The Anti-War Committee Chicago began in 2012 by individuals who had successfully marched against NATO in May 2012. We organize vigils, rallies, marches, educational forums, street theater and civil disobedience actions to challenge the injustices of U.S. foreign policy. We believe in peace through justice and we stand in solidarity with oppressed people here and abroad.

Israel’s murderous Operation
Protective Edge has ended, with the worst death toll of
Palestinians ever. And yet, Israeli cabinet members, and
even Zbigniew Brzezinski, are seeing this as a defeat
for Israel.
What is the sum-up of the
Gaza assault? What will be the consequences of this?
- For the Two State solution?
- For the Palestinian leadership?
- For the BDS (boycott/divestment/sanctions) movement?
- For the movement of the Palestinian diaspora?
Come to a discussion to
understand the lessons of the Israeli war on Gaza, the
Palestinian resistance, and how to build the anti-war
and solidarity movement here.
Sponsors so far: Anti-War
Committee – Chicago; Freedom Road Socialist
Organization; U.S. Palestinian Community Network, Chicago Area Peace Action, SDS at College of DuPage.
