19] – Rachel Kutler [info@jufj.org] is inviting you to leverage your advocacy skills, meet new people, and fight for justice.  On Mon., June 3 at 7 PM, join members of Jews United for Justice to discuss an ongoing issue campaign work at the Baltimore Action Team (BAT) Meeting! Focus on the Baltimore City Not for Sale Campaign, which is working to combat two Sinclair-backed ballot measures which would destabilize Baltimore– one would gut Baltimore city services, and the other would cut City Council representation in half. Every resident in Baltimore has a stake in this fight. RSVP at https://jufj.org/event/bat-6-3-24/?emci=fb9c5a43-3d19-ef11-86d0-6045bdd9e096&emdi=0bea7b7b-3f19-ef11-86d0-6045bdd9e096&ceid=3403859

22] – Oxfam [action@oxfamamerica.org] is holding an Action Call on Mon., June 3 at 8 PM ET— create a gas-free future. RSVP at https://oxfam.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZMkf-CorD4sHdVnJj6kXQIOPCdYlBdWpcrV?utm_campaign=FY25-Webinars&utm_medium=email&_hsenc=p2ANqtz--pwxpTundiYghkAultEMhoLGxsIm3-K4NPABuKhbWWj2K3ZNfELKWcv_Vnq71GcXFPHYw3OJna26Fc2vw5TxjxYFf0MOLaoZiGV49WHKsLdYdtdRE&_hsmi=309229999&utm_content=309229997&utm_source=hs_email#/registration

 What role can we play in creating a gas-free future? The first step is to meet climate commitments and shift away from dangerous fossil fuels—like liquefied methane gas—and toward a clean, just energy transition. As the largest exporter of liquefied methane gas in the world, the U.S. must play an important role in leading this transition. Methane is a dangerous fossil fuel that possesses over 80 times the warming potential of carbon dioxide during the initial 20 years after entering the atmosphere. It’s clear: A continued reliance on fossil fuels is NOT in the public’s interest.
