63] – Flood the Lines for Palestine by doing weekly Calls for Gaza on Fri., Aug. 15 from 2:30 to 3 PM ET. Email Makayla@codepink.org. The Israel-U.S. genocide in Gaza is not just the work of governments. It is also fueled by corporations that profit from death and destruction. For years, calls to officials have been met with silence, deflection, or outright lies, all while corporations that fund and supply the war machine continue to operate in silence. For thirty minutes every Friday, flood the phone lines of corporations that are complicit in the Israel-U.S. genocide. These companies rely heavily on public perception and a smooth workday to maximize their profits. Disrupt and hit them where it really hurts. Begin by having a brief orientation on the target of our calls, a review of the call script, and clear instructions on who to contact and how to do so.

78] – 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.
Currently, the project is facing a deficit of $100K, and its future is uncertain. However, Ito is determined to raise funds and continue its activities. In 2025, which marks the 80th year since the birth of the atomic bomb, there is a plan to embark on a European screening tour, produce a new film, conduct a second US tour, and host a large-scale event on August 6th.
