28] – On Thurs., Sept. 27 at 10 AM, come to a Fund The
Trust Rally & then attend an 11 AM hearing, hosted by the Baltimore
Housing Roundtable at the Baltimore City Hall, 100 N. Holliday St.,
Baltimore 21202. From the launch of the 20/20 Campaign in January 2016, through
the collection of 18,000 signatures that summer to put Question J on the ballot
in November and passing with an overwhelming 83% of the vote... every phone
call, petition signature, door knocked, community meeting has led to this
moment. Earlier this month, an historic agreement with Baltimore's leadership
was reached to put 20 million dollars a year towards creating affordable
housing and development without displacement in our city: $20 Million every
year to #FundTheTrust!
The Fund the Trust Act will be heard by Councilwoman Middleton's Taxation and
Finance Committee, and passing the Fund the Trust Act will be a decisive step
towards a more equitable, accountable, participatory, universal, and
transparent city- one that recognizes the power of the people. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/675591632797810/.

On Thurs.,
Sept. 27 at noon, the Economic Policy Institute, 1225 I St. NW, Sixth floor,
WDC 20005, will host author Dan Kaufman for a discussion on his new book, “The
Fall of Wisconsin: The Conservative Conquest of a Progressive Bastion and the
Future of American Politics.” For more than a century, Wisconsin has been known
nationwide for its progressive ideas and government. But following a Republican
sweep of the state’s government in 2010, Wisconsin’s political heritage was
overturned, and the state went Republican for the first time in three decades
in the 2016 presidential election, elevating Donald J. Trump to the presidency.
The Fall of Wisconsin is a deeply reported, searing account of how the
state’s progressive tradition was undone and turned into a model for national
conservatives bent on remaking the country.
Kaufman,
a Wisconsin native, traces the history of progressivism that made Wisconsin so
widely admired, from the work of celebrated politicians like Robert "Fighting
Bob" La Follette and Gaylord Nelson, to local traditions like Milwaukee’s “sewer
socialism,” to the conservationist ideas of Aldo Leopold and the state’s Native
American tribes. Kaufman reveals how the “divide-and-conquer” strategy of
Governor Scott Walker and his allies pitted Wisconsin’s citizens against one
another so powerful corporations and wealthy donors could effectively take
control of state government. As a result, laws protecting voting rights, labor
unions, the environment, and public education were rapidly dismantled.
This
event is free and open to the public, and lunch will be provided. Your RSVP
will help us prepare. RSVP at https://www.epi.org.

Baltimore voters have a chance to score a major win
in the fight against corruption. Join RepresentUs members on
Thurs.,
Sept. 27 from 7 to 9 PM to kick off the
campaign to pass Ballot Question H, the Baltimore City Fair Election Fund at the Next Phase Café, 112 E Lexington
St.,
Baltimore 21202. RSVP at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdIRmJPLe9fkdpvTjIaP4KjFjJjg7G5Z8ZjvhDis9Bb3akA0w/viewform.
Question H is a charter amendment to
establish a new program to empower small donors in Baltimore.
Large campaign contributions from special interests mean
Baltimore families are often left out. Candidates are stuck fundraising from
big donors, giving them less and less time to hear from constituents. That’s
why RepresentUs has officially endorsed the Yes on H campaign to fight
corruption – so every voice is heard. The
Baltimore City Fair Election Fund will elevate the voice of everyday citizens and
reduce the influence of large donors by providing matching funds for small
donors if candidates don’t take large contributions. Baltimore can join
communities across the country moving towards this new way to fund elections.

On Thurs., Sept. 27, Fri., Sept.
28 and Sat., Sept. 29, see Putin On Ice (that isn't the real title of this
show), by Lola B. Pierson, directed by Yury Urnov and co-produced
by The Acme Corporation and Single Carrot Theatre, 2600 N.
Howard St., Suite 1200, Baltimore 21218. There are 16 dates through Oct.
7. Performances from Thursdays
through Saturdays are at 8 PM, and on Sundays at 3 PM, Tickets
are at singlecarrot.com.
Everything that happens on
stage is a lie. This spectacle is a fantastical new portrait of Vladimir Putin.
This ostentatious piece blends counterfeit ancient texts, falsified scientific
data, and manipulated video evidence to create something entirely new and
thrillingly strange. Putin is elevated from man to myth, stretching through
time to become more deity than dictator. You are free to leave at any time.
Pay-What-You-Can Previews are September 12 and 13. A limited number of
$10 tickets will be available for purchase at the door on the day of the
performance. The box office opens one hour before the show, at which point

cooperatives play in growing local economy and sustaining jobs, as well as
provide examples of some of this ongoing work. The panel may also address
several barriers that currently inhibit cooperative development in some sectors
of the economy, and discuss how best to address these problems going forward.
A
specific focus of the panel discussion will include the governance and
accountability models used to manage a business in which the employees own and
control their workplace, how worker-owners balance the needs of the business
with the needs of the individual member and ways in which governance and
management practices can create a successful business based on human
dignity. See https://www.facebook.com/events/252469715472402/.

