47] – United for Peace & Justice [info+united-for-peace-justice-info@email.actionnetwork.org] on Thurs., June 26 at 1 PM ET wants you to register for the Folly of Atomic Power in the Age of Climate Change webinar. Advocates of nuclear power have been arguing for a couple of decades that climate change mitigation is an argument for building a new generation of nuclear power plants, which they claim will provide safe, clean, and cheap electricity. More recently, corporations and governments promoting nuclear energy have a new set of allies: tech industry companies who have been arguing that nuclear power is necessary to feed the exploding electricity demand from rapidly proliferating data storage and processing centers that support industries from web-based commerce to artificial intelligence. Hear from Dr. M.V. Ramana, author of the book Nuclear is Not the Solution: The Folly of Atomic Power in the Age of Climate Change (Verso 2024).

48] – 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., June 26, Mon., June 30, Tues., July 1 & Wed., July 2.

Join the Social Housing Working Group for its biweekly organizing meeting. Learn about its latest activities, what they're planning for the future, and how to get involved. The Social Housing Working Group seeks to educate Metro DC DSA chapter members and the general public about social housing and to facilitate collective action in support of the passage and implementation of the Green New Deal for Housing Amendment Act. The legislation proposes to create mixed-income, district-owned housing with market rate units that subsidize a larger number of affordable units. It's a pioneering approach that deepens affordability, invests surplus funds into the creation of more social housing, and locks-in financial sustainability. The bill also includes climate and labor standards and elected tenant boards with oversight over building management. This event is open to both DSA Members and supporters.
