41] – Michael Beer, Nonviolence International
[info@nonviolenceinternational.net] is telling us about a book launch on
Thurs., Feb. 10 at 11 AM ET for Peter Ackerman’s The Checklist to End Tyranny. Ackerman
gathers and arranges the best and most cutting-edge research on civil
resistance and combines it with a checklist procedure that he personally
experienced in his work on Wall Street. This book is the culmination of 20
years of experience and research generated by the International Center on
Nonviolent Conflict, which he founded, and it provides a guide for activists
facing severe repression, tyrants, and occupation. Discussants are a star
panel, including Peter Ackerman, Mubarak Awad, Maria Stephan, and Bayingana
Simon Peter. The event will be hosted by Rafif Joujati. Register at https://www.nonviolenceinternational.net/checklist_tyranny_book_registration?utm_campaign=checklist_event&utm_medium=email&utm_source=nonviolenceinternational.
You can download the book or request paper copies to be mailed for free here: https://www.nonviolent-conflict.org/checklist/.
42] – Beth Schuman [beth@afcfp.org] wants you to attend Gaza 101 on Thurs., Feb. 10 from 12:30 to 2 PM ET. Register at https://afcfp.org/gaza-101/?emci=c8e8874e-b989-ec11-a507-281878b83d8a&emdi=48f5b36e-ef89-ec11-a507-281878b83d8a&ceid=8142762. This is the first of four mini-courses. The other dates are Feb. 17, Feb. 24 and March 3. Each mini-course covers a separate subject -- History, Politics, Culture & Economics. The course will be taught by Combatants for Peace, Churches for Middle East Peace and The Arab American Institute. Discussions of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the West all too often neglect to include Gaza and the voices of Palestinians there, seemingly because the situation is seen to be too overwhelming or challenging to take-on.

45] – For the Freedom To Vote Act, there is phone bank training & calling into West Virginia with a patch through to Senator Manchin on Thursdays from 6 to 8 PM. This will continue through Mar. 31. You will need a computer and a telephone (cell or house). Unfortunately, tablets and iPads are incompatible with ThruTalk and will not work effectively. You will also need to download a web browser like Chrome or Firefox. Safari is incompatible with ThruTalk. With over 400 state bills introduced by extremist lawmakers--including in West Virginia--aiming to put up barriers to vote just this year, we cannot afford to fail to pass this bill.
