34] – Everyone has a right to safe, stable, affordable housing. But not everyone in Maryland has a home where they can live and thrive.

Protect Our Homes Day is a virtual lobby night where you will learn about Marylanders' housing instability before and during the pandemic, and about how RUM's Housing Justice legislative package can help. Then divide up into breakout rooms by county so you can meet with your state legislators to ask them questions and encourage them to support this critical legislation. RSVP at bit.ly/RUMhomes. At 6 PM, prepare to talk to legislators about housing justice. See https://jufj.org/event/rum-homes/?emci=d13be3af-ec6a-eb11-9889-00155d43c992&emdi=c8c96a53-db6b-eb11-9889-00155d43c992&ceid=3403859.

Four special guests will speak-- Huwaida Arraf, co-founder, International Solidarity Movement; Omar Baddar, political analyst & former deputy director, Arab American Institute; Ariel Gold, co-director, CODEPINK; and Estee Chandler, board member, Jewish Voice for Peace.. Topics will include the International Criminal Court’s investigation of Israeli war crimes; The Boycott-Divest-Sanction (BDS) movement; the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IHRA)’s definition of anti-Semitism and its threat to free speech; and the Biden administration’s complicity with Israeli apartheid. Following the Q & A, ask Biden to reverse two of Trump’s executive orders: Executive Order 13899, adopting the IHRA definition of anti-Semitism as anti-Zionism, and Executive Order 13928, sanctioning those who cooperate with the ICC. Don't miss this important conversation!
36] – After these first few weeks of the Biden administration, it's clearer than ever that we have a tough fight ahead of us. Several of Biden’s nominees, including Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.N. envoy nominee Linda Thomas-Greenfield, have stated their opposition to the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement. Blinken has repeatedly stated that the Biden administration intends to keep the U.S. embassy in Jerusalem rather than moving it back to Tel Aviv, and Thomas-Greenfield has promised to run interference for the Israeli government at the U.N., opposing measures that seek to hold it accountable for human rights violations. For decades, the U.S. government has funded Israeli apartheid while simultaneously shielding it from accountability. Attend Jewish Voice for Peace's next National Legislative Organizing Committee (NLOC) call on Tues., Feb. 23 from 8 to 9:30 PM -- https://act.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/a/2021-02-nloc-call?emci=fa46a897-896d-eb11-9889-00155d43c992&emdi=e458e6fa-ce6f-eb11-9889-00155d43c992&ceid=237778.
