30] – Indivisible Baltimore County [contact@indivisible-baltimorecounty.org] is holding on Mon., July 29 at 3 PM a Rally for Integrity: Reappoint Kelly Madigan. The rally will be held at the Towson Historic Courthouse on Bosley Avenue to demand the reappointment of Baltimore County Inspector General Kelly Madigan and to denounce the “mishandled, politicized process” by County Executive Kathy Klausmeier. The rally will take place shortly before the County Council’s next work session where concerns about the integrity and independence of the inspector general’s office are expected to be raised. The seven-member body must ratify Klausmeier’s choice for inspector general, which “will be shared with the public in the coming weeks,” according to her office.

31] – 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 Tues., July 29, Wed., July 30, Thurs., July 31 and Mon., Aug. 4.

Join every Tuesday night for a lively, no-stress session where you will practice your 4th & 5th Amendment protections, from traffic stops to front-door chats with police or immigration enforcement at the workplace.

You can easily share what you learn with co-workers, neighbors, and friends to help everyone be informed of their rights! Contact Hannah at 202-706-9777 or charjur2021@gmail.com.
