69] – 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. Join CODEPINK in
Washington D.C. on Fri., Nov. 1 and each following Friday through
December. On November 8, that Friday will make the connection between war
and climate change.
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. What’s often left out of this
conversation is the fact that the Pentagon pollutes the atmosphere with
greenhouse gases more than 140 countries combined. We can’t address climate
change without taking on U.S. militarism — join CODEPINK in Washington D.C. on
Fridays with special emphasis on November 8th, where war and militarism will be
the focus. 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.

St. NW, WDC 20005. Tickets are at cmfilmfestival.bpt.me. This is a
week of documentary films, inspiring panel discussions, healing arts workshops,
and a Saturday party!
The Current Movements Film Festival was created to connect a wider audience to
documentary films and to what is happening in social movements
today. This 6-day event will not only highlight stories of social
change, but will also bring together artists, activists, filmmakers, and
collectives who are building a future we want to live in. Each day,
see documentaries that will be the starting point to talk about the issues
facing real people and communities. Hear the voices of global activists who are
doing the work day-in and day-out to make a difference. This form of
multi-layered storytelling is to engage attendants into getting involved in
movements by understanding the issues, see they have a role to play, and to
learn how they can meaningfully take part. In the process, the hope is that it
will bring folks in movements together to build relationships and find new ways
to build power.

84] – On Sat., Nov. 9 and 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.

– On
Sat., Nov. 9 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.

– 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

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
