43] – 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. 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., April 17, Mon., April 21, Tues., April 22, & Wed., April 23.

We are living through a period of tremendous changes to our information ecosystem, resulting in growing concerns about misinformation and its effect on our society. While dominant discourse frames this issue as one mainly of false belief, and exclusively affecting the other side (which varies depending on your affiliation), this is misinformation in itself. This webinar, led by Nick Rabb, will complicate the concept of misinformation, show how it affects us all regardless of political orientation, and share strategies we all can use to mend its damage to our social fabric.
