November 30, 2025 Joseph Mogul, NationofChange. , , , , ,
After more than two years of Israel’s genocide in Gaza, popular outrage has mounted against the weapons manufacturers enabling the slaughter. The antiwar movement in the United States has begun targeting local nodes of the weapons supply chain in cities from Oakland to Brooklyn and Boston. These campaigns have deployed a breadth of strategies: pressuring local municipalities to divest, physically disrupting the supply chain through direct action, encouraging airports to adopt arms embargo policies and demanding public and private industrial landlords evict weapons companies.

Tucson, AZ – On November 22, The Tucson Anti War Committee (TAWC) and a host of organizations wanted to let the thousands of bicyclists in the annual El Tour de Tucson know that, as they passed the Air Force base, people with a conscience demand “Hands off Venezuela!” “With a race of nearly 10,000 and 40% registered from out of state, we saw this as a great opportunity to let as many people know this beautiful landscape is also the HQ for Trump’s war crimes in the Caribbean. People need to know that we can stand up to Trump and stand with Venezuela,” said TAWC organizer Maria Sohn Hasman, addressing the race onlookers.

Chicago, IL – On November 11, hundreds of people gathered at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, demanding an immediate end to the militarization and federal attacks on our communities, divestment from state-funded violence such as genocide and war, and rights for all workers. “I wanna ask you veterans, I wanna ask you workers, for your solidarity as we demonstrate, as we organize, and we clarify the principles of this country, that it is freedom, it is democracy, it is solidarity that moves us, not disunity, not exclusion, and certainly not ICE,” said Stacey Davis Gates

Reclaim Armistice Day 2025

November 7, 2025 Veterans For Peace. , , , ,
On November 11, 1918, the guns finally fell silent. The “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month” marked a global sigh of relief and a promise: War No More. Armistice Day was meant to remind future generations of the cost of empire and the necessity of peace. In the United States, that meaning was later erased. In 1954 Congress renamed it Veterans Day, shifting the focus from ending war to glorifying it. A day of peace became a billboard for endless wars and the corporations that profit from them. That erasure serves the same interests that erase truth everywhere—from Palestine to our own communities. The beneficiaries are easy to find. The same weapons manufacturers and security firms arming Israel’s genocide of Palestinians build the surveillance tech used by ICE and police to terrorize immigrants and poor communities here at home.

No To A US War On Venezuela!

October 25, 2025 Tim Young, Stop the War. , , , ,
For the past few weeks the Trump administration has intensified its long-standing aggression against Venezuela by deploying warships (including a nuclear submarine) in the Caribbean Sea in a purported anti-narcotics operation. US forces have carried out at least five incidents of strikes on boats in Venezuelan waters to date, killing 37 people. Trump’s latest move has been to authorise the CIA to conduct covert operations inside Venezuela. President Nicolas Maduro, as Venezuela’s current leader, has been a focus of this ‘war on drugs’ narrative, justifying the US’s illegal actions by demonising him as a ‘narco-terrorist’ engaged in drug trafficking, despite UN evidence to the contrary. The US also portrays him as being an illegitimate leader, offering a bounty of $50 million for his capture.

Minneapolis Says US Hands Off Venezuela

Minneapolis, MN – On Saturday, October 4, the MN Anti-War Committee held a protest at Mayday Plaza in response to the recent attacks and escalated targeting of Venezuela by the Trump administration. Trump’s administration has intensified U.S. attacks on Venezuela. Starting in late August and early September, the U.S. has deployed warships and troops to the coast of Venezuela. They struck four Venezuelan fishing boats; three of those four strikes resulted in the killing of upwards as 18 people with one ship being illegally boarded. The U.S. carried out these attacks based on the false claims that President Maduro has cartel ties and Venezuela is trafficking drugs.

Seattle, WA – On October 2, Seattleites took to the streets in solidarity with the Global Sumud Flotilla, protesting the humanitarian aid fleet’s illegal interception by Israel the previous day. Nearly 100 activists packed into over 40 cars to form a motor caravan and cruised through some of the busiest streets in downtown Seattle during rush hour, disrupting traffic and unloading afterwards at a rally. The action was timed to coincide with other national and global efforts, like that of the Italian Unione Sindicale di Base (UDB), which enacted a general strike across Italy. The caravan, as well as the rally attended by nearly 600 people, ensured that Seattleites could not ignore the events surrounding the Global Sumud Flotilla despite the U.S.’s repressive media doing its best to keep Americans in the dark.

