Peace Fresno

11/09/2026

Peace Fresno is saddened to learn of the passing of Mike Rhodes, and we send love to Pam and the rest of his wonderful family. Mike's life-long work for the community, country, and world would fill an entire book. Volumes, actually. And the writer of his life certainly has their work cut out for them. So here is just one of Mike's many great works: He was instrumental in the founding of Peace Fresno shortly after 9/11, 2001. He encouraged folks to attend strategy meetings at the Fresno Center for Nonviolence to address the hatred and violence against the local Muslim community and to plan for opposing the upcoming U.S. war. That ad hoc committee became Peace Fresno. As editor of the Community Alliance newspaper, Mike often allowed us to insert flyers after the paper had been printed, announcing last-minute emergency protests. As a life-long activist with a great deal of experience, Mike gave us much needed advice, which we appreciate to this day. He will be greatly missed.
A celebration of Mike's life and legacy will be held Friday, November 27, 3:00 - 5:00pm at the Big Red Church, 2131 N. Van Ness Blvd. The family would appreciate an RSVP (see flyer) in order to arrange for accommodations.

Gaza is flooding! Where is your humanity?!
The genocidal attackers, Israel’s IOF, has bombed and displaced 2 million people and closed all border crossings, denying entry of necessities, including the fuel needed to run infrastructure pumps & generators to prevent flooding!

The 2028 lesson is not to find the most “electable,” most “moderate,” or most anti-MAGA Democrat. It’s to nominate one who is boldly and proudly against corporate money.

Alright team, it's time to bring it on home! Here are your ELECTION DAY marching orders:

📍Voting in-person?

Double check your polling location, grab your ID if your state requires one, and go! And we know you’ve heard it a million times before, but if you’re still in line when the polls close, STAY IN LINE. You have the right to vote. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise, and don’t leave.

⚠️ Any questions about voting or issues at the polls?

Call the Election Protection Hotline at 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683). Save the number in your phone before you head out!

💌 Already mailed your ballot?

Track it! Most states let you confirm that your ballot was received and counted. If there’s a problem, you may still be able to fix it.

‼️ Still holding onto your mail ballot?

What are you doing?!?! Drop it off ASAP! It’s too late to mail it, so take it to an official drop box or your local election office before the polls close.

⏰️ Think you can’t vote because you missed the registration deadline?

Not necessarily! Some states offer same-day voter registration, right at the polls.
