Accountability [info@corporateaccountability.org] is inviting you to be part of
the agenda for change on Tues., Nov. 14 at 5:30 PM ET. Learn more about what’s at stake and how you
can take action to challenge Big Polluters at COP28 this November. When Corporate Accountability first began
the campaign with allies to Kick Big Polluters Out of climate policy, we were
warned that these industries were too powerful and too embedded in the process
to be shut out. Participate in MAKING

30] -- Tell the Baltimore City Council: Vote YES for inclusionary housing! On Tues., Nov. 14 at 5 PM ET, the Baltimore City Council is scheduled to vote on the Inclusionary Housing bills, CB 22-0195 and 23-0369. The coalition supporting the bills will rally at 4 PM outside City Hall that same day. The Inclusionary Housing Bills provide that developers who get special tax breaks must make up to 15% of their units affordable to families whose median income does not exceed 60% (and 50% in some cases) of the area median income. The Bills also provide developers additional compensation for making these units affordable. This is a balanced approach in line with similar cities. The coalition estimates that the Inclusionary Housing bills could create over 900 new units of affordable housing marketed specifically to city residents who have been left behind in the structural racism that plagues our city.

34] – Bikemore [menelik@bikemore.net] hopes you will attend Cranksgiving which takes place on Sat., Nov. 18 from 1 to 3 PM ET starting at Charm City Meadworks, and ending at a food partner. If you plan to ride, you must register by Wed., Nov. 15. Cranksgiving is a national event that combines bike riding and giving back. It's a mix of a scavenger hunt, food drive, and bike ride. You will be given a list of food items and grocery stores, and then you'll have a set amount of time to ride to as many of the stores to collect as many of the food items as you can. All of the food goes to food partners, Moveable Feast and Franciscan Center.
After the bike ride, from 3:30 to 6 PM ET, there will be a party and awards ceremony at Charm City Meadworks. It is definitely recommended to put together a team of 3-4 people for maximum fun! Register at https://www.bikemore.net/cranksgiving2023?contactdata=Ib%2fA9zDyq5BLhtUUOOX3bdi6mOjt+9oSeRU+G+jrpdsDEikZJf48l%2fP%2fTRZl1tjqegpnA2jjgtmx9ji6OrFEbebVWd2v7lAbkJB+AuOJhyN126xhJwNW1swoge0ILM6OMVqyjIGLb4YI%2faaLLMVL7z+xt9XHHP7TeFZYDWCxu0mWZgKbwcKrpz1fMLyk82nxl3DP30UKVemLJ8HS+74r5E6QCPWE2t7D8Z0xMBgJyr6r1kUd1SRsGVRPYOr9tAx+EAypBawZL3Jyii71HUoWRg%3d%3d&emci=7a502c3d-0480-ee11-8925-00224832e811&emdi=b4ad5e8e-0580-ee11-8925-00224832e811&ceid=9712492
35] – The Working Families Party [reply@workingfamilies.org] is holding more Ceasefire Now phone bank on Wed., Nov. 15 & 22 at 3 PM ET. Over the last month, thousands of WFP members like you have joined the movement for a ceasefire in Gaza, calling your congressional offices, emailing your representatives, and joining phone banks to encourage others to do the same. And Congress has been forced to take notice. At least 26 members of Congress have now joined the call for a ceasefire, and the pressure is growing every day. But we can’t let up the pressure now. The four-hour “tactical local pauses” agreed to by the Israeli government is not enough — not while the people of Gaza remain under siege the other 20 hours of each day. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/workingfamilies/event/589315/?utm_source=NatEmail-20231110&link_id=1&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&email_referrer=email_2110970&email_subject=the-calls-and-letters-are-making-a-difference
36] –HIAS [info@hias.org] wants you to join in to discuss humanitarian parole & TPS on Wed., Nov. 15 at 3 PM ET. Hear about the Benefits and Pitfalls of Temporary Immigrant Relief. With Congress continuing to fail to pass comprehensive immigration reform, the Biden administration has largely been turning to alternative solutions to help get vulnerable people protection within the United States. As a result, they have embraced “humanitarian parole” and relied heavily on Temporary Protected Status (TPS). While these are valuable legal pathways that have created lifesaving opportunities for some, they exclude many others. And even for those who have benefitted from these policies the help is only temporary, as after individuals arrive in the U.S. they must still apply for — and be granted — a permanent immigration status to meaningfully rebuild their lives here.

37] -- Kate Schwanhausser, Food & Water Watch [act@messages.fwaction.org] is holding a virtual event PFAS, the “forever chemicals” in our water on Wed., Nov. 15 at 3 PM ET. Corporations like Dupont and 3M have known about the dangers of PFAS chemicals for decades, but they’ve continued to push their use despite the health risks. Food & Water Watch is fighting to regulate and ultimately ban PFAS — and hold manufacturers accountable for cleaning up their pollution. Hear from Food & Water Watch experts Mary Grant, Public Water for All Director, and researcher Natalie Balbuena, along with PFAS expert Kyla Bennett, the Director of Science Policy at Public Employees for Environmental Responsibility.
