Peace Vigil Holds Memorial Service For Charismatic Activist Early Departed

March 22, 2026 John Zangas, DC Media Group. , , ,
Washington DC—Longtime activists from the DC, Maryland and Virginia area joined hands on Wednesday night to cherish the life of a charismatic activist who kept night watch at the Peace Vigil during a most tumultuous period in its 44 year history. One by one they spoke of how Will Roosien touched their lives and left indelible memories, shared fond moments of joy and hope in their hearts. They told their individual stories, read poems in his honor, and shared their delight in the memories of how he influenced them. Yet they shared a common rumination that he should not have been taken so early from them as his life had barely begun.

17th Annual Black People’s March On The White House

On November 1- 2 the Black is Back Coalition for Social Justice, Peace and Reparations will hold its 17th Annual Black People’s March on the White House in Washington, D.C.  This year’s Black People’s March on the White House comes at a critical time when the world is watching the U.S. descend into a deepening crisis, with the breakdown of its foundational institutions and principles of free speech, religion, assembly and association.  In a September 25, 2025 presentation to hundreds of generals and admirals of the U.S. military, the US president called on the military to make the war “at home,” in the US and to begin initiating war games, deploying national guard troops to the cities where Africans have a heavy presence. This is a clear violation of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which prohibits the use of federal troops in police actions within the U.S.

Peace Vigil Future Unclear As Trump Takes Down And Removes Tent

September 9, 2025 John Zangas, DC Media Group. , , , ,
Washington DC—On Sunday afternoon, the Peace Vigil manager, Philipos Melaku-Bello reclined in the sun under a big red umbrella at the William Thomas Memorial Peace Vigil, reflecting on the whirlwind of events that occurred over the last three days. Just hours earlier, the 44 year old Peace Vigil was raided by U.S. National Park Police which tore down and confiscated the blue tarp tent, its frame, and cinder block anchors. As word spread of the raid, scores of longtime DC activists, residents, and supporters sprang into action. They rolled in throughout the day, like an anonymous army of loyal supernumeraries, to sit with and support Philipos and the other activists who staff the Peace Vigil. Among them were attorneys, activists, friends, supporters, and former Vigil staff members.

Watch: Netanyahu Skewered Outside White House

July 8, 2025 Consortium News. , , ,
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin was inside the White House Monday night meeting with Donald Trump. On the street outside protestors called for Netanyahu’s arrest, for which the International Criminal Court has issued a warrant. “Bibi, Bibi you can’t hide,” the protestors chanted. “You’ve been charged with genocide.” And: “Netanyahu you will see. Palestine will be free.” “We are here because Gaza is still standing,” one speaker said. “As we speak, Netanyahu is meeting with Trump crafting plans, not just for a future of deepened apartheid, but for the wholesale transformation of the Arab world. Economically, politically and culturally. This is not just a meeting. It is an agenda…for normalization. Normalization of genocide.”

Canada’s Sovereignty Was Under Threat Long Before Trump

While the exploitation of Canada’s natural resources and economic control exerted by the U.S. are well known, the subtler ways America maintains its grip, through cultural influence, economic pressure, and the poaching of talent, reveal a deeper, systemic colonization. The United States has systematically prevented Canada from developing industrial independence, ensuring it remains a supplier of raw materials rather than a competitor on the global stage. The economic imbalance has been in place for decades, yet many Canadians falsely believe that Donald Trump was the catalyst for U.S. exploitation.

Peace Vigil Activists Eye Future As White House Readies For Change

November 24, 2024 John Zangas, DC Media Group. , , , ,
Washington DC — It is a sunny hot Saturday afternoon in mid-November at Lafayette Park as a steady line of tourists filter past the little white tent of the Peace Vigil outside the White House. The signs covering the tent reflect views contrary to everything the incoming administration stands for. The activists go about their daily rituals of preparing for a shift change. It’s 4 o’clock. Time seems to stand still. Nearby the sounds of carpenter’s tools, hammers, drills, and saws, echo from the scaffolding while truck warning beepers sound across Pennsylvania Avenue as the temporary inauguration stands are slowly going up.

