29] – 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 shown on July 16 at 7 PM in Washington, D.C. at American University, Abrahamson Family Recital Hall, Katzen Art Center, 4400 Massachusetts Ave. NW, WDC 20016. Go to https://www.eventbrite.com/e/silent-fallout-film-showing-and-panel-discussion-tickets-923275410607?aff=oddtdtcreator
See the documentary 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.

30] –Max Cotterill [info@medicare4all.org] wants you on Tues., July 16 at 8 PM ET to help send an undeniable message about Medicare for All to those in power. Join this virtual event to generate 1,000 completed health care surveys before time runs out. The U.S. health care system is in crisis, and it deserves to be one of the most-discussed issues leading up to the critical November election. The group is currently conducting a national health care survey to hear directly from as many people as possible and so that the results can be shared publicly and build the political momentum needed to pass Medicare for All. This will be a fun, interactive way to learn how to conduct this survey with people you know. RSVP at https://zoom.us/meeting/register/tJcsc-yhqjspHNFPmG6bj1_cB66PIRuRKj1v?akid=222164.162593.hq1Wwy&rd=1&t=1#/registration

33] – The American Friends of Combatants for Peace [lindsay@afcfp.org] are supporting a film festival. Kick off the CollectiveED film festival virtually for three conversations on three films related to Palestine and Israel. For each film, you will be provided a link to screen the film on your own, in advance, for free. During the follow-up virtual events, dive deeper through live conversations with the directors and casts. See the first film, Israelism, and then on Wed., July 17 at 1 PM ET join the dialogue. Israelism follows two young American Jews - Simone Zimmerman and Eitan - who are raised to defend the state of Israel at all costs. Eitan joins the Israeli military. Simone supports Israel on "the other battlefield:" America’s college campuses. When they witness Israel’s mistreatment of the Palestinian people with their own eyes, they are horrified and heartbroken. Watch as they join the movement of young American Jews battling the old guard over Israel’s centrality in American Judaism, and demanding freedom for the Palestinian people.
Hear from Jewish filmmaker and director, Erin Axelman, as well as Israelism cast members and activists, Simone Zimmerman and Sami Awad. The conversation will be moderated by Israelism producer and AFCFP board member, Gili Getz.
