36] – On April 9, Janice Sevre-Duszynska and Max Obuszewski were arrested in the Dirksen Senate Office Building cafeteria with Christians for a Free Palestine and charged with obstruction. The group went to a Senate cafeteria to lobby Senate staffers to implore upon their respective senator that Palestinians are being starved. The situation today is even worse. They both will appear at 10:30 AM on January 23 in Courtroom 310 in D.C. Superior Court, 500 Indiana Ave. NW, WDC 20001 in order to argue a Motion for Judgment for Acquittal.
Briefs were filed, and arguments will be made. The government case is very weak as there is little evidence to prove that the defendants obstructed anyone. They never block anyone from purchasing food or drink. In fact the police closed down the cafeteria. The government will try to argue that the defendants were there as part of a group. The defense will argue that there was no violation of a D.C. Code about obstruction. Contact Max at mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net.

39] – 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 Thurs., Jan. 23 through Fri., Jan. 24.

40] – On Thurs., Jan. 23 at 6 PM ET, join a Social Housing organizing meeting. Email social.housing.wg@gmail.com

RSVP at https://actionnetwork.org/events/january-23-2025-social-housing-organizing-meeting-2?link_id=90&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&source=email-metro-dc-dsa-weekly-newsletter-for-january-3-2025&email_referrer=email_2578831&email_subject=metro-dc-dsa-weekly-newsletter-for-january-10-2025
The legislation proposes to create mixed-income, district-owned housing with market rate units that subsidize a larger number of affordable units. It's a pioneering approach that deepens affordability, invests surplus funds into the creation of more social housing, and locks-in financial sustainability. The bill also includes climate and labor standards and elected tenant boards with oversight over building management. This event is open to both DSA Members and supporters.
