55] –The Islamic
regime in Iran is using execution verdicts as a desperate act to suppress
peaceful demonstrations and protests due to the disastrous economic condition
in Iran. The judicial system in Iran executes innocent activist and
individuals by forced confessions, torture and sham trials. The unjust
death sentences for Pakhshan Azizi and Varisheh Moradi is another act of
desperation by the Islamic Republic’s use of capital punishment to suppress
members of minority communities and terrorize Iranian women who are fighting
tirelessly for their rights as equal citizens of Iran. You are asked to
show your urgent support for contacting the United Nations Human Rights office
and Iranian mission at United Nations to demand the Islamic republic of Iran
stop the unjust execution verdicts for both women and hundreds of other
prisoners on death row in Iran. These prisoners must receive fair trials
according to international judicial standards, including the right for all
prisoners to independent counsels.

56] – 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. 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., May 22, Mon., May 26, Tues., May 27 & Wed., May 28.

63] – The War Industry Resisters Network (WIRN) [info+war-industry-resisters-network-info@email.actionnetwork.org] on Thurs., May 22 at 8 PM ET is holding a webinar The Liberation of Palestine Is the Liberation of the United States. Register at https://secure.everyaction.com/0CGu15ERAk-3kwhF17FQ6g2
Dr. Rania Masri, from the artificially divided land of Greater
Syria, will explore why the liberation of Palestine—and the struggle against
Zionism—is central to movements for justice, democracy, and equity within the
United States. Drawing connections between the U.S. military-industrial
complex, the erosion of First and Fourth Amendment rights, and the intertwined
forces of capitalism, militarism, and settler-colonialism, the talk will argue
that Palestine serves as a canary in the coal mine for domestic repression. It
will also address the escalating crimes of Zionism against Palestinians,
Syrians, and Lebanese communities, and call for solidarity rooted in shared
liberation.
