18] – On Mon., March 24 from noon to 1 PM ET, gather at
Center Plaza, 100 N. Charles St., Baltimore 21201 to rally calling on Senate
President Ferguson to reject any bill that removes critical environmental
justice protections and approves new gas power plants!
If
this bill passes, new power plants could get key state permits without public
notice, public forums or without companies having to submit environmental
impact reviews and risk assessments to the community. Let’s not allow Maryland
to give lifelines to new toxic gas plants.
In the next week or two, Maryland state lawmakers will be voting on a
bill that would fast-track the buildout of new methane gas plants in the state.
The Next Generation Energy Act (SB 937/ HB 1035) would eliminate key
community and environmental protections so that gas companies can start
building power plants in our neighborhoods. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/mobilize/event/765199/?followup_modal_context=nonexclusive_newsletter_more_events_of_type

As measles cases rise, schools, healthcare facilities and communities are at risk—not just from the disease itself but also from dangerous misinformation especially when it comes from high-profile sources. This preventable disease is making a dangerous comeback, and now is the time to ensure our members have the information they need to stay safe and keep their families and our communities safe. Hear from Dr. Vin Gupta, a leading public health expert, and Dr. Benjamin Hoffman, former president of the American Academy of Pediatrics, for a live, interactive town hall to discuss the measles outbreak and how we can prevent further spread.

The film depicts the deep traumas of 15 formerly homeless and incarcerated African-American women in DC as they grapple with the social causes of their plight and transform their experiences into a sold-out performance at the Kennedy Center. The documentary covers the group’s development over 12 weeks — from acting novices to crafting an original play based on their lives through The Theater Lab’s “Life Stories” program. Deb Gottesman, Co-Founder/Co-Director of The Theater Lab at the Kennedy Center, will lead the discussion following the film.

28] – Join the Baltimore Nonviolence Center on Tues., March 25 from 4:30 to 5 PM ET at 33rd and N. Charles Sts. to condemn the invasion of Ukraine and the Trump/Vance team which supports Putin’s war crimes. Putin has destroyed Aleppo and Grozny and has threatened the use of nuclear weapons. And he knows that Trump appreciates how he got Trump elected in 2016. Rather than support Ukraine, Trump hoped to steal Ukraine’s rare earth minerals. Let us hope that the European Union will provide further support for the Ukrainian people. Contact Max at mobuszewski2001 at Comcast dot net or 410-323-1607.
