23] –The Islamic regime in Iran is using execution verdicts as a
desperate act to suppress peaceful demonstrations and protests due to the
disastrous economic condition in Iran. The judicial system in Iran
executes innocent activist and individuals by forced confessions, torture and
sham trials. The unjust death sentences for Pakhshan Azizi and Varisheh
Moradi is another act of desperation by the Islamic Republic’s use of capital
punishment to suppress members of minority communities and terrorize Iranian
women who are fighting tirelessly for their rights as equal citizens of
Iran. You are asked to show your urgent support for contacting the United
Nations Human Rights office and Iranian mission at United Nations to demand the
Islamic republic of Iran stop the unjust execution verdicts for both women and
hundreds of other prisoners on death row in Iran. These prisoners must receive
fair trials according to international judicial standards, including the right
for all prisoners to independent counsels.

26] – 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 Tues., Feb. 4 through Fri., Feb. 7.

27] – Join the Baltimore Nonviolence Center on Tues., Feb. 4 from 4:30 to 5 PM ET at 33rd and N. Charles Sts. The invasion of Ukraine has the potential to become a war extending throughout Europe. Putin has destroyed Aleppo and Grozny and has threatened the use of nuclear weapons. Russian soldiers were sent into the area around the contaminated and still radioactive Chernobyl nuclear plant. Now they are stationed in the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe. Contact Max at mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net or 410-323-1607.

Rally at the Treasury building to stop Elon Musk’s billionaire takeover. Nobody elected Elon! We need everyone to fight this hostile takeover at every level—that includes Democrats in Congress, who need to unite and do everything in their power to get Musk’s hands off our money and stop the Musk takeover. A core principle behind this event is a commitment to nonviolent action. We expect all participants to seek to de-escalate any potential confrontation with those who disagree with our values.

29] – Kathy Boylan [kathyboylan5@gmail.com] on Tues., Feb. 4 at 6 PM RT wants you to join a demonstration outside the White House. ARREST NETANYAHU! END ALL US AID TO ISRAEL! NO TO NORMALIZATION! In his first invitation of a foreign leader, Donald Trump is hosting Benjamin Netanyahu ("Mileikowsky") at the White House. Whether it's Trump or Biden in power, Republicans and Democrats shamelessly demonstrate their unwavering support for genocide and the Zionist entity. Despite mounting global isolation of the Zionist regime, the US empire and its leaders continue to grant them total diplomatic immunity and billions of dollars in stolen taxpayer money.
