Terror, hosted by Witness Against Torture and Justice for
Muslims Collective at Public Welfare Foundation Inc., 1200 U St. NW, WDC

Wed., June 26 from 6 to 8:30 PM, be at Solidarity with 10 Years of Honduran
Resistance, hosted by DC CISPES at 1525 Newton St. NW, WDC 20010-3103.
June 28, 2019 will mark 10 years of Honduran resistance – 10 years since the
Honduran military overthrew a democratically elected president in Honduras.
Hondurans resisting the resulting conditions by migrating to the United States
are met with extreme violence – their children are kidnapped and locked in
cages, their asylum claims too often rejected. Meanwhile, Hondurans organizing
to fight for a dignified life in Honduras are met with violence and repression
from a U.S. funded narco-government and military dictatorship.
Come
to St. Stephens Church for a fundraiser (SLIDING SCALE DONATIONS AT THE DOOR)
with local music, a panel discussion, and food in support of 10 years of
Honduran resistance! Check out https://dichosdeunbicho.com/fuerza-honduras/
and https://www.facebook.com/events/332646927416139/.

48] – On Wed., June
26 from 7 to 9 PM, catch D. Watkins in conversation with Lisa Snowden-McCray at
Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse, 1225 Cathedral St., Baltimore 21201.
Five years ago, in June of 2014, 10 months before the Uprising, D. Watkins was
still on the come up, a freelance essay writer grinding towards success. His
viral essay "Too Poor for Pop Culture" had dropped earlier in 2014,
putting him on the map for a local and national audience for the first time.
Red Emma's had the honor to partner with D. on his first print publication, a
zine version of this essay and a few others. At the time, we wrote that "D.
Watkins' essays for Salon and elsewhere, chronicling the struggles and hustles
of Black Baltimore and his own trajectory from street dealer to creative
writer, are no doubt the first shots fired by a major literary talent in the
making."
With
his third book in five years out, writing in the New York Times, and a
high-profile gig as a regular Salon columnist and video-maker, D. is a voice to
be reckoned with, and one who has studiously made a point of using his success
to lift up new rising voices from Baltimore's streets. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/669589293477074/.

Wed., June 26 from 7 to 9 PM, catch a Book Talk: How the 1% Manipulate Our
Understanding, hosted by World Beyond War at the Wooden Shoe Books
and Records, 704 South St., Philadelphia 19147. Tickets are at
actionnetwork.org. Divest Philly from the War Machine Coalition is
pleased to present author Roy Eidelson who will speak about his book, "Political
Mind Games: How the 1% Manipulate Our Understanding of What's Happening, What's
Right, and What's Possible." The author explains how we can recognize -
and counter - the manipulative appeals that the 1% use to advance their
self-serving agenda. Offering timely examples drawn from the realms of
militarism, the war economy, climate change, and more, Roy shows why
understanding and debunking the 1%'s mind games is an urgent matter for anyone
interested in building a more decent society.
In
addition to Roy's talk, the event will feature a discussion of the newly
forming Divest Philly from the War Machine Coalition & opportunities for
getting involved! Divest Philly from the War Machine is a network of groups
working to divest public and private funds in Philly from weapons
manufacturers, military contractors, and war profiteers. Eidelson, PhD, is the
former executive director of the University of Pennsylvania’s Solomon Asch
Center for Study of Ethno political Conflict and a past president of
Psychologists for Social Responsibility. His work focuses on applying
psychological knowledge to issues of social justice and political change.
The
Wooden Shoe is an all-volunteer collectively-run Info shop that seeks to embody
the principles of anarchism and other movements for social justice. See https://www.facebook.com/events/331487917566129/.