In a union hall overlooking the sea and stacks of shipping containers in the Port of Genoa, delegations of dockworkers from both sides of the Mediterranean gathered — answering the call of their colleagues in Genoa — for an international assembly. The objective: to organize against the genocide in Palestine and Israel’s rearmament, building on the day of strikes and mobilizations that shook Italy on September 22. It was with emotion that Giovanni Ceravolo, a leader in the Unione Sindacale di Base (USB) for the port of Livorno, concluded this international meeting: We will be able to call for a first day of Europe-wide mobilization against weapons, against genocide, against rearmament. All this embodies our future tasks. The assemblies that brought us together these two days are the first step.

Orlando, FL – On Friday, September 13, 20 activists held an emergency rally outside the Federal Courthouse in downtown Orlando to denounce the recent U.S. military attacks, and any future aggression, against Venezuela. The rally was organized by FRSO Orlando and co-sponsored by Orlando DSA, University of Central Florida Students for a Democratic Society, Orlando for Peace, and several other organizations. The event was in response to Donald Trump’s dangerous military escalations against Venezuela, including the deployment of U.S. warships into the Caribbean and a recent military strike against a Venezuelan boat that killed all eleven Venezuelan civilians on board. Trump’s government has also put a $50 million reward for the capture of the democratically-elected president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro.

Anti-War Action Network Webinar: ‘Resisting Political Repression’

August 27, 2025 Jeremiah Baxter, Fight Back! News. , , ,
Minneapolis, MN – On August 21, the Anti-War Action Network (AWAN) held a nationwide webinar on the topic of combatting political repression targeted against the anti-war movement. Meredith Aby, a member of AWAN’s steering committee, introduced the webinar stating, “The Trump administration, by targeting our movement, is trying to create a chilling effect in this country, trying to increase their own power, and trying to punish anyone who challenges the Trump administration.” Aby went on to point out that “Our activists have been targeted for marching in the street, for car marshaling, for being at public meetings and chanting. What we need to do is defend this right to dissent. Dissent is not a crime!”

Remembering The Resistance That Helped Stop A Genocidal War

July 27, 2025 Peter G. Prontzos, Canadian Dimension. , , , , ,
When the United States was carrying out its genocidal campaign against Vietnam in the 1960s and 70s, Canada welcomed tens of thousands of American war resisters to this country. Their actions, along with peace movements in the US and around the world, not only helped to end the war, but they may have even forced President Richard Nixon to abandon a plan to escalate the conflict with the use of tactical nuclear weapons. In light of the serious challenges we face today—including the wars in Gaza and Ukraine, rising poverty and inequality, and the deepening environmental crisis—it is more important than ever to remember, and draw inspiration from, the millions of Americans who resisted the US war in Vietnam, as well as in Cambodia and Laos. Just as importantly, we must remember the meaningful victories won by these peace movements.

Belgian Court Bans Military Shipments To Israel In Activist Victory

In what could become a landmark ruling, a Belgian judge recently ordered the Flemish government to halt the transit of goods that could be used to continue or expand the genocide in Gaza. The decision follows a joint campaign by four organizations – Intal, Vredesactie (Peace Action), 11.11.11, and the Human Rights League – which was triggered by the discovery of containers in the port of Antwerp addressed to Israeli company Ashot Ashkelon Industries. The containers included materials used for the assembly of Merkava tanks, the same model implicated in the attack that killed six-year-old Hind Rajab.

Foreign Military Bases And Resistance To Them Are Spreading

July 14, 2025 David Swanson, World Beyond War. , , ,
A new report by World BEYOND War finds that military bases used by foreign militaries are growing in number, as are public protests and advocacy against those bases. Of 1,247 foreign military bases in the world, 877 of them, by latest count, are U.S. bases outside of the United States. Eighteen other nations, combined, have 370 bases outside their borders. While U.S. bases are in 95 foreign countries all over the globe and virtually encircling the borders of Russia and China, the nation with the second-most foreign bases, Türkiye, has them all near Türkiye, with the exception of one base in Somalia, and the majority of them in Syria and Iraq where Türkiye has been waging wars.
