48] – What’s the Plan? A
virtual Weekly Discussion with Indivisible’s co-founders takes place on
Thursdays, including Aug. 14, from 3 to 4 PM ET. 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. The antidote: Coming 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. Join indivisible co-founders Leah
Greenberg and Ezra Levin each week to discuss what’s happening and – more
importantly – what the plan is. RSVP at

49] – 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., Aug. 14, Mon., Aug. 18, Tues., Aug. 19 & Wed., Aug. 20.

54] –Just Peace Advocates [info@justpeaceadvocates.ca] on Thurs., Aug, 14 at 7 PM ET want you to tune in to a webinar: Zionism vs The Canadian Charter. The webinar will focus on the current context of limiting freedom of expression at the service of a genocidal apartheid state. Over the past twenty two months Israel has dropped 6 times more tons of explosives on Gaza as the US did on Hiroshima. Yet Canadians continue to be charged, fired and harassed for opposing Canada’s complicity in Israel’s crimes. The federal government is currently pursuing “bubble zone” legislation and greater ‘terror’ restrictions that would limit freedom of expression at the service of a genocidal apartheid state.
