The Struggle for Peace Intensifies

As we enter a pivotal election year, the US/Israeli/Saudi drive for supremacy in the Middle East and control of the world's oil supply is intensifying, most clearly shown by the assassination of Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani. The Trump administration continues to stonewall on Korea negotiations, successfully orchestrated a coup in Bolivia while it continues to squeeze Venezuela, and is building up U.S. military power, including new nuclear weapons, and has added a Space Force as a sixth branch of the armed forces.

The peace and progressive movement is expressing a vision of a more peaceful foreign policy most clearly through the Bernie Sanders campaign and also through the contributions of Sen. Elizabeth Warren, Tulsi Gabbard, Sen. Ed Markey, and the four Congresswomen of color called "the Squad", who include Massachusetts Rep. Ayanna Pressley; in the State Legislature through the Commonwealth Peace and Justice Agenda; and through large street protests after the Soleimani killing.

Join us in to build the movement to militarism and turn the U.S. towards peace and justice. At Massachusetts Peace Action's 2020 annual meeting, we will present the organization's program plan for members' approval, hear from our keynote speaker, discuss in small breakout groups how to take action, elect board members, and hear a financial report.
