SUMMARY:Winnipeg Lanterns for Peace 2024
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, Aug 6\, 2024\nTime: 7:30 pm\nPlace: the south side of the Manitoba Legislative Building \n79 years ago\, the world was introduced to the horrors of nuclear war. The death\, destruction and suffering that resulted from the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki\, on Aug 6 and 9\, 1945 meant that the world had changed for the worse. Nothing would ever be the same. The mushroom clouds that arose over Japan cast a shadow that menaces every living creature\, even today. \nIn 1945 the United States had a monopoly on nuclear power; today\, nine countries have their own nuclear arsenals and many more\, via NATO\, are set up to use these weapons. Even more alarming is the present conflict in Ukraine which pits a nuclear armed Russia against a nuclear-armed NATO. \nTherefore\, we gather annually to remember people whose lives were lost in August 1945\, to remember the survivors whose lives were unalterably damaged\, and to reaffirm our commitment to the abolition all nuclear weapons. \nPlease join us for our annual Lanterns for Peace ceremony. Beginning at 7:30 pm we paint lanterns and make origami cranes. (We provide the art supplies; you contribute your imagination and creativity.) At 9: 15 pm\, following a short program of speeches\, we float our lanterns in the fountain as the sun sets. (Note: If you wish to be seated during the speeches\, please bring a lawn chair.) \nIt is a beautiful ceremony\, rich with meaning and one which can be enjoyed by the whole family. If you have never been to one\, here is a playlist of videos of Lantern Ceremonies over the years. \nSponsors: Peace Alliance Winnipeg\, Japanese Cultural Association of Manitoba\, Winnipeg Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers)\, Mennonite Central Committee

SUMMARY:Webinar: Defending Venezuela Against US-Led Coup Attempt
DESCRIPTION:  \nWhere: Online\, via Zoom. Register at https://bit.ly/VzlaElections3 \nWhen: Sunday\, August 25\, 2024 \nTime: 11 am Winnipeg Time \nThe presidential election in Venezuela\, held on July 28\, concluded with the re-election of President Nicolás Maduro for the next presidential term (2025-2031)\, who won with about 51.9% of the votes according to the second bulletin of the National Electoral Council (CNE). Although he received a little over 7% more votes than his nearest rival\, Edmundo González Urrutia of the far-right coalition Unitary Platform\, the ultra-right opposition has refused to recognise the results\, claiming that President Maduro and the ruling United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV) carried out an electoral fraud. \nJust after the initial declaration of the results in the early morning hours of July 29 and the far-right’s non-recognition of the same\, violent protests erupted in several parts of Venezuela\, causing widespread material and human losses\, including loss of lives\, reminiscent of the guarimbas of 2014 and 2017 and the violence accompanying the Guaidó coup attempt in 2019. In parallel\, the data transmission system of the CNE suffered an unprecedented cyberattack that delayed the transmission of results. Taking advantage of this situation\, far-right politician María Corina Machado published falsified voting minutes as “evidence” of electoral fraud and launched a media campaign presenting González Urrutia as the “winner” of the July 28 election. This has been repeated and inflated by mainstream media outlets across the world as well as on social media. As expected\, the United States declared González as the “president” of Venezuela\, and some of its vassals in Latin America and Europe have followed suit. \nWas there really an electoral fraud in Venezuela? Is there a possibility of executing such a fraud and stealing an election in Venezuela? There were more than 900 international electoral observers and 1\,300 foreign journalists present in the country who witnessed the electoral process. What do they have to say about the election and the fraud claims? To hear directly from some such observers and journalists\, International Manifesto Group and Orinoco Tribune are jointly organising a webinar on August 25\, 2024\, where we will be joined by a number of experts who were present in Venezuela during the electoral process. \nSpeakers:\nDiego Sequera is a journalist\, writer\, translator\, editor\, and political analyst based in Caracas\, Venezuela. He is a founding member of Misión Verdad\, where he writes about geopolitics\, global conflict\, and Latin American and Venezuelan history and politics. \nFrancisco Domínguez is a specialist on Latin America’s contemporary political economy\, about which he has published extensively. A former refugee from Chile’s Pinochet\, he is also National Secretary of the Venezuela Solidarity Campaign in the UK. He is also involved in solidarity activities with Cuba\, Nicaragua\, Bolivia\, Brazil\, Ecuador\, Colombia\, and Mexico. He makes regular contributions to various alternative media. He is co-author of Right-Wing Politics in the New Latin America and author of the pamphlet Maduro: A decade continuing Chavez’s socialist anti-imperialist struggle. \nArnold August\, M.A. in Political Science from McGill University\, where he also completed two years of Ph.D. studies in the same field\, is a Montreal-based author and journalist specializing in geopolitics and international relations\, Global South\, multipolarity\, Latin America\, ALBA (Bolivarian Alliance for Our America)\, Venezuela\, and Cuba. He also focuses on Palestine\, indigenous peoples\, China\, BRICS\, and Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO). He has visited Venezuela five times including for the July 28\, 2024 presidential elections as an international observer\, and written over 40 articles on Venezuela\, many of them also published in Spanish and French. Of his 2013 book (published in English and Spanish) on comparative political systems\, the section on Venezuela is still very valid. His website: www.arnoldaugust.com \nIvan Pankratz is a Venezuela solidarity activist based in Winnipeg\, Canada. In 2007 he went to west Africa where he led workshops for local teachers. He is a math and physical education teacher. \nLinda Christian works with the International Manifesto Group as an administrator.

