61] – 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., July 24, Mon., July 28, Tues., July 29 & Wed., July 3O. Visit https://jvp-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Un0Lupy1SFObVVXJaZO5UQ?_x_zm_rtaid=8L0JUS3pQkenMGtx9ha3mQ.1732760660364.03949df73aedc7035fc618f76c52fc75&_x_zm_rhtaid=249#/registration

 

62] – Detention Watch Network [program@detentionwatchnetwork.org] on Thurs., July 24 from 5 to 5:30 PM will hold a webinar Abolish ICE and Beyond! The Trump administration is dangerously moving full steam ahead with unprecedented raids, immigration enforcement and the expansion of the immigration detention system. Congress just allocated a shocking $150 billion for immigration enforcement, making ICE the largest law enforcement agency in the country at the expense of resources for all communities. This webinar will give an overview of how ICE intertwines with other federal agencies and the prison industrial complex to criminalize, arrest, detain and deport immigrant communities. Learn how you can take action to support DWN’s Communities Not Cages re-launch to uplift local communities, stop expansion, and abolish immigrant detention and ICE.  RSVP at https://detentionwatchnetwork.app.neoncrm.com/np/clients/detentionwatchnetwork/event.jsp?event=439&

64] – The Baltimore Rapid Response Network (BRRN) [info@baltimorerapidresponsenetwork.org] on Thurs., July 24 from 5:30 to 7 PM will do a Let Gaza Live Action. People are collapsing and dying from starvation in Gaza. Those who try to get food are gunned down by the Israeli military. Journalists are too weak to report on what is happening. It is reported that 85% of the population is entering stage 5 malnutrition, where the effects are often irreversible. The US could end this but instead is funding this genocide and forced starvation. 

 

 The LET GAZA LIVE Rally will be outside the Maryland Israel Development Center (MIDC) office at the World Trade Center Baltimore Building, 401 E Pratt St., Baltimore 21202.

Join the Social Housing Working Group for its biweekly organizing meeting. Learn about its latest activities, what they're planning for the future, and how to get involved. The Social Housing Working 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.
