52] – On Fri., Sept. 14
and Sat., Sept. 15 at 10 AM until Sept. 28, get over to In Their Footsteps:
Woman Suffrage Walking Tour, hosted by National Women's History Museum
starting at the Ulysses S. Grant Memorial, 1st St. NW, WD C 20004. Follow
the route of the 1913 Woman Suffrage Procession through DC and gain an
understanding of the suffragist struggle for equality and the right to vote.
The American woman suffrage movement is recognized as officially starting in
1848, at the Seneca Falls Women's Rights Convention in New York. Over the next
72 years, generations of activist women (and men) worked tirelessly until the
19th Amendment was adopted. It took the efforts of a wide range of women, from
the most radical advocates of male and female equality, to women who saw the
right to vote as necessary to more effectively advocate for moral and social
reform. Their efforts to succeed set the stage for grassroots efforts to come,
proving that determined citizens can achieve change.
The
tour begins at the Capitol Reflecting Pool by the Ulysses S Grant Memorial. The
nearest metro is Federal Center SW (Blue/Orange/Silver line). The tour will
cover about 1.5 miles, last about 2 hours, and end in Lafayette Square across
from the White House. Meet your tour guide on the steps of the Ulysses S Grant

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.
75] – 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

77] – 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.
