31] – 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 Tues., Aug. 12, Wed., Aug. 13, Thurs., Aug. 14 and Mon., Aug. 18. Visit https://jvp-org.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Un0Lupy1SFObVVXJaZO5UQ?_x_zm_rtaid=8L0JUS3pQkenMGtx9ha3mQ.1732760660364.03949df73aedc7035fc618f76c52fc75&_x_zm_rhtaid=249#/registration
32] – The Climate Action Campaign [info@actonclimate.com] on Tues., Aug. 12 at 6 PM ET wants you to join a virtual call to learn exactly what Trump’s Climate Chaos Plan entails and how you can fight back. Carbon pollution, methane, and other climate pollutants are proven to endanger public health. But, to help out big polluters and deny the science of climate change, Donald Trump and EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin are moving forward with their Climate Chaos Plan, to undo protections that keep us safe from these types of pollution. . At the same time, the Trump administration aims to roll back pollution standards for cars, trucks and buses (*cough,* when they are the leading source of climate pollution in the United States, *cough*), despite the current standards having proven to cut pollution, improve health, and save consumers money.

37] – The War Industry Resisters Network will hold a webinar on Wed., Aug. 13 at 11 AM Keeping Space for peace and science not war and profit through a campaign to stop a military radar in a Welsh National Park. Register at https://secure.everyaction.com/qbxOf_ViSUywjrKmgRl3kg2.
A proposal originating from President Trump’s US Space Force, DARC (Deep Space Advanced Radar Capability) can be said, in a sentence, to be a significant element in plans by Trump and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk to cultivate an arguably illegal monopoly over the global commons of space, increasing the capacity of the US for both territorial dominance over the space domain and the military targeting of foreign satellites. It is on both a local and a national basis, though, that PARC (Pembrokeshire against the Radar Campaign) presents its case to you today. Roy Jones, who was active in the movement to stop Cruise Missiles with nuclear warheads being deployed in Western Europe, will make the case against. Roy has continued to use his music to fight against nuclear weapons as a supporter of the International Campaign against Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND).
38] –World BEYOND War [greta@worldbeyondwar.org] on Wed., Aug. 13 at noon ET is hosting a webinar on AFRICOM & human rights in Africa. This event will shed light on the impact of AFRICOM, militarization, and war across the African continent, fueled by imperialism and extractivism. Register at https://worldbeyondwar.org/africom-webinar/?clear_id=true&link_id=5&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&source=email-next-week-webinar-on-africom-human-rights-in-africa&email_referrer=email_2834890&email_subject=commemorating-hiroshima-day-coming-up-next-week-webinar-on-africom
The U.S. military established AFRICOM in 2008. They claim that combat operations in Africa are to counter violent extremist organizations which they say are finding safe haven throughout African countries. However, the truth is that the U.S. uses military force to impose control of African land, resources, and labor to service the needs of U.S. multi-national corporations and the wealthy in the United States. Despite the Pentagon’s claims that AFRICOM has a “light footprint,” recent documents reveal that the U.S. has 49 military bases in 21 countries across the continent. One of the webinar’s speaker will be Ann Wright, who speaks and writes frequently on U.S. militarism in Asia and the Pacific. She was in the U.S. Army/Army Reserves for 29 years and retired as a Colonel. She was also a U.S. diplomat and served in U.S. Embassies in Nicaragua, Grenada, Somalia, Kyrgyzstan, Sierra Leone, Micronesia, Afghanistan, and Mongolia. She resigned from the U.S. government in March 2003 in opposition to Bush’s war on Iraq.
