2. Wednesday, 7:00pm – 9:00pm, Gregory”Joey”Johnson Speaks on Flag Burning,Fascism & Why We Should Support Refuse Fascism
Revolution Books – Berkeley
2444 Durant Ave.
Berkeley
Gregory “Joey” Johnson Speaks on Flag Burning, Fascism and Why We Should Support Refuse Fascism’s Call to Flood DC starting November 5th
Gregory “Joey” Johnson was the defendant in the landmark Supreme Court case in 1989 that ruled that burning the American flag in protest is symbolic speech, protected against government suppression by the First Amendment. Trump has ordered with no legal basis that “anybody burning the American Flag will be subject to one year in prison.” This is one more Trump/MAGA fascist assault on the basic rights of the people. It is fascism in power forcing blind, knee-jerk patriotism on society.
Here is where things stand as fascism shreds the rule of law:
– heavily armed gangs, masked and with no badges or ID, grab people off the streets and send them to torture chamber prisons half way around the globe;
– the Trump regime sends federal troops against people non-violently protesting these outrages
– and threatens local and state officials who refuse to go along;
– the Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights investigates and hounds students and faculty who have opposed the genocide in Gaza;
– the Department of Justice targets people who dare to criticize or oppose the regime with firing and criminal indictments.
Big questions are posed before everyone: What will it take to stop this ripping away of basic rights, and to defeat this fascism? What will the tens of millions of people who hate this in their bones do to stop it?
Bring your questions, your thinking, your disagreements and your impatience to change the world!

3. Thursday, 7:30am – 9:00am (Pt; 10:30am-12Noon (Et), Virtual Book Launch: Displaced in Gaza: Stories from the Gaza Genocide
Register: Register Now – Displaced in Gaza: Stories from the Gaza Genocide – YouTube
Join us for a virtual book launch of Displaced in Gaza, A powerful collection of testimonies from Palestinians facing genocide and displacement with hope and resistance.
Displaced in Gaza aims to raise global awareness of how violent displacement has impacted the lives of Palestinians—students, mothers, fathers, grandparents, children, educators, and those who already survived the Nakba of 1948. In Gaza, 2.3 million Palestinians have been subjected to starvation, mass destruction, and targeted killing. Yet they endure.
This book is a commitment to the longstanding Palestinian tradition of storytelling, documenting both the horror of the genocide and the resilience of the Palestinian people. The stories in this collection are not merely accounts of suffering, they are assertions of humanity, resistance, hope, and the unbreakable bond that ties Palestinians to their homeland.
Displaced in Gaza is a collaboration between the American Friends Service Committee and the Hashim Sani Center for Palestine Studies at Universiti Malaya.
Speakers:
– Dr Yousef Aljamal is a Palestinian journalist and author from Gaza.
– Norma Hashim has been involved in advocacy and relief work for Palestine since the 2008 attacks on Gaza, and is treasurer of Viva Palestina Malaysia.
– Zoe Jannuzi works as the Palestine Activism Program Coordinator at the American Friends Service Committee.

5. Saturday, 11:00am, Rise and Resist at Tanforan Memorial
RSVP Rise and Resist at Tanforan Memorial – Action Network
San Bruno BART Station
1177 Huntington
San Bruno
No Ban! No Raids! No Camps!
Join a rally at the at the San Bruno BART station near the Tanforan shopping center. Please RSVP to receive additional updates
This action will be at former location of the Tanforan Assembly Center during WWII, calling attention to the historical parallels between the experiences of Japanese Americans and current events. Tsuru for Solidarity, in partnership with the San Francisco Japantown community and Bay Area Japanese American organizations, calls on our communities to say NO to new detention centers in Northern California and across the US. This family-friendly action will feature powerful speakers, arts and crafts for kids, and opportunities to plug in and take action together.
The Tanforan Assembly Center served as the unjust detention center for nearly 8,000 Japanese and Japanese Americans during World War II in 1942. We want to ensure their stories are remembered and that this injustice is never repeated against any peoples.
Bring your signs, water, sun protection, and POWER! If you plan to drive, please park at San Bruno BART.
WHY ARE WE HOLDING THIS ACTION? We stand in solidarity with our immigrant communities targeted by racists and inhumane state violence. As ICE raids intensify and militarized tactics escalate nationwide, the fight to remove ICE from CA has never been more urgent. Now is the time to raise our voices and share our stories. Together we must stand against detention and state violence — drawing on the legacy of Japanese American incarceration during WWII to resist its repetition today.
Join Japanese American survivors of WWII incarceration and youth calling attention to the historical parallels between US concentration camps and current ICE detention. We must not let an ICE detention facility open in Dublin, CA or anywhere in Northern California. Our community members are more likely to be arrested & detained by ICE in counties with more detention beds. This is our moment to speak out, take action, and stand in solidarity with our community members!!! Never Again is NOW!
