End the ICE Raids
Support the Protests
UNAC supports the spontaneous protests by the Los Angeles communities against the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids on workplaces and shopping sites. These raids have caused fear and anger in the Chicano and Mexicano communities but on June 6 the community responded in a massive way. They fought back. Slogans of “ICE out of LA!” and “When Chicanos are under attack we will stand up and fight back!” were heard. [read more]

Urgent Call for a Week of Coordinated Protests
November 15 to 23.
No War on Venezuela!
No Troops on our Streets!
Calling all antiwar, peace and justice, union and solidarity activists!
An emergency network is calling for local actions, large and small, during the week of November 15 – 23.
Also actions within 24 hours of any major U.S. escalation.

Organize rallies, street meeting, vigils, speak-outs, teach-ins, sign holding at busy intersections, banner drops, protests at weapons manufacturers or Federal Buildings and events where pro-war politicians show up.
The US military is hurrying its aircraft carrier battle group, with destroyers, jet warplanes and nuclear submarines to the shores of Venezuela, while threatening Colombia and massing U.S. troops in Puerto Rico and throughout the Caribbean.
Secretary of State Marco Rubio is calling for the military overthrow of President Maduro in Venezuela and the replacement of President Petro in Colombia. This is a build-up to another endless U.S. war – a war to militarize the whole Western Hemisphere. Relentless U.S. funded war on Palestine and throughout western Asia continues unabated.
Meanwhile the use of Federal troops and thousands of ICE agents in raids and mass arrests, along with massive increases in health costs and cuts to government services, are an attack on all working people in the U.S.
Using the false claim that it is combating drug trafficking, U.S. missiles have murdered crews of small boats, in the Caribbean and in the Pacific. The U.S. has killed dozens, so far from 4 countries, in secrecy, without evidence or due process of law.
At the same time, they are sending their troops and ICE agents to our cities, with the false claim that they are fighting crime. They allege there is no money for SNAP benefits or healthcare benefits while the rich are getting yet another tax cut.
This move towards all-out war has nothing to do with drug trafficking. Venezuela has the greatest known oil reserves in the world - five times the U.S. oil reserves. The Venezuelan government refuses to be dominated by the U.S. It is determined to use its own oil, gas, coal, diamond and gold resources for healthcare, housing and education for the people of Venezuela, not for U.S. billionaires. The US attacks and open threats of regime change in Venezuela and Colombia are a blatant violation of international law.
It is time to take to the streets and resist these U.S. government and corporate attacks on people in Venezuela, Colombia, all Latin America and the Caribbean, while militarizing and repressing the people of the U.S.
Let’s join together, November 15 - 23, and build actions in cities, towns and campuses throughout the country. Let the war makers know that we are opposed to war on people anywhere in our Americas. Build a Zone of Peace across our hemisphere.
We will continue to mobilize in local and regional actions in December, focusing on the December 17thAnniversary of the death of Simon Bolivar, “The Great Emancipator”, against colonial domination in Latin America.
RESIST U.S. Wars!

The Gaza "Ceasefire"
Resist Zionist Terror
The United National Antiwar Coalition (UNAC) salutes the people of Gaza and the Palestinian resistance. They have survived the attempted genocide. It is not over, but the 1st stage of the agreement has given some relief to the people of Gaza and has freed some of the Palestinian hostages that Israel was holding in its prisons. However, Israel has no intention of ending their genocideal policy towards the Palestinians and has violated the ceasefire agreement daily. As the statement by the three leading Palestinian resistance organizations makes clear, the resistance will continue till all of Palestine is free. [read more]
The Climate Costs of the US Military Machine
1. The Department of Defense budget comprises more than half of all federal discretionary spending every year. Just 11% of the military budget could fund renewable energy for every US home.
2. A new report from the Institute for Policy Studies calculates that the cost of U.S. militarization in the last 20 years is a staggering $21 trillion, (this does not included the uncountable and unaudited money sent to Ukraine). About half of the budget goes to military contractors. Estimates calculate the total cost of shifting to 100% renewable energy over 10 years would be a fraction of this - $4.5 trillion.
3. The US military is exempt from reporting on greenhouse emissions even though it is the largest single source of US environmental pollution IN THE WORLD. [read the full list here]

No to U.S. War Threats Against China
UNAC Statement on China
The Biden administration is intensifying its aggression against China. The Pentagon’s new Pacific Deterrence Initiative includes increasing the U.S. military’s encirclement of China and deploying nuclear missiles that had previously been banned by the U.S.-signed Intermediate Range Nuclear Forces Treaty.
Recently, President Biden met with leaders of Japan, India and Australia – what has become known as the “Quad,” a military and economic alliance against China. The Pentagon is calling for its annual Pacific budget to be doubled over last year’s $multi billion allocation. Read More
Sanction Kill
UNAC is a founding member of the Sanctions Kill Coalition. Unilateral economic sanctions is the perfered way that the US has sought regime change recently in countries that will not follow the dictates of Washington and Wall Street. Crippling sanctions have been imposed on 39 countries and have been even increased during the COVID-19 pandemic.
