27] –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.
Contact the permanent mission of Iran, 622 Third Avenue, 34th Floor, NEW YORK, NY 10017 -- https://geneva.mfa.gov.ir or Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), Palais Wilson, 52 rue des Pâquis, CH-1201 Geneva, Switzerland -- ohchr-InfoDesk@un.org On Tues., March 4 from 7 - 8:30 PM ET, enjoy Habitant Gardening for Birds: Intro Webinar.

29] – 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., March 11, Wed., March 12 & Thurs., March 13.

39] –The People's Action Institute [hello@peoplesaction.org] on Wed., March 12 at noon is mobilizing to Save Healthcare, starting at Columbus Circle. No Health Care Cuts for Corporate Greed! There’s enough wealth in this country to provide health care for every single person who needs it–if we stop billionaires and greedy corporations from stealing it. Right now, Republicans and their billionaire backers are planning to cut Medicaid by $880 billion. This means, nearly 40 million people will have their health care taken away from them in order to fund tax breaks for the greediest people alive. At least ten health care and grassroots organizations across the country have joined together for a major mobilization to Save Our Healthcare. Gather at Columbus Circle and march to the Capitol to stop Congress from cutting lifesaving programs for everyday people to fund tax breaks for the rich. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/peoplesactioninstitute/event/761343/?link_id=2&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&source=email-no-health-care-cuts-for-corporate-greed-join-us-on-312-to-fight-back&email_referrer=email_2645262&email_subject=no-health-care-cuts-for-corporate-greed-join-us-on-312-to-fight-back40] –Chevron supports Israel's apartheid regime and its genocidal war against the Palestinian people, while also bringing environmental destruction to countries around the world. Chevron runs natural gas extraction and pipelines off the shore of Palestine/Israel. Israel depends heavily on fossil gas for electricity, and Chevron is the largest producer for Israel, illegally exploiting Palestinian natural resources. Chevron is also providing millions of dollars in tax revenues to Israel. Chevron is one the most destructive oil companies, ravaging land, poisoning rivers and streams, destroying communities, and financing violence. The company’s activities have played a role in the destruction of marginalized people’s homes, resources, and livelihoods in at least 30 countries.
Boycott Chevron for its human rights violations and the destruction of Mother Earth. Join the protest on Wed., March 12 at 1 PM ET by signing up at https://palestine.events/12March2025
