documentary "The Truth: Lost at Sea" followed by a discussion
with film-maker and Mavi Marmara survivor Rifat Audeh and others from the 2010
Flotilla, including Kevin Neish and Ann Wright. In 2010, the Gaza Freedom
Flotilla, a convoy of six boats carrying humanitarian aid, attempted to break
Israel’s blockade of Gaza. After refusing Israel’s demand to turn away, the
flotilla continued on course through international waters, and the Israeli
Occupation Forces launched a night-raid attacking the boats. On one of the
boats, the Mavi Marmara, the Israeli commandos shot and killed nine human
rights activists, and a tenth later died of his injuries. The film details what
happened that night, unravelling how the story was spun by the media. Go to www.truthlostatsea.com and

on the vehicles will be turned on and blinking, and
the horns will be honking. It will continue to Wyman Park Drive near the
Baltimore Museum of Art. Continue to follow around the university on San
Martin Drive until University Parkway. At the light, the caravan will
turn right and proceed to Charles Street. There it will head south
hugging the university past 33rd Street until turning right at 29th
Street. Then it will go south on Maryland Avenue until 25th Street.
There it will turn left and head to Greenmount Avenue. At Greenmount,
turn left and go north until 33rd Street. Turn left and head to Barclay
Street. At Barclay turn left and head south to 25th Street. At 25th
turn right at Guilford Ave. Head north until 33rd Street. Go to St.
Paul Street and turn left. Head south to 25th Street. At 25th turn

head north. Cross University Parkway and pull into the parking lot of the
Episcopal Cathedral.

foot at 33rd Street will join us in the parking lot. Circle and celebrate

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.

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
