Building these connections is how we build a stronger and irrepressible climate movement for the people. Bring a poem that we could share in the chat. Register to get the zoom link.

42] – Jeff Jurgens, Peace Action Election Team [info@peaceaction.org] on Wed., June 10 at 7:30 PM wants you to meet pro-peace Senate candidate, Julie Gonzales! But there’s another important primary goal for pro-peace voters this season, too: replacing old, out-of-touch, milquetoast Democrats unable, or unwilling, to actually challenge the pro-war establishment so entrenched in Washington D.C. That is exactly the race currently unfolding for the Senate in Colorado, where incumbent John Hickenlooper, with a disappointing 58% voting record with Peace Action, is being challenged by Colorado State Senator Julie Gonzales. Peace Action has endorsed Julie Gonzales in this race, Register at https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_WJeuwPXWQKepgNAcvD2yHQ?emci=12716e61-3f64-f111-8fcb-000d3a14b640&emdi=b1c65578-4364-f111-8fcb-000d3a14b640&ceid=218683#/registration

44] – Progressive Democrats of America [info@pdamerica.org] on Wed., June 10 at 8 PM ET is calling for a Medicare for All Organizing Call. Medicare for All is more popular than ever before; recent polls show that 90% of Democratic voters and 63% of all voters support Medicare for All. So why are so many politicians still pushing half-measures that don't achieve the true health care reform our broken system so desperately needs? Join in for a national organizing call that outlines what we need to do to meet the moment and demand Medicare for All. Register and the machine will email you your secure link/codes: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_yZewazG4QCOTp9BeQ-14nQ?emci=a59980f5-4961-f111-8fcb-000d3a14b640&emdi=fc2ad7c5-bd62-f111-8fcb-000d3a14b640&ceid=2907617#/registration
