22] –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. 3-6 and Dec. 9--14.

On Wed., Dec. 4 at 8 PM ET join a War Industry Resisters Network webinar-- Positive Populism in a Reactionary Moment, presented by Bill Moyer. Register at https://secure.everyaction.com/b-sXPBdSo0SqUHDIoTn-UQ2
We find ourselves at the crossroads of peril and possibility. Rapid change feels imminent, yet its direction undetermined. The war machine seems fully charged, but the victors claim to be peacemakers. Americans clamor for change but a vision for the future is absent. Historian Gary Gerstle recently described our transit from the New Deal order - through the Cold War - into the Neoliberal political order, its collapse and the emergence of an order that is, as of now, yet-to-be-defined. Moyer is the co-founder and executive director of the Backbone Campaign. He has long promoted the use of the grand strategy framework of Col. John R. Boyd for use by change agents engaged in building nonviolent social movements. Backbone’s Artful Activism has drawn from the grand tactical and grand strategic ideas in Boyd’s framework.

This webinar will be a strategy session for the most fired-up core activists to huddle and think about how we can combat Trumpism while still moving the Democratic Party to champion progressive policies that working people need now (and that can help defeat the Right in the next election). GET THE LINK at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYpcumqqTksGtHNBdvhKe0jAN8RYqTxo8Hw#/registration?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=762f3acd-533b-4e43-b7e3-e7e6e7db11a9
