33] – The Team Storyteller Corps [hello@protectourcare.org] wants you to be a part of a conversation to protect health care access in the U.S. on Tues., May 23 at 1 PM ET. Join Protect Our Care for the fourth installment of the Health Care Advocate Briefing series - Threats to Health Care in the Courts. Sign up at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIuceiopjsuE9eMRzGOfIagmc7nxD1wQzi8?emci=d41819cf-0bf4-ed11-907c-00224832eb73&emdi=5579e25e-11f4-ed11-907c-00224832eb73&ceid=10191230#/registration. Quality, affordable health care is integral to the well-being of all people in America, and yet it is constantly under threat from special interest groups and right-wing judges. Some of the biggest threats to our health care are making their way through the court system right now. Braidwood v. Becerra threatens access to essential preventive care, and a judge’s ruling on the drug Mifepristone indicates that an ignorant person can completely ignore science.
34] – HIAS [nfo@hias.org] is hopeful about the end of Title 42 on May 11, a public health measure invoked in 2020 to block people from seeking asylum at the U.S.-Mexico border. And while that is a welcome but overdue action, the Biden administration’s new policies could keep those who are fleeing their homes in search of safety in the United States from doing so. On Tues., May 23 at 4 PM ET, join a virtual event – The End of Title 42: What This Means for Seeking Asylum at the U.S.-Mexico Border. Join us to learn about the real impact at the U.S.-Mexico border. During the discussion, you’ll learn about the many complexities of the policies, including the welcome announcement of increased refugee resettlement from Latin America but why such measures fall short of addressing the actual humanitarian needs at the border. As the doors to the U.S. are once again slammed shut in the face of the majority of asylum seekers, we all must aspire to a vision of a more welcoming country and endeavor to create that reality. Please join us to learn how you can help.

Login details will be sent before the start of the event,
35] – Join the Baltimore Nonviolence Center on Tues., May 23 from 4:30 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.
