57] –On Sat., July 13 from 1:30 to 4:30 PM ET, join the Stomp out Slumlords Anti-Eviction canvas organized by Metro DC DSA [info@mdcdsa.org]. The Metro DC DSA continues the struggle to save TOPA [Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act]. The landlord lobby is still trying to roll back DC’s Tenant Opportunity to Purchase Act, and tenants across DC are uniting to fight back. While the real estate industry’s efforts to include major TOPA exemptions in the DC budget failed in the spring, they have made their aims clear, and we should expect them to regroup and try again. In response, Stomp out Slumlords has launched a campaign to demand that the DC Council preserve and strengthen TOPA by restoring it to tenants who have been deprived of their rights and funding programs that help tenant associations take advantage of the opportunity to purchase. We are canvassing large apartment buildings citywide to build support for TOPA.
Join the canvass at L'Enfant Plaza Metro Station, 650 D St. SW, WDC 20024. Email SOS at tenants@mdcdsa.org. RSVP at https://actionnetwork.org/events/sos-anti-eviction-canvas-15?source=direct_link&&link_id=65&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&email_referrer=email_2371964&email_subject=metro-dc-dsa-weekly-newsletter-for-june-28-2024
58] –Phone Bank for Cori Bush on Sat., July 13 from 3 to 5 PM ET. Make phone calls to reelect Cori Bush!

Join the Sunrise Movement and the Cori Bush campaign to make phone calls and get out the vote in MO-01. Get Cori Bush reelected! UDP, AIPAC, and an extensive network of far-right billionaires, anti-abortion extremists, and GOP mega-donors are spending millions in their effort to defeat Cori Bush, having recruited her opponent to enter this race. It's going to take organized people power, talking to voters, to beat this big money. No experience is necessary as first-timers will be trained at the beginning of every calling session. Return callers can dive right in. This phone bank will continue through Tues., Aug. 6 from 11 AM to 6:30 PM ET.

61] – From accredited Japanese director Hideaki Ito comes SILENT FALLOUT which tells the untold stories of the victims of nuclear testing in America. The documentary will be at Annapolis Friends Meetings House on July 15, in Washington DC at American University on July 16, in Baltimore at 7 PM at Homewood Friends Meeting House, 3107 N. Charles St. on July 17 and at Towson University on July 27. Unfortunately, the US nuclear arsenal is stealing billions of tax dollars from numerous social programs. This documentary could lead to discussions about why is the US government wasting funds on weapons of mass destruction? Check out this list of upcoming screenings: https://us.fallout22.com/tour/?emci=730c6b43-12c9-ee11-85f9-002248223794&emdi=ea000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000001&ceid=#schedule
Director Hideaki Ito chronicles the story of radiation exposure and harm in the U.S., and the previously untold story of those who tried to expose it. In 1951, nuclear weapons testing began on the US mainland. Hundreds of miles away in St. Louis, Dr. Louise Reiss began collecting baby teeth from other mothers in her community. Through studying these teeth, Reiss found that American children—not just the so-called “Utah Downwinders”—had been exposed to dangerous levels of radiation. Silent Fallout traces these stories and others, journeying from Salt Lake City, to Virginia, to Missouri, to the United Kingdom, and to Japan, exposing the government deception behind the bomb.
