perfect storm of intensified U.S. sanctions\, a media war\, a devastating pandemic\, and historic domestic protests. Díaz-Canel reflects on navigating these existential crises for the nation he has come to lead.  \nThrough his eyes and words we see a vision of revolutionary Cuba that you don’t get in the US press: a nation of collective values and defiance in the face of constant threats from the United States.  \nSponsored by Easthampton Public Library\, cosponsored by MAPA

SUMMARY:Organizing meeting to protest at Harvard Commencement
DESCRIPTION:A call for a solemn mass protest at the 2026 Harvard Commencement on May 28. \nIt is time to make both the genocide and raging ethnic cleansing of Palestine and our support for Palestinian self-determination visible once again. It’s time to pressure our educational\, medical\, cultural\, corporate and elected leaders who are collaborating with the genocide to end that support. \nThe biggest single event over the upcoming period that gives us the best chance to call much needed attention to this crisis is the Harvard Commencement on May 28. Harvard stands at the center of our universities’ strategy to help Israel and undermine opposition to Israeli criminal violence and dispossession of Palestinians. The commencement gives us the opportunity to reach the thousands and thousands of people coming to Harvard Square that day from all over the country and all over the world with our message and our demands. \nThis is a proposal for our third annual solemn vigil surrounding the outside walls of Harvard with our bodies\, signs and banners. Many of you participated in our commencement actions at the 2024 and 2025 commencements when 200 of us surrounded Harvard Yard with our solemn vigil in the morning as thousands started to pour through the gates. Our action received much support from those attending the festivities to whom we presented a powerful witness and provided important information about Harvard and the genocide. The press was swarming around the commencement and a number of us were interviewed and pictures were taken. We were part of the story those big commencement days in Cambridge. \nThere is a lot going on right now\, but not enough concerning Palestine. This is our opportunity to make a big deal out of what is happening in Gaza and the West Bank. \nWould you or your organization be willing to participate in the organizing committee for this Commencement action? The first organizing meeting will be held next Wednesday\, April 29 at 5:30pm at the Mass. Peace Action office in the St. James building complex at 1991 Massachusetts Ave\, north of Porter Square. Please sign up here or just show up next Wednesday. If you cannot attend\, but are interested in helping to organize this event\, please contact the Public Education and Action Team of Mass. Peace Action’s Gaza Committee at 617-623-5288 (landline\, no texts). Based on the response we will make a decision whether to proceed with putting together this year’s commencement protest. \nSign up if you can attend the organizing meeting or if you can help out to organize this effort. \nSee these directions to our office.

SUMMARY:Earth's Greatest Enemy - A Film by Abby Martin
DESCRIPTION:Join your neighbors for this timely screening of “Earth’s Greatest Enemy” a new documentary film by Abby Martin\, that exposes the world’s biggest—and most unaccountable—polluter: the US military. https://earthsgreatestenemy.com/ \nExempt from international climate agreements and rarely scrutinized in mainstream reporting\, the Pentagon is the world’s single largest institutional polluter—spewing carbon\, contaminating water\, and scarring landscapes across the globe. Combining investigative journalism\, striking visuals\, and stories from impacted communities\, this film challenges audiences to rethink the hidden costs of a global military empire and its planetary consequences. Provocative\, urgent\, and eye-opening\, this is a documentary that will change how you see both the military and environmentalism. \n“Earth’s Greatest Enemy” reveals a hidden truth behind the climate crisis: the role of the U.S. military as the world’s largest institutional polluter\, tracing the link between war\, empire\, and ecological destruction. Drawing on powerful testimonies from veterans\, scientists\, and frontline communities\, it uncovers how military operations poison ecosystems\, accelerate global warming\, and sacrifice the future for endless expansion. From Alaska’s melting glaciers to contaminated bases across the U.S. and toxic battlefields abroad\, “Earth’s Greatest Enemy” delivers a provocative and unflinching examination of the untouchable institution playing an outsized role in the climate crisis. \n \nFree admission; donations are welcome!   Sign up today! \nVenue\nCalvary Church – Fellowship Hall*\n300 Massachusetts Ave\nArlington\, United States \nVenue is accessible \n*Fellowship Hall Entrance – side doors on Linwood Street up a set of exterior steps to red doors\n[alt. separate ground level entrance with elevator access to Hall on second floor] \nDoors open: 6:30 PM\nFilm starts: 7:00 PM\nRun time: 2 hrs\nPost Film Discussion until 9:30 PM\nLight refreshments provided \nSpecial thanks to Mass Peace Action’s Peace\, Justice and Climate working group and XR Boston for cosponsoring this film.\nThis event is being shown in conjunction with the Town of Arlington’s Ecofest.