SUMMARY:Rally: Arms Embargo Now!
DESCRIPTION:CANADA IS STILL ARMING GENOCIDE – Winnipeg Action \nDate: November 16\, 2024\,\nTime: Noon\nPlace: in front of CBC Manitoba\, 541 Portage Ave \nThis action is being taken in coordination with actions across Canada\, led by World Beyond War (Canada).  Despite the wins the Arms Embargo Now campaign has had – and despite Joly’s and Trudeau’s frequent claims to have ended the export of Canadian weapons to Israel – the flow of arms has not stopped. \nOn September 10 2024 Minister Joly said “We will not have any form of arms or parts of arms be sent to Gaza\, period.” This is a lie. Canadian weapons are continuing to be sent to Israel and continue to be used in Gaza (and Lebanon). Here’s what the Canadian government HAS done:\n• Paused issuing any new permits for weapons exports to Israel.\n• Suspended 30 (or roughly 12%) of the 200+ permits that had already been issued. These active permits are for military goods that are continuing to be shipped out to Israel right now.\n• Promised to stop one planned shipment of Canadian-made explosives to Israel through the US. But only after details of this one shipment (among hundreds) were revealed by fluke and provoked huge public outcry. \nHere’s what the Canadian government has NOT done:\n• They haven’t suspended or cancelled 88% of the permits currently being used to ship arms to Israel.\n• They haven’t done anything to stop the vast majority of arms exports to Israel which don’t even need an export permit because they use a loophole that allows military goods to go to Israel via the U.S.\, unreported & unregulated.\n• They haven’t stopped importing weapons from Israel. Canada continues to fund the Israeli war machine by purchasing Israeli weapons for the Canadian military marketed as “battle-tested” on Palestinians. \nSuspending just 12% of active permits to Israel is NOT ENOUGH. Letting Canadian weapons flow to Israel via the U.S.\, untracked and without requiring a permit is UNACCEPTABLE. Join us!!

SUMMARY:MayWorks Watch Party - The Invisible Doctrine
DESCRIPTION:Date: Tuesday\, May 20\, 2025\nTime: 7:00 to 10:00 pm\nVenue: On Zoom\nAdmission: Free. You must register in advance to receive a link to the Zoom meeting. Register at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/dmG4rAu0RhCq2toaXfAldw#/registration. \nThe Invisible Doctrine explores the dominant ideologies\, political economy\, corporate power\, globalization\, labour history\, economic inequality\, consumerism\, environmental issues\, the climate crisis\, public relations and propaganda\, social alienation\, and the rise of authoritarianism and fascism. The film has a depressing topic but an inspiring conclusion\, describing a truly participatory democratic political system to repair the damage neoliberalism has done – a system that appeals to us as active citizens rather than consumers and our shared social\, political\, and environmental commons. \nAfter the film there will be a discussion about the film and systems change as it applies to political and economic systems. \nSponsors: Peace Alliance Winnipeg\, Ethnorama and Marianne Cerilli – Change Agent

