26] – On Dec. 5, the Supreme Court will hear oral arguments in 303 Creative v. Elenis, a case involving whether states can protect LGBTQ people from discrimination in public accommodations. The Court is being asked to let people with religious objections to such laws opt out, a result that could seriously weaken existing anti-discrimination provisions and ultimately allow the exception to swallow the rule. Join experts from Americans United for the Separation of Church and State, Demand Justice, Lambda Legal, Legal Defense Fund, and National Women's Law Center to discuss the case and the impact that it could have on LGBTQ equality and anti-discrimination laws nationwide.

27] – Join the Baltimore Nonviolence Center on Tues., Dec. 6 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.

Guest co-host Col. Ann Wright, former US deputy ambassador to Afghanistan, will be among the moderators.

32] –On Wed., Dec. 7 at 9AM, Common Cause wants you get involved in a protest -- No Lawless Lawmakers: Moore v. Harper Rally at the Supreme Court, 1 First St. NE, WDC 20543. The Supreme Court will hear Moore v. Harper, a redistricting case where North Carolina lawmakers argue state legislatures should have near absolute power to run federal elections without checks and balances from the courts. Moore could make it easier for politicians to restrict the vote, draw rigged maps, and cast doubt on election results. That means it will be harder to turn public demands into public policy from we, the people, wanting higher wages to healthcare for all. It's time to fight back and say no to lawless lawmakers. At the U.S. Supreme Court, show that folks all around the country are against attempts to destroy our well-established checks and balances and sow chaos and doubt in our elections! If you have any questions, email Herb Meisner at hmeisner@commoncause.org. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/dfadcoalition/event/543337/?followup_modal_context=organization_newsletter_custom_recommendations.
