30] – People's Action [info@peoplesaction.org] hopes you will be available on Mon., Sept. 19 and Tues., Sept. 20 from 6 to 9 PM ET. This two-part Deep Canvass Skills Series training includes script structure, compassionate curiosity, storytelling, and assertiveness. Deep canvassing is one of the only tactics scientifically proven to reduce prejudice, inoculate people against fear-based messaging, and change hearts and minds on our most divisive issues in a way that lasts. Build a future where everyone can thrive, but to do that, we must heal the wounds inflicted by the people who want to divide us for profit. The strategy is called deep canvassing, which is about creating mutual understanding grounded in lived experience, instead of in debate or talking points. Deep canvassing was developed by organizers and volunteers in the LGBTQ rights movement as a way to turn the tide of a decade of losses at the ballot box.

31] – The UMass Amherst History Department [communications@history.umass.edu] thinks you would be interested in a webinar US Policy in the Global South on Mon., Sept. 19 at 7 PM. As part of the Feinberg Series Keynote, hear from Rigoberta Menchú Tum, Vincent Bevins & Amy Goodman. Register at https://blogs.umass.edu/feinberg/menchu/. Throughout the twentieth century, the United States trained and financed military regimes to crush reformist and revolutionary movements. This keynote will explore the devastating consequences of U.S.-backed state terror in Central America and Southeast Asia. In Central America alone, U.S. intervention from 1960-1996 led to the deaths of over 300,000 people. U.S.-backed dictatorships in Guatemala and Indonesia killed more than a million people accused of revolutionary activism. At the same time, throughout the Global South, rural workers led powerful movements against U.S.-backed regimes to win basic rights.

35] – Our Veterans, Wounds of War is happening on Mon., Sept. 19 from 7 to 8 PM ET. In their new book Our Veterans: Winners, Losers, Friends, and Enemies on the New Terrain of Veterans Affairs, Suzanne Gordon, Steve Early, and Jasper Craven explore the physical, emotional, social, economic, and psychological impact of military service and the problems that veterans face when they return to civilian life. The authors critically examine the role of advocacy organizations, philanthropies, corporations, and politicians who purport to be “pro-veteran.” They describe the ongoing debate about the cost, quality, and effectiveness of healthcare provided or outsourced by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). They also examine generational divisions and political tensions among veterans, as revealed in the tumultuous events of 2020, from Black Lives Matter protests to the Trump-Biden presidential contest. Frank and revealing, Our Veterans proposes a new agenda for veterans’ affairs linking service provision to veterans to the quest for broader social programs benefiting all Americans.
Suzanne Gordon is Senior Policy Analyst at the Veterans Healthcare Policy Institute and the author of many books. Steve Early is a freelance journalist, labor organizer, lawyer, and the author of, most recently, Refinery Town: Big Oil, Big Money, and the Remaking of an American City.

37] – Susan Barnett [reelandmealatnewdealcafe@gmail.com] wants you to know about Reel and Meal taking place on Mon., Sept. 19 at 7 PM ET. See the film Suppressed and Sabotaged: The Fight to Vote at the New Deal Café, 113 Centerway (Roosevelt Center) in Greenbelt, MD. Masks are encouraged. You can also participate on Zoom.
Register at https://tinyurl.com/ReelnMealSept19. The organizers encourage you to purchase a vegan meal to support the mission focused on environmental, social justice and animal rights issues. A vegan meal option costs $7.99 at the COOP. Call 301 474 0522 by 1 PM, and pick up is from 4 to 7 PM.
Suppressed and Sabotaged: The Fight to Vote (2022) focuses on the new voter laws that make it difficult for minorities and rural populations to vote in the 2022 midterm elections. Twelve states have introduced 96 bills to restrict voting and 13 states have introduced 41 bills to undercut election administration. The film uses the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial race between Stacey Abrams and Brian Kemp as a deplorable example of today’s voter suppression laws. It also includes perspectives from voters in Arizona, Florida, and Texas about how these unconstitutional and racist measures impact their right to vote. Nicole Williams, State Delegate for District 22, will lead the discussion following the film. Delegate Williams has been a member of the Maryland Bar since 2002 and currently serves on the Judiciary Committee in Annapolis. She will focus on ways to save our fragile democracy and begin to heal the deep divisions in our country.
The Reel and Meal at the New Deal is a monthly film series focused on environmental, social justice and animal rights issues, presented by Utopia Film Festival, the Prince George’s County Peace and Justice Coalition and Beaverdam Creek Watershed Watch Group.
