35] – 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 Wed., Jan. 29 through Thurs., Jan. 30.

39] – The Campaign for Peace, Disarmament & Common Security [joseph@cpdcs.ccsend.com] on Wed., Jan. 29 at 7:30 PM ET will hold a webinar -- YOON’S FAILED SOUTH KOREAN MILITARY COUP: IMPLICATIONS FOR KOREA AND THE WORLD. In early December South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol announced a military coup. Given the Republic of Korea’s brutal history of military dictatorships, thousands of Koreans and opposition parties committed to upholding democracy immediately mobilized and reversed the declaration of martial law in a matter of hours. Yoon has since been impeached and arrested, but whether he will be forced from office remains an open question. Also uncertain are South Korea’s political future, the political turmoil’s impacts on the country’s alliance with the U.S. and Japan, and for the region as a whole, including China.
Hear from Francis Daehoon Lee of PEACEMOMO in Seoul who has been research professor for peace studies at SungKongHoe University. Also hear from Tim Shorrock, a journalist and writer based in Washington, DC. Register at [mo1] https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_pPuVFt4HQ9e4qa55qrizvw#/registration
