62] – Christians United for Israel (CUFI) is having their
annual Washington Summit in Washington, DC on Mon., July 8. Jewish Voice for
Peace plans to be there to show them and the world: No more hiding behind the
banner of ‘standing with the Jewish people’ while they cheerlead the most
oppressive and destructive of Israel’s impulses. Reject their antisemitism,
their Islamophobia, and their warmongering. That’s why JVP is supporting an
action led by allies at Friends of Sabeel North America (FOSNA), American
Muslims for Palestine (AMP), and Democratic Socialists of America (DSA). Register
and join in on Sun., July 7th and/or the 8th at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc6jIvUrjuG7TSbai3l1NVsuwNTGKudHDGaGQWOxdjyeTNMAA/viewform.
CUFI is a Christian Zionist organization: Its ideology and politics are deeply
entrenched in white nationalism, anti-Muslim racism, anti-Semitism, and other forms
of bigotry and systems of oppression. In spite of its strong political
influence on the Hill, CUFI has operated largely under the radar and received
little attention in comparison with groups like AIPAC. Many of your
Congressional representatives will be attending CUFI’s annual summit as invited
guests. We cannot allow CUFI’s influence to go unchallenged. Come to
Washington, D.C. on July 7 and 8 to tell the world to #CounterCUFI! Visit www.Jewishvoiceforpeace.org.

68] – The Trump Administration is again
beating the war drums. Most recently, the target is Iran. Should
the Trump administration initiate an act of war against Iran, consider joining
us. It is a violation of U.S. law for the Trump Administration 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.
Should a war criminal, John Bolton, convince Trump to attack either of these
countries, 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 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 the event will begin at 5 PM, local time. If the attack
occurs after 5 PM local time, then the event will begin at 5 PM,
local time, the following day. Contact Max at 410-323-1607 or
mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net.

71] -- 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.

“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
