Monday, May 4, 2020.  Remembering Kent State.  May 4th is the 50th Anniversary of the shootings at Kent State University.  Across Ohio we will be remembering, from home, May 4th, 1970, when Ohio Governor Rhodes called out the National Guard who fired into unarmed Anti-Vietnam War protesters killing 4 and wounding 9.   Daytonians for Peace asks you join in 4 minutes of silence at noon to remember Kent State and Jackson State and all the victims of our unjust wars. Please join online in the many efforts to end our current wars. We need to build a massive peace movement to stand up to Trump and the WAR Machine.

Monday, May 4, 2020, 7:00 PM.  Kent State Massacre & the Global Fight for Socialist Revolution.  An International Online Commemoration.  On May 4, 1970, National Guardsmen opened fire on unarmed antiwar protesters at Kent State University in Ohio, killing four students and wounding nine others. Within days there was further bloodshed with six dead in Augusta. GA, and two dead at Jackson State University in Mississippi, sparking a national student strike involving millions of students.  May 4, 2020 is also the anniversary of the Haymarket events of 1886. The subsequent frameup and execution of anarchist and labor activists led to the birth of May Day. May 1 is the International Workers Holiday founded to fight for the 8-hour day, improved working conditions and an end to imperialist war.  Join us May 4 in a revolutionary tribute to our martyrs, with an online, international memorial of opposition to imperialist wars, occupations, sanctions and austerity drives directed against the working class.  Facebook.
