28] -- Steve
Lane [steve_lane@amron.com] wants you to join a vigil on Wed., Sept. 4 at noon
in front of the White House. This vigil
is aimed at urging passers-by to help close the prison at
Guantanamo Bay.
29] -- On Wed., Sept. 4 at 5 PM ET, get with Majority over MAGA Book Talk with Ari Berman. Register for Co-Executive Director Ezra Levin’s conversation with Berman -- author of Minority Rule – at https://indivisible.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Q38JvHOdTtCgONSmikilFw#/registration
The mob that stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021, represented an extreme form of the central danger facing American democracy today: a blatant disregard for the will of the majority. This crisis didn’t begin or end with Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election. Through voter suppression, election subversion, gerrymandering, dark money, the takeover of the courts, and the whitewashing of history, reactionary white conservatives have strategically entrenched power in the face of a massive demographic and political shift. Berman charts these efforts with sweeping historical research and incisive on-the-ground reporting, chronicling how a wide range of antidemocratic tactics interact with profound structural inequalities in institutions like the Electoral College, the Senate, and the Supreme Court to threaten the survival of representative government in America.

Learn about the September Days of Action for a nuclear weapons and fossil fuel free world. Help expose the companies producing new nuclear weapons and promoting increased production of fossil fuels. Put pressure on these top 40 companies that profit from fossil fuels and nuclear weapons spend millions on lobbying, elections and propaganda to maintain their control over Congress and the White House. But these companies – and their investors – also care about their public image and their reputations. Boycotts, divestment and shaming are very effective tools we can use to pressure the profiteers. It’s been done before and we can do it again! Hear from Kathy Kelly, board president of World BEYOND War, and Ira Helfand MD, a member of the International Steering Group of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN), the recipient of the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize.

Swing Left has the tools, programs, and community infrastructure to help you get involved strategically in whatever way you can, no matter where you are on your civic engagement journey.
