16] – Progressive Democrats of America
[info@pdamerica.org] hopes you will attend a Town Hall on Sun., Dec. 10 at 4 PM
ET about the Past, Present and Future of the Progressive
Left. Hear from Grassroots Political Organizer Jay Ponti about his new book, Be
the Revolution: How Occupy Wall Street and the Bernie Sanders Movement Reshaped
American Politics. At this week's PDA Town Hall, celebrate the progressive
movement and its many accomplishments, but also ask some hard questions. After
all, according to opinion polls over the past decade, a majority of the
general public supports progressive policies, overwhelmingly so among
Democrats. Yet, the vast majority of elected Democrats across the country
are not progressives. Our task now is to bring those numbers into sync, which
means winning a governing majority, which means implementing our program,
which means changing the world for the better, which will renew faith in
democracy. Register here and the machine will email you your secure codes: https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tJ0tceuhrzsvHdymeeZRwb-i7X50FJa-HMR4#/registration

Keeper of the Flame follows the life and work of human rights activist Jack Healey. Working for a decade as the director of Amnesty International USA, Healey played a major role in bringing human rights awareness to a televised national and international audience through the fusing of popular music and activism, collaborating with the likes of Peter Gabriel, Sting, and Wynton Marsalis. Tracking Healey's activism back to the civil rights movement, the film lays the groundwork for his lifelong commitment to advocating for human rights. Learning from and working with mentors Dick Gregory, Fannie Lou Hamer, Father James Groppi, and John Lewis, Healey's activist spirit has continued and strengthened through the decades.

22] – CODEPINK [info@codepink.org] on Mon., Dec. 11 at 8 PM is hosting a Holiday How-To: Discussing Palestine over the Holidays as part of a Community Hour. Join CODEPINK Palestine campaign organizer, Nour, and the communications manager, Melissa, for an online community call, "Missing Peace Mondays," where people come together to reflect, educate, and mobilize. Talk about how navigating discussions about sensitive topics during holiday gatherings can be challenging—especially with the rampant misinformation peddled by mainstream media and our own government. Some of the most effective organizing starts at home, so these conversations are very important!