White House Sabotages Senate Vote To Block Israel Arms Sales

November 20, 2024 News Desk, The Cradle. , , , , , ,
The US government is lobbying Democratic senators to vote against legislation that would halt $20 billion worth of arms sales to Israel, according to US officials who spoke with the Times of Israel on 20 November. “Biden aides have argued that the weapons in question are essential for Israel’s defense and won’t be delivered for another year or two, ‘so the likelihood of them being used in this iteration of the Gaza context is very low,’” the Israeli daily cites the sources as saying, adding that officials from the White House, State Department, and Pentagon have reached out to “various lawmakers on the fence about how they might vote.”

Red Line Protest For Gaza At White House, More Support For Palestine

June 10, 2024 John Zangas, DC Media Group. , , , , , ,
Washington DC—Thousands surrounded the White House Saturday with a ‘people’s red line’ message to the Biden administration to stop funding and supporting Israel’s war on Gaza. At midday, hundreds unfurled and circled the White House with a 2 mile long red banner with names of thousands of Palestinians slain by Israeli military bombing in Gaza. Over 200 groups joined in demanding an immediate cease-fire in Gaza, withdrawal of military forces, and a pathway towards Palestinian Statehood. The Israeli military is now in its 9th month of a sustained military assault and occupation of Gaza which began on October 7, 2023 and has leveled over 80% of its structures, killed nearly 40,000 women and children, and rendered Gaza virtually unlivable.

Tens of thousands of people from across the US gathered near the White House on Saturday to demand an end to US support for Israel's war in Gaza, highlighting US President Joe Biden's stated position of an invasion of Rafah being a red line. In response to Israel's recent invasion of Rafah, what many see as Biden not holding firm on his word, the demonstrators made a two-mile-long human "red line" around the White House, wearing red shirts and holding a red banner that they slowly unfurled from the White House gate, down Constitution Avenue and back around to the front entrance.

Tens Of Thousands To Surround White House On June 8

June 1, 2024 People's Dispatch. , , , , , , , , ,
Tens of thousands of people will are mobilizing to surround the White House on June 8 in protest of Biden’s complicity in the Israeli genocide in Gaza, principally the brutal invasion of Rafah, which takes more and more Palestinian lives each day. Biden had claimed in the past that the invasion of Rafah by Israel would be a red line, and even threatened to withhold weapons shipments (while actually halting some shipments of bombs) over the threat of invasion. “I made it clear that if they go into Rafah—they haven’t gone in Rafah yet—if they go into Rafah, I’m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities—that deal with that problem,” Biden said during a CNN interview on May 8.

Appeal From Gaza Journalists: Boycott White House Correspondents’ Dinner

April 19, 2024 Open Letter, Mondoweiss. , , , ,
In the past six months alone, the Israeli military has executed over 125 Palestinian journalists in Gaza — 10 percent of Gaza’s community of journalists. The year 2023 marked the bloodiest year for journalists worldwide in over a decade, with over 75 percent of killed journalists targeted by Israel’s attacks on Gaza. As Palestinian journalists, we urgently appeal to you, our colleagues globally, with a demand for immediate and unwavering action against the Biden administration’s ongoing complicity in the systematic slaughter and persecution of journalists in Gaza.

The White House Is Wrong: Section 702 Needs Drastic Change

April 9, 2024 Brendan Gilligan and Matthew Guariglia, Electronic Frontier Foundation. , , , , ,
With Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act set to expire later this month, the White House recently released a memo objecting to the SAFE Act—legislation introduced by Senators Dick Durbin and Mike Lee that would reauthorize Section 702 with some reforms. The White House is wrong. SAFE is a bipartisan bill that may be our most realistic chance of reforming a dangerous NSA mass surveillance program that even the federal government’s privacy watchdog and the White House itself have acknowledged needs reform.
