Milwaukee, WI – This Sunday, October 1st at 2:00pm, the Milwaukee Anti-War Committee (MAC) will be rallying on the corner of St. Paul and Water St as part of a Week of Action called by the United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC) and the Peace in Ukraine Coalition to bring an end to the War in Ukraine. This rally will be one of the many events being held across the globe by anti-war activists, taking place from September 30th through October 8th.
MAC’s demands for the event are as follows:
- Ceasefire Now! – An immediate, negotiated ceasefire is necessary to stop further loss of life and begin deescalation.
- End the War in Ukraine! – Diplomacy is the only path to peace.
- No to NATO! – NATO does not prevent wars, it causes them, and needs to be disbanded.
- No Weapons, No Money for War! – The US and its allies must stop fueling the war.
This rally will be the second held by MAC regarding the War in Ukraine this year. The previous event was held on July 11th in protest of the NATO conference being held at the same time in Vilnius, Lithuania, where additional troop and materiel support for the war was discussed and ultimately approved. Another event for the Week of Action is being held by Peace Action of Wisconsin the day before, on September 30th at noon, on the corner of Lafayette Hill and Lincoln Memorial Dr.
The Milwaukee Anti-War Committee is a grassroots anti-war organization committed to de-militarization in Milwaukee and abroad.
