50] – Drew [drew@198methods.org] wants you to
be at a meeting on Thurs. Sept. 19 to UnFrack FERC. (Federal Energy Regulatory
Commission). And this is the chance to end this imperial outpost of fossil
fuels. With grassroots movements escalating against fossil fuels and federal
Courts finally validating our arguments and issuing real consequences for
FERC's failures – is this the beginning of the Fall of FERC? I'll explain more
below, but we think September 19 is the critical moment to stand up to FERC
over all their past failures, and demand a permanent change in the way the
federal government reviews, permits, or opposes fossil fuels – especially LNG
exports.
Three new Commissioners have taken seats at FERC, which could be enough to enact real changes — if they vote for it. And the D.C. Circuit Court has been striking at the heart of FERC's broken permitting process.

52] – The Vietnam Peace Commemoration Committee [vnpeacecomm-gmail.com@shared1.ccsend.com] on Thurs., Sept. 19 at 4 PM ET will host a webinar on Women and the Antiwar Movement. The ultimate success of the movement to stop the war in Vietnam was due to the mobilization of multiple segments of society, such as students, academics, businesspeople, lawyers, religious activists, unions, veterans, and humanitarians. Not least of these were traditional women's peace organizations such as the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom and Women Strike for Peace that redirected their efforts toward stopping the war. Vietnam specific groups were created such as Another Mother for Peace and to organize a meeting between American and Vietnamese women in Toronto, Canada. This webinar features the experiences of women peace activists who helped to transform the movement into a broad coalition that reached into a majority of American households and influenced the movement for women's liberation.

60] – Muslims for Just Futures [sana@muslimsforjustfutures.org] on Thurs., Sept. 19 at 7 PM ET are holding a member meeting to build local and national power. Since October, Israel has murdered over 42,000+ Palestinians in Gaza including 16,000+ children, and thousands more are unaccounted for under the rubble. An estimated 1.5 million Palestinians have fled their homes and are sheltering in Rafah. They are facing violent Israeli bombardment and many are on the brink of starvation because Israel has blocked food, water, and medical supplies. But the U.S. government is still arming Israel despite grave violations of U.S. and international law. The next meeting will be on Thurs., Oct. 17 at 7 PM ET.

61] – Lindsay Koshgarian [info@email.ips-dc.org] on Thurs., Sept. 19 at 7 PM ET will make the point that there is a connection between climate & militarism. War is a cause of climate change, and war diverts funds needed for climate change. RSVP at https://350org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ipeUqbZYQJitQrJi2Jf8nQ?emci=1db31eb8-986f-ef11-991a-6045bdd9e096&emdi=5a0b012b-9f6f-ef11-991a-6045bdd9e096&ceid=4192461#/registration
War, militarism, and climate breakdown are closely linked. War is a huge source of carbon emissions and ecological destruction, while disproportionate investments in militaries and weapons divert direly needed funds away from climate action. Despite these links, peace, climate, and justice movements have long struggled to bring their causes together.
