17] – United Workers [info@unitedworkers.org] on Mondays, Jan. 27 and Feb. 3 will join a National Call-in Day: Tell Congress that Medicaid Cuts = Death! 25 million people were purged from Medicaid in the last two years. ‌ ‌Now, the Trump administration plans to use Medicaid funding to pay for tax cuts. Billions of our tax dollars go to war profiteers, and now they want to take more. Tax cuts for billionaires shouldn't be paid for by cutting our healthcare! Call members of Congress and tell them no more cuts to Medicaid! You will receive a call script and the information for how to contact your members of Congress.

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 Mon., Jan. 27 through Thurs., Jan. 30.  Visit https://jvp-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Un0Lupy1SFObVVXJaZO5UQ?_x_zm_rtaid=8L0JUS3pQkenMGtx9ha3mQ.1732760660364.03949df73aedc7035fc618f76c52fc75&_x_zm_rhtaid=249#/registration

If you have been fundraising for Palestine (or would like to start), join this Zoom on Mon., Jan. 27 7 PM ET so we can all learn from each other how to raise more money during this critical time!
