We are passionate supporters of all but one of the items on the Hands Off agenda for the April 5 rallies. We couldn’t agree more that the corrupt U.S. government should stop destroying, privatizing, firing, and giving away the post office, schools, land, Social Security, healthcare, environmental protections, and all sorts of essential public services. But we are deeply disturbed to see NATO (The North Atlantic Treaty Organization) on the list of items that we are rallying to protect.

By David Swanson, World BEYOND War, March 31, 2025Some cities and towns have a venue where activists organizing for peace and justice can, on short notice, and at little or no expense, hold an event with one or more speakers or performers. Some have nothing of the sort, but many have a church basement or an old warehouse. Some of these spaces have microphones and sound systems. Very few have food.
