Salan [communications@aaiusa.org] wants you to know that the Pilgrimage for
Peace left Philadelphia on its way to Washington, D.C. On Wed., Feb. 21 the march
will reach Washington, D.C., and I believe the group will gather at 1 PM to
call for a Ceasefire. Help Stop Genocide
with a diverse group of activists, artists, and faith leaders calling for a
ceasefire in Gaza, a halt of weapons funding for Israel, and unfettered
humanitarian access to Gaza. Some of the participating organizations are the
U.S. Campaign for Palestinian Rights, Rainbow/PUSH Coalition, IfNotNow, Faith
for Black Lives, Jews for Ceasefire, Red Letter Christians, the National Council
of Churches of Christ in the USA, Dream Defenders and many more for one or all
of the days of the pilgrimage. REGISTER
TO JOIN THE PILGRIMAGE FOR PEACE FOR AN HOUR, A DAY, OR ALL
WEEK! Meals, water and a shuttle service will be provided. RSVP at https://actionnetwork.org/events/pilgrimage-for-peace
38] – The US Campaign for Palestinian Rights [contact@uscpr.org] needs you on Wed., Feb. 21 & Thurs., Feb. 28 at 2 PM ET to Zap the phone lines to stop arming Israel! Mobilize to escalate the tactics, defend Rafah from Israel's latest genocidal assault, and stop “THE DEADLY DEAL,” a $95 billion spending package that just passed the Senate. The Deadly Deal includes $14 billion in weapons to Israel for arming genocide, and the elimination of all humanitarian funding to the UNRWA aid agency for Palestinian refugees, permanently. The U.S. government continues to back Israel's horrific massacres and forced starvation of Palestinians in Gaza. Demand that your elected officials call for a PERMANENT CEASEFIRE NOW and stop arming Israel! Join this event to hear about how you can escalate your tactics, with a short skill share on creative ideas like car caravans.

39] – Oxfam [action@oxfamamerica.org] wants you to know that the president is back from Israel & the Occupied West Bank. On Wed., Feb. 21 at 2 PM ET, join the virtual call to hear Abby Maxman reflect on her trip. More than four months into the armed conflict in Gaza, we are witnessing a complete collapse of health and sanitation systems, resulting in a humanitarian catastrophe. Abby met with partners and staff in Israel and the West Bank, and will be joined in this conversation by Bushra Khalidi, Oxfam Policy Lead in Ramallah, to share her experience living and working in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. Abby’s visit prioritized meeting with families, community leaders, and leaders of Palestinian and Israeli organizations. She was present to bear witness to their experiences and map out plans to expand Oxfam's response when it is safe to do so.

For too long, polluters – particularly factory farms – have gone unmonitored and unregulated, and our water and rural communities have suffered as a result. Food & Water Watch’s team of legal experts is dedicated to breaking this cycle by challenging regulatory agencies in court to force them to update critical pollution regulations. These cases have a direct impact on air and water quality for communities across the country.

45] – The Climate Hawks Vote [info@climatehawksvote.com] will break down the Inflation Reduction Act on Wed., Feb. 21 at 7 PM ET. The Inflation Reduction Act is touted as “the biggest investment in climate since ever.” But too many voters don’t know what’s in the IRA. They don’t know how it benefits them and their communities. Elected officials aren’t much help either; they just say “we passed the largest climate bill since ever!” and move on. Get a break down on the IRA so that you know exactly how it works, and can share with friends, family, and voters. Sign up for our webinar Wednesday, February 21, 2024 at 7 PM Eastern/ 4 PM Pacific.
