42] – Join the National Campaign for Nonviolent Resistance in an
Inaugural Action on January 20, 2017. According to Forbes Magazine, Nov.
9, 2016, “President Trump Is Likely To Boost U.S. Military Spending By $500
Billion To $1 Trillion.” So we need a strong presence in D.C. for the
inauguration to call for an end to all warfare, including drone warfare. NCNR
is organizing an action of nonviolent civil resistance on the day of the
inauguration, Friday, January 20. Some of us will be risking arrest, and
we need others there in support and solidarity. We will meet in the lower
level food court at Union Station at 10 AM on the day of the inauguration for
our final planning meeting. We will have a final planning meeting knowing
we have to keep things fluid because there is no certainty as to what will
happen that day.
The idea will be to process as near as possible to a checkpoint
and make us visible to the crowds. Then perhaps we can do a die-in.
We will have model drones, coffins, signs, banners, and leaflets to get our
message across. If you have ideas on messaging, please share over
email. Again, this will be a very fluid experience, and we will come
together and make decisions as we go along. Contact Max at 410-323-1607 or
mobuszewski at Verizon dot net.

53] – There
are Healing Our Country Post-Election Workshops on Sat., Jan. 21 and Sun., Jan.
22 on nonviolent communication. For many people the
recent elections and the events since the election have been very challenging
and worrisome. Some of us have serious negative judgments (even
"enemy images") of people supporting our President-elect and the
President-elect's actions and statements. It may be hard to connect
with and understand people who appear to think so differently. Even, or
perhaps especially, when they are members of our own family, work-place or
community. And yet we are all living in the same country and have to
understand each other, even if we don't fully agree with each other. And
it is best when we can use those understandings as a basis for finding creative
solutions that address the fundamental needs of all.
Both workshops are at the
Greenbelt Community Center, 15 Crescent Road. Greenbelt. Each one is designed
to stand alone effectively. Energy for Building a World of Compassion is
on Sat., Jan. 21 from 10 AM to 4:30 PM. Connecting Across Differences -
Post Election is on Sun., Jan. 22 from 10 AM to 4:30 PM. Sponsors
include Maryland United for Peace and Justice. The workshops are offered free,
but donations to defray expenses will be appreciated. Volunteers are
needed to come early and help with set-up logistics. Contact Jane Connor
McMahon at 202-684-5974 or janemconnor@gmail.com.

is a certified life coach. Ian H. Solomon J.D. is the CEO of SolomonGlobal.

A growing group of leaders around the world is calling for the elimination of
nuclear weapons and a majority of the global public agrees. This is an
