20] – Fr. John Dear <communications@beatitudescenter.org> is welcoming Robert Ellsberg to speak on Dorothy Day's Catholic Worker writings on Sat. July 23 at 2 PM ET. Long ago in the 1970s, Robert worked for one of the greatest saints--Dorothy Day. She asked young Robert Ellsberg to edit the Catholic Worker newspaper. Since her death in 1980, Robert has edited her diaries, letters, writings, and now, her famous “On Pilgrimage” columns in two new volumes, “Dorothy Day: On Pilgrimage: The Sixties,” and “Dorothy Day: On Pilgrimage: The Seventies,” (both available from Orbis Books). These two great books gather her best writings from those last two turbulent decades in her life. Ellsberg will focus Day’s Catholic Worker columns from the 1960s and 1970s. You can register for this program at www.beatitudescenter.org. Registration closes on Monday, July 18th. You will receive the zoom link a few days before, and a recording link a few days afterward. Email Kassandra at beatitudescentermb@gmail.com.

25] – There is an urgent need to educate the public about the growing danger of nuclear war and what we can do about it. Many of us want to help with this education but feel uncomfortable doing public speaking on this issue. On Mondays, July 18 and 25 at 7 PM ET, take a Nuclear Disarmament Speaker Training with Ira Helfand. Each session will last 60 to 90 minutes. In the first session there will be a brief sample presentation about the nuclear danger and what people can do, followed by a group discussion of the questions that audiences frequently pose at such presentations. This will be followed by short break out sessions to identify what other information people need to speak on their own. At the second session each participant will have the opportunity to do a brief presentation of their own on one aspect of the topic with feedback from the group.
Registrants will receive a sample Power Point and a list of FAQ’s with possible answers. Helfand is the immediate past president of the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW), which won the 1985 Nobel Peace Prize, and is the cofounder and past president of Physicians for Social Responsibility, IPPNW’s US affiliate.

These phone banks are subject to change based on variables outside of our control (i.e. a Senator's mailbox is full).
On Sundays, call voters in Michigan to recruit them for events happening around their state. On Tuesdays (in partnership with Newburyport Indivisible-RISE), call New Hampshire voters to connect them with Gov. Sununu and encourage him to veto SB 418.
