This
weekly series is meant to provide an organizing workspace with action-oriented
discussion circles focused on building the kinds of markets, society, food
systems and resiliency that we want for our region; raising watershed and
environmental justice consciousness; and following youth climate leaders in
taking immediate action to reverse the dramatic disruption of our climate
systems. Bring your vision and passion for reshaping our communities and local
economies in the service of resiliency, racial equity, and carbon-neutrality.

39] – 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 29, that Friday will make the connection with Food Justice & Agriculture.
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.

On Fri., Nov. 29 from 1 to 3 PM, Rally for Indigenous
People's Day Recognition, hosted by Jennifer Folayan at 300 S. President
St., Baltimore 21202. Please indicate if you are actually “going”. There is a
need for an accurate count. In his own journals, Columbus graphically describes
raping indigenous women and sex-trafficking children (“those from nine to ten
are now in demand.)” His men would cut of the hands of Taino people who did not
bring them the required amount of gold, tying their severed hands around their
necks. Within 50 years of Columbus landing on the island, 95 percent of the
Taino population had died. Introduce important legislation to change the name
of the holiday that celebrates a purveyor of genocide, to a holiday that
celebrates the Native American community that calls Maryland home. Maryland has
the opportunity to demonstrate its place in politics and history as a
progressive state that shows solidarity to the other states who honor Indigenous
People's Day. Join in for a day of Indigenous speakers, dancers and
drummers to show support for Indigenous People's Day! This is a great way to
finish off National American Indian Heritage month and prepare for a new year
of making America NATIVE again! Meet at the Columbus statue at the Inner
Harbor. Check out https://www.facebook.com/events/406879693526265/.
