32] – Join the Baltimore Nonviolence Center on Tues., Nov. 29 from 4 to 5 PM ET at 33rd and N. Charles Sts. The invasion of Ukraine has the potential to become a war extending throughout Europe.  Putin has destroyed Aleppo and Grozny and has threatened the use of nuclear weapons.  Russian soldiers were sent into the area around the contaminated and still radioactive Chernobyl nuclear plant. Now they are stationed in the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe.   People who believe in peace and justice should come forward and take the risks of peace. The burial sites continue to expose ruthless war crimes by the invaders, Contact Max at mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net or 410-323-1607.

33] – Tam Doan [info@cpdaction.org] wants you to join in on Tues., Nov. 29 at 6:30 PM ET for a How-to guide on finding strength through community. The Supreme Court is about to hear a case that attacks our freedom to vote and to choose leaders who will deliver for our communities. The conservatives behind this case are not only asking the Court to uphold their unfair district maps; they want the Court to adopt the same far-fetched, far-right theory Trump tried to use to overturn the 2020 election (the Independent State Legislature theory). Tune in at https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_LFPGAeI_SHS4coRjm0xAFA?utm_source=Zoom&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=VRD.
