at 5:30 PM. RSVP is requested.
On
Fri., June 8 see “Looted and Hidden” [2017] by Rona Sela.
Based entirely on archival materials, long-term research and in-depth
interviews with key figures, the film focuses on the cinematic treasures that
Israel took as booty in Beirut in the 1980s from various visual institutions.
It raises questions about archival institutions in colonial regions and zones
of conflict and points, as in detective work, to the need to dig into the
invisible and hidden in order to reveal what has been erased or rewritten. RSVP
at http://www.thejerusalemfund.org/events/upcoming/summer-film-series-2018-looted-and-hidden.
On
Sat., June 9 watch “Killing Gaza” [2017] by Max Blumenthal &
Dan Cohen. In this film, independent journalists Blumenthal and Cohen
capture the assault on Gaza during the 2014 war and chronicle its horrific
aftermath. Besides documenting Palestinian resilience and suffering, it
also documents the war crimes committed by the Israeli military through direct
testimony and evidence from the survivors, delivered often just days after
escaping indiscriminate shelling, bombings and summary executions. Blumenthal
and Cohen will be present. RSVP at http://www.thejerusalemfund.org/events/upcoming/summer-film-series-2018-killing-gaza-with-max-blumenthal-and-dan-cohen.

– On
Fri., June 8 at 6 PM through Sat., June 9 at 11 PM, participate in How will
Global Trade Survive Politics and Populism? It is hosted
by Thunderbird Independent Alumni Association at the National Press Club,
529 14th St. NW, WDC 20045. Tickets are at www.tiaaglobal.org.
The EU vs Brexit. TPP vs "One Belt, One Road." Tariffs vs. national
economic competitiveness. Some say cross-border trade agreements simply
redistribute wealth rather than deliver real expansion of the global economic
pie. Globalist proponents point to the reduction of poverty in emerging
markets, and how the creation of key international institutions brought peace
to Europe after two devastating 20th century wars. Populism adherents, pointing
to the chase for the cheapest labor, don't want humans reduced to mere widgets.
They emphasize the market value in pride of class, nation, culture, profession
(all collar colors), or race. For them, the issue is not benefit; but unfair
disparity.
The
pendulum has swung - hard. Is a zero-sum game inevitable? How do global trade
professionals navigate this new world? Join TIAA in Washington D.C., a locus of
this global debate, where speakers will confront these issues head-on. Leaders
and Managers working in the global arena will leave with a better understanding
of the debate, and resources for making cross-border trade work for all.

Raise our voices against the key actors who are carrying out Trump’s family

families, while US Attorneys enforce the separation in legal proceedings. We
need to stand up against this incompetence and the moral abomination of family
separation.

video on Fri., June 8 from 7to 9 PM at the Abiding Saviour Lutheran Church.

–
On Sat., June
9 from 8 AM to 2 PM, join the 3rd Annual Baltimore Floatilla, hosted
by Mr. Trash Wheel at the Canton Waterfront Park, 3001 Boston St.,
Baltimore 21224. Join the fight for a clean and accessible Harbor by
paddling in the Baltimore Floatilla while raising money for its restoration.
The Healthy Harbor Initiative is fighting every day for clean water and healthy
communities. Money raised by the Floatilla will provide City students with
environmental field trips, makeover dirty alleys and help Mr. Trash Wheel and
Prof. Trash Wheel keep hundreds of tons of trash out of the water.
Healthy
Harbor and the Baltimore Floatilla are changing the narrative about paddling in
the City. Not only is the Inner Harbor a beautiful, unique, awe-inspiring,
bucket list-worthy place for a Saturday morning paddle; it’s also a vibrant
marine ecosystem and home to cutting edge environmental restoration projects
like floating wetlands and Mr. Trash Wheel. Unfortunately, millions of gallons
of sewage and other pollution flow into Baltimore's streams and Harbor every
year. That’s why we call on experienced paddlers to show their love for this
incredible environmental and recreational resource and help us raise money for
its restoration. Following this year’s theme of “Harbor Love,” paddlers
are being asked to decorate their boats, boards and themselves. That could mean
dressing up as a blue crab, Mr. Trash Wheel, the Domino Sugar sign or anything
else that shows one’s love for the waterfront. Prizes will be given for the
best expressions of Harbor Love. Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/149935292470683/.

50] – About 8.3 billion
tons of plastic have been produced since the 1950s — the weight of roughly a
billion elephants. Despite the best efforts of people like you, only about 9%
of this plastic has been recycled, and much of this plastic waste ends up in
our oceans. We are tired of corporations benefiting from this cycle of
single-use plastic and using our oceans as their dumping ground. The oceans are
rising, and so are we! March for the Ocean on Sat., June 9 at 11 AM. Meet
at the Art Museum of the Americas, 201 18th St. NW, WDC. Millions of people
around the world depend on the oceans for their livelihoods, and more than half
of the oxygen we breathe comes from the ocean. Despite its vital importance to
life on our planet, scientists have documented 700 marine species affected by
ocean plastic. We cannot allow this to continue. RSVP at https://engage.us.greenpeace.org/onlineactions/c_STW1ovQUuI02z8cf28Qw2?utm_source=ea&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=180530_m4o_sign_making1ezzzzzzzzzzz&sourceid=1003738.

Expats for Democracy and Social Justice. Meet in the Parade Staging Zone
- PURPLE area: 22nd St. between N St. NW and P St. NW at 4 PM and look for “Liberation
- D.C.” Pride has its origins in the militant and fighting LGBTQ movement
of the 1960s and 1970s, as thousands of LGBTQ people poured into the streets
demanding equal rights. Now, we must build a fighting people's movement with
all communities under attack to stop the Trump agenda and protect the gains
made by the LGBTQ community.
Brazil
has the highest number of LGBTQI persons being executed in the
world. March in honor of Marielle Franco's memory and legacy - a LGBTQI
black council woman and human rights defender who was shot dead this March in
Rio. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/1857846817856473/?active_tab=about.

– Do you have any interest in challenging the Trump administration for reneging
on the Iran Deal? If yes, would you be interested in joining a Peace Caravan to
the Iranian embassy in Washington, D.C.? Contact Max at 410-323-1607 or
mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net.
54]
– 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.

– 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.

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
