51] – Michael Keller <mjaykeller@outlook.com> indicates there is a birddogging opportunity on Fri., Sept. 5 at 7:30 AM at the Eastport Democratic Club, 525 State St., Annapolis. Senator Angela Alsobrooks is scheduled to address progressive Democrats of Annapolis. There is a $5 cover charge which includes bagels and coffee. There is customarily ample time reserved for Q&A. This is a chance to raise the issues of the Gaza War and U.S. policy toward Israel with Sen. Alsobrooks.
52] – There is a Uniting for Peace Resolution UN RES.377 (V) webinar to learn how to do it and how to spread the word. A super-majority of the world’s nations already support Palestine. Utilizing a lesser-known process called Uniting for Peace, our UN representatives possess the numbers and the authority to override the US veto to Send a multinational protection force to Palestine, providing food and medicine, ending the blockade, and protecting civilians; to Implement sanctions and a military embargo on Israel; and Withdraw Israel’s UN credentials, establish a war crimes tribunal, and more.
September 18 marks a critical one-year deadline set by the UN General Assembly for Israel to comply with the World Court and the UN in relation to the UN resolutions on Palestine – or face concrete measures like those listed above. The UN could potentially vote as soon as September 18. By urging governments and UN representatives that have previously supported Palestine to hold the line, we can pass a measure with real teeth to end genocide. On Fri., Sept. 5 at 10 AM ET, RSVP to attend the webinar: https://lifelineforpalestine.com/end-the-genocide-now

72] – Hideaki Ito [silentfalloutproject.org@gmail.com] wants to give you an update about the Silent Fallout Project. It has been more than five months since Silent Fallout was screened in Baltimore. He wants to express his sincere gratitude to all who supported the project during its US tour and hosted screenings. The film was shown in 20 locations over 43 days to over 600 people. The film aims to raise awareness about the reality of radiation contamination across the American continent and how many Americans are unknowingly exposed. It helps people understand that they are impacted by this issue and then use the US as a starting point to spark a global conversation about radiation.
Currently, the project is facing a deficit of $100K, and its future is uncertain. However, Ito is determined to raise funds and continue its activities. In 2025, which marks the 80th year since the birth of the atomic bomb, there is a plan to embark on a European screening tour, produce a new film, conduct a second US tour, and host a large-scale event on August 6th.
