Thawj Tswj Hwm Trump tau thov Pentagon los npaj ib qho kev ua tub rog hauv Washington DC rau hnub qub qub, Kaum Ib Hlis 11. Democrats muaj decried tus nqi thiab authoritarian implication, thiab antiwar pawg npaj ib countermarch. Kuv hais rau Margaret Paj, kws kho mob, Green Activist, thiab co-founder ntawm lub zog xov xwm lub vas sab Lub Nruab Nruab Nruab Nruab Nruab Nrab, uas yog ntawm cov cov koom haum tiv thaiv kev sib ntaus.

Ann Garrison: Margaret, ua li cas cov lus cog tseg no muaj ib lub npe tsis tau, thiab koj tuaj yeem qhia rau peb txog cov koomhaum pab peb li cas?

Margaret paj: Yog li ntawd, lub koomhaum no tsuas yog hu rau "No Trump Military Parade." Peb lub hom phiaj yog kom tau ntau tus neeg tau suam npe tuaj ntawm Trump xav yuam kev. Yog tias tsis tshwm sim, peb cia siab tias peb tuaj yeem npaj kom muaj ntau tus neeg tuaj rau hauv Washington DC kom tawm tsam nws dua Trump tuaj yeem tsim tsa los txhawb nws.

Raws li deb li cov coalition mus, thiab qhov no yog tseem hluas, peb pom tias ntau tus organisations uas nrov Resistance ua haujlwm nrog tau cov lus teb rau cov tub rog parade. COV LUS NUG tau hu xov tooj rau neeg tuaj koom. Veterans for Peace thiab ib co ntawm lawv cov koom haum sib koom tes tau tsim ib cov qub tub rog thiab muaj kev thaj yeeb nyab xeeb thaum lub caij ua kev lom zem, nrog rau cov lus hais rau Recistice Day, uas yog hnub Veterans Hnub pib. Interestingly, qhov no yog qhov tseem ceeb xyoo ntawm thawj Hnub Ib Hnub, Hnub kawg ntawm Kev Tsov Rog Thoob Ntiaj Teb.

World Beyond War Nws kuj tau kom cov neeg los kos npe tawm tsam rau qhov kev tawm tsam, yog li peb xav hais tias, "Vim li cas peb thiaj li tsis coj tag nrho cov neeg no ua ke thiab ua qhov kev tawm tsam loj ntawm kev ua tub rog nyob rau hauv tsev thiab txawv teb chaws?" Peb tau muaj peb qhov kev tawm dag zog hu tuaj rau lub lim tiam dhau los thiab pom tias muaj ntau lub zog thiab ntau qhov kev sib koom ua ke hauv peb cov lus qhia tawm tsam Asmeskas kev tsis muaj zog, kev ua tub rog, thiab kev tsis txaus siab rau pej xeem kev xav tau. Cov neeg nyob tom qab no yog txhua pab pawg uas tawm tsam rau kev koom tes los ntawm kev ua tsov ua rog duopoly, thiab cov uas tau ua haujlwm los kho kom muaj kev thaj yeeb nyab xeeb hauv Tebchaws Meskas.

AG: Ib txhia ntawm cov neeg uas paub txog kev thaj yeeb nyab xeeb yuav tsis muaj kev ntseeg hais tias lub Peb Hlis Ntuj no yog qhov tshwm sim rau Trump, tsis yog kev tsov kev rog thiab kev siv riam phom uas ua rau kom tsis muaj teeb meem leej twg nyob hauv lub Tsev Dawb. Koj qhov lus teb yog dab tsi?

MF: Tam sim no tus thawj coj Trump yog nyob rau hauv chaw ua hauj lwm, qhov no yog kev txhawj xeeb vim hais tias yog li cas lub Democratic Party pawg thiab tog nws tus kheej ua thaum Republicans nyob rau hauv lub hwj chim. Lawv siv cov teeb meem no rau lawv tus kheej tas.

