On June 29, while the North Atlantic Treaty Organization met in Madrid, a “No to NATO” demonstration gathered and rallied in Detroit at the busy Nine Mile and Woodward intersection. The Michigan Peace Council initiative called on anti-imperialists to grow the movement against the U.S. provocative expansion of NATO and weapons deluge to fuel the anti-Russia war in Ukraine.
Organizations speaking at the rally in the grassy roadway median included the Michigan Peace Council, Young Communist League, Green Party, Struggle-La Lucha newspaper, League of Revolutionaries for a New America, Communist Workers League and Party for Socialism and Liberation, among others. Car horns were honked by supporters, with one driver stopped at a red light even donating cash. More united anti-imperialist actions are planned.
