is looking for an apartment to rent. Let me know if you have any leads.
Contact Max at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net.
53] – It is a violation of U.S. law
for us to attack a country that has not attacked us, as only Congress can
declare war. The Trump administration is nevertheless beating the war drums for
war against Iran and North Korea. The Mueller investigation is tightening the
vise, and could cause Trump to attack those countries in order to divert
attention from Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Such a military strike would demand an immediate and unequivocal response from
us to show that we will not tolerate his abuse of power.
Let's
mobilize to show that we the people will
not tolerate another military adventure, which would be bound to have profound
negative consequences. If a preemptive military strike against Iran or
North Korea takes place, then meet outside the War Memorial, 101 N. Gay St., Baltimore, MD 21202. If the
attack is before 2 PM local time, then events will begin at 5 PM,
local time. If the attack occurs after 2 PM local time, then events
will begin at noon, local time, the following day. Contact Max at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski2001 at
Comcast dot net.
54] – JONAH HOUSE NEEDS WORKERS FOR PEACE AND
JUSTICE
After
44 years of resisting weapons and war, Jonah House is Baltimore is in danger of
shutting down. Two of the three core members have announced their intention to
leave the community as of May 2018. That leaves one core member, Joe Byrne, who
will remain to recruit and re-form intentional community. But if no one steps
forward, Jonah House will have to close. Jonah House was
founded by Phil Berrigan, Liz McAlister, and others, in 1973, during the Vietnam
War. It was a center of resistance to that war. When the war ended, the focus
of resistance became the nuclear arms race. This resistance blossomed into the
Plowshares movement. Jonah House members have spent years in jail for
Plowshares disarmament actions. Other members have spent years supporting them,
and doing the work of the community in their absence. Resistance to weapons and
war continues at Jonah House. More recently, Jonah House has also become
involved in racial justice efforts in Baltimore, and the environmental justice
movement.
Jonah House is planted in the middle of a 22-acre, mostly-wooded cemetery in
West Baltimore called St. Peter’s. Maintaining and slowly restoring St. Peter’s
Cemetery is the work that pays the bills for the community. Jonah House also
uses the property to serve the living as well as honor the dead. Our gardens
and orchards feed the Jonah House community, and the surrounding neighborhood
community, via a food pantry and weekly food distribution to low-income neighbors.
We envision the cemetery—particularly the 11-acre forest patch—as a haven for
the people of the neighborhood, international peace activists, and numberless
living beings.
Jonah
House is also an interfaith spiritual community. We pray or meditate together
daily, and our spiritual practice informs and empowers everything we do,
whether in the fields or in the streets. To continue the vision,
Jonah House is looking for a few new core members willing to commit to a
two-year stint. We are also open to short- and long-term interns (3 months to a
year). The work of radical peacemaking, direct service to the poor, and
stewarding the land requires workers. We pray that God will send laborers to
the vineyard (yes, we have that too) and that Jonah House will continue to
comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable for another 44 years!
For more information, call 443-804-3410, or email us at engage@jonahhouse.org.

“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