Nws yog qhov nthuav, thiab kuv paub tias koj paub qhov no, hais tias cov poj niam lub Peb Hlis Ntuj tsis yog lub peb hlis ntuj tawm tsam kev ua tub rog hauv Teb Chaws Asmeskas. Ntawm qhov kev sib tw ua kev ywj pheej ntawm cov neeg ywj pheej nyob rau xyoo no, kuv tsis tau pom muaj leej twg uas muaj zog tiv thaiv lub hauv paus loj. Li ntawd, yog ib qho tseem ceeb hais tias qee cov neeg ywj pheej ntawm cov neeg ywj pheej no yuav sim ua haujlwm rau qhov kev siv zog thiab siv nws rau lawv lub hom phiaj, tiam sis tag nrho cov neeg thiab tej pawg neeg tsa qhov no tawm tsam cov neeg ua hauj lwm hauv kev sib tsoo.

Kuv xav tias nws yog ib qho tseem ceeb rau peb los ua kom meej tias Teb Chaws Asmeskas muaj keeb kwm txog kev ua tub rog, thiab hais tias nws tau nce siab nyob hauv cov thawj tswj hwm tsis ntev los no. Obama tau phem tshaj Bush. Trump sim tawm Obama. Nws tsis yog ib qho teeb meem ntawm leej twg nyob hauv Tsev Dawb lossis tog twg muaj feem ntau hauv Congress. Nws yog tias Tebchaws Meskas yog lub tebchaws loj tshaj plaws nyob rau hauv lub ntiaj teb, thiab peb muaj lub zog ua tub rog uas xav kom pub noj tas li. Yog li ntawd, txawm tias qee cov neeg ywj pheej koom nrog, lawv yuav ntxiv cov najnpawb, tiamsis cia siab tias yuav tsis siv cov lus ntawd.

AG: Ib tug poj niam lub Peb Hlis nyob rau Pentagon, uas tsis yog qhov tshwm sim rau Trump tab sis kev ua tsov ua rog thiab militarism, yog teem rau Lub Kaum Hli 20-21, 51st hnub tseem ceeb ntawm 1967 Lub Peb Hlis nyob rau Pentagon tau tsim los ntawm National Mobilization kom xaus rau Vietnam War. Koj puas tuaj yeem koom nrog los yog txhawb nqa txoj kev mus zoo li lub peb hlis ntuj?

MF: Peb zoo siab txog cov poj niam lub Peb Hlis nyob rau hauv Pentagon. Kuv xav tias, ib yam li koj, kuv tsis tau koom nrog cov poj niam yav dhau los vim tias lawv tau txhim kho los ntawm cov neeg uas yog ib feem ntawm lub hwj chim qauv. Nws tau nthuav kom pom dab tsi yog yuav mus nrog vim tias cov tib neeg ntawm cov qib grassroots tsis zoo li yuav tsum zoo rau hauv board nrog cov neeg uas tau ua cov marches. Tab sis, dua li, muaj tsis muaj zog tiv thaiv antimilitarism tiv thaiv cov marches. Yog li ntawd, peb zoo siab heev thaum Cindy Sheehan tshaj tawm nws cov poj niam lub Peb Hlis rau ntawm Pentagon. Ua rau kuv xav tias, "Wow, tam sim no ntawm no tus poj niam lub Peb Hlis Ntuj kuv mam li xav tias koom hauv," Nruab Nruab Nruab Nruab Nruag yog ib qho ntawm cov koom haum thaum ntxov sau npe rau qhov ntawd. Peb twb tau txhawb nws ntawm peb lub vev xaib, thiab kuv yuav nyob ntawd, thiab peb yuav txhawb nws li txhua txoj kev peb ua tau.

AG: Yog tias Trump's parade mus rau pem hauv ntej, yuav tsis muaj kev poob siab yog ib qho tseem ceeb npaum li cas ntawm thoob ntiaj teb xov xwm kev pab them nqi, thiab cov optics yuav tsis zoo rau ntau ntau lub ntiaj teb yog tias tsis pom pom. Koj puas yuav ua haujlwm rau hauv kev tawm tswv yim nrog qhov ntawd?

