Fraternal Organization of Honduras (OFRANEH). Since 1978, the group has served
as the representative organization for and a leading voice in Honduras for the
self-determination and dignity of the Garífuna people in Honduras, a
matrilineal people who are both Indigenous and Afro-descendent, whose ancestral
territory in Honduras is principally along the northern coast and under
constant threat from African palm plantations, Canadian and U.S. tourist
operations, mining, energy projects, and drug trafficking.
50] – Akshita Siddula [info@email.actionnetwork.org] is inviting you to a Right to Health Action on Wed., October 13 at 8 PM ET. Learn how protecting Indigenous communities prevents pandemics. Change the status quo, pandemic-proof the planet, make a dent in climate change, and support the sovereignty and health of Indigenous people around the world. Attend this All Hands meeting to learn from a progressive expert working at the front lines of planetary health. Hear about how to plug in to organizing strategy to pass the International Pandemic Preparedness and COVID-19 Response Act (S.2297). Come learn from Jonathan Jennings, Executive Director of Health in Harmony, about an international health group that practices “radical listening” in Indigenous and rainforest communities in Brazil, Indonesia and Madagascar. Health in Harmony’s work demonstrates that the way to stop pandemics is to provide healthcare and jobs that restore and protect the environment, rather than exploiting impoverished communities and natural resources at the rainforest edge.

56] –Join Progressive Maryland on Throw down Thursdays. Phonebank and text bank with the team every Thursday from 6 to 7:30 PM ET. Every week call or text voters across the state for a number of important issues.
This Thursday, make calls to demand Cannabis be legalized! Today in Maryland there are about 15,000 arrests per year that are related to Cannabis-- this puts far too many people at risk and needlessly clogs our justice system. It’s long past time for full legalization. 18 other states and the District of Columbia have already legalized Cannabis and none have experienced the ill-effects that legalization opponents claimed would happen. Sign up at https://www.mobilize.us/progressivemarylandneweraproject/event/416692/?emci=aec88b66-4f25-ec11-981f-501ac510a405&emdi=3c6cbf59-5125-ec11-981f-501ac510a405&ceid=136680.
57] –Join activists around the country at a virtual phonebank to urge voters in key states to demand their senators’ support of the Freedom to Vote Act! Our democracy is in crisis: with redistricting around the corner and hundreds of voter suppression laws being introduced in states across the country, we do not have time to wait. Every day we’re getting closer to a very real deadline to take action. If the Senate does not overcome the filibuster and pass this legislation, states may not have enough time to implement the legislation’s regulations before the 2022 midterm elections! Join activists around the country at a Common Cause virtual phonebank to urge voters in key states to demand their senators’ support the vote! RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/pfaw/event/376178/?utm_source=PFAW to call on Thurs., Oct. 14 from 6 to 8 PM ET, Fri., Oct. 15 from 4 to 6 PM ET, and Sat., Oct. 16 from noon to 2 PM ET and 1 to 3 PM ET.
58] – Revisit the clash of ideas between Henry George and Karl Marx and their followers. This four-session lectures series presents the story of how George’s emergence as a populist voice for systemic reform in the 19th century coincided with the equal populist socialist movement attached to Marx. Both of these innovative thinkers attracted many thoughtful (and controversial) supporters to their cause, and these supporters frequently debated one another, worked in collaboration or competed for influence and public support. These lectures tell the story by instructor, Edward J. Dodson on Thursday – 10/14, 10/21, 10/28, and 11/4 from 6:30 to 8 PM EDT. Sign up at https://www.hgsss.org/henry-george-karl-marx-and-their-followers-a-century-of-intense-rivalry/.

60] – Mass. Peace Action [info@masspeaceaction.org] is letting you know that on Thurs., Oct. 14 from 7 to 8 PM ET get The who, what & why of Ethiopia’s Wars and the U.S. response. Register at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZcsdemgqT8uHdP9MOL1pQ4x27aLxIXI9hef?emci=0120a4ae-852b-ec11-981f-c896653b9208&emdi=51749078-862b-ec11-981f-c896653b9208&ceid=269591. Four armies along with several ad hoc militias are fighting in and around northern Ethiopia’s Tigray region. Each side blames the other(s) for atrocities, amid warnings of mass starvation and accusations of genocide. The U.S., a long-time strategic partner of Ethiopia, calls for an end to hostilities and a negotiated settlement, threatening sanctions against all parties. All this in a country led by a recent Nobel Peace prize winner. Gloucester-based author and activist Dan Connell will try to sort this out in a MAPA webinar and explore the prospects and possibilities for peace in the region.
