19] –Jewish Voice for Peace is doing a Power Half-Hour for
Gaza: Channel grief & outrage into action to stop a genocide. A year into the genocide in Gaza, we are
overwhelmed with sorrow and rage. There are no words to describe the
devastating pain of the past year in which the Israeli military has killed over
44,000 Palestinians in Gaza, including more than 17,000 children. The
International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court have both
declared that Israel must stop the genocidal acts being committed on the
Palestinian people. And the U.S. government is actively supporting the Israeli
military as it wreaks devastation on the over 2 million Palestinians in Gaza.
JVP continues to come together as a political community in its daily half-hour
to take action, Monday through Friday, for the past year. Join in and take
collective action to demand an arms embargo to Israel, immediate end to the
genocide, a lasting ceasefire and an end to Israeli siege, apartheid,
occupation, and oppression of Palestinians and Lebanon. All are welcome. All
are needed. Get involved at 3 PM ET on Tues., Jan. 21 through Fri., Jan. 24.

24] –CODEPINK [info@codepink.org] on Tues., Jan. 21 at 8 PM ET is doing a chat with peacemakers and experts about Doctors & Taxpayers against Genocide. Doctors against Genocide and Taxpayers against Genocide are demanding accountability and justice for the victims of the US-backed genocide in Gaza. Doctors against Genocide is a global coalition of healthcare workers dedicated to succeeding where global governments have failed in confronting and preventing genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity. Their “Not another Child, Not Another Hospital Campaign” invites medical institutions to take a long overdue stand–with vigils and press conferences– against genocide in Gaza–and to demand the release of Palestinian Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya.
Taxpayers against Genocide (TAG) is plaintiffs in a lawsuit representing 600 constituents charging northern California lawmakers "illegally abused their tax and spend authority when they voted to allocate $26.38 billion in military aid to Israel on April 20, 2024," and that by doing so, they violated the U.S. Constitution, the Genocide Convention, and federal laws.” The complaint has been filed under the Ninth Amendment of the Constitution, which protects rights not otherwise stated in the Constitution.

25] –The Green New Deal Network [info@e.greennewdealnetwork.org] on Tues., Jan. 21 at 8 PM ET believes that in the face of the incoming administration’s dangerous agenda, it is imperative the climate justice movement remains united and continues to resist, build solidarity, and demand bold, transformative climate action. This is the moment to rally, strategize, and show the world that our movement is not just resilient—it is leading the charge toward a just and sustainable future.
