44] – Massachusetts Peace Action [info@masspeaceaction.org] on Wed., April 29 at 7 PM thinks you may be interested in this webinar -- Iran, the United States, and Why this War Matters. Did Iranians come into existence in 1979 and start shouting “Death to America”? Iran is one of the most consistently demonized nations in U.S. discourse. U.S. officials, and media, frequently use obscene, dehumanizing, and misleading language with regards to Iran. The main presenter, Bahar Sharafi, is an Iranian-American activist, born in Tehran with family there. Now living in Dorchester, she is a MAPA board member and co-chair of the MAPA-initiated Stop the US War on Iran committee. A second presenter will explain actions you can take and how to get involved. Bahar is the narrator of the short film “A Glimpse of Iran“, which shares sights, sounds and reflections from her last trip to Iran, and describes what it feels like to live in America while it wages an illegal war on her homeland. RSVP at https://masspeaceaction.org/event/iran-the-united-states-and-why-this-war-matters/
45] – Peace Action [info@peaceaction.org] on Wed., April 29 at 7:30 PM is hosting Congressperson Ro Khanna LIVE. Last month, as Trump’s war in Iran continued to escalate, Representative Ro Khanna worked alongside anti-war Republican Thomas Massie to force a vote on a War Powers Resolution to end the war. Indeed, Rep. Khanna has been vocal opponent to all wars during his time in office. He has called for a ceasefire in Gaza from the start, condemned Trump’s actions in Venezuela, voted against a trillion dollar Pentagon budget, and has led House efforts to end this latest Iran War.

Ro is now facing a primary challenger backed by billionaire donors and special interests. Ro’s calls to tax the rich threaten the billionaires growing their wealth at the expense of working families. And his efforts to spotlight the genocide in Gaza and hold Israel accountable threatens AIPAC’s (American Israeli Public Affairs Committee) pro-Israel agenda. These groups have joined forces to challenge Ro.
46] – People vs. Fossil Fuels [info+build-back-fossil-free-info@email.actionnetwork.org] on Wed., April 29 from 8 to 9 PM ET wants you to join an Action Hour against Big Oil Immunity. Representative Hageman and Senator Cruz introduced legislation in the House and Senate that would offer oil and gas companies total immunity from climate laws and lawsuits. If passed, these bills would undermine all efforts across the United States to hold the oil and gas industry accountable for knowingly fueling the climate crisis.
47] – Americans for Financial Reform [info@ourfinancialsecurity.org] on Thurs.., April 30 at 1 PM ET will hold a webinar How to Stop Property Insurance Profiteering. While people are struggling to pay rising insurance bills and climate change is causing increasing property damage, insurance companies are generating record high profits. What can we do to shift this equation so the insurance industry actually provides adequate coverage to people and communities at rates they can afford? Learn about the origins of insurance rate regulation and how states can strengthen present day protections to make insurance affordable. Explore the various ways insurance companies are skirting accountability, passing rising costs from the climate crisis on to their policy holders, spending billions on advertising and executives and padding their profits.
