45] – Beth Schuman [beth@afcfp.org] hopes you will attend on Thurs., Aug. 18 at 1 PM ET A Theater of the Oppressed Workshop featuring Combatants for Peace founder and actor, Chen Alon. Go to https://secure.everyaction.com/DFfydn3x60u-ZSNBRlCeIQ2?emci=23251fa2-4404-ed11-b47a-281878b83d8a&emdi=8a7c1ee0-341e-ed11-bd6e-281878b83d8a&ceid=8142762. Theatre of the Oppressed (TO) is a form of community-based education that uses theater as a tool for personal, cultural and political transformation. Originally developed in Brazil by visionary actor Augusto Boal, the work was (at first) designed to work with peasant and worker populations. It has since been expanded and exported all over the world for its power in fostering social and political activism, aiding in conflict resolution, helping with community building and personal therapy, and even challenging government legislation.

47] – Learn How to Pass a Local Resolution in Response to the January 6 Investigation, a Virtual Meeting, hosted by January 6 Hearings on Thursdays from 4 to 5 PM EDT. Passing local resolutions helps build momentum on a local, state and national level to protect our freedom to vote from ongoing efforts by Trump and MAGA Republicans to sabotage our elections.
The bipartisan January 6th Select Committee has shown that Trump and his MAGA allies planned, promoted, and paid for a criminal conspiracy to overturn an election they knew they’d lost. Trump and his MAGA allies continue to work to sabotage future elections by changing state laws, threatening state officials and packing election administration offices so that they can have the final say over election results – even when they lose.

54] – Action Corps [katie@actioncorps.org] needs you on Thurs., Aug. 18 at 8 PM ET on World Humanitarian Day. Join the National Call to Action for #GlobalCrisisRelief and call on President Biden to be a humanitarian on World Humanitarian Day. Today we face a crisis like never before. and we have the power to help. COVID, climate disruption, rising food and energy prices, and war have created a “megacrisis.” At home we feel the pain of rising temperatures, gas and grocery prices. Low income countries have it even worse with millions more people pushed into hunger and poverty. With the stroke of a pen, President Biden can trigger a simple, rapid, and cost-free solution: a new issuance of at least $650 billion in Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) at the International Monetary Fund (IMF). This little-known option gives immediate help to recover from shock and meet human needs. No strings attached, no added debt burden, and zero costs to taxpayers. Register at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZIqce6vqDgjGtQPEZqFdH-FrjOKER63wZPir. Get more information at https://www.actioncorps.org/national-call-to-action.html and https://globalcrisisrelief.com/.
