23] – Join the Freedom to
Vote Act Phonebank with Common Cause. Work together to demand bold changes to
our alleged democracy to create a government that represents all of us, not big
corporations or special interests. Call voters in targeted states and connect
them to their Senators to support the Freedom to Vote Act and eliminate the
filibuster. These phone banks are subject to change based on variables outside
of our control (i.e. a Senator's mailbox is full). On Mon., Jan. 24 from 4 to 6
PM and 6 to 8 PM EST, connect AZ voters to Sen. Sinema to ask that she does
everything possible to pass the Freedom to Vote Act including fixing the
filibuster. On Tues., Jan. 25 from 4 to 6 PM ET, connect WV voters to Sen.
Manchin to ask that he does everything possible to pass the Freedom to Vote Act
including fixing the filibuster. Register at https://www.mobilize.us/commoncause/event/376178/.

25] – Sheila Ruth and Barrie Friedland [info@email.actionnetwork.org] are reminding us about a meeting on Mon., Jan. 24 at 5:30 PM --- Climate and Environmental Justice - Our Revolution Baltimore City/County. This year, we've seen the climate crisis writ large across the world in heat domes, extreme wildfires, superstorms and mega-hurricanes, flooding, and more. The IPCC has said that the climate crisis is now inevitable and irreversible, but only drastic and immediate action can prevent the worst consequences that would come with exceeding 1.5C. Climate change and other environmental consequences don't fall on everyone equally; communities of color and lower income communities are hardest hit due to systemic injustices. Jamie DeMarco from the Chesapeake Climate Action Network (CCAN) will tell us about CCAN's priority climate legislation, and Nina Beth Cardin, Director of the Maryland Campaign for Environmental Human Rights will talk about the Environmental Human Rights amendment.
