31] –Jewish Voice for Peace is doing a Power Half-Hour for
Gaza: Channel grief & outrage into action to stop a genocide. A year into the genocide in Gaza, we are
overwhelmed with sorrow and rage. There are no words to describe the
devastating pain of the past year in which the Israeli military has killed over
44,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including more than 17,000 children. The International
Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court have both declared that
Israel must stop the genocidal acts being committed on the Palestinian people.
And the U.S. government is actively supporting the Israeli military as it
wreaks devastation on the over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza. JVP continues to
come together as a political community in its daily half-hour to take action,
Monday through Friday, for the past year. Join in and take collective action to
demand an arms embargo to Israel, immediate end to the genocide, a lasting
ceasefire and an end to Israeli siege, apartheid, occupation, and oppression of
Palestinians and Lebanon. All are welcome. All are needed. Get involved at 3 PM
ET on Dec. 10--14. Visit https://jvp-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Un0Lupy1SFObVVXJaZO5UQ?_x_zm_rtaid=8L0JUS3pQkenMGtx9ha3mQ.1732760660364.03949df73aedc7035fc618f76c52fc75&_x_zm_rhtaid=249#/registration

37] – USCPR [contact@uscpr.org] on Wed., Dec. 11 at 7 PM will host an Israel Bonds Community Divestment webinar. It is time to Break the Bonds of Genocide webinar. U.S. investments in Israel bonds have funded decades of occupation and military aggression against the Palestinian people. These financial instruments prop up a system of genocide and apartheid—and it’s our responsibility to disrupt it. During the constant painful horrors of the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people, it’s absolutely crucial that we as a U.S.-based solidarity movement sharpen our strategies and focus our efforts on where we can make a significant impact. That means following the flow of the money and weapons, and targeting the pressure points to disrupt it. RSVP at https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/6217284992368/WN_CnrtTFpiR5KO31T-SmrBSg?emci=a9629f60-54b3-ef11-88d0-000d3a9d5840&emdi=23f92068-66b3-ef11-88d0-000d3a9d5840&ceid=5467956#/registration
