Latin America,Exposing U.S. Intervention and Sanctions, Building People's Solidarity: Anti-Imperialist Campaign Action Series

Join CODEPINK’s  Anti-Imperialist Campaign Series as we take a deeper look at our Latin America campaign. We will discuss the many faces of U.S. intervention in Latin America, reveal how economic strangulation through sanctions, the violent coups disguised as "democracy promotion," the corporate plunder of land and resources have all led to increase migration to the United States, where migrants are now being met with the brutal violence and trauma of ICE detention and deportation. 

These weeks of focus begins with a webinar where our Latin America campaign manager, Michelle Ellner, will expose the devastating impacts of:

• 60+ years of the illegal U.S. blockade on Cuba - one of history's longest-running economic wars
• Crushing sanctions and coup attempts against Venezuela that deny people food, medicine, and self-determination
• The Good Neighbor Policy and what it could mean for Latin American sovereignty
  

Through articles and social media threads, we will educate on how the same system that destabilizes Latin America fuels repression in our own communities through militarized police and ICE. True justice requires we confront these connections - and join our struggles across borders. By the end, you will be equipped to take action, such as:

• Joining campaigns to lift sanctions and end blockades
• Building alternatives to the extractive war economy

Join us to break the chains of empire and grow the people's movement for liberation!

A course on modern Middle Eastern history was originally scheduled to be taught at Columbia University in Fall 2025. However, as Columbia continues its complicity in covering up the U.S.-Israeli genocide against Palestine and capitulates to the Trump administration at the expense of academic freedom and student rights, Professor Rashid Khalidi found it impossible to teach his course. This segment of the course, entitled A Short Course on Palestine, will now be offered at The People’s Forum, co-sponsored with the Institute for Palestine Studies, making it accessible to the broader public. 

WHAT:

This course examines the history of Palestine since 1917 in summary form. It starts from the premise that this is not a “conflict” between two equally matched parties, or that it started with the wars of 1948 or 1967. Rather, these episodes are part of a systematic, if intermittent, war that has lasted for over a century, aimed at dispossessing the Palestinian people and transforming their homeland into an exclusive Jewish national home. This war had its origins in several phenomena: the irruption of imperialism into the Middle East; the rise of nation-state nationalisms, both Arab and Jewish; the settler-colonial methods employed by the Zionist movement to “transform Palestine into the land of Israel” in the words of an early Zionist leader; and stubborn Palestinian resistance to these settler colonial aims and methods.

Emerging in response to virulent European anti-Semitism, the Zionist movement was, and initially saw itself as, both a nationalist and a settler-colonial project. After searching for other sponsors, in 1917 this movement garnered the support of the British Empire, which considered it to be a tool to achieve its strategic aims in the Middle East, and as a “little loyal Jewish Ulster in a sea of potentially hostile Arabism,” in the words of one British colonial official. Zionism thereby obtained the wherewithal for launching an externally supported war on Palestine and its people. Since then, the offspring of this movement, the state of Israel, has enjoyed the uninterrupted backing of major global powers, most importantly the United States. These powers saw Israel as serving their regional objectives, and have played crucial roles in supporting all of Israel’s wars since 1948.

WHEN:

The course meets on Tuesdays from September 30 to October 28, from  6:30 – 8:30 PM ET, and will be held in-person at The People’s Forum in NYC (320 W 37th St.) and will be livestreamed via YouTube for those who cannot attend in-person.

This fall, MAPA’s Indigenous Solidarity Working Group will be hosting a virtual reading group to discuss “The Gatherings: Reimagining Indigenous-Settler Relations” by Mawopiyane and Shirley N. Hager. Join us!

Join CODEPINK for our Anti-Imperialist Campaign Series’s focus on our Cut the Pentagon campaign to learn more about the upcoming trillion-dollar Pentagon budget and what we can do to redirect funds for death and destruction to resources for healthcare, education, housing, and climate justice. 

These weeks of education and action kicks off with a webinar hosted by national COEPINK co-director, Danaka Katovich, to discuss:

• The history of the Pentagon budget fueling waste, war, and inequality
• How the “big beautiful bill” secured billions of dollars more for the military budget
• What is at stake when in invest in war over the people and the planet

During the weeks in focus, through social media series, articles, and a radio show, we will share facts and resources on the tradeoffs, how the Big Beautiful Bill will result in millions of hard-working Americans losing access to essential resources -  including Medicaid and SNAP, and how resources are hard earned dollars are being diverted from crucial human and environmental protection services are placed directly into the pockets of private companies and the top 5% wealthiest individuals. 

We will conclude with tangible ways you can take action to Cut the Pentagon. Studies have clearly shown that campaign contributions from war profiteers heavily influence our representatives when it comes time to vote for the Pentagon budget every year. We will give you ways to: 

• Email your representative asking them to #DivestFromWar!
• Meet with your Rep and ask them to sign the Divest Congress pledge
• An A-Z Guide to Divest Congress from War
• Talking points for Congressional meetings

The Pentagon’s blank check ends with us! Join our Cut the Pentagon weeks and let's end it together.
