Webinars:
There will be a webinar -- "The Elections: US Citizens Denied a Choice for Peace, People or Planet" with a panel of Margaret Kimberley, Sara Flounders, Ajamu Baraka, and Wilmer Leon III and moderated by Radhika Desai today Sunday, November 3rd at 11am EST It was organized by the International Manifesto Group and co-sponsored by the Black Agenda Report, Black Alliance for Peace, and UNAC:
"Regardless of which candidate makes it to the White House, the real winner will once again be the one or another section of the imperialist, neoliberal, financialised, warmongering, pro-genocide US ruling class. Both appear set to keep the conflagrations raging in West Asia and Ukraine going, while provoking China and Russia and pushing the world ever closer to nuclear war. Both will keep increasing the burdens of working people in the US while favouring a few dozen big corporations. Our panel asks whether and how the duopoly’s stranglehold on the political system may be broken."

End the Attacks on Samidoun and all Palestinian Rights Supporters
Please endorse this statement in support of the Work of Samidoun and all those who have been suppressed for raising their voices on behalf of the Palestinian people
We condemn the US and Canadian attack on Samidoun, an organization that fights for the rights of Palestinian political prisoners. They have been declared a “sham charity” that serves terrorist organizations, and have accused one of its Palestinian-Canadian supporters, Khaled Barakat to be “associated with terrorism.” These allegations are untrue and are simply an attempt by the US and Canada to stop the growing movement for Palestinian Rights and against the Zionist genocide in Gaza. It is Israel and the United States who are the real terrorists.
This attack comes in the context of attempts to punish Palestinian Rights activists for their protests. Many have been arrested or excluded from their campuses and the corporate media enforces a blackout of the horrors of the Zionist genocide in Gaza. Other Palestinian rights activists and organizations have been deplatformed or censored on social media and still other people have been arrested or have had their homes invaded by the FBI. This attack on Samidoun is an attack on all who fight for human rights and against genocide and has been especially aimed at Palestinians and Muslims, thousands of whom have been arrested since the US phony “War on Terror.”
The US and Canadian support for the Zionist genocide has exposed both countries and their Zionist client as criminal violators of human rights. Despite the attempts to shape the narrative about the genocide in Palestine in favor of Israel in the corporate media, social media has been ablaze with their crimes and millions around the world see their true nature and have been moved to build a movement that threatens their entire Zionist and imperialist system. So, they are now trying to stop all organizations that tell the truth about this genocide and the attack on Samidoun should be seen in this light.
UNAC demands:
Hands off Samidoun!
End the Censorship and repression!
End the Genocide in Palestine!
Free Palestine!
