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. 21, Mon., Aug. 25, Tues., Aug.
26 & Wed., Aug. 27. Visit https://jvp-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Un0Lupy1SFObVVXJaZO5UQ?_x_zm_rtaid=8L0JUS3pQkenMGtx9ha3mQ.1732760660364.03949df73aedc7035fc618f76c52fc75&_x_zm_rhtaid=249#/registration

53] – Consider attending Legal Plunder Socialist Night School on Thurs., Aug. 21 from 6:30 to 8 PM ET at the Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Library, 401-A Conference Room, 901 G St. NW, WDC 20001. Alongside the rise of mass incarceration, a second profound and equally disturbing development has transpired. Since the 1980s, US policing and punishment have been remade into tools for stripping resources from the nation’s most oppressed communities and turning them into public and private revenues. In their new book, Legal Plunder: The Predatory Dimensions of Criminal Justice, Joshua Page and Joe Soss analyze this development’s origins, operations, consequences, and the political struggles that it has created. Drawing on historical and contemporary evidence, including original ethnographic research, Page and Soss examine the predatory dimensions of criminal legal governance to show how practices that criminalize, police, and punish have been retrofitted to siphon resources from subordinated groups, subsidize governments, and generate corporate profits. As tax burdens have declined for the affluent, this financial extraction—now a core function of the country’s sprawling criminal legal apparatus—further compounds race, class, and gender inequalities and injustices. Legal Plunder shows that we can no longer afford to overlook legal plunder or the efforts to dismantle it. This event is open to both DSA Members and supporters.
