45] – Spirituality & Practice e-courses@spiritualityandpractice.com wants you to know about a webinar Talk with Jon M. Sweeney and the author of "Making Room" on Thurs., July 11 at 4 PM ET on Zoom. Sweeney, S&P's contributing editor for books and new media, will be talking with Carl Siciliano. In his review, Adam Bucko writes: "Carl is a spiritual luminary whose heartbreak guided him to accompany LGBTQ homeless youth into the depths of their pain and help them heal, receiving healing himself in the process." Join in for a deeper look into Carl Siciliano's book. Siciliano has been an altruistic pioneer in the LGBTQ community, making it his life's work to help struggling queer youth. After experiencing the loss of a friend, Ali Forney, to murder on the streets, Siciliano started The Ali Forney Center in their honor, and found selfless passion in protecting others from experiencing what happened to Forney.

46] –On Thurs., July 11 at 6 PM ET, there is a Social Housing Organizing meeting. RSVP at https://actionnetwork.org/events/july-11-2024-social-housing-organizing-meeting?link_id=62&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&source=email-metro-dc-dsa-weekly-newsletter-for-june-21-2024&email_referrer=email_2371964&email_subject=metro-dc-dsa-weekly-new
Learn about its latest activities, what they're planning for the future, and how to get involved. The Social Housing Working Group seeks to educate Metro DC DSA chapter members and the general public about social housing and to facilitate collective action in support of the passage and implementation of the Green New Deal for Housing Amendment Act. The legislation proposes to create mixed-income, district-owned housing with market rate units that subsidize a larger number of affordable units. It's a pioneering approach that deepens affordability, invests surplus funds into the creation of more social housing, and locks-in financial sustainability. The bill also includes climate and labor standards and elected tenant boards with oversight over building management. A link to attend this virtual event will be emailed upon RSVP.

51] – From accredited Japanese director Hideaki Ito comes SILENT FALLOUT which tells the untold stories of the victims of nuclear testing in America. The documentary will be at Annapolis Friends Meetings House on July 15, in Washington DC at American University on July 16, in Baltimore at 7 PM at Homewood Friends Meeting House, 3107 N. Charles St. on July 17 and at Towson University on July 27. Unfortunately, the US nuclear arsenal is stealing billions of tax dollars from numerous social programs. This documentary could lead to discussions about why is the US government wasting funds on weapons of mass destruction? Check out this list of upcoming screenings: https://us.fallout22.com/tour/?emci=730c6b43-12c9-ee11-85f9-002248223794&emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&ceid=#schedule
Director Hideaki Ito chronicles the story of radiation exposure and harm in the U.S., and the previously untold story of those who tried to expose it. In 1951, nuclear weapons testing began on the US mainland. Hundreds of miles away in St. Louis, Dr. Louise Reiss began collecting baby teeth from other mothers in her community. Through studying these teeth, Reiss found that American children—not just the so-called “Utah Downwinders”—had been exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. Silent Fallout traces these stories and others, journeying from Salt Lake City, to Virginia, to Missouri, to the United Kingdom, and to Japan, exposing the government deception behind the bomb.
