61] – On
Fri., May 24 from 9 AM to 5 PM, get your message to Trump to Free Jesus
Santrich Now! This Call-In Day is hosted by the Tucson Anti-War
Committee. Donald Trump is meddling in the Colombian Peace Process. The
US government has created bogus charges against Colombian Congress member and
ex-FARC commander Jesus Santrich. Trump and Colombian oligarchy, led by former
President Uribe, have violated the ruling of the Colombian Special Peace
Jurisdiction that Santrich is not be extradited to the US. The court also ruled
that Santrich be immediately released from prison. Trump and current President
Duque violated that decision by re-arresting Santrich just as he was exiting La
Picota prison last week. Santrich suffered cardiac arrest as a result and there
are rumors of abuse and even poisoning by Colombian authorities. We must stop
Trump now! Call the White House and tell Trump: We demand the immediate
release of Jesus Santrich! We demand the bogus charges be dropped! We
demand that Trump support the Colombian Peace Accords! #SantrichLibre. Visit

says that the human body is not well adapted to eating meat. His presentation,
a fascinating and in-depth comparison of the anatomical features of herbivores,
omnivores, and carnivores, will help us gain a better understanding as to which
foods are ideal for fueling the human body. Mills practices urgent care
medicine in the Washington DC area, and has served previously as Associate
Director of Preventive Medicine and as a member of the National Advisory Board,
for Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine (PCRM). He has been a major
contributor to position papers presented by PCRM to the United States
Department of Agriculture regarding Dietary Guidelines for Americans, and has
been the lead plaintiff in PCRM’s class action lawsuit that asks for warning
labels on milk.
Dinner Guests may choose to either bring a dish made without
animal products (to serve 8) plus a $5 (members pay just $2) donation; pay $15
(members pay just $12) to enjoy dinner and presentation; or pay $5 for
presentation only. Eat first, then make announcements, and then hear the
presentation. If you plan to pay for dinner rather than bring a dish, RSVP by
calling 410-252-3043, or emailing Baltimore@Earthsave.org.
Drive around church to large parking lot, where you'll see the white Earthsave
banner near the Fellowship Hall entry. See https://www.facebook.com/events/420686555393529/.
71] – “Shadows and Ashes:

Cultural Arts Center, 7995 Georgia Avenue, Silver Spring, through May 31, 2019.

masks, poetry, and informational graphics -- will be accompanied by various

mcblogs/montgomerycollege.edu/cac for exhibit hours and parking.
72] – 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 Venezuela takes place, then meet at 33rd and N. Charles St., Baltimore 21218. If the attack
is before 2 PM local time, then events will begin at 5 PM, local
time. If the attack occurs after 5 PM local time, then events
will begin at 5 PM, local time, the following day. Contact Max at
410-323-1607 or mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net.
73] -- If you would like
to get rid of books, videos, DVDs, records, tarps and table cloths, contact Max
at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski2001 at comcast.net.
74] -- Can you use any
book shelves? Contact Max at 410-323-1637 or mobuszewski2001 at comcast.net.
75] -- 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.
76] – A Peace
Park Antinuclear Vigil takes place every day in Lafayette Park, 1601
Pennsylvania Ave. NW, 24 hours a day, since June 3, 1981. Go to http://prop1.org; call

“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
