Each member has taken action and contributed $ to a BLM cause and continues to keep the MOVEment alive through Daily Walks. Check out https://www.facebook.com/events/250840709478673/?event_time_id=250840719478672.

6] - Usually, the Baltimore Ethical Society, 2521 St. Paul St., Baltimore 21218, meets on Sundays, and generally there is a speaker and discussion at 10:30 AM.  On Sun., Sept. 13, the platform address is “The Joy and Perseverance of John Lewis.” Ten days before he died, Rep. John Lewis stood at Black Lives Matter Plaza opposite the White House looking as determined as he did at 23 years old speaking at the March on Washington.  All his life his gentle persona belied his strength, courage, and resiliency. Even when a storm threatened to tear his aunt’s home from the earth, John Lewis “walked with the wind,” hand-in-hand with 14 other children to hold down each corner when it began to lift.  As the whirlwind of current events threaten to tear apart our foundation, let us remember some lessons taught by someone Barack Obama eulogized as “a man of pure joy and unbreakable perseverance.” Hear from Hugh Taft-Morales who joined the Baltimore Ethical Society as its professional leader in 2010, the same year he was certified by the American Ethical Union as an Ethical Culture Leader.

9] – Our Neighbor L3Harris: Settler Colonialism of Palestine is the topic of discussion on Sun., Sept. 13 from 4 to 5 PM. Did you know L3Harris supplies weapons and surveillance equipment for settler colonial states around the globe? L3Harris is an accomplice in settler colonialism and state violence. In occupied Palestine, L3Harris has aided the Israeli settler state’s apartheid regime by providing screening technologies and surveillance equipment for checkpoints and the Apartheid Wall to restrict Palestinian mobility. L3Harris has played a supporting role in Israel’s brutal attacks on Palestinians in Gaza and in the illegal siege of the territory by supplying the Israeli military with weapons. Register here bit.ly/OurNeighborL3Harris2.

12] – Join this WEBINAR The Smoking Gun: Recent Revelations about U.S. Destabilization Efforts in Nicaragua on Sun., Sept. 13 at 5 PM ET.  Having already resumed illegal unilateral coercive measures attacking Nicaragua’s economy, the US government is now openly supplementing its economic aggression with a program intended not just to supplant Nicaragua’s Sandinista government but ultimately to destroy Sandinismo as a viable political movement. They want to turn Nicaragua into Bolivia (where a US-supported 2019 coup forced the elected president into exile). On July 31 Managua’s Radio La Primerísima revealed the contents of a USAID document with details of this next (or probably already begun) US government effort at regime change. The document outlines the main elements of a program called Responsive Assistance in Nicaragua (RAIN).

The speakers are S. Brian Willson, a justice activist for 50 years, who has lived in Nicaragua since 2017.  Coleen Littlejohn has been living in Nicaragua for most of the last 41 years.  She has worked for a wide range of organizations such as Catholic Relief Services.  Nan McCurdy is the editor of the weekly news magazine on Nicaragua, NicaNotes, and has been a resident of Nicaragua for most of the last 36 years.  Register at https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_kU4DWDj8S1iN1UI8RAkG5w?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=ee2672a1-56d9-4c05-94ff-0806affea544.

24] – Militarization of the Police and the 1033 Program is happening on Mon., Sept. 14 from 7 to 8:30 PM ET with William Hartung, Dan McFadden and Yasmine Taeb. Local police throughout the U.S. are direct beneficiaries of the military-industrial complex’s overproduction of hardware designed to dominate the globe. The Pentagon’s 1033 program provides police departments with excess military-grade equipment—including tanks, armored cars and weaponry—meant for war, not for keeping the public safe. When police are dressed and equipped for war, studies have shown, they are more apt to act as though the population is their enemy. Hartung is director of the Arms and Security Program at the Center for International Policy. McFadden joined the ACLU of Massachusetts as a staff attorney in September 2018. Taeb is Senior Policy Counsel for Demand Progress. She’s an experienced human rights lobbyist and previously served as Senior Policy Counsel at the Center for Victims of Torture directing the organization’s advocacy on refugees and asylum seekers.

Without waiting for approval from Congress or even the Secretary of Defense [sic], the President can unleash America’s entire nuclear arsenal.  Congress has no decision-making power regarding nuclear war? Hear from former Secretary of Defense [sic] William J. Perry and Tom Z. Collina, Ploughshares Fund. Visit https://www.worldoregon.org/the_button_the_new_nuclear_arms_race.

Or call Bob Smith at (215) 843-4827.

The students are requesting that the community comes out to support the action!  Hopkins essentially banned all protests a couple of weeks ago, using COVID 19 as an excuse to silence any dissent against their continuously atrocious actions. However, the group is never going to give the profit-based healthcare system a break from accountability. The highest-level precautions will be taken regarding COVID-19. 

Only 17 patients have been sued by JHH since our rally last July. That is compared to over 650 patients that were sued in 2018. The plan is now to get a public commitment that this will not happen again. See https://www.facebook.com/events/983408812084300 or a digital flyer https://www.facebook.com/coalitionforahumanehopkins/posts/717893102410392.
