46] – 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 24, Mon., April 28, Tues., April 29, & Wed., April 30. Visit https://jvp-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Un0Lupy1SFObVVXJaZO5UQ?_x_zm_rtaid=8L0JUS3pQkenMGtx9ha3mQ.1732760660364.03949df73aedc7035fc618f76c52fc75&_x_zm_rhtaid=249#/registration
47] – On Thursdays, April 24 through May 22 from 3 to 4 PM ET, enjoy a discussion with Indivisible’s Co-Founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin, as they carve out an hour to discuss what’s happening and – more importantly – what’s the plan. The onslaught of news, the chaos coming out of the White House – it’s all meant to overwhelm us. It’s a deliberate strategy to sow confusion and make us believe we are powerless to fight back. Come together in community to process what’s happening, to sift through what’s important and what’s just noise, and coalesce around strategies for fighting back.

50] – The Parkway Theatre, 5 W. North Ave., Baltimore is showing The Encampments, a documentary directed by Kei Pritsker. When a group of students at Columbia University in New York launch a movement protesting the war in Gaza, they spark a nationwide uprising in solidarity with the people of Gaza. Encampments spring up at hundreds of campuses as students object to their own university’s investment in the US and Israeli arms industry. Featuring detained student activist Mahmoud Khalil, The Encampments takes viewers inside America’s student uprising with incredible intimacy and urgency.
