32] – Wednesday, March 14, marks one month since the horrific Parkland shooting. Students and teachers around the country will commemorate this day by walking out and taking a moment of silence to honor those who were lost in Florida and the hundreds of thousands of people who we have lost to gun violence. Stand with them– join parents, kids and activists from across Maryland to say that WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH! Join Marylanders to Prevent Gun Violence and MomsRising in Annapolis on Wed., Mar. 14 to urge our lawmakers to advance legislation to respond to and address this very real crisis. The day begins at 9 AM, and will include a rally, conversations with legislators, lunch and an appearance at a hearing on House Bill 1774, legislation which would create a task force to study the effectiveness of different types of restrictions. It is a small step, but most important a chance to push for action. Register at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSda-PMlAzJuAhwygIIKx2NirLxrSdKqXTKVOdkg1tle3hIe-g/viewform.

Women’s March Youth EMPOWER is calling for students, teachers, school administrators, parents and allies to take part in a #NationalSchoolWalkout for 17 minutes at 10 AM across every time zone on March 14, 2018 to protest Congress’ inaction to do more than tweet thoughts and prayers in response to the gun violence plaguing our schools and neighborhoods. We need action. Students and allies are organizing the national school walkout to demand Congress pass legislation to keep us safe from gun violence at our schools, on our streets and in our homes and places of worship. Students and staff have the right to teach and learn in an environment free from the worry of being gunned down in their classrooms or on their way home from school. Parents have the right to send their kids to school in the mornings and see them home alive at the end of the day. See https://www.facebook.com/events/571083253274566/.

This moment of silence will occur in accordance with the rest of the nation for seventeen full minutes. Afterwards, students will continue protesting for the remainder of the day.

They have hosted rolling encampments, paddled against the pipeline, joined hands across the James Rumsey Bridge and most recently surrounded Governor Hogan’s mansion and asked him to keep his fracking promise. With just days left before the final decision is made on the Potomac Pipeline, join a sit-in at Governor Hogan’s mansion in an act of civil disobedience. Urge Hogan to stop the pipeline for future and current generations. All are welcome to attend – if you are interested in risking arrest, or not.
If you wish to participate in the civil disobedience action, it will be coordinated with legal support and the Capital Police to coordinate the procedure for arrest and release.

In his new book, Bryant Simon investigates the tragic 1991 chicken processing plant fire in the small town of Hamlet, North Carolina. This was one of the worst accidents in recent American history, causing twenty-five deaths behind their locked doors. Simon’s interviews with survivors, first responders, workplace safety experts, and local business professionals give a hard-hitting social autopsy of this gruesome event. The book shows in vivid detail how this fire was the nearly inevitable product of what we eat, the rush for deregulation and the even larger American obsession and devotion to the “values of cheap,” values that we can’t seem to shake in the ‘Wal-Mart world” of today. Call 443-602-7585. RSVP at http://www.redemmas.org.

ReInvest Coalition at Cleveland Park Congregational UCC, 3400 Lowell St. NW, WDC 20016. Currently, the main function of Wall Street banks is profit at any cost- which has led to everything from redlining and racist lending practices to financing pipelines and private prisons. All of these practices hurt, rather than help, the community. It’s time for D.C. to stop banking with Wall Street and to make our taxes work for all the people of D.C. by establishing a public bank, divesting from Wells Fargo, and reinvesting in environmental and economic justice. You are invited to a community forum featuring Councilmember David Grosso, Councilmember Mary Cheh, and the D.C. Reinvest Coalition to learn more and support efforts to use DC's finances to promote economic justice and equity. See https://www.facebook.com/events/303950176797015/.