SUMMARY:CCB Concert Live & In Person : Ben Grosscup
DESCRIPTION:Ben Grosscup is an American singer songwriter and activist. \n\n\n\n\n“I sing about the ideas and values of the revolutionary social movements I’m part of. Drawing upon activist folk singing traditions\, I brings new songs to the rallies\, strikes\, picket lines where they’re most relevant. I lead purposeful group singing that raises political consciousness.” — Ben Grosscup \n\n\n\n\nBEN GROSSCUP has spent decades using music as a tool for change. A labor troubadour and song leader\, he brings music to picket lines\, rallies\, and union meetings to build solidarity and sustain morale during struggle. Drawing on activist folk traditions\, his songs connect workers’ fights for justice\, collective action\, and power on the job with the threat of imperial violence across the entire world. \nHe is regularly found on picket lines—including the historic 2026 NYC nurses strike—as well as at anti-war rallies\, actions to abolish ICE\, and other spaces where working people are fighting for a better future. His repertoire ranges from original songs to covers of politically inspired songwriters. \nBen’s work is rooted in the revolutionary social movements he’s part of: anti-imperialism\, Palestine solidarity\, labor\, immigrant rights\, and ecology. He lives in Western Massachusetts. https://linktr.ee/BenGrosscup \nPhoto: Julian Parker Burns \nThe concert is co sponsored by The Community Church of Boston and Massachusetts Peace Action \nThis concert is FREE and hosted by The Community Church of Boston.

SUMMARY:From Ground Zero
DESCRIPTION:We present From Ground Zero\, a powerful collection of short films by 22 Palestinian filmmakers living through war and genocide in Gaza. \nThe stories in Palestine’s Official Submission for the 2025 Academy Awards\, From Ground Zero\, capture the unyielding steadfastness of the human spirit and enduring creativity that thrives even in the face of relentless devastation through a unique blend of animation\, documentary\, and fiction. \nFrom Ground Zero was created by filmmaker Rashid Masharawi and designed to give a voice to the people of Gaza and to document their day-to-day experiences\, many of which often go unheard by the outside world. In a war-torn society\, where artistic creation is extremely complex\, the project sought to capture the diversity of perspectives of Gazans through slice-of-life short films\, ranging anywhere from three to six minutes in length. Filmmakers were allowed to tell their story through any genre and cinematic storytelling platform\, from fiction to documentary to animation. \nAfter the film we will hear from Zohaib Qureshi\, a doctor in physical therapy. Dr. Qureshi works  in Neuro-Oncology Amputee Rehab in Dallas\, Texas.  He volunteered in Gaza  and came back in March 2026. \nThe film will be shown in the Parish Hall of St. James Episcopal Church\, three blocks north of Porter Square in Cambridge.  The location can be confusing.  If you have not been to the venue before\, please review these directions and arrive a few minutes early to make sure you find us!

SUMMARY:Emergency Protests: Stop the US-Israeli War on Iran
DESCRIPTION:Rally to demand a complete end to the US-Israel Wars on Iran and Lebanon \nWednesday\, April 8 \nBoston\, 6pm – Park Street Station \nLowell\, 6pm – City Hall \nWorcester\, 6pm – City Hall \nHolyoke\, 6:30 pm – Veterans Memorial Park \nEasthampton\, 5pm – Nashwannuck Pond \nOn Tuesday morning\, President Trump threatened to commit mass war crimes in Iran: “A whole civilization will die tonight\, never to be brought back again\,” if the Iranian government did not meet his demands by 8 PM. \n90 minutes before the deadline\, the President announced that an agreement had been reached for a two-week ceasefire. The exact details of the deal are unclear. What is clear is that the President of the United States is conducting foreign policy by threatening genocide. \nIn the last 5 weeks\, the governments of Israel and the United States have killed over 1\,600 civilians\, including 244 children\, in Iran. Simultaneously\, Israel has killed over 1500 Lebanese people\, including 130 children\, with US weapons\, and ethnically cleansed South Lebanon. They have deceptively used the cover of diplomacy to assassinate Iranian negotiators and leaders. They have endangered the entire region and wasted billions of dollars. They have created an unnecessary shock on the world economy that is threatening the wellbeing of billions. \nA ceasefire agreement is welcome\, but it is not enough. President Trump has revealed that he is dangerously unfit for office. Tomorrow\, we will join with activists across the world to call for an immediate and complete end to the illegal wars on Iran and Lebanon. \nBoston rally sponsored by MAPA\, About Face\, Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine\, Answer Coalition\, Boston Democratic Socialists of America\, CD8 for Palestine\, If Not Now\, Jewish Voice for Peace Boston\, Mass. 50501\, Military Families Speak Out\, National Iranian American Council\, Palestinian Youth Movement\, SEIU Local 509\, Standing Up for Racial Justice\, Party for Socialism and Liberation\, Veterans for Peace.

