39] – There is a Baltimore City Council Hearing on Crisis Response on Wed., Aug. 27 at 5 PM at City Hall, 100 Holliday St., Baltimore.

41] – Food & Water Action [act@fwaction.org] on Wed., Aug. 27 at 6 PM ET is inviting you to a virtual Maryland volunteer call. Discuss critical campaigns to hold polluters accountable and keep water affordable and accessible. This summer, Maryland has experienced deadly heatwaves and floods across the state. Fossil fuel companies are responsible for much of the damage we are seeing today — and yet, Maryland taxpayers are footing the bills for programs to mitigate the damage caused by climate change and rebuild when things go wrong. The RENEW Act would help us to hold these polluters accountable and fund the climate programs we need most. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/fwa/event/831105/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=engagingnetworks&utm_campaign=onor_em_08212025_MD-July-Volunteer-Meeting&utm_content=2025-07-25+FWA+c4+MD+General+July-Volunteer-Meeting+Event+em+nL+V+JL+-+CoreRSVP
Also talk about the upcoming Baltimore City Council hearing, which will discuss oversight of Baltimore’s Water4All program. With water rates rising and billing still imperfect, keep the pressure on the City Council to protect affordable water for all Baltimore residents. As always, the meeting will also have space for folks to talk about issues you want to raise with the team
42] – Free Speech for People [contact@freespeechforpeople.org] on Wed., Aug. 27 from 6:30 to 8 PM ET wants you to join Rep.

This event is happening in Pittsburgh, but you can tune in live virtually! A livestream link will be provided upon RSVP: https://secure.everyaction.com/OdJvwox7ZUOdhMPPs1eHGg2?contactdata=hARLjCYuzUf958VRP3eyNnhsI8BxfuzoShHN%2fpCyd0L19IHnAiv5u%2fDtrneyIuuQeP06QA5vn%2fwLOo6JnhfhNij2DsGbQaeW61PWhYzmlv4pnVRvIlmCCp7N6rRkteheUFVTFH03ndSOxOtYO2DfE5D2s0JwFZCK3ax5BT1BO0Rk8cdW1tEEK7T5xpnis%2f5F&emci=2ce04f99-dc81-f011-b484-6045bdeb7413&emdi=86a21cb0-de81-f011-b484-6045bdeb7413&ceid=5222495

46] – What’s the Plan? A virtual Weekly Discussion with Indivisible’s co-founders takes place on Thursdays, including Aug. 28, from 3 to 4 PM ET. This will continue through Dec. 18. 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’s the plan?

47] – 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. 28 & Mon., Sept. 1, Tues., Sept. 2 & Wed., Sept. 3. Visit https://jvp-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Un0Lupy1SFObVVXJaZO5UQ?_x_zm_rtaid=8L0JUS3pQkenMGtx9ha3mQ.1732760660364.03949df73aedc7035fc618f76c52fc75&_x_zm_rhtaid=249#/registration
