A broad coalition representing a cross-section of peace and social justice groups met to call for regional actions against the wars at home and abroad on the weekend of April 14 – 15 in cities across the country.
With the recent escalation by the Trump administration of the wars in Afghanistan and Syria and threats to North Korea and Venezuela; huge increases in military spending and the threats of nuclear war; as well as increasing attacks on the rights of workers and communities of color and the dangerous growth of white supremacist forces, the time is now to return to the street to make our voices heard. Join us on April 14-15for united, nationally coordinated, regional mobilizations to challenge the war makers and defend humanity. The future is in our hands.
