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.

Donald Trump and his accomplices are conducting a creeping coup, which is seizing all the powers of the government and concentrating them in the personal will of the President. The consequence is armed attack abroad and armed assault against American cities. Popular opposition is growing and a powerful movement-based opposition is resisting. But what about a worst-case scenario where neither electoral nor non-electoral opposition forestalls a MAGA tyranny?

Experience from Poland to the Philippines to South Korea to Puerto Rico has shown that “social strikes” — including mass strikes, general strikes, and nonviolent popular uprisings — can overcome tyrannical dictatorships. The Minnesota “Day of Peace and Freedom”, has shown the power of a social strike right here in the US.

Join us on February 16 for a webinar on the potential of social strikes to combat Trump’s authoritarian juggernaut. Learn about the history of social strike resistance to tyranny around the world; the lessons of the Minneapolis “Day of Truth and Freedom”; the role of organized labor; and how to use social strikes to establish government of the people, by the people, and for the people.

  "Fascism is fueled by the division and isolation among the working class because if the working class is so busy fighting amongst each other, we won't be strong enough to go after the elites. This is why a movement among working-class people and across political parties is necessary to rise and revolt for a better future. 
  
  The film screening features the documentary The Deciders, in a deep red southern and low-income town, where working-class people across political parties unite to fight for a living wage and to tax the rich!

How the War Economy Created Individualism and Eroded Community & Connection

We have been told that humans are inherently selfish. It is argued that we are innately prone to violence and aggression, and that our history is cluttered with acts of aggression, war, cruelty, and social hierarchy. This kind of thinking permeates almost every definition of what it means to be human.

It is WRONG!

Join us for the next Local Peace Economy gathering to discuss cutting-edge ideas about the deep roots of cooperation, connection, and empathy inside us all, and how the war economy has lied to us, keeping us isolated and alienated from what it truly means to be human.

Join us for a panel discussion moderated by Kenneth Yee where our speakers, Marcus Breen, Duncan McFarland, and Ting Huang, will provide an overview of the ways in which the U.S. government generates negative media coverage about China in order to manufacture consent for war. Our speakers will discuss examples of recent US Government programs that have used media to reflect poorly on Chinese economic and social development, and reinforce negative impressions of China.

Our pannelists will discuss the China-focused Committees in the U.S. House and explain how the activities of these Congressional China Committees shape public perception about China. This webinar will also provide context on U.S.-China relations more broadly and analyze the Trump administration’s foreign policy directives and how they fit into the recent National Security Strategy.

The Israel-U.S. genocide in Gaza is not just the work of governments. It is also fueled by corporations that profit from death and destruction. For years, our calls to officials have been met with silence, deflection, or outright lies, all while corporations that fund and supply the war machine continue to operate in silence.

That is where we come in.

For thirty minutes, we will engage in collective action to demand accountability from the companies involved. These companies rely heavily on public perception and a smooth workday to maximize their profits. 

We will begin with a brief orientation to the purpose of our calls, a review of the call script, and clear instructions on whom to contact and how to do so. Through constant action, we can disrupt their silence.

US imperial intervention has denied Iranians and Palestinians self-determination for 75 years.

Coupled with President Trump’s threats against Iran, the “board of peace” promises a new, dangerous, and unaccountable stage of US/European/Israeli policy in the Middle East.  

Jeremy Scahill and Rami G. Khouri assess the causes and possible responses.

Seeking Women’s Health Justice, a subcommittee of Massachusetts Peace Action’s Fund Healthcare Not Warfare campaign, examines women’s health from the perspective of justice – with the awareness that peace is a fundamental issue of health. The cost of U.S. militarism drains economic resources at the expense of health and lives. Through awareness and understanding of the culture that promotes war, we examine the intersection of peace and women’s health, which is justice. Our work offers paths of action that can be taken to oppose militarism and to nurture health and enhance justice.

To commemorate International Women’s Day, originally organized by the union movement, this webinar explores how unions have played a role in shaping women’s health and health services.

Unions have influenced women’s health and health services by improving working conditions, securing maternity and reproductive rights, expanding access to healthcare, strengthening health services, and challenging gender inequality. Union activism has helped transform women’s health from a private concern into a social and workplace issue, benefiting both women as workers and women as healthcare users.
