47] – The Progressive Caucus Action Fund [info@progressivecaucusactionfund.org] wants your involvement in a webinar on Thurs., July 21 at 1 PM ET. How do we build power through progressive messaging?

Sign up at https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/445906/?followup_modal_context=nonexclusive_newsletter_most_popular_virtual. Talk with voters about electing Pennsylvania Democrats up and down the ballot!  You'll need a computer, reliable internet service and a browser program, such as Firefox or Chrome.

50] – Karen Guberman <krguberman @ gmail.com> has announced the next protest of the Uyghur genocide will take place on Thurs., July 21 at 5:30 PM ET. Meet at Adas Israel, 2850 Quebec St. NW, WDC, near the Garden of the Righteous and walk to the Chinese Embassy (the corner of Van Ness and International Drive).  As the fight for rights in our country becomes ever more important, we must not forget the rights of Uyghurs and other minorities in China.  Genocide can never be overlooked.  Genocide can never be ignored.

51] –CPD Action [info@cpdaction.org] will teach you how to birddog on Thurs., July 21 at 6 PM ET. Birddog elected officials and candidates! RSVP at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIuf-6qrD0iHtcAfkhjeLxc92xuEUg3_g-G?utm_source=CPDA&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=BND+Signups. Birddogging is both an art and a science. As members of Congress kick-off their campaign for re-election this summer, show up at every possible event to ask that they commit to expanding the Supreme Court, protecting our healthcare and privacy rights, and safekeeping our democracy. 

52] –  The Center for Popular Democracy [cpdclimate@populardemocracy.org] will hold a  Climate Defenders National Call on Thurs., July 21 at 6 PM EST. Profits prioritized over people calls for organizing. We must make sure the politicians who were helped get elected in 2020 are going to ask for help so they keep their jobs.  Let them know they have to deliver on the massive investments needed to move away from fossil fuels to create millions of good jobs to replace lead pipes, protect homes from extreme weather, expand railways, and manufacture and install solar panels and wind turbines and much more.  Register to make summer calls every Thursday. Sign up at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEtf-2oqTwqHtKELtrIWuoQlwiD4nXYwWoy.

53] – Our Revolution [info@ourrevolution.com] would like you to phone bank on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 6:30 to 8:30 PM ET. There are more than 8 million voters across the country who identify as progressive. These numbers suggest progressives can win at every level of government, but the voters must go to the polls! Sign up to join the Our Revolution phone bank force at https://www.mobilize.us/ourrevolution/event/440081/?akid=2556.8252965.t1Ai8m&rd=1&t=11. Sign up for Thurs., July 21.

54] – Massachusetts Peace Action [info@masspeaceaction.org] is hosting on Thurs., July 21 at 7 PM ET an Iran Deal Update with Assad Rad and others. Register at bit.ly/Iran-Deal-Update. A year and a half into the presidency of Joe Biden, the United States continues to stay out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action. Violating both international norms and his own campaign promises, President Biden has wasted time and threatened to scotch one of Barack Obama’s greatest foreign policy achievements.

55] – Maya Berry [mayaberry@aaiusa.org] tells us there is a special event on Thurs., July 21 at 7 PM ET -- How to Help Stop Election Sabotage. Hear from guest speakers from Scrutineers.org. Plans to challenge individual voters, eliminate or severely limit ballot drop boxes, and attempts to stop votes from being counted are all in the works. We can’t stand by and watch while our freedom to vote is threatened! Did you know that in most places the processing and counting of votes is open for observation, yet hardly anyone shows up to make sure everything is done fairly and accurately?  The training is one hour, including Q&A.  Register at https://scrutineers.org/events/how-to-help-stop-election-sabotage/ https://scrutineers.org/events/how-to-help-stop-election-sabotage/?emci=c0508b2a-d802-ed11-b47a-281878b83d8a&emdi=7f8d5b14-3108-ed11-b47a-281878b83d8a&ceid=389907.

56] – Mike Fox for Progressive Democrats of America [info@pdamerica.org] hopes you can join in on Thurs., July 21 at 7:30 PM ET for a Jan. 6 Committee Hearing live watch event.  Committee hearings on the January 6th insurrection have brilliantly shown that culpability goes far beyond those who stormed the Capitol itself. Register at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZAudemrrDovHNGBYMTJRHN3rPeS3BLB-8U-.

57] – Public Citizen [action@citizen.org] believes you are interested in the House January 6th Committee’s public hearings.  There is one scheduled on Thurs., July 21 from 7:30 to 10 PM ET. Join Public Citizen as the Committee will reveal new evidence, and has already provided overwhelming proof that Trump and his MAGA allies planned, promoted, and paid for a multi-step criminal conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 Election.  Watch the next January 6th Hearing together and hear from experts about key takeaways from these historic hearings. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/jan6hearings/event/468945/?utm_source=PC&eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=eb96adca-a63f-4aad-a8b8-97bff610db0a.
