remember to social distance (6 feet apart)! The rally will end at the Fifth
Regiment Armory, Howard and Preston Sts.

87] – The Baltimore Nonviolence Center,
Baltimore Peace Action, the Communist Party USA Baltimore Club, Maryland Peace
Action, and the Peoples Power Assembly objects vehemently that Governor Larry
Hogan has acquiesced with President Trump’s call for federal troops and
National Guard units to be sent to Washington, D.C. to quell the protests. In the past Gov. Hogan has distanced himself
from Trump and his abhorrent policies.
As part of the demand
to remove Maryland National Guard troops from Washington, D.C., there will be a
protest at the 5th Regiment Armory at Howard and Preston Streets, Baltimore starting at 3:30 PM on Sat. June 6. It is
expected that the car caravan and marchers who planned a demonstration at the Police
Headquarters are expected to join the demonstration at the Armory around 4 PM. The
attack on the First Amendment by the Trump administration is expected to
continue and to worsen. We have to
protect the Constitution and speak out against creeping fascism.
The Trump administration, including the Department of Injustice and the
Department of War are facilitating this attack on the First Amendment. This may be a prelude of more to come. If Trump loses the election, will he refuse
to step down? Now is the time to act as the illegal and unconstitutional
behavior of the federal government will only worsen. Contact Max at

The Trump Administration is again beating the war
drums. Most recently, the target is Iran. Should the Trump
administration initiate an act of war against Iran, consider joining us. It is a violation of U.S. law for the Trump Administration 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.
Should a war criminal, John Bolton, convince Trump to attack either of these
countries, 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 military strike against Iran or Venezuela takes place, then meet at 33rd and N. Charles St., Baltimore 21218. If the attack
is before 2 PM local time, then the event will begin at 5 PM, local
time. If the attack occurs after 5 PM local time, then the event
will begin at 5 PM, local time, the following day. Contact Max at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot
net.

94] -- Join an
extraordinary global campaign for the elimination of nuclear weapons: http://www.globalzero.org/sign-declaration.
A growing group of leaders around the world is calling for the elimination of
nuclear weapons and a majority of the global public agrees. This is an
historic window of opportunity. With momentum already building in favor
of Zero, a major show of support from people around the world could tip the
balance. When it comes to nuclear weapons, one is one too many.

“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
