Michigan Coalition Against Genocide Continues Weekly Demonstrations at Eastern Market:
These photographs were taken on Sat. June 13, 2026 at Eastern Market where the Coalition Against Genocide gathers to highlight the ongoing war and displacement in Palestine, Lebanon, Iran and other areas throughout West Asia. In recent days, the United States administration of President Donald Trump has failed to come to grips with the military and diplomatic acumen of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the resistance forces of Hezbollah of Lebanon and the national liberation movements inside the occupied Palestinian territories. Over the last several months, there have been over 3,600 people killed in southern Lebanon. Hundreds of thousands of others have been displaced with billions of dollars in property damage incurred. In Palestine, more than 73,000 have been killed by the IDF since Oct. 2023, while over 100,000 injured and 2 million displaced. These demonstrations weekly illustrate that the people of the U.S. and the world remain concerned with the situation in West Asia. Moreover, despite the propaganda and psychological warfare waged by the corporate and government-controlled media outlets, millions continue their solidarity actions in North America, Europe and around the world.
