These people can't get anything right. Now they're shilling for the Houthis. Every rational opponent of the US/Saudi et al. aggression is also opposed to the various sectarian and/or bourgeois forces on both sides of the conflict (while standing by grassroots movements for rights, social justice, etc.). But in UNAC's eyes if you're not for Washington's opponents you're nowhere, man. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: UNAC <unacpe...@gmail.com> Date: Sat, May 2, 2015 at 9:12 AM Subject: [unac] Yemen and UNAC conference To: u...@lists.riseup.net Full Schedule and Registration at the Conference Website: http://UNACconference2015.org <http://unacconference2015.org/> Video to promote the conference by Go Pro Radio Nerwork: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=aXgg80BTHH8 Stop the Saudi / U.S. Bombing of Yemen! UNAC statement on Yemen The massive month-long bombardment of Yemen conducted by Saudi Arabia is in reality yet another U.S. war in the region. Not one Saudi bombing mission is possible without U.S. logistical and intelligence support. It is critical that the U.S. antiwar movement understand and focus on the U.S. role and its military, political and diplomatic support of the brutal Saudi devastation of Yemen, the poorest country in the region. More than 1,000 Yemenis have been murdered to date, 8,000 wounded and 150,000 displaced from their homes.

Conference set for May 8-10 in Secaucus, N.J.* *Hundreds of antiwar and social justice activists from around the country will be gathering in Secaucus, N.J., from May 8 to 10 for a conference titled “Stop the Wars at Home & Abroad!”* Hosted by the *United National Antiwar Coalition*, the goal of the event is to build the progressive movement by bringing together activists who work primarily on issues of U.S. wars and occupations with those in the emerging domestic movements such as Black Lives Matter, Fight for $15 and climate change. “Most young activists today have grown up in a period of constant war,” said UNAC Co-Coordinator Marilyn Levin, a longtime peace activist and a veteran of the U.S. Civil Rights Movement. “Conflicts overseas have become a kind of background to their lives while they concentrate on more immediate issues like police shootings, costly student loans and raising the minimum wage. What we want to do in Secaucus is discuss how all these issues are related, share experiences, learn from new ideas and move forward together in the struggle for peace and social justice.” Among those scheduled to speak at the gathering are former U.S. Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney, former U.S. Army Col. Anne Wright, former CIA analyst and whistleblower Ray McGovern and former U.S. Army Ranger Rory Fanning, now all prominent antiwar activists. Also Michael McPhearson of Veterans for Peace; Medea Benjamin, co-founder of Code Pink; and Kathy Kelly, co-coordinator of Voices for Creative Nonviolence. From the domestic struggle side, scheduled speakers include Glen Ford, executive editor of Black Agenda Report; Lawrence Hamm, chairman of the People's Organization for Progress (POP) in Newark, N.J.; Jaribu Hill, co-founder of the Mississippi Workers Center for Human Rights; Charles Jenkins, president of the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists; Michael McPhearson, executive director of the Don't Shoot Coalition in St. Louis, Mo.; Lucy Pagoada, co-founder of Honduras USA Resistencia; Rolandah Cleopattrah McMillan, a McDonalds's workers and organizer with Virginia Raise Up; and Clarence Thomas, a leader of the West Coast International Longshore & Warehouse Union, which is calling for a May 1 port shutdown in solidarity with the Black Lives Matter movement. A special feature of the conference will be Skype greetings from Cuba from the recently released Cuban Five, as well as greetings from U.S. political prisoner Mumia abu-Jamal. The conference will be held at the Empire Meadows (Clarion) Hotel in Secaucus, N.J.
