35] – Scientists for Palestine [admin@scientists4palestine.com] on Wed., May 14 at 1 PM ET, Professor Nadia Abu El-Haj,  for the next installment of the Bisan Lecture Series, will discuss After Humanitarianism. Register here to get the Zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/A5cgFQGVR6Gyp244hkSpFg#/registration

 In the ruins of Gaza lie not just the destruction of the post-war “International Order”, as many are arguing, but also, the exposure of fatal contradictions built into its very foundation. In this talk, Professor Nadia will explore Israel’s genocidal war and consider how, in the face of all the slaughter and destruction live-streamed every day for over a year, there can remain any doubt about Israel’s “intentions.”

36] – The Institute for the Study of Christian Zionism will host a discussion on Wed., May 14 at 1 PM ET.  It is dedicated to the study, critique and response to Christian Zionism. Call 202-368-3249 or email director@studychristianzionism.org 

37] – On Wed., May 14 from 2 to 3:30 PM ET at 500 1st St. NW, Room 750, WDC, check out Death Squads, Deportations, and the Rule of Law: Tracing the Roots of Today’s Crisis co-sponsored by the Human Rights Institute at Georgetown Law and the Berkley Center <berkleycenter@georgetown.edu> for Religion, Peace, and World Affairs.  Panelists will review conflict between respect for the rule of law and supposed national security interests in the U.S. relationship with El Salvador. RSVP at https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSffY9mMq0Q-1Aa6u0IYrXtptrWY-NFhJs4M3svzepe4hN-z7g/viewform

When Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele and U.S. President Donald Trump met at the White House last month, they shared a viral moment of mutual admiration, with Bukele vowing to imprison U.S. deportees indefinitely—despite U.S. court orders to ensure their return—and Trump urging Bukele, under whom El Salvador has surpassed the United States as having the highest incarceration rate in the world, to "build more prisons" to make room for U.S. citizens Trump intends to send there.  This conflict between respect for the rule of law and supposed interests of national security in the U.S. relationship with El Salvador goes back many decades. The 1980 murder of four American churchwomen in El Salvador was a defining event in that bilateral relationship, and the search for justice and accountability is a case study—and a cautionary tale—about the long-term consequences of extreme violence, a dysfunctional legal system, and impunity of those responsible for the worst war crimes. Join us for a discussion about the roots of today's crisis with George Black, Jeffrey Smith, Isabel Carlota Roby, and Elisa Massimino. Refreshments will be provided.

38] – The Union of Concerned Scientists [action@ucs.org] on Wed., May 14 at 4 PM ET will hold a webinar: Estimating big polluters’ sea level rise responsibility. Register at https://secure.ucs.org/a/2025-5-14-tracing-tides?contactdata=EnWznkvSU0Xbv0XjQbhwAysJM5thn06txxo3YfKsdbfmaOuga%2fhXU98eG%2fP68fMjkhAu%2fUxgGT4lBOd8eAfCg2eQODia6hX6NhbDAMnim+V4Gi1gMoDzuRTiOfXeHo3bAOnrOFCjvHGN0+dia7ZmRAukJe5b3BCbK5BMHuOGWqZotCmXGo6NcCsUkHwwm7RjDiIYoyN+ALruKrenAbjeo1ttDMUUO9OdOf23u2qUrbv96fZ5rJN1v23mV3ktFUg7480AOiVnpv9R%2fcAC9qNoQA%3d%3d&utm_campaign=email&utm_medium=email&utm_source=email&emci=fb02b61c-5d24-f011-8b3d-6045bded8cca&emdi=f1387ce7-2925-f011-8b3d-6045bded8cca&ceid=1507036

Join to learn about recent research that quantified how emissions traced to the largest polluters contributed to present-day surface air temperature rise and sea level rise. Nearly half of the increase in present-day average surface temperature and one-third of present-day sea level rise can be traced to emissions from the 122 largest fossil fuel producers and cement manufacturers, according to new research by the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS). These big polluters, known as the carbon majors, have locked in as much as 22 inches of global sea level rise by 2300.

The Movement, a weekly Pro-Democracy, Anti-Trump, Anti-Putin vigil, gathers on a heavily trafficked Baltimore street corner. We invite others who feel the same way to join the Movement. You do not need to be old to join this movement. This event will continue through June 25.

