24]
– On Mon.,
June 15 from 3 to 4:30 PM, Stop Trump's Judges: Protect Our Health Care and Our
Rights, hosted by Alliance for Justice. Join the rally to hear from
Senator Chuck Schumer, Senator Mazie K. Hirono, and U.S. Senator Bob Casey. Instead
of answering the urgent cries to stop police violence and racial injustice or
addressing the COVID-19 crisis threatening our health and lives, and
disproportionately harming communities of color, Senate Republicans are fast-tracking
two judicial nominees who would dismantle civil rights protections, gut health
care protections, and support unchecked executive power: Justin Walker and Cory
Wilson. D.C. Circuit nominee Justin Walker called the Supreme Court’s decision
to uphold the ACA “catastrophic” and praised Brett Kavanaugh for writing the
“roadmap” for courts to overturn it. He supports unchecked executive power and
will erode civil rights protections– a position made even more dangerous by the
Trump Administration's continued efforts to attack all who are fighting for
Black lives.
Fifth Circuit nominee Cory Wilson called the Affordable Care Act "indefensible"
and "perverse," and fought efforts to expand affordable health care
as a legislator in Mississippi. Wilson has also supported discriminatory
efforts that would restrict voting rights for people of color, including voter
roll purges and voter ID requirements. Wilson's record is particularly
concerning in light of Republicans' recent attempts to use the COVID-19 crisis
to undermine our ability to vote. Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/276727473453616/.

20001. On Mon., June 1 at 6:28 PM outside
the White House, multiple police agencies unleashed a violent assault against a
peaceful protest demanding justice for George Floyd. People were shot with
stinger grenades and rubber bullets, pepper sprayed and gassed so that Trump
could hold a photo op holding a bible on the north side of Lafayette Park. This
was a criminal assault against the people. The Pentagon and D.C. police acted
as Trump’s accomplices. Those officials
who helped Trump carry out this attack should be fired and criminally prosecuted. Look at https://www.facebook.com/events/1576436249190822/.

to chat with policy experts and activists to explore the scope of the plastic
problem and the policy changes needed to address it. The film comes from the makers of “The Story
of Stuff,” which takes a sweeping look at the man-made crisis of plastic
pollution and the worldwide effect it has on people and the planet – fields
full of garbage, veritable mountains of trash, rivers and seas clogged with
waste, and skies choked with the poisonous emissions from plastic production
and processing. The film will be screened on Tues., June 16 at 6:30 PM ET. The
Post-film Discussion is at 8:15 PM ET.

– We have
arrived at a much-needed national reckoning over the systemic racism and
violence that has terrorized and oppressed Black families and communities
throughout our history. In the clamor for change, a long called-for
strategy of divesting budget resources away from policing – and reallocating
those resources to areas like healthcare, housing and education in order to
increase community health, economic wellness and safety – seems, to many, to
have burst upon the public consciousness as something new and powerful. In
fact, there’s a long history behind this strategy, including generations of
civil rights leaders. This online meeting is focused on examining what
defunding the police has meant and can mean. Join MomsRising at the next online
meeting to learn more about what defunding the police can mean on Tues., June
16 at 8 PM ET. Look at https://action.momsrising.org/survey/defundpolice/?t=4&akid=13927%2E2545036%2EwRIf2h.

historic Palestine and the implications of the impending annexation of the West
Bank. Also participating will be Dr.
Hatem Bazian, UC Berkeley. Check out
