Drive U.S. Imperialism Out of the Middle East! Message-ID: <1491776870.1028329.939346896.42ACDD27@webmail.messagingengine.com> Internationalist Group leaflet: Defend Syria! Drive U.S. Imperialism Out of the Middle East! http://www.internationalist.org/defendsyriadriveusoutofmiddleeast1704.html In the early morning hours of April 7, the United States launched a missile attack on a Syrian air base, supposedly in reprisal for a chemical weapons attack that killed up to a hundred people. There is no proof that the Syrian government launched this attack, and considerable circumstantial evidence suggesting otherwise. The U.S. imperialists are the biggest mass murderers on the face of the planet. This is the kind of incident they have typically used to launch their wars, from the U.S. invasion of Cuba in 1898 to the non-existent “weapons of mass destruction” used to sell the 2003 invasion of Iraq. War hysteria against Syria is being whipped up in unison by the imperialist media, retailing propaganda from jihadi groups in Syria and echoed by an array of capitalist politicians. Trump’s missile strike has united Democrats and Republicans in banging the drums of war. War hawk and (well-paid) defender of Wall Street Hillary Clinton called to destroy the Syrian air force. In the face of this blatant imperialist aggression, the Internationalist Group and League for the Fourth International call for defense of Syria against U.S. attack, and to kick the U.S. and its NATO imperialist allies out of the Middle East.

Some people are going from here to Washington DC for a big march there, but there are many sister marches around the country, including here in Champaign. The C-U People's Climate March *location **has changed *due to weather: 2-4pm Saturday, April 29th *Grace Lutheran Church* *313 S. Prospect (corner of Springfield and Prospect), Champaign* A bunch of groups are tabling, with the idea that we hope to connect the importance of addressing climate change with a suite of connected efforts. So the People's Climate Platform, alongside planks about investing in renewable energy and energy efficiency, also includes demands for a $15 minimum wage, as well as things like: Ensure that in the New Energy and Economic Future, investments are targeted to create pathways for low-income people and people of color to access good jobs and improve the lives of communities of color, indigenous peoples, low-income people, small farmers, women, and workers. and Provide a Just Transition for communities and workers negatively impacted by the shift to a New Energy and Economic Future that includes targeted economic opportunity and provides stable income, health care, and education. Groups tabling include Sierra Club, Food and Water Watch, Prairie Rivers Network, Eco-Justice Collaborative, the Prairie Greens, PDA, U of I Students for Environmental ConcernS, Demand Universal Healthcare, UU Church of Urbana-Champaign, and others. And among the speakers, along with representatives of some of the above groups, will be State Sen. Scott Bennett, State Rep. Carol Ammons, and two high school students from a youth environmental group called iMatter, who write that > We have created a report card that evaluates the cities’ > environmental progress in comparison to where scientists say that > we need to be. The students will present this report card to both > the Champaign and Urbana City Council in early May as well as put > forward a Climate Inheritance Resolution that they will ask the > city to sign and petition signatures in support that they have > collected at their schools. We may go marching along the Springfield/Prospect sidewalk afterward. -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

The film is really funny! If you click on it you’ll help them win a contest and get the film shown in Hollywood! > (from Brian Hagy) in the meanwhile, if you get a moment, could u help out the prompting theater by going to the following links and watching the movie. it's the same movie at both links. we made this film last weekend in about 2 days. the film is for a film competition we've entered. the film that gets the most views and shares by Thursday May 11 will win the publicity award. part of the award includes having the movie show in Hollywood!!!!! The reason I ask you to go to both links is because then we get credit for both views (on youtube and facebook, same film, but each is separate, so counts as separate views). You can also share it with others so that they can watch it and also share it, and so on (helping to increase our views!) > > thank Susan!!!! > > > Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/disabilityfilmchallenge/videos/2129847477241533/?hc_location=ufi > > > Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O-Oe1HtVmpg&spfreload=5 > > > > > > > On Fri, Apr 28, 2017 at 1:37 PM, Susan Parenti > wrote: >> >> Hello friends— >> This Saturday 3pm at the Park House will be a concert of live music, with an open rehearsal of one of the newest pieces, a Quartet, by the inimitable Ya’aqov Ziso.
