23] – The Feinberg Series [feinberg@umass.edu] on Mon., Nov. 4 at 6 PM ET will hold a virtual event -- the Academic Labor Movement Now. Hear from Joe Berry, Union Organizer, Historian, and Retired Contingent Faculty Member and Diana Vallera, Union Organizer and Adjunct Professor of Photography, Columbia College, Chicago.  In recent decades campuses have relied more and more on contingent instructors and graduate workers who have little job security and often receive poverty wages. As the percentage of tenure-track faculty has plummeted, the number of highly paid administrators has expanded by leaps and bounds. Who and what has driven these shifts? What are the consequences? And how have instructors, students, and community supporters organized to improve labor and learning conditions? Register at https://websites.umass.edu/feinberg/nov4/

24] – The Northern Virginia DSA Medicare for All Working Group will be meeting virtually on Tues., Nov. 5 from 6 to 7 PM ET.

 Discuss the Medicare for All Resolution campaign in Arlington and plan other actions to ensure healthcare as a human right. The group meets on the first and third Tuesday of the month. The meetings are open to the public for all who support healthcare as a human right.

25] – On Mon., Nov. 4 at 7:30 PM, get with Voting Rights: The Struggle to Be Counted (a voting rights film viewing event). In 2024, the threat is much, much greater as we approach Election Day. We have a critical choice to make. We can vote to expand a democracy to include all of our citizens as Rep. John Lewis and others fought and died for; or we can vote to turn the country to election deniers, voter suppressors, and opponents of diversity, equity and inclusion. A choice between HOPE and FEAR. Photographer, film producer and social justice activist, Phil Portlock is presenting his informative and timely film, “VOTING RIGHTS: THE STRUGGLE TO BE COUNTED.” With creative use of music, powerful images and powerful narration by his wife Pat Sloan, the film traces the long and often brutal struggle by African Americans to gain and maintain the unrestricted right to have their votes counted at the ballot box. This film is Phil’s response to the June 25, 2013 U.S. Supreme Court’s 5-4 decision in the Shelby v Holder voting rights case. The five conservative justices declared Section 4b (the coverage clause), and Section 5 (the pre-clearance clause) of the historic 1965 Voting Rights Act unconstitutional. This decision has led to the enactment of hundreds of voter restriction and suppression laws that have impacted the rights of millions of citizens throughout the nation.

26] – CCAN Action Fund [info@ccanactionfund.org] on Tues., Nov. 5 get to Philadelphia on Election Day and gather outside polling places.  "Vote tripling” is a proven way to get MORE people to the polls for Harris. You will get trained and help with FREE lodging. Vote tripling is a proven method first used by Stacey Abrams in Georgia. You simply greet voters who are leaving pro-Harris voting locations and ask them to text three friends on the spot – three friends who might need a boost to get to the polls. You provide a QR code, the voter scans it, and in 60 seconds they’ve reminded three friends to vote.

 Choose a time: Tues., Nov. 5 from 7 to 10 AM, 10 AM to 1 PM ET, 1 to 4 PM or 4 to 8 PM ET. https://www.mobilize.us/ccanactionfund/event/733287/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=engagingnetworks&utm_campaign=ftv&utm_content=FTV-Vote+Triple+Philly-1024-c4

27] – Rachel Kutler [info@jufj.org] wants you to know that Question H is a recipe for disaster.  But there is still time to stop it! Can you volunteer on Nov. 5, Election Day, to stop Question H? Baltimore City is Not for Sale. Please review the available polling places below and click on the button to sign up. Please be aware that these are the top 100 (out of 181 total in the City) and they are in order from biggest to smallest. So please sign up for the ones higher on the list first -- they are the ones with the most voters. Question H, the ballot measure that would reduce Baltimore City Council nearly in half, will be passed, too. Why? Because ballot measures almost always pass in Baltimore City.

 Help defeat Question H by volunteering on Election Day with the Baltimore City Not for Sale Coalition. Put a stop to Question H and the corporate interests behind it by working together.