MF: Uas yog ib yam ntawm cov ntsiab lus tseem ceeb uas peb tau li ntawd yuam kom muaj kev ncig ntawm Trump cov tub rog ua yeeb yam. Cov neeg nyob ib ncig ntawm lub ntiaj teb no thov peb, "Qhov kev tawm tsam nyob qhov twg hauv Tebchaws Meskas yog nyob qhov twg? Koj cov menyuam yog cov neeg thab plaub, yog vim li cas koj thiaj tsis ua dab tsi txog qhov koj lub tebchaws tabtom ua txhua yam thoob plaws ntiajteb? "Yog li muaj lub zog ntawm cov tub rog no-qhov kev nthuav dav thiab kev ua kom muaj kev thaj yeeb yog qhov zoo rau peb hauv Tebchaws Meskas los qhia txog lub ntiaj teb uas muaj kev tawmtsam rau Asmeskas kev ntseeg thiab kev ua tsov rog ntawm kev ua phem, nrog rau cov kev pabcuam neeg pabcuam uas muaj kev tiv thaiv ntau yam txhawb nqa. Thiab, ntxiv rau muaj kev tawm tsam nyob rau hauv Washington DC, peb tabtom tawm mus rau peb pawg neeg thoob ntiaj teb thoob ntiaj teb thiab thov kom lawv tuav cov haujlwm rau hnub ntawd thiab. Thiab ntawm chav kawm muaj ntau ntawm cov xov xwm thoob ntiaj teb hauv DC, thiab thaum peb ua yeeb yam rau ntau yam teeb meem, peb yuav tau txais kev pab ntau dua los ntawm cov xov xwm thoob ntiaj teb tshaj li qhov tawm hauv Tebchaws Meskas. Yog li ntawd peb yuav twv yuav raug hu kom cev mus rau lawv.

AG: Koj puas xav tias yuav muaj kev sib cav sib ceg kom tau qhov twg nyob ze rau ntawm Pentagon lub rooj sib txoos, thiab koj puas pom tias qhov no yuav yog qhov tsis txaus ntshai?

MF: Qhov txiaj ntsim ntawm kev koom tes nrog cov koom haum uas muaj raws li hauv Washington DC yog tias lawv tuaj yeem thov rau cov ntawv pom zoo sai li sai tau, thiab cov ntawv tso cai raug muab tso rau thawj zaug tuaj, ua ntej tshaj plaws rau qhov ntawd. Tom qab Thawj Tswj Hwm Trump tau hais tawm tias nws yuav muaj kev ua tub rog rau Veterans Day, cov koom haum uas peb ua hauj lwm nrog sai sai rau cov ntawv pom zoo hauv ntau qhov chaw li lawv xav tau txog qhov chaw xws li lub rooj sib txoos yuav tshwm sim. Yog li ntawd, peb yuav muaj kev tso cai kom nyob ze rau lub rooj sib txoos, thiab peb txawm thov rau lawv ua ntej ib pab pawg uas tuaj yeem pab txhawb nws.

Raws li seb nws puas yuav phom sij: tub ceev xwm hauv DC yog siv ncaj qha rau kev tawm tsam, thiab lawv feem ntau lawv to taub peb qhov kev pauv thawj Txoj Cai rau kev ywj pheej ntawm kev nthuav qhia. Qhov no tsis yog qhov xwm txheej; tus tub ceev xwm tau nruj heev heev nyob hauv Trump lub rooj qhib kev tsim khoom, tab sis kuv xav tias lawv yuav khuv xim qhov ntawd. Cov pej xeem muaj ntau yam nrog peb, thiab ntau tus neeg nyob rau hauv cov tub rog tawm tsam tag nrho cov kev nthuav qhia ntawm militarization, no pov tseg ntawm cov nyiaj thiab lub sij hawm, thiab. Yog tias muaj cov neeg coob coob, qhov ntawd yog kev tiv thaiv. Cov tub ceev xwm yuav tsis tshua muaj kev cobphum yog tias muaj ntau tus neeg nyob ib puag ncig.

