LANSING, Mich. — Bee Accepting will host an Armed Services Day rally 12:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m. Saturday, May 16, 2026, outside the Veterans Affairs Clinic, 5656 S. Cedar St. in Lansing. The event is open to the public.
The rally will support active-duty service members and veterans and bring together neighbors who oppose the war with Iran. Bee Accepting will raise concerns about the war’s purpose and goals, while supporting service members who must carry out orders.
“We want active-duty service members and veterans to know our community stands with them,” said Cynthia of Bee Accepting. “We’re uniting people who oppose this war while still supporting our troops — and standing with people of all colors, cultures and identities who deserve equal recognition and benefits.”
Attendees are encouraged to come in peaceful solidarity and bring signs supporting service members and veterans.
