32] – On Tues., Jan. 21
through Fri., Jan. 24 from noon to 3 PM, FLOOD D.C. & Demand Trump/Pence
#OutNow by Refuse Fascism at the United States Capitol, Washington D.C.
20515. Now is the time for determined
struggle by the people to go all the way to demand: Trump/Pence #OUTNOW! Trump
carries out a brazen war crime by assassinating a high ranking official of
Iran, threatening more. He reminds the world that a dangerous bully heading a
fascist regime has an itchy Twitter-finger on the nuclear button. The danger of
all-out war remains even as Trump’s sanctions intensify the suffering of the
Iranian people. See

inside the Hart Senate Office Building on benches by The Mountain sculpture. (It’s
huge, you can't miss it!) Visit

36] – On
Tues., Jan. 21 from 6 to 8 PM, hear about The Democracy Rebellion: A Reporter’s
Notebook, hosted by the Woman's National Democratic Club, 1526 New
Hampshire Ave. NW, WDC 20036. Tickets
are at events.r20.constantcontact.com. The Democracy Rebellion is the missing
story of American politics: not Washington, but grassroots America; not stale
gridlock, but fresh reforms; not negative ads and billionaire donors, but
positive change and citizen activists pressing for action. Their demands include gerrymander reform,
voting rights for former felons, exposing dark money, and winning surprising
victories to give voters more voice and make elections fairer in states as
disparate as Florida and California, North Carolina and South Dakota, Ohio,
Michigan, Colorado, Missouri, Utah, and more.
2018 was the best year for political reform since the 1960s, and reforms
are having real impact. Connecticut’s public funding of campaigns has transformed
state politics—who can afford to run, more women and minorities in office, less
lobbyist influence on the legislature. California’s crackdown exposing how
dark-money funding-networks operate, provides a model for other states.
Florida’s path-breaking gerrymander reform, voted in by a huge supermajority,
shocked the power elite and caught lawmakers secretly violating the law. “The
message,” says Florida grassroots leader Ellen Freidin, “is our political
system can be fixed. Get out there and fix it.”
Hedrick
Smith, a Pulitzer Prize–winning former New York Times reporter, editor, and
Emmy Award–winning producer/correspondent, has established himself as one of
America’s premier journalists. In this latest documentary, he takes viewers
into half a dozen states with citizen activist leaders like Cindy Black
mobilizing an army of volunteers in Washington State to overturn “Citizens
United;” with TakeItBack.org, a prairie revolt demanding clean elections in
South Dakota; and with North Carolina’s Moral Monday movement and Rev. William
Barber fighting for voter rights. Smith
will be available for Q&A after the screening. Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/2426170787697323/.

by Showing Up for Racial Justice, Montgomery County before the Montgomery
County Council, 100 Maryland Ave., Rockville 20850. Show Up to OPPOSE County Council Bill that
Would Reinforce School to Prison Pipeline! The County Council will consider a
bill that puts our children at risk of abuse and criminalization by increasing
police in our schools, and puts Black, Latinx, and Indigenous populations at
risk of arrest and violence by increasing police in our communities. Bill 33-19, “Community Policing” has been
framed as a reform bill, but instead it mandates increased police presence in
schools and communities.

AM on Tuesday: https://www.montgomerycountymd.gov/COUNCIL/PHSignUp.html. Use this link to urge your representatives to