– On
Fri., Sept. 28 at 10 AM, get over to In Their Footsteps: Woman Suffrage
Walking Tour, hosted by National Women's History Museum starting at the
Ulysses S. Grant Memorial, 1st St. NW, WD C 20004. Follow the route of
the 1913 Woman Suffrage Procession through DC and gain an understanding of the
suffragist struggle for equality and the right to vote. The American woman
suffrage movement is recognized as officially starting in 1848, at the Seneca
Falls Women's Rights Convention in New York. Over the next 72 years,
generations of activist women (and men) worked tirelessly until the 19th
Amendment was adopted. It took the efforts of a wide range of women, from the
most radical advocates of male and female equality, to women who saw the right
to vote as necessary to more effectively advocate for moral and social reform.
Their efforts to succeed set the stage for grassroots efforts to come, proving
that determined citizens can achieve change.
The
tour begins at the Capitol Reflecting Pool by the Ulysses S Grant Memorial. The
nearest metro is Federal Center SW (Blue/Orange/Silver line). The tour will
cover about 1.5 miles, last about 2 hours, and end in Lafayette Square across
from the White House. Meet your tour guide on the steps of the Ulysses S Grant
Memorial by the Capitol Reflecting Pool. See https://www.facebook.com/events/229001737831507/.

– It is a violation of
U.S. law for us to attack a country that has not attacked us, as only
Congress can declare war. The Trump administration is nevertheless beating the
war drums for war against Iran and North Korea. The Mueller investigation is
tightening the vise, and could cause Trump to attack those countries in order
to divert attention from Russian interference in the 2016
presidential election. Such a military strike would demand an immediate
and unequivocal response from us to show that we will not tolerate his abuse of
power.
Let's mobilize to show that we the
people will not tolerate another military adventure, which would be bound
to have profound negative consequences. If a preemptive military strike
against Iran or North Korea takes place, then meet outside the War Memorial, 101 N. Gay St., Baltimore, MD 21202. If the
attack is before 2 PM local time, then events will begin at 5 PM,
local time. If the attack occurs after 2 PM local time, then events
will begin at noon, local time, the following day. Contact Max

– JONAH HOUSE NEEDS WORKERS FOR PEACE AND JUSTICE
After 44 years of resisting weapons and war, Jonah House is
Baltimore is in danger of shutting down. Two of the three core members have
announced their intention to leave the community as of May 2018. That leaves
one core member, Joe Byrne, who will remain to recruit and re-form intentional
community. But if no one steps forward, Jonah House will have to close. Jonah House was founded by Phil Berrigan, Liz
McAlister, and others, in 1973, during the Vietnam War. It was a center of
resistance to that war. When the war ended, the focus of resistance became the
nuclear arms race. This resistance blossomed into the Plowshares movement.
Jonah House members have spent years in jail for Plowshares disarmament
actions. Other members have spent years supporting them, and doing the work of
the community in their absence. Resistance to weapons and war continues at
Jonah House. More recently, Jonah House has also become involved in racial
justice efforts in Baltimore, and the environmental justice movement.
Jonah House is planted in the middle of a 22-acre,
mostly-wooded cemetery in West Baltimore called St. Peter’s. Maintaining and
slowly restoring St. Peter’s Cemetery is the work that pays the bills for the
community. Jonah House also uses the property to serve the living as well as
honor the dead. Our gardens and orchards feed the Jonah House community, and
the surrounding neighborhood community, via a food pantry and weekly food
distribution to low-income neighbors. We envision the cemetery—particularly the
11-acre forest patch—as a haven for the people of the neighborhood,
international peace activists, and numberless living beings.
Jonah House is also an interfaith spiritual community. We pray or
meditate together daily, and our spiritual practice informs and empowers
everything we do, whether in the fields or in the streets. To continue the vision, Jonah House is looking for a few
new core members willing to commit to a two-year stint. We are also open to
short- and long-term interns (3 months to a year). The work of radical
peacemaking, direct service to the poor, and stewarding the land requires
workers. We pray that God will send laborers to the vineyard (yes, we have that
too) and that Jonah House will continue to comfort the afflicted and afflict
the comfortable for another 44 years! For more information, call 443-804-3410, or email us
at engage@jonahhouse.org.
