Clarence Dixon is scheduled to be killed in revenge for his 1977 killing of Deana Bowdoin, a 21-year-old Arizona State University student. We do not excuse his crime, however, Clarence Dixon suffers from serious mental illness as well as significant physical disabilities, including blindness. He is not a threat to anyone. If it takes place as scheduled, this would be the state’s first execution in eight years. Clarence Dixon has been on death row more than 40 years. Register for the Virtual Vigil to begin at noon ET. This will be a live, informative and prayerful on-line vigil and will continue until the execution is either stayed or completed: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_FgWbXz6_Sfiqq0AZY2pHcg?link_id=1&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&source=email-execution-on-wednesday-in-az&email_referrer=email_1537872&email_subject=execution-on-wednesday-in-az.
36] – On Wed., May 11 at 12:30 PM ET, discover Nuclear Princeton -- Radioactive Waste, Princeton, & the Navajo Nation [Online]. Titration: Radioactive Waste, Princeton, & the Navajo Nation is a short animated film that explores how Princeton has directly contributed to nuclear research with destructive consequences for Native communities. The film focuses on Nathaniel Furman (1892-1965), a Princeton professor of chemistry who was involved in the Manhattan Project and the creation of the atomic bomb. His work on nuclear science and technology supported uranium mining and purification for weapons use and contributed to radioactive waste contamination in the Navajo Nation, which has harmed Navajo environmental and human health. Titration is part of the Nuclear Princeton project on the intersection between Indigenous peoples, nuclear things, and Princeton University, and is supported by the Program on Science and Global Security. The project brings together underrepresented groups of undergraduates, particularly indigenous students, to reimagine how Princeton science, technology, and engineering has shaped the nuclear age and its impacts on Native lands, communities, and beyond. Students from Nuclear Princeton will present the film (see trailer) and discuss the issues around it. The sponsor is Princeton University Science & Global Security. The speakers are Jessica Lambert, Choctaw Nation; Keely Toledo, Navajo Nation; Brooke Kennedy, Walpole Island First Nation; Travis Chai Andrade, Kanaka Maoli; Ryo Morimoto, Princeton University.

39] – The Union of Concerned Scientists [action@ucsusa.org] needs you on Wed., May 11 at 2 PM ET. Learn about how you can hold Chevron accountable. This webinar will focus on Chevron’s 2022 shareholder resolutions and learn about how investors can advance corporate accountability. The latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change could not make it clearer that we need to rapidly phase out fossil fuels and accelerate the shift to clean energy. Yet fossil fuel companies, including Chevron, continue to wield their political influence to stand in the way of climate action—as well as inflict pollution, environmental injustices, and human rights abuses on communities around the world. Chevron must be held accountable.
The Union of Concerned Scientists and partner organizations invite you to a virtual conversation on Chevron's poor track record on climate, disinformation, human rights, environmental & racial justice, and corporate governance. Join us—along with Amazon Watch, Investor Advocates for Social Justice, Majority Action, Newground Social Investment, Sierra Club, and the Sisters of St. Francis of Philadelphia—on May 11 to learn about several proposals put forward by investor advocacy groups to advance corporate accountability at Chevron.
