National Aquarium, Animal Care and Rescue Center, 901 E Fayette Street,
Baltimore 21202. Congressperson Jared Huffman invites you to the next
listening session on the Magnuson-Stevens Act and federal fisheries management.
This panel discussion with experts and stakeholders will be a detailed,
technical examination of current and future challenges in federal fisheries
management and will explore potential solutions. This will inform Rep.
Huffman’s development of a Magnuson-Stevens reauthorization bill. Guests will
be able to submit written questions during the roundtable and provide public
comments at its conclusion. Audubon would like to see improvements to the
Magnuson-Stevens Act including: better management for forage fish, protecting
seabirds from becoming bycatch in nets and on hooks, and protecting essential
fish habitat such as SAV beds. Attendees will receive Audubon t-shirts, hats,
and messaging assistance. Contact Jaime D. Sigaran, National Campaigns
Associate, at jaime.sigaran@audubon.org

Land Precarity, hosted by the UMBC Department of American Studies at Red
Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse, 1225 Cathedral St., Baltimore 21201.
Threats to land access and land rights loom large when organizing and
sustaining community garden and urban farming movements. Whitelock Community
Farm, Pop Farm, Black Yield Institute, and Filbert Street Garden all provide
spaces where their communities can thrive, offering neighborhood events,
educational programs, and increased access to beauty, nature, and healthy
foods. Despite their important contributions, these organizations encounter
struggles in terms of land--from acquisition and environmental concerns to
threats of displacement due to land grabs from developers. Go to http://redemmas.org/. Visit

cross-burning rallies to marches and riots in St. Augustine, Florida and Selma,
Alabama, and extensive travels and interviews with Martin Luther King, Jr.,
Anne Farris Rosen, Herbers’s daughter and co-author, tells the compelling story
of her father’s dedication to bring the country’s racial difficulties to light,
even as he faced retaliation and denial from white groups. Rosen is an
award-winning freelance journalist based in Washington, D.C. and adjunct
professor at the University of Maryland's Philip Merrill College of Journalism.

and Sat., Nov. 16 from 8 to 10 PM, see The Havel Project, hosted by the
Alliance for New Music-Theatre at the Dupont Underground, 19 Dupont Circle NW,
WDC 20036. This is a Double bill of Václav Havel’s Protest and the
group’s original production -- Vaněk Unleashed, a tribute to Havel and the
Velvet Revolution! "Protest" exposes a society under a
totalitarian regime that spies on its citizens and the thin line between
acquiescence and culpability, between comedy and creepy terror. Vaněk
Unleashed is a uniquely American response to the same, most beloved central
character of Vaněk. In this work the Alliance adds to the tradition that
includes playwrights Samuel Beckett and Tom Stoppard of paying tribute to Havel
by making Vaněk a universal character. The performance is written and directed
by Susan Galbraith. Look at https://www.facebook.com/events/510364376469067/?event_time_id=510364389802399.

holds a monthly membership meeting on the 3rd Saturday of every month from
12:30 to 2:30 PM. Do a deep dive into exciting issues and brainstorming
creative legislation and activism to address the myriad problems arrayed before
us. All the meetings are potlucks, so bring your favorite lunch dish to share! On
Nov. 16 at the Orleans St. Library, 1303 Orleans St., Baltimore 21231, the topic will be
Transportation and Mass Transit. Our transportation system isn't working
for the people of Baltimore or Maryland at large. Under-investment in public
mass transit hampers mobility, opportunity and social cohesion. Safe walking
and biking options are limited in the city, costing us health and safety. Discuss
the current state of affairs of the transportation system and what we can do to
fix it! The speakers are Samuel Jordan - President of the Baltimore Transit
Equity Coalition (BTEC), Sachin Hebbar - Baltimore County Pedestrian and
Bicycle Advisory Committee, Ryan Dorsey - Baltimore City Council,
Transportation committee chair. Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/420478611905716/.

81] – On
Sat., Nov. 16 starting at 4:30 PM with a membership meeting, at 5:30 PM a Mass

at Father Ray Hall, Our Lady Queen of Peace, 2700 19th St. S., Arlington, VA.
The suggested donation is $25. The recipient of this year’s award is
longtime activist Paul Magno. Paul believes that the articulation of
Martin Luther King about the “giant triplets of racism, militarism and extreme
materialism” remains compelling more than fifty years after King’s
murder. Part of the Catholic Worker, Paul now lives at Baltimore’s Jonah
House. Contact Chuck Michaels at mailto:cwmichaels@igc.org
or 443-846-5207. Go to https://paxchristimdcb.org/.
82] – On Sat., Nov. 16 from 5:30 to 8:30 PM, Rise Up and
Demand Trump/Pence Out Now, hosted by Refuse Fascism at Union Station,
WDC. The time has come to launch mass, sustained, nonviolent protests
that come back week after week, refusing to stop until the Trump/Pence Regime
has been removed from power.
The
Trump/Pence Regime poses a catastrophic danger to humanity. Concentration Camps
on the border… environmental devastation accelerated… the danger of war, even
nuclear, threatened… white supremacy rules… fascist mobs and racist mass
murderers… truth and science erased… the rule of law and democratic and civil
rights are stripped away… THIS IS FASCISM UNFOLDING.
Now,
impeachment has begun. A momentous move, in which sharp political battle lines
are drawn with high stakes. Trump himself threatens charges of treason and even
invokes civil war. A virulent fascist movement sees their future bound up with
the whole Trump/Pence regime. Where this ends up depends on us.
This
is a moment when we – people of many different views and experience – must act
together in mass, sustained, non-violent nationwide protests that continue
until the Trump/Pence regime is removed from power. We began with protests in
NYC and LA on October 19 that announced four more consecutive Saturdays of
protests in cities and towns across the country that gather more people and
momentum so that in the weeks and months that follow, the movement grows to
tens and hundreds of thousands and millions. What unifies all the diverse
streams of people that need to pour into the streets is the single demand: The
Trump/Pence Regime Must Go—Now! Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/453251581982011/?event_time_id=453251595315343.
83] – On Sat., Nov. 16 from 7 to 9 PM, This is what democracy
looked like! Hosted by Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse, 1225 Cathedral
St., Baltimore 21201, this talk reflects on the 20th anniversary of the Seattle
WTO protests, which is this November, a moment usually heralded as the “coming-out
party” of the American “anti-globalization movement.” In late 1999, an
explosion of disruptive protest shut down the World Trade Organization in
Seattle. It was a rare clear victory for radical organizers. The ripple effect
took the form of copycat protests across the world, any time there was a summit
of global institutions. For a moment, a new anti-corporate social movement
promised to construct a new kind of globalization, one that promoted labor
rights, ecological security, civil society, and social equality. Yet by late
2001 the movement was only a memory, gone seemingly as quickly as it appeared.
Nonetheless, for the last two decades the Seattle moment has cast a long shadow
far beyond its brief lifespan—via Occupy and the revival of U.S. socialism.
Baltimore
activists Mike McGuire and Ryan Harvey will participate in the
conversation—with Ryan recording the discussion for a special live episode of
his new podcast Hope Dies Last! Nadine Bloch was part of the Ruckus
training team at the Globalize This! Action camp; in the Fall of 1999, she was
on the streets with DAN (Direct Action Network) coordinating crew of the
ShutDown WTO actions. Currently, Nadine Bloch is the Training Director for
Beautiful Trouble. Jamie McCallum is a sociology professor at Middlebury
College. Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/426318771648481/.

second one is “Uncommon Martyrs The Berrigans, the Catholic Left, and the

85] – 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

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
