56] – Join the Philadelphia Center City Drone Death
Walk/Vigil at 11:30 AM until 1 PM on Sat., Sept. 1 at 12th & Arch Sts. The
wars continue and our military government makes them seem like the status
quo. We are just getting used to WARS – Yemen, Afghanistan, Syria, and
countries in Africa which go unnamed but are being militarized by the
U.S. Right now the WAR in YEMEN, a human tragedy on a huge scale,
continues with U.S. military support. Without that support this war would not
continue. President Donald J. Trump and the Congress need to be resisted each
day, in the streets, online, on the phone. This street protest, while quiet, is
visible, dramatic, and one of a few that addresses the issue of U.S. WARMAKING.
If wars fit Trump’s fascist agenda, he will wage them just as he has,
significantly added to the number of drone strikes and then some since the
Obama Administration. Please wear BLACK, and you will get a plain
white mask. Call Marge Van Cleef at 203-804-3013.
57] – On Sat., Sept. 1 from 1 to 4 PM, get over to

59] – On Sat., Sept. 1 from 3 to 5 PM, get involved
with the issue Racism Threatening AACo Public Transportation, hosted
by SURJ Annapolis at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Annapolis, 333
Dubois Rd., Annapolis 21401. Hear from Samuel Jordan, president of the
Baltimore Transit Equity Coalition (BTEC). White supremacy relies on
restricting the mobility of some over others. This Saturday commit to use our
privilege to dismantle them.
Showing
Up for Racial Justice local Annapolis & AACo chapter is organizing in
solidarity with the Baltimore Transit Equity Coalition (BTEC) and the Baltimore
Chapter of SURJ to mobilize “a broader and more representative area
constituency that promotes totally bias-free, equal access to all
transportation services in the region without regard to race, color, income,
destination, home address, employment or health status as a regional transit
policy.” Misplaced community fear has transformed into a dangerous race-baiting
campaign to close three light rail stops in North County. These stops are
critical to connect folks with employment, health care, and other services.

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.
61]
– 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.

Join an extraordinary global campaign for the elimination of nuclear weapons: http://www.globalzero.org/sign-declaration.
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.
