46] – Join a vigil Olney Stands Up for Democracy, organized for Indivisible, on Thursdays, June 25, July 2 & July 9 from 6 to 7 PM ET at Georgia Avenue & Maryland 108. Olney 20832. Park in the Walgreen's parking lot and follow the sound of the music! Stand for democracy, for justice, and for an economy that works for all of us, not just billionaires. Stand for science, the rule of law, a working government, kindness and common decency.  Oppose fascism, tyranny, the lawless cruelty of ICE, the epic corruption, the reckless attacks on science, the idiotic tariffs, and call out the spineless elected officials who are bending their knees to a clown who thinks only of himself. Come for your own reasons, bring your own signs or borrow one. Bring your own light or borrow one. Bring your own sounds, or dance to the protest playlist.  RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/dfadcoalition/event/878084/?followup_modal_context=organization_newsletter_custom_recommendations

47] – Check out "Truth and Consequence" by Daniel Ellsberg, an online event, on Thurs., June 25 at 7 PM ET.  This is a talk with the book's editors, Michael Ellsberg and Jan Thomas.  Almost all Americans of a certain age, and all students of political science and history, know the name Daniel Ellsberg. And they mostly know him for his incredibly courageous act of leaking what became known as “The Pentagon Papers” – classified documents that told the truth of our government's massive cover up of the prosecution of the Vietnam War.  What is lesser-known by the average American is that Daniel, at the tender age of 27, had one of highest level security clearances in government as a top nuclear consultant and strategic analyst to the Rand Corporation, the Pentagon and the White House. And then later went on to be one of the most vociferous voices decrying the insanity of planning for a war that would effectively end civilization as we know it. He published this story in 2017 in the seminal book, The Doomsday Machine: Confessions of a Nuclear War Planner.  Now, 3 years after his tragic passing from pancreatic cancer, his son, Michael Ellsberg, in conjunction with Jan Thomas, one of Daniel's earliest assistants, have collected and curated a volume of never-before published personal and professional musings, notes and warnings that give deep tremendous insight into the thoughts behind this brilliant mind.

48] – Ken Jones <info+war-industry-resisters-network-info@email.actionnetwork.org> on Thurs., June 25 at 7 PM ET is inviting you to a webinar - Desert Witness, The Migrant Trail Walk. The focus will be on the Migrant Trail Walk which Ken Jones was fortunate enough to participate in this year. This year was the 23rd annual Migrant Trail Walk in the Arizona Borderland. The week-long 75 mile journey, going from the border wall to Tucson, is a witness to the thousands of deaths that have been caused by the U.S. policy that funnels migrants away from cities into the deadly Sonoran desert (the policy is called Prevention through Deterrence).

49] – On Thurs., June 25 from 8 to 9 PM ET, join the June People Power Action Call: Eyes on SCOTUS. In the coming weeks, the Supreme Court is expected to issue major decisions that could affect birthright citizenship, voting rights, gender justice, and other fundamental freedoms. As long as there has been a Supreme Court there have been people who have been organizing to respond, defend rights, and build power beyond the courtroom. That organizing continues today. Join the ACLU for the June People Power Action Call to understand what it is watching for and how people across the country are preparing to respond and take action together.  RSVP at https://act.aclu.org/a/june-action-call?ms=aceml061226&emci=353c8be2-7766-f111-8fcb-000d3a14b640&emdi=2f3712b0-7866-f111-8fcb-000d3a14b640&ceid=3280038