40] –MomsRising.org [info@momsrising.org] on Wed., May 14 at 8:30 PM ET for the Mother’s Day Virtual Town Hall. All the moms are needed to help protect our families, secure our democracy, and to speak out against the attacks Trump and Republicans are launching against our health care, education, and economy. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/momsrising/event/783228/?utm_campaign=outreach&utm_medium=email&utm_source=actionkit

Thom Tillis to say no to the Trump budget plan. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/783943/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=_20250513

42] –Appalachian Voices [actions@appvoices.org] on Thurs., May 15 at noon ET will host Holler about handouts for polluters over our communities! Legislators are considering a massive spending and tax bill that will cut access to healthcare for millions of people and eliminate clean energy programs to pay for handouts to polluting methane gas and coal companies and billionaires. RSVP at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/EiCmlcfkTHea4anK0ZqFAg#/registration?link_id=4&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&source=email-may-15-holler-about-handouts-for-polluters-at-the-expense-of-our-communities-health&email_referrer=email_2733771&email_subject=may-15-holler-about-handouts-for-polluters-over-our-communities&&

43] – The American Friends of Combatants for Peace [office@afcfp.org] on Thurs., May 15 at 1 PM will host the annual Joint Nakba Remembrance Ceremony, which—like its sister ceremony—invites us to grieve across divides and cultivate hope for a different future. You are invited to join the virtual livestream so that our grief and hope may be complete. RSVP at https://secure.everyaction.com/RUJGPRawKk2heJohjRmXfw2?contactdata=N75%2fsbU8CJ6yZa8Lqx0OVKEWxC2VNMJz7BPs4TJz2gX9cXbe4OfpBQ6rDJPmdkdoxxtlVvX2JdB58rzigr9roOx7q3VuHoLkvr8%2fhFE0Em6zN9gO6EGqfzwcZNmkbTPzRVUSDIOOJ7gbeGalphdiw19njSXdv78KuRw5FTvrbiJfVPDPutHV2mVIL4aMYQscLvypjMzcd3dfekzw2NNPvjKmhK3VTn5T7ccGWirszz4nrVzwDX9N6+iRfxsrnd0Ko%2fWFnJsYb1pzzJiscTJPag%3d%3d&emci=4dc38d56-c526-f011-8b3d-6045bded8cca&emdi=39d1ffc0-5d27-f011-8b3d-6045bded8cca&ceid=8142762

This year’s theme, “Holding onto Home, Holding onto Hope,” speaks powerfully to the present moment. The ceremony reflects on the enduring cycle of displacement and loss that Palestinians have experienced since 1948. Yet the ceremony also looks ahead. It affirms a vision of peace rooted in dignity and justice—a vision in which Palestinians are not defined by displacement, but by their right to live freely and securely.

 In 2016, Baltimore City's 14 wealthiest tax-exempt hospitals and universities signed a PILOT (Payment in Lieu of Taxes) agreement behind closed doors allowing them to pay only $6 million annually towards city services, even though they use $47 million in city services every year. Who pays for their share? We do. Join Jews United for Justice and others to demand these institutions pay their fair share, and demand a fair and transparent PILOT negotiation process.

27] – MPower Action [info@mpowerchange.org] on Tues., May 13 at 3 PM ET is holding an MPower Hour: Demand an end to the starvation of Gaza. Israel is starving Gaza, and the U.S. is complicit. Over 70,000 children in Gaza are being hospitalized with severe malnutrition. Thousands more face imminent death. For over two months, Israel has enacted a complete blockade of humanitarian aid. That means no food, water, medicine, or fuel. This is intentional mass starvation — and a war crime.  Our Members of Congress need to hear from us. Take action together to flood the phone lines of our elected officials and demand an end to the blockade. RSVP at https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/0GCfqaWCSUu2cBPiRQ1N1w#/registration

28] – Food & Water Watch [act@fwwatch.org] on Tues., May 13 at 3:30 PM is do an Against all Odds virtual conference celebrating 20 years of grassroots power. RSVP at https://www.foodandwaterwatch.org/20th-anniversary/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=engagingnetworks&utm_campaign=onor_em_04292025_NAT-benefit-invite-6-Teachout-Kicker&utm_content=2025-04-29+FWW+c3+NAT+General+Benefit-Invite-6-Teachout-KICKER+Event+em+nL+C+EP for our Virtual Conference on May 13th!

 Zephyr Teachout, the keynote speaker, is a Professor of Law at Fordham University. She has spent 25 years as a lawyer and activist studying the intersection of corporate and political power, and seen how oil monopolies and concentrated auto manufacturers have protected the internal combustion engine when we could have had electric vehicles, and how Big Oil then takes advantage of crises to price gouge us all. But she never seen anything like the crushing of dissent and the retaliation for free expression that we are seeing today. At a time when our elected officials are willingly handing over the reins to a handful of corporate oligarchs, it’s never been more important for us to understand how to reclaim our political power.

 29] – On Tuesdays, from 4 to 6 PM ET, gather with Indivisible at 9706 Gorman Road, Howard County 20723 for a Rush Hour protest at the I95 Gorman Road Overpass.

