<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
San Jose, CA \u2013 On Friday, July 3, around two dozen people gathered for a rally and march starting at Dr. MLK Jr. Library to stand against the U.S.\u2019s endless investment and participation in war across the globe, currently including but not limited to, Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and Palestine.<\/p>\n
The crowd chanted, \u201cMoney for jobs and education, not for war and occupation\u201d and \u201cIsrael bombs, U.S. pays, how many did they kill today?\u201d<\/p>\n
Jack McCann, member of Freedom Road Socialist Organization, spoke about the U.S.\u2019s priority of profits over people over the last 250 years saying, \u201cIt has never been about freedom and liberty and all the other lullabies the ruling class sings to us, the working people of this country.\u201d<\/p>\n
McCann continued, \u201cWe have watched as they use our money to fight their wars, killing people around the world while we go hungry at home, while we struggle to pay our bills, while we fight for the scraps that fall off of their table.\u201d<\/p>\n
Donna Wallach, of San Jose Against War told the crowd, \u201cUsing our tax money, U.S.-made fighter jets, and high tech weaponry, Israeli soldiers bomb Lebanese villages in southern Lebanon, murdering civilians, and specifically target medical professionals and journalists. Many areas throughout southern Lebanon are flattened, everything destroyed, much like in Gaza.\u201d<\/p>\n
Drusie Kazanova of San Jose Against War spoke of the U.S. aggression towards Venezuela. Kazanova brought attention to President Maduro and First Lady Flores\u2019s kidnapping in January, saying, \u201cThe U.S. is currently holding hostage the kidnapped, democratically-elected president and first lady of a sovereign country.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kazanova also highlighted the resilience of the Cuban people under the 64 year embargo against Cuba, saying, \u201cCuba has the most advanced doctors and medical training in the world, they invent and manufacture their very own vaccines but are unable to administer them because the U.S. blocks imports of medical syringes.\u201d<\/p>\n
Akubundu Amazu of the All African People\u2019s Revolutionary Party, brought attention to recent repression of organizers with the Communist Party, Marxist of Kenya. Amazu noted, \u201cWe cannot let them stop us from building international solidarity. The only way we\u2019re going to defeat this international repressive machine is with international global resistance!\u201d<\/p>\n
Representatives from the League of Filipino Students (LFS) at San Jose State University and the San Jose Peace and Justice Center also spoke highlighting the U.S.\u2019s increasing efforts to develop manufacturing and AI specifically for war and genocide.<\/p>\n
After the speaker program, the crowd began the march through downtown chanting loudly, waving signs, and passing out zines.<\/p>\n
