Administration Bldg., College Park 20742. Every day, communities around
the world suffer droughts, floods, famines, wildfires and storms due to climate
change. Our reckless burning of fossil fuels has poisoned marginalized communities
around Maryland, around the country and across the world. But UMD continues to
burn natural gas at a power plant, while claiming to be a climate leader.
Demand that the University of Maryland act like a true leader and invest in
clean, fossil free energy. Commit to carbon neutrality by 2025, break free from
natural gas and fossil fuel investments, and take real action on climate
change. These climate disasters will affect all of us, and to fix it, we have
to act at EVERY level. Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/2309832295935350/.

the weather grows more deadly and destructive, they aren’t waiting on
Washington to act. Learn about their incredible stories, and be inspired to
create change in your own community! Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sFznn8FNRbU.

– On Fri.,
April 26 from 7 to 9 PM at Red
Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse, 1225 Cathedral St., Baltimore 21201, Erica
Lagalisse presents "Occult Features of Anarchism." In the book,
Erica Lagalisse sets straight the history of the Left, illustrating the actual
relationship between modern revolutionism, occult philosophy, and the clandestine
fraternity. Questions of class respectability may lead Leftists to ignore
“conspiracy theory, “yet in doing so neo-fascist theories of history gain
ground. Inspired by research within today’s anarchist movements, Lagalisse's
latest work also serves to challenge contemporary anarchist “atheism”, which
poses practical challenges for coalition politics in the 21st century. Finally,
by studying the history of anarchism, Lagalisse also shows how the development
of Leftist theory and practice within clandestine masculine “public” spheres
continues to inform 21st century anarchist understandings of the ‘political’,
in which men’s oppression by the state becomes the prototype for power in
general. Look over https://www.facebook.com/events/573637093136551/.

cultural significance of Notre-Dame de Paris in the world and the hope for its
future. The tragic fire that broke out at the Notre-Dame Cathedral in
Paris on April 15th destroying its iconic spire and reducing its ancient wooden
roof to ash has sparked a wave of sympathy and emotion across the world.
The French cathedral, which dates back more than 850 years, will be rebuilt “more
beautiful than before” declared French President Emmanuel Macron.
Reconstruction of Notre-Dame will take many years, and is going to be a huge
collective effort. The program will feature Johann Vexo, organist at
Notre-Dame de Paris, and the choir of the Basilica of the National Shrine of
the Immaculate Conception. Johann Vexo was playing at Notre-Dame when the fire
started on April 15th. He is the last musician to have performed there. A

Notre-Dame de Paris. No reservation is required. If you wish to support

– 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 Venezuela. 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

“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
