– Hear about the Israeli
Annexation: Geopolitical Implications and the Future of Palestine on Wed., Oct.
21 from 6:45 to 9 PM. The
commentators are Phyllis Bennis, Senior Fellow at the Institute for Policy
Studies, one of the founders of U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, board
member of Jewish Voice for Peace and author of Understanding the
Palestinian-Israeli Conflict and author of "Understanding the
Palestinian-Israeli Conflict: A Primer and Leila Farsakh, Associate professor
and chair of the Political Science Department at the UMass Boston, Senior
research fellow at the Center for Development Studies at Birzeit University,
West Bank and author of "Palestinian Labor Migration to Israel: Labor,
Land and Occupation." The government of Israel threatened to formally
annex parts of the West Bank in July 2020, while they have been carrying out de
facto annexation for years, since 1967 – by confiscating land, building the
wall within the Green line, demolishing homes and expelling Palestinians. Get

55] –I’m a Black man raised by a single mother in a housing project. My story doesn’t usually end in Congress.

60] – Friends of the Earth Action [info@foeaction.org] is seeking nationwide help to stop the Atlantic Coast Pipeline on Thurs., Oct. 22 at 3 PM ET. Help text progressive voters in North Carolina. The Atlantic Coast Pipeline -- Duke and Dominion Energy’s fracked gas pipeline -- was an environmental nightmare. Help get out the vote in North Carolina. The ACP would have moved fracked gas from West Virginia through Virginia and into North Carolina. It would have generated more than 67 million metric tons of global warming pollution yearly -- all while threatening local communities, wildlife, and drinking water. One of the pipeline’s biggest supporters? NC Senator Thom Tillis. Tillis is up for reelection in one of the tightest Senate races in the country. If environmentalists show up at the polls, they will kick him out of the Senate. Register at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAlcu2trDIuE93nj-F5vfGcBOldol23iPGM.
61] – The deadline is 2030. If we want even a chance of avoiding catastrophic runaway climate chaos, then that is the year by which we need to cut global emissions by half. Four more years of Trump will mean we have next to no chance of meeting that deadline, at which point the future of organized human society would be in severe peril. The #VoteTrumpOut campaign is contacting thousands of swing voters on Facebook every day, and your help is needed. Volunteer Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays with the Digital Canvass team, and help flip a crucial swing state! Everyone who can should be giving time to help save our planet from this aspiring tyrant. Sign up here to get started: https://www.mobilize.us/unitedagainsttrump/event/329042/. Take a slot on Thurs., Oct. 22 from 4 to 5 PM ET or 7 to 8 PM ET.
62] – What exactly is Christian Zionism? Identify how the white evangelical Christian Zionist base in this country is enormously influential in deciding who’s in office, and in driving anti-Palestinian U.S. policy. Political Research Associates is hosting a spectacular event called ‘Christian Zionism: The End Times Agenda in U.S. Domestic and Foreign Policy’ on Thurs., Oct. 22 at 4 PM ET. Movement leaders and experts on Christian Zionism will discuss its deeply anti-Semitic, anti-Muslim, and anti-democratic foundation as well as its influence on U.S. policy at home and abroad.

71] – Enjoy an evening with Dr. Peniel Joseph on Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X on Thurs., Oct. 22 from 7 to 8:30 PM. This online conversation will highlight his new double biography of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. It is a stunning account of two men shaped and molded in Boston. Dr. Joseph is among our nation's top historians. Popular accounts of the 1960s-era civil rights movement are often reduced to the story of two extraordinary visionaries. In his book “The Sword and the Shield” Joseph argues that by focusing on their differing doctrines of self-defense versus nonviolence, we’ve been blind to the scope of their shared activism and communion.
