Kweisi Mfume, on Thurs., Dec. 11 at 2 PM, near the Baltimore Washington Monument.   This is a candidate to support!   “Israel has continued to violate the terms of the ceasefire with impunity, and America cannot remain complicit in the genocide in Gaza.

44] –What’s the Plan? A virtual Weekly Discussion with Indivisible’s co-founders takes place on Thursdays, Dec. 11 & 18, 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 the plan is. The event will continue through Dec. 18.
