39] – 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 58,000 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 Wed., Aug. 20, Thurs., Aug. 21, Mon., Aug.

46] – The Local Peace Economy [peaceeconomy@codepink.org] on Wed., Aug. 20 at 8 PM ET will hold a Learning Hour! RSVP at https://www.codepink.org/lpe0820?utm_campaign=learning_hour_august_20th&utm_medium=email&utm_source=codepiJoin in live with author and public scholar Báyò Akómoláfé as well as his co-conspirators Aerin Dunford and Geci Karuri-Sebina. They are self-described "tricksters of the edges" at The Emergence Network. They will introduce the concept of Emergence, and play with the idea of what it means to be available for what is emergent in our lives and in a world on fire. They will examine what gets in the way of our ability to flow with emergence, and share with us practices to help us be responsive rather than reactive. The ground is cracking, and it is important to remember that we want it to crack wide open! But since we are all standing on this broken firmament, we need to remember where we are, what we are investing our lives into creating, and to assess what tools we need to be resilient in the face of fascism.
47] – Trade Justice [clayton@tradejusticeedfund.org] on Thurs., Aug. 21 at 3 PM ET is doing a Power Hour on Trade, Migration, and the USMCA Review. Corporate-driven trade agreements don't just destroy livelihoods and uproot communities in the United States. These pacts cause economic displacement throughout the globe and have long been a driving force behind much of the migration to the United States. Instead of taking action to address the root causes of migration, politicians all too often choose to demonize, scapegoat, criminalize, and exploit immigrants. RSVP https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/4017550021598/WN_ApK4i5UCTgCTy8Hlv9Tcig?link_id=1&can_id=4b9d4061aec5469758759317ac0f5285&source=email-now-on-aug-21-trade-migration-and-the-usmca-2&email_referrer=email_2843978___body_3345050&email_subject=now-on-aug-21-trade-migration-and-the-usmca&&#/
Hear from Global Trade Watch's Research Director, Iza Camarillo, about a new report which exposes how so-called "free trade" policies have fueled forced migration and economic inequality--and what we can do to change that. Also get updates on how this relates to on-going USMCA campaigning and about the office visits folks have been working on!
48] – What’s the Plan? A virtual Weekly Discussion with Indivisible’s co-founders takes place on Thursdays, including Aug. 21, from 3 to 4 PM ET. The onslaught of news, the chaos coming out of the White House – it’s all meant to overwhelm us. It’s a deliberate strategy to sow confusion and make us believe we are powerless to fight back. The antidote: Coming together in community to process what’s happening, to sift through what’s important and what’s just noise, and coalesce around strategies for fighting back. Join Indivisible co-founders Leah Greenberg and Ezra Levin each week to discuss what’s happening and more importantly – what’s the plan? RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/773746/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=_20250728
