–For many Native Peoples, Thanksgiving is a
complex day. For some, mourn and protest as this day evokes the legacy of
colonialism and the intentional false narratives about the relationship between
Indigenous Peoples, early settlers and the Land. For some, honor survival
against genocide and reclaim this time to celebrate the sovereignty and
self-determination we’ve protected despite all odds. By acknowledging the
true history of this holiday and supporting LANDBACK, you can support the
healing. If you are called to take
action to build Indigenous power, here are three suggestions: 1. Sign
this petition to return the sacred Black Hills to the original stewards and
close Mt. Rushmore: https://actionnetwork.org/petitions/petition-to-close-mt-rushmore-and-return-all-public-lands-in-the-black-hills-to-the-oceti-sakowin?emci=f155270f-0430-eb11-9fb4-00155d43b2cd&emdi=caa8f1b8-0430-eb11-9fb4-00155d43b2cd&ceid=177631.
2. Sign the Climate Mandate and call for the Biden Administration to appoint
Representative Deb Haaland as Secretary of the Interior: https://climatemandate.org/?emci=f155270f-0430-eb11-9fb4-00155d43b2cd&emdi=caa8f1b8-0430-eb11-9fb4-00155d43b2cd&ceid=177631#signup.
3. Amplify the #LANDBACK campaign and join this movement for collective
liberation: https://landback.org/?emci=f155270f-0430-eb11-9fb4-00155d43b2cd&emdi=caa8f1b8-0430-eb11-9fb4-00155d43b2cd&ceid=177631.
43] – 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.

49] –Over a quarter-million Americans have died of COVID-19, and millions remain without health care. Thirty million workers have lost their jobs or significant hours of work, and nearly every state is facing sharp drops in revenue that will threaten even more cuts to essential social programs and jobs. Millions of poor and low-income households are also facing mounting bills, evictions, and hunger after months of unemployment, cuts in wages, and the government’s failure to pass a comprehensive COVID-relief package. Ending the suffering of our families and communities is a moral mandate to all who are tasked with governance now and in the New Year. On Fri., Nov. 27 at 2:30 PM ET, there will be a rebroadcast of this week’s Moral Monday Remembrance Caravans from around the country including in Maryland. You’ll hear from caravans and testifiers in all 24 state capitals, like University of Mississippi student Olivia Womack who has lost 11 members in her family to COVID-19: “Our governor was the last to enact a mask mandate and the first to lift it.” Watch the livestream at https://www.facebook.com/anewppc?emci=15b74797-6b2f-eb11-9fb4-00155d43b2cd&emdi=4214b10d-702f-eb11-9fb4-00155d43b2cd&ceid=2588083.

58] – 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.

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