SUMMARY:Antiwar Open House
DESCRIPTION:Almost 1\,000 people signed petitions\, carried signs\, and reached out at NO KINGS III last Saturday\, March 28\, to express resistance to Trump’s wars on Iran and various other countries. The signed petitions will be sent to our elected officials in Congress to let them know we expect them to stand up to the KING and cut off all funding for his disastrous wars. Opposition to these wars carried out by a cruel King  is building and media coverage of the massive NO KINGS demonstrations around the country make it clear that rage among young people against the U.S.-Israeli illegal war of aggression against Iran was a top reason for many young people joining. \nWe are Massachusetts Peace Action (MAPA). Every day we work to stop this KING’s wars and end his cruelty toward our immigrant neighbors as we try to build a country on the bedrock of community. Do you think you would like to get more involved in preventing Trump from sending ICE into our cities and ground troops into Iran? Or stopping his $200 billion request for additional funding for his war against Iran war\, funding that is  taken from our own communities? Or creating a solid wall of opposition to his collaboration with the continuing genocide in Gaza? Or ending his illegal oil blockade of Cuba that is wreaking such suffering on its people? Or standing against his continuing extra-judicial murders of civilians in boats in the Caribbean\, his abduction of Venezuela’s President\, and his insistence that he will run Venezuela and take its oil? \nThe meeting will be held in the Lounge of St. James Episcopal Church\, three blocks north of Porter Square in Cambridge. The location can be confusing. If you have not been to the venue before\, please review these directions and arrive a few minutes early to make sure you find us!  (The directions page are for the Parish Hall which is right across the hall from the Lounge.) \n

SUMMARY:Will the Real Terrorist Please Stand Up
DESCRIPTION:Boats of armed Cuban Americans trying to land in Cuba like a little Bay of Piglets.  Trump cutting off all oil and threatening military action “I can do anything I want with the Island”.  Threatening countries in the Caribbean with who knows what if they use Cuba’s medical services.  And calling Cuba a terrorist and hostile country. Who’s the terrorist?\n\nThe inimitable Saul Landau with his partner Danny Glover\, take on the question in this 1 hour film:  Will the Real Terrorist Stand Up.  Then we will have a discussion — including a report back on the Nuestra America Convoy that just went to Cuba from 36 countries with some 500 people\, including 150 people from the US\, and several tons of medical aid delivered to hospitals and clinics.  Hope you can come.  And please take this action to tell Congress to pass this resolution forbidding Trump to take military action without consulting Congress.

SUMMARY:No Kings\, No War\, No ICE!
DESCRIPTION:We the People are We the Powerful.\nWe will not stand for another illegal foreign war or for an authoritarian takeover of the United States.\n \nTrump was defeated in Minneapolis and is losing in the courts\, and wants to escape focus on the Epstein files. \nNow\, in his biggest attack on democracy yet\, Trump\, working closely with Netanyahu\, has launched a massive unprovoked war of aggression against Iran. This war is a major violation of the U.S. constitution\, the UN charter and international law.  Its destructive impact is being felt across Middle East and the world. All this on top of Trump’s continued genocide in Palestine and phony “board of peace”\, gratuitous murder of scores of people in small boats\, seizure of oil tankers on the high seas\, criminal kidnapping of the president of Venezuela and illegal oil blockade to overthrow the government of Cuba. \nThe framers of the Constitution put the power to declare war in the hands of Congress for a reason.  We don’t want another war in the Middle East.  We need to end this illegal war and bring the troops home.  On March 28\, we will speak out\, expose President Trump’s lies\, and demand Congress defund this war.   \nThis war is costing a billion dollars a day – draining resources needed to sustain the well being of our neighbors and driving up the cost of everything.   But Trump is proposing a $1.5 trillion Pentagon budget while attacking healthcare\, housing\, education\, and the climate. \nJoin us on the Boston Common and in cities and towns across Massachusetts to say: No Kings\, No War\, No ICE! \nIn Boston\, sign up with MAPA to amplify the antiwar message.  Meet at the MAPA table near the Embrace statue starting at 12pm to distribute our antiwar literature\, petitions and postcards.  Bring your antiwar\, anti-ICE\, anti-authoritarian signs and messages.  We’ll provide signs and literature! \nThe Embrace statue is near Tremont St.\, about half way between Park St. and Boylston St.  The MAPA table will be right next to the statue\, on the other side of it from Tremont St.  We will load in materials from Tremont St. \nTable Setup Starts: 12 pm \nPathways to Power (visibility walk throughout the city with signs and banners): 1-2pm \nRally: 2-4pm \nAction Tables Open: 1-5pm \nIn cities across Massachusetts\, sign up with MAPA to bring the antiwar message to your local No Kings protest.  Help organize the protest in your town\, work with local protest organizers\, and ensure that an antiwar message and speaker is foregrounded.  Bring antiwar signs\, banners and petitions to ensure that the No War\, No ICE message is prominent.  Print our literature or contact us to receive materials by postal. \nAdditionally\, everyone\, sign up for the overall No Kings III Boston mobilization or for the event in your own town. \n \nMAPA materials to be distributed at No Kings III\nPrint and use in your town\, or contact the office to get copies \nThe Peace Advocate newsletter – March 2026 \nStop the Wars – Bring our Troops Home general antiwar petition \nStop the War on Iran half page flyer \nStop Trump’s War of Aggression Iran war pamphlet \nStop Trump’s War of Aggression Iran war petition \nTime to End the Trump-Netanyahu Alliance Iran war petition \nStop the Continuing Genocide in Gaza petition \nStop Trump’s Threats against Cuba pamphlet \nStop the Illegal War on Venezuela pamphlet \nStop the Illegal War on Iran 18 x 24 coroplast yard sign \nStop the Illegal War on Iran 11 x 17 printable poster