SUMMARY:Lanterns for Peace 2025
DESCRIPTION:Date: Wednesday\, Aug 6\, 2025\nTime: 7:30 pm\nPlace: Memorial Park\, Winnipeg (by the fountain) \nEighty years ago\, the world was introduced to the horrors of nuclear war. The death\, destruction and suffering that resulted from the nuclear bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki\, on Aug 6 and 9\, 1945 meant that the world had changed for the worse. Nothing would ever be the same. The mushroom clouds that arose over Japan cast a shadow that menaces every living creature\, even today. \nIn 1945 the United States had a monopoly on nuclear power; today\, nine countries have their own nuclear arsenals and many more\, via NATO\, are set up to use these weapons. Even more alarming is the present conflict in Ukraine which pits a nuclear armed Russia against a nuclear-armed NATO. \nTherefore\, we gather annually to remember people whose lives were lost in August 1945\, to remember the survivors whose lives were unalterably damaged\, and to reaffirm our commitment to the abolition all nuclear weapons. \nPlease join us for our annual Lanterns for Peace ceremony. Beginning at 7:30 pm we paint lanterns and make origami cranes. (We provide the art supplies; you contribute your imagination and creativity.) At 9:15 pm\, following a short program of speeches\, we float our lanterns in the fountain as the sun sets. (Note: If you wish to be seated during the speeches\, please bring a lawn chair.) \nIt is a beautiful ceremony\, rich with meaning and one which can be enjoyed by the whole family. If you have never been to one\, here is a playlist of videos of Lantern Ceremonies over the years. \nProgram\n7:30 – 8:30 PM\nMaking Lanterns \n8:30 – 9:30 PM \nWelcoming Remarks\nCandice Bodnaruk\nJunko Bailey \nGreetings\nDavid Pankratz\, on behalf of Premier Wab Kinew \nKeynote Addresses by\nOwen Schalk\nKristine-Claire Bolisay\nSarah Rohleder \nMayor of Hiroshima Peace Declaration\nRachel Reesor-Taylor \nReading from Black Rain\nCandice Bodnaruk \nThe Story of Sadako\nMomo Phillips \nConcluding Remarks\nJunko Bailey \nLaunch of Lanterns \nSponsors\nPeace Alliance Winnipeg\, Japanese Cultural Association of Manitoba\, Winnipeg Monthly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers)\, Mennonite Central Committee \n

SUMMARY:Rally - Hands off Venezuela!
DESCRIPTION:The United States has been meddling in Venezuelan affairs since the election of Hugo Chávez in 1999. Despite American backed coup attempts\, assassination plots\, and economic sanctions\, the people of Venezuela have stood firm and continued to elect Chávez\, and following his death in 2013\, Nicolás Maduro. \nMore recently\, under the false pretext of combatting drug smugglers\, the US military has been murdering unarmed fishers (more than 70 to date) and amassing a naval fleet off the coast of Venezuela. An invasion could come at any moment. \nInternational solidarity in opposition to America’s plans for Venezuela is building. In coordination with the Canada Wide Peace and Justice Network call for a week of emergency protests November 15–23\, we are holding an information picket. \nSunday\, November 23\, 2025\n1:00 PM\nRiver and Osborne\nWinnipeg \nPlease join us. \nSponsors: Peace Alliance Winnipeg\, Manitoba-Cuba Solidarity Committee\, United in Action\, Communist Party of Canada – Manitoba\, and Araucaria.

SUMMARY:Justice for Hassan Diab
DESCRIPTION:Join us Friday\, March 20 for Justice for Professor Hassan Diab\, a webinar and information evening\, hosted by Peace Alliance Winnipeg and other social justice organizations. Guests are welcome to join us online or in-person. \n\nHear from Professor Diab himself as well as his lawyer Donald Bayne about how this case is an especially egregious example of the failures of the Canadian justice system and our biased extradition laws. The injustice began in 2008 when the then University of Ottawa Professor was arrested by the RCMP for a 1980 Paris synagogue bombing. He has always maintained his innocence. Canada then extradited Professor Diab to France in 2011\, where he would spend more than three years in prison\, most of it in solitary confinement\, despite never being charged with a crime. Today Diab has is still being relentlessly pursued by the French legal system. Although in 2018 he was finally permitted to return home to Canada\, as recently as April 2023 Professor Diab was convicted in absentia in France after an unfair trial. \n\nThis case is an especially egregious example of the failures of the Canadian justice system and our biased extradition laws. Join us for this important meeting to hear from social justice groups on the case and find out how you can become involved to support Professor Diab. \n\nThe event is free but donations are welcome. \nUkrainian Labour Temple \n591 Pritchard Avenue \n7:00 PM \nMarch 20\, 2026 \nRegister for zoom webinar.

SUMMARY:Book Launch: Canada & NATO: Myth of a Global Peacekeeper
DESCRIPTION:Join author Owen Schalk at the launch of his new book\, Canada & NATO: Myth of a Global Peacekeeper. His book disrupts the popular perception of NATO in the West—that it is a defensive\, collective security organization—and explains that this is a myth. The book aims to prove five central points: 1) NATO has always been an offensive alliance\, 2) the wars it wages are not just\, 3) its existence and expansion stirs global tensions and raises the risk of global war\, 4) it undermines Canadian sovereignty\, and 5) it diverts resources that can serve the social needs of Canadians into a largely US-owned arms industry. Schalk thus makes a compelling argument that Canadians should oppose NATO and support their government’s withdrawal from the alliance. \nDate: Friday\, April 10\, 2026\nTime: 7:00 pm\nPlace: McNally Robinson Booksellers\, Grant Park Shopping Mall\, 1120 Grant Avenue\, Winnipeg \nMore information and pre-order the book: https://www.mcnallyrobinson.com/9781997544074/owen-schalk/canada-and-nato-myth-of-a-global-peacekeeper. \nYouTube Livestream Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLMfVuzIHso
