68] – Speak
Out Now at an Online Town Hall on Sat., Jan. 21 at 7 PM ET with Richard Wolff
-- 2023: A Coming Economic Crisis? Who Will Pay? We face the effects of global corporations’
competition and profit maximization which has led to economic warfare pitting
the U.S. and the E.U. against Russia and China. The Covid pandemic and the
effects of the war in Ukraine have impacted the lives of working people
everywhere. The majority of people continue to face soaring inflation, rising
interest rates and declining living and working conditions. In response,
efforts to organize unions, as well as protests and strikes by workers and the
poor have exploded around the world. To fight back we need to understand the
capitalist system we confront today.
Richard D. Wolff will be discussing these important issues, followed by
a Q & A and discussion. He is a professor of economics emeritus at the
University of Massachusetts, Amherst. You can attend in person at Homewood
Friends Meeting, 3107 N. Charles St., Baltimore 21218. You must wear a mask. Or you can join in by Zoom:

69] – ANTI-NUCLEAR ACTIVISTS TO CELEBRATE BALTIMORE IS A NUCLEAR FREE ZONE on Sun., Jan. 22 at 5 PM ET at York Road and Gittings Avenue, Baltimore. The rally will take place by a Baltimore City sign announcing the Nuclear Free Zone. We have selected this day as on January 22, 2021 the entry into force of the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW) took place. This historic treaty was voted on by 122 nations, and eventually became international law which comprehensively bans nuclear weapons in the same manner as biological and chemical weapons.
We will use the rally as a teaching moment. Speakers will address various issues, including nuclear free zones, Back from the Brink, the TPNW, a Congressional resolution to support the Treaty, the DOOMSDAY CLOCK and the announcement on January 24 by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists as to how close we are to nuclear midnight, the campaign to remove US nuclear weapons from five countries in Europe, and a Pastoral Letter by the Most Reverend John C. Wester, archbishop of Santa Fe. The rally has been organized by the Baltimore Nonviolence Center, Baltimore Phil Berrigan Memorial Chapter Veterans for Peace, Chesapeake Physicians for Social Responsibility, Maryland Peace Action, Maryland CPUSA & Pax Christi Baltimore.
