59] –What’s the Plan? A virtual Weekly Discussion with Indivisible’s co-founders takes place on Thursdays, including Oct. 23, 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. The event will continue through Dec. 18. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/indivisible/event/773746/?utm_source=email&utm_medium=_20250728

In 2011, millions rose up against Wall Street gangsters who crashed the global economy. Occupy Wall Street: An American Dream (dir. Michelle Fawcett, 2025, 51 min.) is an electrifying look at how a populist upsurge swept the nation, put oligarchs on their back foot, and revived working-class politics. The film captures the joy and challenges, humor and love of a major movement of our time. RSVP and more details here https://ips-dc.org/event/occupy-wall-street-dc-flm/?sourceid=1105553&emci=8ec60f45-79ab-f011-8e61-6045bded8ba4&emdi=ebfaa790-7aab-f011-8e61-6045bded8ba4&ceid=2461345
After the film, stay for a lively conversation with the filmmaker and an exciting lineup of activists and experts: Margaret Flowers is the director of Popular Resistance and the host of Clearing the FOG; Chip Gibbons is the Policy Director of Defending Rights & Dissent where he defends the American people’s right to know and freedom to act. Arun Gupta is an investigative journalist. Omar Ocampo is a researcher for the Program on Inequality and the Common Good and has been with the Institute for Policy Studies since 2020. And Michelle Fawcett, PhD, has worked in the media from Hollywood to academia to grassroots organizing. She is the director of Occupy Wall Street: An American Dream, a film based on travels to 42 occupations in 27 states in 2011-2013.
67] – Get over to a virtual MomsRising Monthly Community Meeting on Thursdays, Oct. 23, Nov. 20 & Dec. 18, from 8:30 to 9:45 PM ET. The special guest is the nationally-recognized educator and fierce leader in federal education policy Congresswoman Jahana Hayes (CT-05). She will join alongside policy experts, educators, and organizers. This year, Back to School isn’t just about book bags, fresh pencils, and packed lunches—it’s about standing up for the future of public education and healthcare. From efforts to dismantle the Department of Education to rollbacks in Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, SNAP, and disability protections; from the withholding of billions in funding for afterschool and mental health programs to national voucher schemes like the Educational Choice for Children Act (ECCA) which shifts funds from public schools to private profit; our public schools are under attack. This is not just a policy shift. It is a full-scale assault on the idea that every child—no matter their zip code, race, language, ability, or identity—deserves a high-quality public education.

How do we move towards a world without wars, weapons, police, prisons, the death penalty, and borders? Come to #NoWar2025 to explore how we can join in solidarity across movements and borders to abolish these interwoven systems and build a world based on common security — “no one is safe until all are safe.” #NoWar2025 will make the case for abolition, explore intersections between abolitionist movements, learn from successful case studies of abolition, and strategize about how we can truly move towards a world beyond war.
To be continued.
