40] – 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. 6, Fri., Feb. 7,
Mon., Feb. 10 & Tues., Feb. 11. Visit https://jvp-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Un0Lupy1SFObVVXJaZO5UQ?_x_zm_rtaid=8L0JUS3pQkenMGtx9ha3mQ.1732760660364.03949df73aedc7035fc618f76c52fc75&_x_zm_rhtaid=249#/registration

Learn about its latest activities, what is planned for the future, and how to get involved. The group seeks to educate Metro DC DSA chapter members and the general public about social housing and to facilitate collective action in support of the passage and implementation of the Green New Deal for Housing Amendment Act. The legislation proposes to create mixed-income, district-owned housing with market rate units that subsidize a larger number of affordable units. It's a pioneering approach that deepens affordability, invests surplus funds into the creation of more social housing, and locks-in financial sustainability. The bill also includes climate and labor standards and elected tenant boards with oversight over building management. This event is open to both DSA Members and supporters.
