Register here to join us online on Zoom and pose your questions to Nida

Nida is running for the 4th Congressional District in NC, where she previously ran in 2022. Unfortunately, AIPAC was threatened by Nida’s strong progressive values and support for peace and human rights, and donated nearly $3 million to Nida’s opponent, who went on to narrowly win the seat. But 2026 is not 2022. Thanks to activists like you — who have worked tirelessly to draw attention to the plight of Gazans — that same opponent, and now incumbent, faced public pressure to reject AIPAC donations, giving Nida a real chance at victory. Of course, as dedicated journalists have found, AIPAC still has ways to mask its giving and channel it through other sources, so Nida will need all the support she can get from the grassroots.

Please join us next Tuesday and show Nida that the peace movement has her back in this important primary election!

Michigan has become a national ground zero in the U.S. war on China, where its economic, academic, and technological importance has been weaponized by politicians and media to manufacture fear about Chinese people and industry. Across party lines, Michigan politicians have used anti-China hysteria for political gain, producing policies that echo historic racial exclusion rather than genuine security protection.

This webinar will expose how the University of Michigan and federal agencies turned routine research and visa issues involving Chinese scholars into national-security scandals, fueling discrimination and shutting down vital scientific collaboration. It will also detail how Chinese-linked industries like the Gotion battery plant were falsely portrayed as espionage threats despite a lack of evidence, even as Michigan’s own economy depends heavily on Chinese trade and supply chains. 

We will be joined by Dana Showtyme Burton, a Detroit native who has spent over 25 year living in China. Burton is a political analyst and hip hop artist, known for fostering a generation of influential rappers across China.

The threat of war continues to loom over Iran. After more than two weeks of nationwide unrest that rocked the country, the protest movement appears temporarily contained following an intense and coordinated security crackdown. Meanwhile, outside actors openly brag about exploiting the situation for their ends, and reports suggest a military strike by the Trump Administration might be imminent. 

On Friday, Jan. 30th at 3 pm, NIAC President, Jamal Abdi, will join journalist and analyst Negar Mortazavi and award-winning foreign affairs correspondent and author of All the Shah’s Men, Stephen Kinzer, in conversation. The panel will unpack the current situation inside Iran and the geopolitical landscape, including U.S. and Israeli calculations following the 12-day war last June that killed hundreds of Iranian civilians, and where we go from here. 

The event will be online and presentations will be recorded.  Sponsored by NIAC and Massachusetts Peace Action Education Fund.

Our nation and world are in a period of continuing danger and difficulty: The recently passed Pentagon budget is higher than ever and is funding a new generation of nuclear weapons; The tragic Israel/Gaza Conflict continues; The Russia/Ukraine conflict remains a source of increased danger of nuclear war;  The attacks on Venezuela opens a new front of “forever wars”. The egregious costs of the weapons buildups is draining our tax dollars from critical civilian needs, among which are K-12 public schools and higher education. This Conference continues the tradition of trying to increase cooperation and collaboration among those advocating for nuclear disarmament and social and economic justice.

The Alliance of Sahel States (AES) originated on September 16, 2023, bringing together Mali, Niger, and Burkina Faso. Its primary objectives were to improve mutual security, foster independent economic growth, and develop political sovereignty.

In a global context in which the contradiction between the imperial powers and the rising multipolar world continues to sharpen, some see in the AES a sign of one of the major fissures in the imperial world order, and perhaps even the emergence of the early stages of a Pan-African socialist project. Here, they say, we have countries that appear to be taking full advantage of major geopolitical shifts to develop their own projects of national sovereignty, breaking with years of colonial and neocolonial subjugation. Others have raised questions about the role of military rule in these countries, the persistence of neocolonial control mechanisms like the CFA franc, as well as the AES’s reticence to run elections until the countries are on a more sovereign footing (in order to guarantee their democratic legitimacy).

Join Author, Jeremy Varon, in conversation with CODEPINK Co-Founders, Medea Benjamin and Jodie Evans to discuss the Jeremy's book, Our Grief Is Not a Cry for War. 

An original history of the popular movement against the War on Terror—the greatest case of “we told you so” in modern political history.
 
Just after 9/11, President George W. Bush climbed the rubble where the World Trade Center had stood. Surrounded by shouts of anger, he said, “The people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon!” With these words, Bush ushered in the War on Terror. Quickly, a global protest movement mobilized against it, reshaping the political, moral, and media landscape.
RSVP for a discounted co y of the book!

Dr. Ivana Nikolic´ Hughes will discuss the urgent need for a negotiated end to the Ukraine War, even with significant concessions to the Russians given the increasingly dire military situation facing the Ukrainians.  This would prevent the US or NATO from escalating with new long-range missiles, troops, or attacks on Russian shipping and other targets– such as the alleged Ukrainian 90-drone ‘decapitation’ attack in late December on one of Russian President Putin’s homes– to try to avoid a total Ukrainian defeat.   Such escalation could trigger WWIII, and a catastrophic nuclear war.

Cosponsored by Ukraine: A Time for Peace Campaign and the Nuclear Disarmament Working Group of MAPA.

Sari Bashi, human rights lawyer – former Program Director of Human Rights Watch, co-founder of Gisha-Legal Center for Freedom of Movement. Sari lives in a mixed Israeli-Palestinian family, which is the subject of her new memoir, Upside-Down Love. Sari will share her perspective on the ceasefire in Gaza, the escalating violence in the West Bank, and the opportunities emerging for transformative change.

In August 2025, Sari overcame Israeli legal barriers and moved to the West Bank, near Ramallah, to be with her husband, Osama, a Palestinian professor originally from Gaza. Nonetheless, the Israeli military refuses to update his registered home in order to facilitate the expansion of West Bank Jewish settlements and minimize the number of Palestinians living there.
