Rights [web@email.phr.org] is hosting COVID-19 Recovery and the Right to Health

45] – Beth Schuman [beth@afcfp.org] is inviting you to a briefing on Thurs., June 10 at 1:30 PM on Sheikh Jarrah. Explore the root causes of the recent violence, in conversation with Combatants for Peace activist Shai Goren and Sheikh Jarrah community leader, Saleh Diab. Join in at https://secure.everyaction.com/xwlALHxqBEeoc-nWpaAMvg2?emci=f0a691c5-75c8-eb11-a7ad-501ac57b8fa7&emdi=0aa4d94d-74c9-eb11-a7ad-501ac57b8fa7&ceid=8142762.
46] – On Thurs., June 10 at 1:30 ET, check out The US Regime Change Agenda: Hypocrisy and Double Standards with Francisco Dominguez (Venezuela Solidarity Campaign, UK), Teri Mattson (Code Pink), and John Perry, who lives in Nicaragua. Sign up at https://www.tickettailor.com/events/nicaraguasolidaritycampaignactiongroup/524013?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=a7e2d6ad-0a5a-4bd4-bc40-ebf6b771bd0c. The webinar will examine the methods employed by the US to undermine democracy and effect regime change in Nicaragua. It will highlight the parallels with what occurred in the US in January 2021, when reactions to similar attempts to undermine US democracy in a violent way were markedly different.
47] – Rev. Jennifer Butler, Faith in Public Life Action [commongood@faithinpubliclife.org] wants you to get involved on Thurs., June 10 at 2 PM ET for a Holy Recovery Media and Moral Messaging Training. Right now, our nation’s policies are morally off track. Negotiations in Congress on legislative solutions are stalling as we give tax breaks to the rich and working families struggle to keep their kids in childcare and food on their tables. People of faith can shape a moral message that pushes our elected officials to honor the dignity of all people and build a democracy that truly reflects us and our values. Register at http://fpl.actionkit.com/cms/thanks/Holy-Recovery-messaging-Training?action_id=944666&akid=3802.87934.3ZjcaT&ar=1&rd=1&taf=1.
48] – Check in on Activist, Political Prisoner: Dr Sami Al-Arian on Thurs., June 10 from 3 to 4:30 PM EDT. Al-Arian is from a Palestinian family expelled from their home in 1948. Eventually Dr Al-Arian arrived in the States where he was a professor of Computer Engineering at the University of South Florida. A community leader, advocating for just reform on behalf of his community and the public, Dr Al-Arian was also a successful activist and organizer, getting significant bipartisan support for ending the government’s use of secret evidence. However, in the aftermath of 9/11, as anti-Muslim, anti-Arab, and anti-Palestinian hysteria ran rampant across the country, the Bush administration targeted and persecuted Dr Al-Arian. Imprisoned unjustly for years, despite his innocence, Dr Al-Arian struck a deal with prosecutors, pleading to a trumped-up lesser charge and deportation, in exchange for being freed from imprisonment. With Israel occupying his native homeland, Dr Al-Arian ultimately gained asylum in Turkey, from where he joins us. Register at https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0kfu-srD4sHtbGAueOE_190fb8cn_bvwgL.

51] – Tallie Ben Daniel [info@jewishvoiceforpeace.org] wants you to witness this historic moment in the Palestinian struggle. For decades, Israel and American Zionist institutions have worked to fragment the Palestinian people and their struggle across Israel/'48, East Jerusalem, and Gaza. In recent weeks the unified Palestinian uprising has shown the world that they will not be divided in their struggle for liberation. As Palestinians share their stories and advocate for their rights on social media, more Americans are being forced to face the reality of Israeli apartheid—and our government’s role in funding it. This dramatic shift in public opinion means we have the opportunity to push our representatives in an entirely new way. In this moment of promise, we are turning to our Palestinian partners for clarity and direction.
Join in on Thurs., June 10 at 4 PM ET to hear from three Palestinian activists who will provide an update on the Palestinian struggle in Silwan in East Jerusalem, Gaza, and inside ‘48. RSVP at https://act.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/a/updates-silwan-and-gaza?contactdata=L2W2xYGp05cdrHn51mzeGRS48IYV6qra8CTTnDfozsGpink6VD37Hmql94m7EWYGlOgzHqWoioJCWADdqM4kmu922pA0SRahA1cYc8Y0rq76bfEqIpoiJU314R%2fdYs6%2f5O6XfZ%2bFaEgdkw%2fDk6nPM2rJIz1u2N3XWA7X2LEQ3kN5GXyrcACxtMuDxvXMiqWfUZ2BKOV8Vdcca4wdEY2pmApZqkf1Fbtj%2bKwg9k9Cfq2YJ3bqB2S31d%2fGezgESP3EN4yvizbXOBe41srTG3t6Og%3d%3d&emci=ce00d5d1-5bc9-eb11-a7ad-501ac57b8fa7&emdi=5752dc52-5dc9-eb11-a7ad-501ac57b8fa7&ceid=237778.
52] – Rep. John Sarbanes will hold a Live Telephone Town Hall on Thurs., June 10 at 5:30 PM ET. He claims he will answer "your questions about the important issues facing our nation." Please get on the call to confirm if he will answer questions about the bloated military budget, the absurdity of developing new nuclear weapons and providing more than $3 billion for Israel to buy US weapons used on the Palestinian community. This was in the promotion for the event: "If you'd like to ask a question, or if you'd just like to listen in, please sign up here: https://sarbanes.house.gov/telephone-town-hall-form-thank-you." I signed up, but did not have an option to ask a question. You can also livestream the event at https://sarbanes.house.gov/live.
53] – We Have a Do-or-Die, Time-Limited Chance to Defeat White Supremacy and Big Money. If you want equal protection so that every voter counts the same regardless of color, income, age, or neighborhood, now is the time to act. If you want freedom from the influence of big money, now is the time to act. In the next months, action by people like you can create a groundswell to pass three major bills (see details in box below). One of them (S. 1) would provide sweeping reforms to end special-interest corruption in our government. Congress must act early this summer or partisan redistricting – based on a flawed census – will have happened. The House of Representatives has the votes to pass these bills, and they can pass the Senate, too - but only if We the People let our senators know how we feel.
If these bills do not pass, action by some state legislatures will reduce the freedom to vote for targeted populations. Get Money Out – Maryland (GMOM) founded For the People – Maryland with 20 other groups to fight for these principles in the U.S. Congress. Therefore, the filibuster rule will need to change to allow these bills to pass with a simple majority.
While there are several Senators who haven’t formally committed, people in-the-know say if we can convince WV Senator Joe Manchin, the others will come along. Opponents are putting lots of money into WV, and we need to fight back. WV residents tell us that Manchin is often willing to do a 180 degree turn if he gets enough pressure. Volunteers asking his constituents to contact him could trigger the biggest reform since the Voting Rights Act of 1965. Make calls to WV residents on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Please sign up to call on Thurs., June 10 from 6 to 8 PM ET and try to convince one friend to do so also! There is good training and support throughout! Go to https://www.mobilize.us/vopropros/event/389987/. CALL WEST VIRGINIANS.
54] – On Thurs., June 10 at 6 PM ET, there will be a reception for John and Gabriel Shipton, the father and brother of Julian Assange.

55] – Ali Greenberg [info@email.actionnetwork.org] is inviting you to attend on Thurs., June 10 at 7 PM ET Breaking Barriers to Vaccinate Billions: A Roadmap for Global Vaccine Equity.
