The proposed wall and additional security measures will be devastating for migrants and border communities. During the last shutdown, federal employees and federal contractors were forced to work without pay or to scrape by on furlough, while people relying on government assistance were forced to seek out limited community alternatives and refugees were trapped in bureaucratic limbo. Make no mistake—a grassroots movement ended the shutdown. Trump gave in only when air traffic controllers and flight attendants stopped clocking in and airlines across the east coast began to close down.

Support migrants and border struggles. There are multiple initiatives already demonstrating hospitality to migrants and physically defying the border that separates the United States from Mexico, from autonomous kitchens in Tijuana to indigenous-led anti-border camps in Texas. Build the capacity to undermine the border, welcome refugees, and demonstrate that free movement can be beautiful, safe, and beneficial for all—so long as the police and la migra stay out of the way. Share your marches, actions, and mutual aid initiatives with the hashtag #BlockTheWall, or tweet updates to @BlockTheWall on twitter or BlockTheWall123 on Instagram.  See https://www.facebook.com/events/396410317828657/.

Listen to punk music. The Rojava Revolution, founded on the pillars of autonomy, ecological sustainability, and gender equality, began in 2012 during the onset of the Syrian Civil War. The Syrian dictator Assad was forced to pull his troops out of Northern Syria to combat rebel groups in other parts of the country, which left a power vacuum in the region. Kurdish people and others capitalized to build a democratic, anti-capitalist society.

The YPG (people's protection units) and the YPJ (women's protection units) of Rojava have been recognized as the most effective forces against ISIS. US troops are also in the region fighting ISIS. In mid-December Trump suddenly announced a withdrawal of US troops from Syria. The withdrawal could allow Turkey's fascist Prime Minister Erdogan, who has said that he wants to "bury Kurds in ditches", to expand his genocidal attack on the Kurdish people. Many Rojavans have been, of course, distrusting of the US military & knew a betrayal was on the horizon, but have relied on the US military as a buffer against an attack by the Turkish State (NATOs second largest army). Rojavans need more support and funds in order to defend themselves from Turkish attacks. Additionally, they need funds to support those who were displaced from Efrin, a city in Rojava that was captured by Turkey in March 2018.

87] – Do you have any interest in challenging the Trump administration for reneging on the Iran Deal? If yes, would you be interested in joining a Peace Caravan to the Iranian embassy in Washington, D.C.? Contact Max at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net.  

88] – It is a violation of U.S. law for us to attack a country that has not attacked us, as only Congress can declare war. The Trump administration is nevertheless beating the war drums for war against Iran and Venezuela. The Mueller investigation is tightening the vise, and could cause Trump to attack those countries in order to divert attention from Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Such a military strike would demand an immediate and unequivocal response from us to show that we will not tolerate his abuse of power.

Let's mobilize to show that we the people will not tolerate another military adventure, which would be bound to have profound negative consequences. If a preemptive military strike against Iran or North Korea takes place, then meet outside the War Memorial, 101 N. Gay St., Baltimore, MD 21202. If the attack is before 2 PM local time, then events will begin at 5 PM, local time. If the attack occurs after 2 PM local time, then events will begin at noon, local time, the following day. Contact Max at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net.

“One is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total inability of violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
