65] – Maryland LCV [info@mdlcv.org] on Fri., March 28 from noon to 12:30 PM ET will do its weekly Friday Digest webinar, where we’ll dig into two meaningful climate bills that are gaining real momentum in Annapolis: The Transportation and Climate Alignment Act and the Ratepayer Freedom Act. The Transportation and Climate Alignment Act (SB 395 / HB 84)--would ensure Maryland’s transportation investments align with our climate goals - reducing emissions and prioritizing clean, affordable, and accessible options like public transit, biking, and walking. It also puts underserved communities at the center of planning. The Ratepayer Freedom Act (HB 960) prevents utilities from spending ratepayer funds to support some of the costs unrelated to delivery of energy to consumers. Specifically, through this bill, utilities will not be able to use ratepayer dollars to pay for membership dues, sponsorships, or trade association contributions - or the costs associated with private planes. RSVP now to hear how Maryland is making real progress for our climate and our communities: Zoom details will be provided following your registration. https://www.mdlcv.org/event/friday-digest-3-28-25?contactdata=N74bBUr0zftwulrGK7qe0%2fUliQ5EGzbh+ZDkQk3d8IFmwBz%2f9qdATf0zzSW7J+Pp6ZuMzO3pUoy6KcZb5hyYMOZBx3P9JQZD6rkYYJpICAQ7zi2p0%2fd3SndqvbXKhWmfGSM+obNP%2fmwYOSxLkXMK8pj6payC8%2fhY1lGtkpCCzL0thMKuA2HNur9vdxBEbu5u2o0d5f9NMJ7+f%2f90nFHsyrFuQtHInHgvZrVE3ko8oddVRPx2hDEM65hwfEPcFrIb2ZTAEaeojwxGs8MMaKJuuw%3d%3d&emci=2976e50f-9209-f011-90cd-0022482a9fb7&emdi=abf9ce11-b109-f011-90cd-0022482a9fb7&ceid=578562

72] – Christians for a Free Palestine [info+christians-against-genocide-info@email.actionnetwork.org] on Sat., March 29 from 2 to 3:30 PM ET get live updates from Silwan. As Christian Nationalists attempt to remove Palestinian activists in the U.S. through Project Esther, they are also key participants in the removal of Palestinians from their homes in Palestine, a fact that the Palestinian community of Silwan knows all too well. In Silwan, a neighborhood in Occupied East Jerusalem, the Israeli government and settler organizations funded by Americans are destroying living Palestinian neighborhoods with a biblical theme park catered to tourists. But as part of the many tools of their resistance, Palestinians are responding with art that declares they will not be disappeared. Get a live update from a Silwan resident resisting displacement alongside Palestinian American researcher Halah Ahmad, who focuses on the effects of Christian Zionist tourism, and esteemed Palestinian artist Sliman Mansour, who is collaborating with I Witness Silwan on the “Eyes of the Blind Man” mural in Silwan — the site of the “pools of Siloam” (aka Silwan), where Jesus is said to have given sight. By painting stunning images of eyes on walls across the neighborhood, Palestinian residents and artists send a clear message of samoud, or “steadfastness”, as part of their longstanding fight against dispossession. In the words of Jawad Siyam, Director of Madaa Silwan Creative Center, “The staring eyes say to people that we see them and they should see us too…we love our land and our home.” RSVP to learn about the story of Silwan: https://christiansforafreepalestine.com/events/marchcall?link_id=3&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&source=email-this-valentines-season-community-safety-is-love-2&email_referrer=email_2659380&email_subject=live-from-silwan-nil-art-resistance-and-christian-zionism&&
73] – Hideaki Ito [silentfalloutproject.org@gmail.com] wants to give you an update about the Silent Fallout Project. It has been more than five months since Silent Fallout was screened in Baltimore. He wants to express his sincere gratitude to all who supported the project during its US tour and hosted screenings. The film was shown in 20 locations over 43 days to over 600 people. The film aims to raise awareness about the reality of radiation contamination across the American continent and how many Americans are unknowingly exposed. It helps people understand that they are impacted by this issue and then use the US as a starting point to spark a global conversation about radiation.
