Dear [Title Last Name], I am alarmed by the surge in dismissals within our government. According to Reuters, the campaign led by Unelected President Elon Musk has resulted in nearly 10,000 terminations, affecting areas like federal lands and veterans' care. This issue goes beyond the numbers. They fired-rehired the guys who watch our NUKES! Thank you for your time. I look forward to hearing how you plan to address this matter.
48] – Takoma Park Mobilization [info@tpmobilization.org] on Fri., Feb. 28 from noon to 1 PM will join the Economic Boycott at the Gazebo, Carroll Ave., Old Town Takoma. SHOW UP for quick Community Gathering and interactive exploration of PEOPLE POWER! Led by Nadine Bloch, BeautifultTrouble.org and MovementInfrastructureProject.org We need to do this and share with our networks and neighbors!
49] – Free Press [info@freepress.net] on Thurs., Feb. 27 at 2 PM ET is doing a webinar -- Defeating Authoritarianism: How People and Media Can Stand Up for Freedom Now. Trump and his “special government employee” Elon Musk are breaking laws and democratic norms to inflate the power of the Oval Office and wrest power away from the people. Every day the United States sinks deeper into authoritarianism, with escalating attacks on the press, blatant disregard for the separation of powers1 and aggressive efforts to normalize racism and other forms of cruelty.
Join Free Press as we speak with global leaders — including a Nobel Peace Prize winner — who have confronted authoritarian regimes in Hungary, the Philippines and Poland. Learn from experts and advocates who have studied how democracies collapse. Learn what has worked and what hasn’t. What role should journalists play in these chaotic times? What can concerned individuals do? How have leaders in other countries effectively fought off authoritarian threats?

50] – 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 Thurs., Feb. 20, Wed., Feb. 27 & March 3 - 5.

52] – Popular Democracy [cpd@populardemocracy.org] on Thurs., Feb. 27 at 7 PM ET will hold a National Fight Back call. Take a stand for the 14th Amendment—a cornerstone of Black liberation that was born to ensure nobody is treated as less than a human being. Right now, extremists are trying to rip that foundation away to target immigrants, erase our communities, and unravel the progress we’ve fought generations to secure. It’s time to be in community with one another, hear from elected leaders fighting for our rights like Rep. Nydia Velasquez, and recharge for the fight ahead with spoken word artist Camilo Montoya. These calls will continue each Thursday through December 18. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/cpda/event/550558/?ms=EM+NationalCallFeb132+PD&emci=1adcad8a-8ae9-ef11-90cb-0022482a94f4&emdi=1bdcad8a-8ae9-ef11-90cb-0022482a94f4&ceid=447376
