Sign up https://www.mobilize.us/pfaw/event/482504/?followup_modal_context=organization_newsletter_custom_recommendations. 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. We must hold them accountable! No one is above the law. Reflect on the election, learn about threats and opportunities ahead and discuss how to can continue take action to defend our democracy,
24] – Susan Barnett [reelandmealatnewdealcafe@gmail.com] wants you to know about Reel and Meal taking place on Mon., Nov. 21 at 7 PM ET. See “The Sun Rises in the East,” a film about Community Activism at the New Deal Café, 113 Centerway (Roosevelt Center) in Greenbelt, MD. Masks are encouraged. You can also participate on Zoom. Register at https://tinyurl.com/ReelNMealNov21.
The film, presented by the Utopia Film Festival, is an inspiring documentary about community activism starting in 1960's Brooklyn, New York. The 1954 Brown vs the Board of Education Supreme Court ruling mandated that schools including the New York City school system desegregate. By the early 1960's the political decision was made to bus black children from the mostly black neighborhoods in Brooklyn to all-white neighborhood schools. This had predictable and negative results for all affected. The school system went further and decided to make the already inferior neighborhood schools totally devoid of any educational value. Parents, students and community members rose up and took over the task of educating their children. Community activism, which included strikes, resulted in their receiving a grant from the Ford Foundation to help finance this experiment in education.
This action had very positive results for the students and for the community. Black History was taught along with numerous other relevant classes including very popular performing arts courses. These successes in self-empowerment led to the development of many different successful local cultural facilities, businesses and venues. The film is an inspirational documentary of people demanding opportunity and creating improvement in our society. The conversation following the film will include discussion on how to improve local school system. Jenni Pompi and local teachers will be present to discuss how we can improve a system that started this school year, along with other problems, short 900 teachers.
The Reel and Meal at the New Deal is a monthly film series focused on environmental, social justice and animal rights issues, presented by Utopia Film Festival, the Prince George’s County Peace and Justice Coalition and Beaverdam Creek Watershed Watch Group. For more information on the series see the Reel and Meal Facebook page – www.facebook.com/reelandmealNDC. For more on this month’s event contact Amanda Jennings at ajenni21@outlook.com.
25] – Massachusetts Peace Action [info@masspeaceaction.org] is holding a webinar on Mon., Nov. 21 at 7:30 PM ET -- How President Kennedy’s Trailblazing Vision of World Peace Can Help Us. This is an examination of Kennedy’s 1963 Address at American University. "And is not peace, in the last analysis, basically a matter of human rights — the right to live out our lives without fear of devastation — the right to breathe air as nature provided it — the right of future generations to a healthy existence?” President John F. Kennedy, June 10, 1963 Register at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZEpcO2grDIuHdY0_2VqaDU7TijCeTgwUMng?emci=dafd2931-7367-ed11-ade6-14cb65342cd2&emdi=1850a276-1268-ed11-ade6-14cb65342cd2&ceid=269591. Perhaps no President of the United States has been more understanding of the process of peace than President John F. Kennedy. The President expressed his ideas for everyone in a monumentally important commencement address at American University.
At the time this speech represented a radical break from the Cold War thinking that had followed World War II and had dominated US foreign policy. Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev was so impressed by the speech that he had it reprinted throughout the Soviet Union. This is why the ideas articulated in this speech are so important today, when mankind desperately needs to be able to reach across differences, establish peaceful international cooperation, and end military conflicts. Watch President Kennedy’s American University Speech and listen to remarks by Most Reverend John Wester, the Archbishop of Santa Fe, and Molly McGinty, the Associate Program Director at the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War.

Putin has destroyed Aleppo and Grozny and has threatened the use of nuclear weapons. Russian soldiers were sent into the area around the contaminated and still radioactive Chernobyl nuclear plant. Now they are stationed in the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest in Europe. People who believe in peace and justice should come forward and take the risks of peace.