AG: Kev sib haum xeeb zog tab sis tag nrho faded los ntawm saib thaum lub sij hawm Obama lub yim xyoo hauv chaw ua hauj lwm, txawm tias Teb Chaws Asmeskas Asmeskas nyob rau Libya thiab Syria, nce ntawm US War hauv Afghanistan, thiab kev nthuav dav ntawm Teb Chaws Asmeskas hauv paus thiab militarism thoob plaws hauv teb chaws As Mes Lis Kas. Yog tias txoj kev thaj yeeb nyab xeeb tshwm sim hauv Trump, koj puas xav tias nws yuav muaj sia nyob ntawm lwm qhov kev xaiv tsa ntawm tus thawj tswj hwm Democratic Party?

MF: Nws tsis yooj yim pom cov antiwar zog tab sis ploj thaum Obama yog tus thawj tswj hwm. Tau kawg peb tawm muaj protesting lawm, thiab thaum peb pab npaj cov hauj lwm ntawm Freedom Plaza hauv 2011, nws muaj ib qho kev tiv thaiv heev antiwar tivthaiv. Nws yog tu siab rau pom cov neeg tawm tsam antiwar kom tsis meej pem los ntawm kev ywj pheej tus thawj tswj hwm uas yog li ib tug tub rog. Yog li ntawd, peb tsuas yog ua haujlwm ua kom rov tuaj yeem ua haujlwm thiab txhawb kom muaj kev tiv thaiv ntawm kev sib txeeb ntawm no, thiab sim ua kom pom tseeb tias qhov no mus rau cov nom tswv ob tog, uas ob tog cov neeg ncaj ncees thiab cov Republicans tau txais nyiaj txiag thiab lobbied los ntawm cov kws ua tsov rog thiab tag nrho lwm cov ntsiab lus ntawm cov tub rog . 2018 cov tub rog nyiaj siv yog $ 700 billion, thiab nws tsuas yog loj hlob tuaj. Nws tam sim no noj 57% ntawm peb cov kev siv nyiaj tshwj xeeb, tawm hauv 43% rau kev kawm ntawv, kev thauj mus los, vaj tse, thiab tag nrho peb cov tib neeg cov kev xav tau.

Peb yuav tsum ua kom pom tseeb tias qhov no ua rau peb tsis muaj kev ruaj ntseg zoo li lub teb chaws uas tsim muaj kev ntxhov siab rau peb thoob ntiaj teb thiab cais peb hauv lub ntiaj teb. Lwm lub tebchaws yog qhov kawg tau txais kev txhawb zog kom sawv thiab hais tias lawv tsis xav kom raug thab plaub lossis tswj hwm los ntawm peb lawm. Yog li no qhov no ua rau txhua tus tib neeg nyob hauv Tebchaws Meskas, nrog rau cov neeg ntawm kev txom nyem thiab kev raug mob thiab kev txom nyem los ntawm kev tsov rog hauv Asmeskas. Tsis muaj leej twg nyob hauv chaw ua haujlwm, peb yuav tsum thawb Tebchaws Asmeskas kom thim tau peb cov tub rog nyob rau txawv teb chaws, kaw peb 800 lossis ntau qhov chaw ua tub rog, thiab hloov peb cov kev pabcuam rau cov tib neeg xav tau nyob hauv tsev thiab kev them nuj nqi rau txhua qhov kev puas tsuaj ua nyob thoob qab ntuj.

AG: Cov neeg tau mloog puas tuaj yeem nrhiav cov lus qhia ntxiv thiab / lossis sau npe tuaj koom lossis koom nrog npaj rau lub Xya hli 11 countermarch?

MF: Peb nyuam qhuav tau txais ib lub website li: Tsis Muaj Cov Tub Rog Tsav Tsheb.
