29] –   Friends of Sabeel North America [friends@fosna.org] on Tues., Oct. 29 at noon ET, Black Faith Leaders will hold a press conference to share testimonies from Palestine. A delegation will call for an Urgent U.S. Policy Change, Condemning Israel’s Apartheid and the Genocide in Gaza.  They will share firsthand accounts following their visit to Palestine, where they bore witness to the hardships and human rights violations faced by Palestinians. These leaders heard powerful testimonies about the conditions in Gaza, where the crisis has reached genocidal levels. They will urge the U.S. government to end its complicity in supporting these conditions, which include ongoing apartheid practices, illegal settlements, and settler violence. Drawing on their historical fight against Jim Crow and racialized oppression, they will speak to the parallels between these struggles and the racialized discrimination against Palestinians in a system of Jewish supremacy. The leaders will issue a moral call to action, appealing to American citizens to “wake up” to these urgent realities and push for an end to U.S. policies that sustain occupation and suffering in Palestine.  Register for a Zoom at https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_nzhq1fSJTmy0WKgsRueVVw#/registration

30] –   People’s Action has a vision for the future in which we all have a say, we all have what we need, and we all belong. In that vision, our government and our economy serve all of us, not a handful of billionaires, and concerns about corporate profits take a back seat to the well-being of our people and our planet. Over the coming weeks, reach out to voters in critical states to share this vision with them and invite them to join us in working towards it.

On Tues., Oct. 29 from 5 to 8:30 PM ET and Nov. 5 from 9 to 11 AM, 11 to 1 PM, 1 to 3 PM, 3 to 6 PM & 6 to 8 PM ET, join people from across the country on Zoom to make calls to voters for Harris in swing states with a major focus on Pennsylvania. This is organized by the CHESAPEAKE CLIMATE ACTION NETWORK / ACTION FUND. The organizers will set you up and train you to make calls!

32] – Just Peace Advocates [info@justpeaceadvocates.ca] on Tues., Oct. 29 at 7 PM ET is holding a webinar -- Canada’s terror list enables Israeli terror. Earlier this month, the Trudeau government listed the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network as a terror entity. The move marks a major escalation in state directed efforts to suppress opposition to Canada’s complicity in Israel’s genocide and war crimes. The webinar will consider how the terrorist list works and its anti-Palestinian, pro-US Empire, character.

33] –Alex Newell Taylor [info@medicare4all.org] on Tues., Oct. 29 at 8 PM ET wants you to join the last Patients over Profits call of the year. It’s crunch time before one of the most consequential elections of our lifetimes, and the hope is to reach 300 signers on the Patients over Profits pledge before the polls close on November 5th.