4] – Barry Lee Burnside, a gaggle of great writers and copy editors are making available “A Bag of Snakes: Selected Writings on Prisons and the Death Penalty by Murphy Davis and Eduard Loring. Edited by Barry Lee Burnside.” Ed indicates the book will be available for sale on April 13, and is asking you to pre-order your copy. Your donation will provide a needed financial boost for the printing costs. The suggested donation is $20 for one copy; and $30 for your copy and an additional copy for a prisoner or someone in need. Any donation is appreciated. More or less you will receive the book.  Barry and the team have spent over two years putting this book together. It begins with outlines and notes found in the boxes of materials Murphy left when she ascended. The work is a work of love, and all involved are proud of the fruit borne by seeds nourished in good soil.

To order by postal mail, make your check to Open Door Community.  Send it to Open Door Community, PO Box 10980, Baltimore 21234.  For any questions, contact David Payne at 404-290-2047 or davidpayne@opendoorcommunity.org.

5] – Another book to consider purchasing is Male Supremacy in the Catholic Church: An Insider’s View by Roy Bourgeois. His new book is both memoir and position-paper, and it makes the case that the Roman Catholic Church is a corrupt system that spits out truth-tellers. The crime he was excommunicated for was attending the ordination ceremony of Janice Sevre-Duszynska in Lexington, Kentucky, in August 2008. The ordination was under the auspices of the Association of Roman Catholic Women Priests.  The Vatican’s response has been to excommunicate any woman who has the audacity to see herself as a priest equal to a male priest. You can purchase a copy from Amazon or by Kindle.

Here are two quotes to contemplate: “I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men. She is to keep silent.” – Timothy 1, 2:12-13.  “If the patriarchy that dominates the church is not dismantled and women are not treated as equals, the church will continue to diminish and, eventually, die.” – Roy Bourgeois.

6] – A home in Baltimore is for sale on a dead-end street in the Lauraville neighborhood, with three bedrooms, and one bath. The yard backs into a field and then a forest. There is a serene and quiet setting with an abundance of wildlife. The owner will be asking a reasonable amount for the property but it will not be overpriced. Contact her by text only at 443 500 6733. On the text, leave your name and phone number, and she will get back to anyone that reaches out. 

7] – The Baltimore Ethical Society invites you on Sundays at 10:30 AM for a platform presentation on Zoom or at the Impact Hub Baltimore, 10 E. North Ave., Baltimore 21202.  On May 11, it will be an in-person platform "We Are All in This Together" by Morris Pearl. Pearl will explain that a society with a few extremely rich people, and everyone else living in austerity is not good. It is not good for those living in austerity, and it is also not in the long run interest of the rich people either. Mr. Pearl will outline how some government policies tend to make the rich richer, in comparison to everyone else. The talk will largely focus on tax policies, explaining how people who make money from their labor have a much greater tax burden than people who are already rich or come from rich families. He will also touch on other topics such as mortgages and inflation.

He chairs the Board of Directors at Patriotic Millionaires. He was formerly a Managing Director at BlackRock and had a long tenure on Wall Street, where he invented some of the securitization technology connecting America’s capital markets to consumers in need of credit. He has also co-authored two books: Tax the Rich: How Lies, Loopholes and Lobbyists Make the Rich Richer (2021) and Pay the People: Why Fair Pay is Good for Business and Great for America (2024).  Email president@bmorethical.org

10] – Progressive Democrats of America [info@pdamerica.org] on Sun., May 11 at 4 PM will hold its weekly Town Hall  with Ro Khanna from a swing district in Wisconsin. This Sunday is Mother's Day, and PDA will focus on how to make the world better for all children by featuring progressive public policy and campaigns designed to protect and uplift all. Much as Bernie Sanders and AOC are attracting huge crowds as they tour Republican-held districts, thousands of people have also been joining Ro Khanna at public events across the same territory.

73] – Hideaki Ito [silentfalloutproject.org@gmail.com] wants to give you an update about the Silent Fallout Project. It has been more than five months since Silent Fallout was screened in Baltimore. He wants to express his sincere gratitude to all who supported the project during its US tour and hosted screenings. The film was shown in 20 locations over 43 days to over 600 people. The film aims to raise awareness about the reality of radiation contamination across the American continent and how many Americans are unknowingly exposed. It helps people understand that they are impacted by this issue and then use the US as a starting point to spark a global conversation about radiation.

Currently, the project is facing a deficit of $100K, and its future is uncertain. However, Ito is determined to raise funds and continue its activities. In 2025, which marks the 80th year since the birth of the atomic bomb, there is a plan to embark on a European screening tour, produce a new film, conduct a second US tour, and host a large-scale event on August 6th.
