– There is usually a silent vigil on Fridays, from 5 to 6 PM, sponsored by
Homewood Friends Meeting, outside the Homewood Friends Meetinghouse, 3107 N.
Charles St. The next scheduled vigil is on June 2. Black Lives
Matter.
27] -- The Hiroshima-Nagasaki Commemoration Committee and
Chesapeake Physicians for Social Responsibility are continuing the FILM &
SOCIAL CONSCIOUSNESS DVD SERIES. The DVDs will be shown at Homewood
Friends Meetinghouse, 3107 N. Charles St., Baltimore 21218, usually on the
First Friday. After the 5 PM Black Lives Matter vigil, there will be a
potluck dinner. At 7:15 PM, on June 2, a DVD of NO GOD, NO MASTER will be shown
with a discussion to follow. There is no charge, and refreshments will be
available.
NO GOD, NO MASTER is a 2012 USA independent crime
suspense thriller directed, written, and produced by Terry Green. The film
stars David Strathairn, Ray Wise, Sam Witwer, Alessandro
Mario and Edoardo Ballerini. It was filmed in Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. The story includes references to the 1914 Ludlow
Massacre as well as depictions of the Sacco and Vanzetti trial
and the 1920 Wall Street bombing. When a series of package bombs
show up on the doorsteps of prominent politicians and businessmen in the summer
of 1919, U.S. Bureau of Investigation Agent William
Flynn (Strathairn) is assigned the task of finding those responsible. He
becomes immersed in an investigation that uncovers an anarchist plot.
Based on true events of the 1920s, the film sets the stage for a
timely drama with resoundingly similar parallels to the contemporary war
on terrorism and the role government plays to defeat it. Call 410-323-1607
or email mobuszewski [at] verizon.net for further information.

First-Friday Film @ the Peace Center of Delaware County, 1001 Old Sproul Rd.,
Springfield, PA to see "A TESTAMENT OF YOUTH. " Directed by
James Kent, this is searing journey from youthful hopes shattered by war, and
dreams pushed to the edge of despair and back again. Based on the World
War I memoir, “Testament of Youth,” by Vera Brittain, which became a bestseller
in 1933 and a cornerstone of the post-war pacifist movement
The screening is co-sponsored by the Brandywine Peace

Alexander Reid Ross at The Potter's House, 1658 Columbia Rd. NW, WDC, on Fri.,
June 2 from 7 to 9 PM. Connect at https://www.facebook.com/events/268571920279944/.
As the election of Donald Trump shows, fascism in all its white nationalist and
“alt-right” permutations is alive and well in the United States. A terrifying
tour of the history and influence of the forces that helped bring the 45th
president to power, “Against the Fascist Creep” maps the connections and names
the names. It traces today’s often-disguised forms of rightwing extremism
through the decades and across the globe to show how infiltration is a
conscious and clandestine program for neofascist groups that seek to co-opt and
undermine both the mainstream and the new social movements of the left. Ross is
a lecturer at Portland State University, freelance journalist, and the editor
of “Grabbing Back: Essays Against the Global Land Grab.”

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
historic window of opportunity. With momentum already building in favor
of Zero, a major show of support from people around the world could tip the
balance. When it comes to nuclear weapons, one is one too many.

“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
