-- Across
America, people with diabetes are going to disturbing lengths to stay alive.
From rationing their insulin to traveling hundreds of miles to buy it, Big
Pharma’s greed has put people in heartbreaking situations. These stories need
to be told, so see a short film on Thurs., Nov. 14 from 4:30 to 5:30 PM at the
Outrage, 1722 14th St. NW, WDC 20009. On
World Diabetes Day, see “Across the Bridge,” which follows a group of Americans
living with diabetes and advocates as they travel to Canada to buy insulin
because of the ridiculously high prices in the U.S. This film highlights the
extreme measures Americans are going through to obtain the medication they
literally need to survive, and the corporate greed responsible. Check out https://www.eventbrite.com/e/affordable-insulin-now-across-the-bridge-short-film-screening-tickets-80767932059?utm_campaign=ATBScreening11.12&utm_medium=AINEmails&utm_source=AffordableInsulinNOW.
Eli Lilly, one of the largest insulin manufacturers, has increased their prices
by more than 585% in the last 20 years. This price gouging is the root cause of
the sky-high prices that are forcing people to travel to Canada to get their
insulin. For people with diabetes, insulin is the difference between life and
death.
55] –On Thurs., Nov. 14 from 4:30 to 6 PM, Honor Those Killed By U.S. Border
Patrol -- Candlelight Vigil, hosted by Close Immigrant Children Prisons at
14th and C Sts. NW, WDC. Read the names
of those killed by Border (Murder) Patrol during the last several years,
including Jose Antonio Rodriguez and Sergio Adrian Guereca of Mexico who were
fatally shot by Border Patrol agents while on the southern side of the
U.S.-Mexico border. Bring a candle. Look

56] – On Thurs., Nov. 14 at 5 PM, Stop Robbing Our Kids! Take on
corporate tax-dodgers to build support for corporate accountability (and
revenue generation) legislation in 2020. You
pay taxes, so why don’t Under Armour and Marriott? Both companies paid
ZERO state taxes in recent years. Meanwhile, Under Armour CEO Kevin Plank’s
development firm, Sagamore Development, also received $660 million in tax
breaks to build his exclusive (read “white”) Port Covington development - which
was questionably designated an “Opportunity Zone” by Governor Hogan and secured
additional federal tax breaks! This action is led by CU youth at
Baltimore’s Harbor East - between Under
Armour Brand House and Marriott’s
Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore. Meet at the circle at S. President and Aliceanna
Streets. Contact steven@communitiesunite.org.
57] – Progressive
Maryland is promoting forums to find out more about the Kirwan proposals: the
“Blueprint for Maryland’s Future.” How about more funding for education? The
next forums are on Thursdays. On Nov. 14 at 6 PM it is at Centreville Middle School, 231 Ruthsburg Road,
Centreville. There is one at 6 PM at the Wicomico Public Library, 122 S.
Division St., Salisbury. Then there is one at 7 PM at the Urbana Fire Hall,
3602 Urbana Pike, Frederick.
Our schools are underfunded. Our students have growing needs. An out-of-date
funding formula doesn't address the needs of our schools. Join us for a
discussion about public education funding and find out how you can get involved
to advocate for full funding for our students, our teachers, our families, and
our future! Look at https://www.marylandblueprint.org/.
58] – On Thurs., Nov. 14 from 6 to 7:30 PM, see Women of
Color: The Power of Protest at the National Portrait Gallery, 8th and F Streets
NW, WDC 20001. Noted speakers will expand upon the current exhibitions
"Vote for Women: A Portrait of Persistence" (NPG) and "I Am...
Contemporary Women Artists of Africa" (NMAfA), and will highlight art and
material culture from the National Museum of the American Indian. These
engaging conversations will connect historical efforts to contemporary
movements like Black Lives Matter and #MeToo. Discover how women of color have
found empowerment and raised their voices for change! This event is free and open to the public.

62] – Inspired by the Swedish student, Greta Thunberg, the student
strikers and Naomi Klein's new book "On Fire: The Burning Case for the
Green New Deal," Jane Fonda decided to upend her life, left her comfort
zone and move to Washington, D.C. for four months to focus on climate change.
As Greta said, "This is a crisis. We have to act like our house is on
fire, because it is.” So, every Friday
she will host an action called — Fire Drill Friday — at 11 AM on the East Lawn
of the Capitol Building, followed by a direct action. Each Friday focus
on a different aspect of the climate crisis and what needs to be done moving
forward. On November 15, that Friday will make the connection with Environmental Justice.
Here’s the deal: We are living at the last
possible moment in human history when we can do something about climate change
or fail to do so, thereby denying hundreds of millions of people a livable
future. Last year, the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC)
published its regular report which stated in no uncertain terms that given the
worsening disasters we’re already seeing and the additional warming that is
already baked in because we didn’t act 30 years ago, we do not stand a chance
at changing course in time without profound, systemic economic and social
change in the next 11 years. Visit https://www.codepink.org/firedrillfridays.