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.

But the people of this country reject another endless war and will take to the streets now and make our voices heard. \nIran has not attacked the United States. The government has been engaged in diplomatic negotiations up to the very last moment\, and has again and again insisted that it has no intention of developing a nuclear weapons program (which Trump claims to have “obliterated” last year anyway). Trump promised to bring peace to the world while he was running for office\, but he has done nothing but left a trail of devastation the world over. Rather than making executives at oil companies and weapons manufacturers richer\, our tax dollars should be used to meet people’s needs. \nBoston Rally Sponsors: National Iranian American Council\, Jewish Voice for Peace Boston\, Party for Socialism and Liberation\, Palestinian Youth Movement\, MAPA\, Our Revolution Massachusetts\, About Face\, Boston Democratic Socialists of America\, Veterans for Peace\, Jamaica Plain Progressives\, Military Families Speak Out\, ANSWER Coalition\, Mass 50501

SUMMARY:Stop Trump’s Oil Blockade of Cuba
DESCRIPTION:Rally on Saturday\, February 14\nOutside Park Street Station\, Boston\n12 Noon to 1:15pm\nThis rally takes place during the worst crisis Cuba has ever faced as Trump is making sure no oil can reach Cuba. On January 29 he signed an executive order declaring a national emergency because of the alleged imminent threat that Cuba poses to our national security!! (The president seems to get a kick out of making up the most outrageous stories possible). In response to this “threat” he is placing significant tariffs on all goods from any country who dares to sell Cuba oil. \nOnce implemented this oil blockade means Cuba would be out of fuel by the end of this month. We will also raise our voices against even more draconian attacks on Cuba that could be coming soon. \nNow that Venezuelan oil is no longer available to Cuba\, we must support the efforts of Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum to find a way to sell some of its oil to the island nation. Cuba. As she says\, “The problem we have now is that the United States said it will impose tariffs on any country that sells to Cuba” \nGiven the energy shortages that already exist in Cuba and the hardship primarily caused by 6 decades of embargo\, such an oil blockade guarantees starvation and widespread loss of life in Cuba. Electricity\, hospitals\, agricultural machinery and transportation will no longer be able to function. The president’s strategy is clear: to provoke a level of misery so profound that it leads to civil unrest and the toppling of the Cuban Government. \nBut this blockade of Cuban oil does not take place in a vacuum. By now it is clear that president Trump will do whatever he wants to get his way. He will destroy people\, universities\, cultural institutions and countries to further his ambitions for power and personal wealth. He wages war abroad and war against our rights at home with the same playbook of division\, extortion\, deprivation\, and fear. The people of Minneapolis and the people of Cuba may have more in common than they know – united as they are by a common enemy and a common vision of human solidarity. \nCuba may be Trump’s enemy. But it is not ours. Join us at noon on Valentines Day outside Park Street Station in downtown Boston to let the world know this basic reality. \nSponsored by the statewide “No War on Venezuela Network” and Massachusetts Peace Action \nFor Information call 617-354-2169

SUMMARY:Power Hour: Support the Israel Divestment Bill
DESCRIPTION:Join MAPA’s Power Hour on Jan. 29 at 6pm to make calls in support of the Israel Divestment Bill. \nDespite the supposed “ceasefire” in Gaza\, Israel has continued its genocide of Palestinians through airstrikes\, gunfire\, blocking aid\, and destroying homes. The Israel Divestment Bill is as relevant now as it was before the ceasefire was announced. \nThis bill is currently in the Public Service Committee in the MA House. We will be making calls to the two chairs of the committee to pressure them to vote the bill out favorably. If it does go forward\, it can then eventually be voted on by the full state legislature.  Read more about the bill. \nTake this step to make the State of Massachusetts divest from genocide.
