37] - MAPA Education Fund [info@masspeaceaction.org] on
Wed., Feb. 25 at 5:30 PM ET hopes you will check out While Iran Boils, Trump’s
“Peace Plan” threatens Palestinian Existence. US imperial intervention has
denied Iranians and Palestinians self-determination for 75 years. Coupled with
an examination of the U.S./Israel/Iran crisis, Jeremy Scahill and Rami G. Khouri
reveal how the president’s “board of peace” promises a new, dangerous and
unaccountable stage of U.S./European/Israeli policy in the Middle East. At
this moment when Palestinian national existence hangs in the balance, there
could be no better opportunity to understand the significance of stunning
events now taking place in Gaza and the West Bank than hearing from these two
expert journalists. Media coverage of the Palestinian crisis has
dramatically shrunk since Trump announced his “Peace Plan” for Gaza, but every
day Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza are killed, driven off their land,
or die in large numbers when denied sufficient food, medical care and supplies
needed to survive malnutrition and the elements. They will explain not just
what is happening in Palestine but will examine the frightening realities of
Israeli and U.S. policy that lay behind this next phase of the genocide. Of special interest, they will examine
President Trump’s “peace agreement” and the Board of Peace, headed by Trump
himself. If the present is harsh, the future laid out in this peace agreement
is truly ominous. Scahill and Khouri will examine in detail not just how this
bizarre Trump agreement came about but the threat it poses to the very possibility
of a Palestinian state. RSVP at https://secure.everyaction.com/Si9ZDZiWeEecclq_dtaAvg2?ms=email-260223&emci=39cf12b2-2f0f-f111-a69a-000d3a57593f&emdi=23c1f08d-cc10-f111-a69a-000d3a57593f&ceid=269591
38] - The Northern Virginia DSA Labor Working Group will
meet on Wed., Feb. 25 from 6:30 to 8 PM at the Central Library, 1015
North Quincy St., Arlington, VA 22201. US Socialists have historically won
major victories for the working class by organizing in the workplace, forming
unions, engaging in strikes, and taking collective action. From the 8-hour
workday to basic health and safety standards, nearly every right we have on the
job was fought for and won by organized labor.
Join
the meeting and develop our strategy for solidarity, outreach, new worker
organizing and building militancy.

39] - Public School
Strong [info@publicschoolstrong.org] on Wed., Feb. 25 at 7 PM ET needs your
input -- school board members, superintendents, and principals carry influence
in their communities. When they speak clearly and publicly in defense of
students, they can shift the political landscape. They can reject fear and
intimidation. They can refuse to comply with harmful directives that target
vulnerable children and strip resources from public schools. Tune into “If Not
Now: Moving Local Officials to Defend Our Students. This training will equip
you with the strategy, tools, and confidence to move your local public
officials into visible opposition and collective action.

40] – NH Peace Action
[info@nhpeaceaction.org] on Wed., Feb. 25 from 7 to 8:30 PM is holding a
webinar Global Power
Dynamics: The U.S. in The Middle East. Ambassador Chas
Freeman will share his insights into US foreign policy and the complexities of
US diplomacy. Since the US Global War on Terror began in 2001, an estimated
4.5-4.7 million people in the Middle East have been killed and 37 million
displaced. The depravity of Trump World and its foreign policy has seeded
disillusionment and animosity, both domestically and internationally. Where is
there potential for peace and freedom from tyranny? How much bloodshed,
destruction, and terror is the Trump administration willing to tolerate to
achieve its objectives? What is on the horizon for the people of the Levant?
