30] – It is vital to continue organizing, rallying and pressuring Congress to call for a permanent ceasefire now. Join Montgomery County DSA [montgomerycountydsa@gmail.com] on Tues., Dec. 12 at 4 PM ET to call our Maryland state legislators in support of CASA, as well as to call our Congressional representatives in support of a ceasefire in Gaza and ending military aid to Israel. State lawmakers, including the entire Montgomery County Senate delegation, have threatened to cut funding for CASA’s social services work after they issued a statement expressing solidarity with Palestine. Following the end of a temporary ceasefire, Israel has resumed its assault on Gaza. The death toll has surpassed 17,000 people; nine out of ten people in North Gaza have gone at least one full day and night without food; “Footage published by the military correspondent of Israel’s Channel 11 shows Israeli forces deliberately stripping dozens of Palestinian civilian men naked during their arrest in northern Gaza.” RSVP here for the Zoom information: https://actionnetwork.org/events/moco-dsa-palestine-solidarity-phonebank?link_id=16&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&source=email-metro-dc-dsa-weekly-newsletter-for-november-10-2023-2&email_referrer=email_2138311&email_subject=metro-dc-dsa-weekly-newsletter-for-december-8-2023
31] -- Join the Baltimore Nonviolence Center on Tues., Dec. 12 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.
