46] –
This is a call for solidarity with Russian anti-war
activists by Ilya Budraitskis on behalf of The Russian Socialist Movement. For over a
decade, Russian antifascists have commemorated January 19 as their day of
solidarity. This is the date when in 2009, in the center of Moscow, the human
rights and leftist activist Stanislav Markelov and the journalist and anarchist
Anastasia Baburova were gunned down by neo-Nazis. The murder of Markelov and
Baburova became the culmination of the ultra-right terror of the 2000s, which
killed hundreds of migrants and dozens of anti-fascists. For many years, while
it was still possible, Russian activists held antifascist demonstrations and
rallies on January 19 under the slogan “To remember is to fight!” As Russian
activists forced to leave Russia for political reasons, we ask our foreign
comrades and all those who care to support the antifascist action on January
19. We ask you to send us information
about any solidarity actions during the week of January 19-24 – pickets, open
meetings, online discussions, and even personal photos with posters – by e-mail
at rsdzoom@proton.me.
47] – Beyond Extreme Energy [info@beyondextremeenergy.org] hopes to Stop Manchin's FERC on Thurs., Jan. 19 at 9 AM ET with an action at 888 First St. NE, WDC 20002. Sign up at https://cryptpad.fr/form/#/2/form/view/RAHw16kR0uUANMpb6KS-Pq3fsw5tmiWb8xOvklOhLtQ/?link_id=0&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&source=email-corrected-link-stop-manchins-ferc-january-19th-action-in-dc&email_referrer=email_1787899&email_subject=stop-manchins-ferc-january-19th-action-in-dc. Corrupt coal baron, Senator Joe Manchin, now effectively controls FERC, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. On the morning of January 19th, when the FERC commissioners have their monthly meeting, we will take action in front of the FERC DC headquarters in DC demanding that Manchin be removed as head of the Senate committee which oversees FERC.
FERC needs to stop being a rubber stamp agency for the methane gas industry. Yet last March, after FERC under the leadership of Richard Glick had begun to take steps toward reform, Manchin used his power to stop it, in collaboration with other FERC commissioners. Since Manchin began to pressure FERC decisions- FERC has approved natural gas projects that amount to a cumulative 282,866,661 metric tons of C02 a year. Then, after President Biden in September nominated Glick for a second term, Manchin refused to hold a hearing on that nomination, so Glick is now gone.

51] – Valentina Dallona [team@justiceisglobal.org] thinks you will be interested in a Teach-In on Feminism and Global Justice on Thurs., Jan. 19 at 6:30 PM ET. Across the world, feminists are organizing and figuring out how to build movements that earn freedom and liberation for themselves, their communities and their countries. At Justice is Global, it is noted that feminist struggles are inevitably tied to the structure of the global economy. From the US Supreme Court overturning Roe vs. Wade to Iranian feminists struggling for civil rights; from Chilean feminists rewriting their constitution, to the assault on feminist organizing in China—the importance of standing in solidarity with feminist movements has never been clearer. Join a conversation featuring Silvia Federici and feminist organizers from Argentina, India, and Egypt.

53] –On Thurs., Jan. 19 from 7 to 8 PM ET, check out the Yemen War Powers Resolution: Past, Present, and Future. The US-Saudi Yemen War has never been authorized by Congress. Will Congress support a new War Powers Resolution to end it? We'll hear from Yemeni-born Dr. Aisha Jumaan and from Friends Committee on National Legislations' Hassan El-Tayyab. The conflict, begun in March of 2015, has been called the world’s worst humanitarian crisis by the United Nations and has never been authorized by Congress.
We’ve had successes and failures along the way. Though the Saudi bombings from the air have stopped, the blockade that causes so much damage through man-made famine continues. In a new year, with a new Congress, it’s time to examine how that efforts to end this war have gone, and where we go from here. Dr. Aisha Jumaan has over 30 years of experience in public health, including viral vaccine preventable diseases, cervical and breast cancer research, surveillance, maternal, child health and nutrition, primary health care, and women in development. Hassan El-Tayyab is FCNL’s legislative director for Middle East policy. Register at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEqc-6sqTkqHNCAygJrthS5TixQ39bOt6th.
