45] – Join Baltimore Jews for Human Rights for a presentation by a member of Anarchists Against the Wall. AATW member Joseph Dana, a blogger, filmmaker, journalist and activist who has written extensively about Palestine and Israel and who has first hand knowledge of the popular struggle on the ground, will give a multimedia presentation about the joint Israeli-Palestinian popular struggle against the apartheid wall.  The event is on Sun., Nov. 21 at 2 PM at 2640 [St. John’s United Methodist Church, 27th & St. Paul Sts.].  Anarchists Against the Wall (AATW) is an Israeli direct action group that was established in 2003 in response to the construction of the wall Israel is building on Palestinian land in the Occupied West Bank. There will be a request for sliding scale donations from $5 to $10 to go towards AATW's many legal fees.  Go to http://www.awalls.org/.

50] – Be outside City Hall at 4 PM on Mon., Nov. 22 to protest the upcoming vote for Wal-Mart in the City Council.  While it seems inevitable that the anti-union Wal-Mart will be allowed to set up on 25th Street, there is a demand for concessions by Baltimore CAN, a coalition for smart and equitable development.  It’s possible that the richest Wal-Mart family members (Waltons) who are #4, 6, 7, and 8 on the Forbes top ten richest Americans list will be in Baltimore that day to give the city an award for being the easiest city they have ever tried to come into.
