50] – Jo Shifrin [info@jufj.org] wants you to get involved on Wed.,

General Assembly will be considering the Time to Care Act, a bill that will
provide people with paid leave. So join with Jews United for Justice and its
partners in the Time to Care Coalition. Register at https://jufj.org/event/md-intersession-pfml/?sourceid=1020679&utm_campaign=iis&utm_medium=ea&utm_source=standalone&emci=dcaf127c-19eb-eb11-a7ad-501ac57b8fa7&emdi=92e9eddd-0eee-eb11-a7ad-501ac57b8fa7&ceid=3403859

51] – Real Justice [info@realjusticepac.org] needs your help on Wed., July 28 from 8 to 11 PM ET to take on a right-wing, police-backed effort against justice. More dates will follow. In about three years, the dangerous recall effort targeting Chesa Boudin faces the deadline to turn in 51,325 valid signatures – which would trigger a recall election. Do not let them succeed. The recall election would attempt to overturn a free and fair election, cost taxpayers at least a million dollars, and turn back historic progress on issues of justice and real public safety solutions. The best way to fight back is to join a Stand with Chesa virtual phone bank to reach as many San Francisco voters as possible with the truth. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/chesaantirecall/event/399637/?source=em20210721-65792-rj&utm_source=em20210721-65792-rj.
52] – Until there’s justice for Palestinian people to stay in their homeland, no peace and quiet for Congress in their homes and home districts. For the next month, with a coalition of 11 Palestine partner organizations, plan to make noise in the streets and online to raise the alarm for Jerusalem and all of Palestine through protests, local campaigns, and social media. Put pressure on leading Democrats responsible for perpetuating the U.S. role in ethnic cleansing. Demand an end to U.S. military funding to Israel once and for all, starting with passing H.R. 2590 to stop funding home demolitions, child detention, and continual Israeli annexation and land theft. Join the social media storm and plan your next action. At noon ET on Thurs., July 29, get loud on social media with #MakeNoiseForJerusalem. Tweet your reps to stop funding these expulsions now, and shame the silent Democratic leadership who are reprehensibly complicit in Israel’s apartheid and ethnic cleansing. Find everything you need in the toolkit at bit.ly/JerusalemActionMonth, which will be continuously updated with new information and planned actions this month.
53] – The National Religious Campaign Against Torture [nrcatlist@nrcat.org] wants you to join a webinar on Thurs., July 29 at 2 PM ET that is about a federal Blueprint to End Solitary Confinement. The webinar will include discussion of the recently released federal Blueprint to End Solitary and action steps you can take to push for the Administration and Congress to end solitary in federal prisons and detention and incentivize states to do the same. President Biden and Vice President Harris pledged to end solitary confinement in their campaign platforms, and Members of Congress have called for an end to solitary. Yet, over 10,000 people are still locked in solitary in federal prisons on a given day, and people continue to die in solitary. RSVP at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYrdOirqjoiHdIfAFhmHd4PD8J45sG3S3TT.
54] – Join activists around the country at a virtual phonebank to urge voters in key states to demand their senators’ support of the For the People Act! The August deadline for 2022 is fast approaching! Our democracy is in crisis: with redistricting around the corner and hundreds of voter suppression laws being introduced in states across the country, we do not have time to wait. Every day we’re getting closer to a very real deadline to take action to pass the For the People Act (S.1): If the Senate does not overcome the filibuster and pass S. 1 by late August, states will not have enough time to implement the legislation’s regulations before the 2022 midterm elections! Join activists around the country at a virtual phonebank to urge voters in key states to demand their senators’ support of S. 1! RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/pfaw/event/376178/?utm_source=PFAW to call on Thurs., July 29 from 3 to 6 PM ET or 6 to 8 PM ET.

56] – Economic Policy Institute [newsletter@epi.org] is having a discussion on Thurs., July 29 from 4 to 5:30 PM ET about How wage suppression was caused by policy decisions made on behalf of the rich and corporations. The divergence between productivity and the growth of pay for typical workers over the last four decades was no accident. A loss of $10/hour in the typical worker’s compensation is the result of employers’ successful efforts to keep wage growth down over the past 40 years, as documented by Lawrence Mishel and Josh Bivens in Identifying the Policy Levers Generating Wage Suppression and Wage Inequality. This paper explains why workers’ pay has lagged far behind the growth in productivity over the period from 1979 to 2017. The findings have gotten national attention, including in a New York Times article about the paper, “Middle-Class Pay Lost Pace. Is Washington to Blame?” Join a webinar featuring leading experts on wage suppression and wage inequality who will delve into the seminal report’s findings and provide proposals on how we can eliminate wage suppression: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_OuZY8gu-TjOlQpe3iPdMiA?utm_source=Economic+Policy+Institute&utm_campaign=51936e844f-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_10_02_06_32_COPY_01&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_e7c5826c50-51936e844f-59830565&mc_cid=51936e844f&mc_eid=72ea77dbdd.
