50] – 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., March 27, Mon., March 31, Tues.,
April 1 & Wed., April 2. Visit https://jvp-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Un0Lupy1SFObVVXJaZO5UQ?_x_zm_rtaid=8L0JUS3pQkenMGtx9ha3mQ.1732760660364.03949df73aedc7035fc618f76c52fc75&_x_zm_rhtaid=249#/registration

Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) has increasingly become a nuclear weapons production site. One key driver of this expansion is the increased production of plutonium pit bomb cores, the critical component of thermonuclear weapons. However, the production of plutonium pits for nuclear weapons is unnecessary and unsafe. Take the training on how to advocate for proper protection of the public and the environment and hold LANL accountable for its actions.

59] – Greenpeace USA [info@greenpeaceusa.org] was convicted. Get an update on Thurs., March 27 from 8:30 to 9:30 PM. Beyond its potential impacts on Greenpeace entities, this case could establish dangerous new legal precedents that could hold any participant at protests responsible for the actions of others at those protests, chilling free speech in the U.S. and beyond. Where We Go From Here. About a week out from the verdict, join us in continuing to make sense of the verdict, what it means for the movement and the future of protest, and taking action. No matter the outcome, we’ll stand united as we build an unstoppable movement for the dignity of all. The billionaires and corporations behind this attack want us to be afraid. Instead, we’re coming together.
