67] – Help Georgia Elect Two US Senators to Save Our
Climate. Join with Mike Tidwell who
launched the Chesapeake Climate Action Network and CCAN Action Fund. Now he is
headed to Georgia to help two US Senate candidates in special runoffs. These
elections, on January 5, could save our nation and the global climate. Help
Democrats Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock win their U.S. Senate races in
Georgia. If the Democrats win on January 5, Joe Biden can pass clean energy
legislation to save America and the world from climate change. Please sign up
to make calls, write letters, and send texts to Georgia voters: http://ccanactionfund.org/fight-to-vote/#write-letters.
68] – On Fri., Nov. 20 from 6 AM to 8:30 AM EST, tune in to Animals Affected by Climate Change, an Online Event, hosted by Animals x Climate Change x Global Health Webinar Series. Sign in at https://jh.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_-8eK1FtkTHWb5yXtVNLLZQ. Gain a deeper understanding of which animals are most vulnerable to climate change. First, consider the effects of climate change on animals: How are wild animals, sedentary animals, migratory animals, companion animals, and many others affected by forces of climate change, such as drought, the encroaching rise in sea levels, availability of food, accessibility of space, habitability, maintenance of borders, and securitization? Climate change also creates winners, so are there animals who will be better off? Will climate change do more good or harm to animals, and how can we tell?
Second, examine how humanity’s actions in response to climate change are affecting animals: Are there examples of how either mitigation or adaptation strategies/policies have been explicitly designed to reduce harmful impacts on animals? Do these examples raise moral dilemmas – for example, do they involve sacrificing the interests of individual animals to benefit the species (as in captive breeding or forced relocation)? Are there examples of how mitigation/adaptation policies are in fact exacerbating the harmful impacts for particular animals (or where policies designed to benefit certain animals impose costs on other animals)? Stepping back from individual policies, are there examples of how animals’ interests are being institutionalized within decision-making processes around climate change (e.g., via animal representatives or advocates or audits)?
69] – On Fri., Nov. 20 from 9 AM to 9 PM, get with the Climate Strikes vs. Chase Bank Every Friday! Flatten the climate pollution curve together!

Check in at http://masspeaceaction.org/event/the-fundamentals-of-communicating-about-climate-change-education-community-action/?emci=49e1e0b9-4428-eb11-9fb4-00155d03affc&emdi=5e743e6e-4628-eb11-9fb4-00155d03affc&ceid=269591. Ever try to communicate something that’s really important to someone and you just don’t know how to get them to listen -- let alone get them to take action? It’s climate change. It’s real. It’s all around us. It’s not political. And it requires action. Delve into topics together such as framing language that leads to successful connections in communication, how education around climate change exists currently in our lives & communities and how it can be improved upon, and how to spark communication into action in others as well as within ourselves. Tired of unsuccessful communication around climate change? The registration link is at https://bit.ly/34Qzpy7/. Contact Isabella (Izzy) Luca at isabella@climatecrew.org with questions.

81] – On Sat., Nov. 21 at 10:30 AM EST, join a March for Housing at 801 E. Fayette St., Baltimore 21202-4712, hosted by Housing Our Neighbors, United Workers and 9 others. During the worst pandemic in a generation, the failures of our housing system have been pulled to the forefront. Thousands are struggling to pay their rent and Baltimore City continues to warehouse our homeless community in toxic conditions with inadequate and often absent hygiene (no soap, insufficient hot water, broken toilets). City leadership is currently planning to return shelter residents to pre-Covid congregate shelter settings in December, a plan that will surely lead to more infections, illnesses, and loss of life. We cannot let this happen. The demands are An immediate halt to the City’s plan to return people to congregate shelters by December, A permanent housing plan so that residents are returned to housing and not shelters and A winter shelter plan that gets rid of temperature cut offs and provides an equitable amount of beds to women, youth, and trans folks. Join in calling on Mayor Young and City leadership to #emptytheshelters, to provide safe and stable housing for all and #canceltherent so that no more people are made homeless at this time. This is a moment for all of us to show the world that Baltimore City believes #housingasahumanright! All COVID safety protocols with regards to masks and social distancing will be followed. All march participants must wear a mask for the event. Go to https://www.facebook.com/HousingOurNeighbors/.

83] – Our Revolution Maryland [info@ourrevolution.com] on Sat., Nov. 21 from noon to 1 PM is promoting a Special Briefing with Senator Turner! Senator Nina Turner is always compelling, so hear a lively conversation with Our Revolution Maryland Chair Bob Muehlenkamp. In light of Joe Biden's election, a Conversation on Neoliberalism could not be timelier. Despite his "Joe from Scranton" persona, Biden has far too often sided with corporations and Wall Street against workers and Main Street. Senator Turner will explain how pro-corporate/anti-labor/deregulatory policies, i.e., neoliberalism, brought on the current political and economic crises and what we need to do to address them. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/ourrevolution/event/268540/?akid=811.8252965.7jnysR&rd=1&t=9

86] – On Sat., Nov. 21 at 4 PM ET, get with Youth Against Empire, a new formation of young anti-imperialist, anti-racist activists from the United National Antiwar Coalition to chart a path forward for the antiwar movement. With the election of a new president, the U.S. wars aren't stopping. From more than 800 foreign military bases to sanctions on 39 countries, from bombings and drone strikes to proxy wars and coups, both parties have firmly supported the U.S. war machine abroad. In the USA, there is rampant police violence, political repression, evictions, poverty, and a failing healthcare system. The only solution is the fight back of working and oppressed people against U.S. wars at home and abroad. Keep it in the streets against U.S. war!

94] – 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.
