46] – Beyond the Classroom: U of MD, 1104 South Campus Commons, Building 1, WDC, will show a classic documentary on Mon., Jan. 26 at 7 PM. "A Force More Powerful" is a documentary on one of the 20th century’s most important and least-known stories – how nonviolent power overcame oppression and authoritarian rule. In South Africa in 1907, Mohandas Gandhi led Indian immigrant in a nonviolent fight for rights denied them by white rulers. The power that Gandhi pioneered has been used by underdogs on every continent and in every decade of the 20th century to fight for their rights and freedom. In the 1960s, Gandhi’s nonviolent weapons were taken up by Black college students in Nashville, Tennessee. Disciplined and strictly nonviolent, they successfully desegregated Nashville’s downtown lunch counters in five months, becoming a model for the entire Civil Rights Movement. In India in the 1930s, after Gandhi had returned from South Africa, he and his followers adopted a strategy of refusing to cooperate with British rule. Through civil disobedience and boycotts, they successfully loosened their oppressors’ grip on power and set India on the path to freedom. In 1985, a young South African named Mikhuseli Jack led a movement against the legalized discrimination known as Apartheid. Their campaign of nonviolent mass action, most notably a devastating consumer boycott in the Eastern Cape Province, awakened whites to black grievances and fatally weakened business support for Apartheid. Reviewing a century often called the most violent in history, this documentary tells the story of millions of people who chose to battle the forces of brutality with nonviolent weapons – and won. See https://www.facebook.com/events/781801075235696/?ref=6&ref_notif_type=plan_user_invited.

Since that time, the Chagossians have been fighting for their right to return home; meanwhile both governments abdicate responsibility for their crimes. This film features interviews with first-generation Chagossians recounting the initial forced-relocation and the subsequent years they have spent fighting for justice.

53] – Walking outside her home to get ready to go to work, a Good Samaritan found Eva, an innocent, three-month-old puppy, lying on the sidewalk. Eva was kicking only her hind legs and crying-out in agonizing pain. It was immediately evident that something was terribly wrong with Eva's front legs. She was unable to walk, or even lift her head from the ground. The bottom of her tiny chin was also scraped, from trying to propel herself towards help using only her back feet. Both of her legs appeared to be broken. Although very scared, Eva was trusting enough to allow her rescuer to pick her up and bring her to the Maryland SPCA for help.
Eva was rushed to our exam room where vet staff immediately took action to make her more comfortable as her injuries were assessed. X-rays confirmed that both of Eva's front legs were badly fractured and, after consulting with a local orthopedic specialist, determined that she will need two extensive surgeries to mend her bones.
The cost to provide the medical and life-changing surgeries Eva needs to walk pain-free is $4,500. This is a timely matter and we need your help TODAY to raise these funds. Please help us and support Eva and her urgent medical needs. The MD SPCA receives no operating funding from the government or the ASPCA. We are able to help pets like Eva because of community support and donations to our KB Fund, a 100% donor-funded program for emergency medical care. To donate, go to https://www.kintera.org/AutoGen/Simple/Donor.asp?ievent=1077482&en=8rIFJRMvE7LOL1MyF6JLLXMIIiKIKZOKKiKTI2NIJrI5G.

"One is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total inability of violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
