46]HIAS [info@hias.org] is inviting you on Thurs., March 28 at noon ET to a talk Standing for Rights and Safety at the U.S.-Mexico Border. The U.S.-Mexico border has become and remained central to our national political conversation. Rhetoric has focused on stoking anti-immigrant sentiment and disinformation rather than on reasonable and achievable solutions for border management and humane asylum policy. Join HIAS experts to learn about what’s happening at the border, the kind of solutions and leadership it will take to address them, and how you can help.  Register at https://hias.org/events/hias-update-call-standing-rights-and-safety-us-mexico-border/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=EngagingNetworks&utm_campaign=240319_Border-Webinar_Invite&utm_content=240319+Border-Webinar+Invite

52]Stop the Money Pipeline [info@stopthemoneypipeline.com] wants you to attend a mass action call on Thurs., March 28 at 7:30 PM ET to plan nonviolent actions to demand an end to Wall Street funding of climate chaos. This April, take nonviolent direct action to bring an end to fossil fuel financing.
