seekers, and how we move forward together. RSVP at https://hias.org/events/trumps-first-days-what-happened-and-how-fight-back/?utm_medium=email&utm_source=EngagingNetworks&utm_campaign=events&utm_content=FY25+01+Refugee+Shabbat+Invite+3
43] – UMKR [info@kairosresponse.org] on Thurs., Jan. 30 at 1 PM ET is hosting a webinar: Christian Nationalism, Zionism, and Hindutva - dangers of Religious Nationalism around the world. REGISTER at https://palestine.events/30jan2025
Religious nationalism in the United States, Israel, and India: what do these dangerous ideologies have in common and what threats do they bring to our lives and our communities? Religious nationalism has roots in racist perspectives about humanity and unholy beliefs about God's favoritism, conflating those in order to grant power and privilege to one people over another.

Join the Pulitzer Center, Outrider Foundation and Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists for a conversation with Rachel Oswald, CQ Roll Call's foreign policy reporter, and Scott D. Sagan, co-director and senior fellow, Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) at Stanford University. Among topics under consideration: New administration cabinet and staff picks, global developments in the Middle East, Russia, North Korea and other regions and countries, and the status of nuclear arsenals and technologies that pose potential proliferation risks.

45] – 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. 30, Fri., Jan. 31, Mon., Feb. 3 & Tues., Feb. 4.

We all deserve to be safe, cared for, and free.
