FRSO General Meeting: Tell Your Tale Little Bird Film Screening
2025-11-23 13:00 - 15:00 | San Jose Peace and Justice Center, 48 S 7th St, San Jose
ALL INVITED – Please join us Sunday, November 23rd at 1PM at the San Jose Peace and Justice Center as we show the film “Tell your Tale, Little Bird” featuring the interviews of 7 Palestinian women discussing their role in the resistance!
Documentary, 1h 30m
Seven militant women (fedaiyat) of the revolutionary generation tell the story of the Palestinian resistance through accounts of their own lives.
Cut from 35 hours of interviews with leaders of the armed struggle, the film presents an image of confident, unapologetic and proud feminine identity. Together, the memories of these women narrate the dream of a generation, yet unrealized.
Tell Your Tale, Little Bird is a testament to the power of remembrance, positioning memory as an essential element of feminist struggle. The film reminds us that this oral tradition may carry recollection of past resistance, but it is in the very practice of retelling women’s stories that the political act has persisted.
Directed by: Arab Loutfi
Subjects: Leila Khaled, Therese Halasa, Aisha Odeh, Rashida Obeida, Rasmea Odeh, Widad Qamari, Amina Dahbour

Human Rights Day 2025 Rally and March
2025-12-14 15:00 - 17:00 | Federal Building, Corner of 1st St and San Carlos St, San Jose
Join us on Sunday, December 14th as we commemorate Human Rights Day with a Rally and March!

Hands off Venezuela!
San Jose Demands Ethical Investment!
Free Palestine!
📍 Meet at Federal Building on the corner of 1st St and San Carlos St
⏰ 3pm Rally then March
The @antiwaractionnetwork has also put out a call for a week of action for Human Rights Day. Since the proclamation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 7 decades ago human rights and fundamental freedoms are far from universally respected. It’s time to unite and demand the city of San Jose pass an ethical investment policy!
An ethical investment policy would bar investments into companies which consistently and directly facilitate human rights violations, enable state violence and repression, war and occupation. This would include industries of mass incarceration, detention and prisons, military and weapons industries, and companies that facilitate violations of international law and human rights.

The Revolution Will Not Be Televised (2003) Film Screening
2026-01-29 19:00 - 21:00 | San Jose Peace and Justice Center, 48 S 7th St, San Jose
San Jose Against War will be watching The Revolution Will not be Televised, a 2003 film focusing on events in Venezuela leading up to and during the April 2002 coup d’état attempt, which saw President Hugo Chávez removed from office for two days.
While the makers of this film are scrupulous in avoiding attributing the origins of the coup against the popular and progressive, democratically elected, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez and his constitutional government, this contemporary film footage makes it abundantly clear that the imperialist government and state agencies of the United States of America are behind this illegal and anti-democratic coup.
It is particularly important and timely to relive and remember this anti Chávez coup, at the present moment in early 2019, as the US is again attempting to remove the democratically elected president, and close comrade of Chavez, Nicholas Maduro.
There is no crime that capital will not commit to secure a high profit margin, and Venezuelan proven oil reserves are the largest on Earth. Larger even than Saidi Arabia’s, and they are in Uncle Sam’s back Yard.
The arrogant Monroe doctrine, that the American hemisphere ‘belongs’ to the US imperialists is the living creed of the billionaire parasites who grow fat by ensuring the poverty of the masses of the Latin American people.
They are aided and abetted by local elites throughout Latin America and accross the world. This documentary footage is a primary source that reveals the truth of their shady and conspiratorial dealings to cheat humanity of our rights – a share of the wealth that our labour generates, and the beautiful and harmonious society it could bring to the benefit of all.
The Venezuelan people deliver a mighty popular lesson that is recorded live in this film: that the people when organised and united hold real power, but require courageous and revolutionary leadership. This film is a tribute to the Venezuelan masses, and to Hugo Chávez! It is compelling viewing. Watch it and share. Be inspired to fight for a better world.
“The people, united, will never be defeated!”

San Jose City Council - PACK THE ROOM - Demand Ethical Investment!
2026-02-19 13:30 - 15:30 | San Jose City Council Chambers, 200 E Santa Clara St, San Jose
ACTION ALERT – GIVE PUBLIC COMMENT TO DEMAND ETHICAL INVESTMENT!
On Thursday February 19, the San Jose City Council’s Public Safety, Finance and Strategic Support (PSFSS) Committee will be holding their annual review of the City’s investment policy. Join us to give public comment demanding that the City pass an ethical investment policy, banning investments in corporations that work with ICE, Israel, and the prison industrial complex.
The City currently has over $50 million invested in corporations with direct ties to Israel’s genocide in Palestine. Some of these corporations also directly contract with ICE, enabling ICE’s terrorism against our immigrant neighbors.
We must demand ethical investment now! No money for genocide, ICE, prisons, or any other human rights abuses!
Talking points and signs will be provided. In-person only.

Fight for a Free Palestine RALLY & MARCH
2026-02-19 18:00 - 20:00 | St. James Park, N 2nd & E St. James
As part of the @antiwaractionnetwork Week of Action for Palestine (Feb 16-22) join us for a rally and march as we continue the fight for Palestine until liberation!
⏰ Friday, Feb 20 @ 6pm
📍 St. James Park, corner of 1st St & E St. John St
As phase two of the ceasefire deal begins, Palestinians have yet to see a semblance of peace or justice. Israel has violated the truce daily, conducting regular demolitions and incursions in residential neighborhoods, firing active rounds at civilians and murdering over 470 Palestinians. We have a moral imperative to fight back and we must spring into action!

Hands Off Cuba, Venezuela & Iran Protest
2026-03-03 18:00 - 20:00 | Dr. MLK, Jr Library
Join us to demand President Trump end the stranglehold on oil and let Cuba live! Hands off Venezuela and Hands off Iran!
⏰ Tuesday, March 3rd, 6PM
📍 MLK Library, corner of E San Fernando & S 4th St, San Jose
The people of Cuba are facing cuts to electricity with hospitals and schools shutting down, airplanes are grounded, and city and government services and vehicles halted. For many years now, Cuba has relied on Venezuelan oil that the Trump Administration is now controlling. Cuba also depends on Mexican oil deliveries that Trump forced to stop by threatening tariffs.
Acting President Delcy Rodriguez of Venezuela is being forced into oil and financial deals after the U.S. military attack that killed over 90 Venezuelans and Cubans. This violent attack turned into a kidnapping, violating Venezuela’s sovereignty. It is outrageous! Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio are threatening an even bigger U.S. attack unless President Delcy Rodriguez negotiates oil and finance deals: military extortion.
