DESCRIPTION:
Don’t forget that the California Democratic Convention is this month fr
om May 25th to 28th in Los Angeles. This year’s theme is “Don’t agonize\,
organize!”
\n
No olvide que la Convención Demócrata de California es
este mes del 25 al 28 de mayo en Los Ángeles. El lema de este año es “¡No
te angusties\, organízate!”
The moul
ds\, labels\, signals and signs given to us throughout our lives about our
jobs\, relationships and duties end up shaping who we think we are. Also\
, there’s a constant reel of inner dialogue that plays in the background o
f our minds\, informing us about who we are and who we ought to be. In the
midst of this barrage of messaging\, we sometimes lose sight of who we re
ally are.
\n
The Waking Up Weekend brings the real you out of hibern
ation
\n
It’s not psychotherapy\, intellectual theory\, new-age spir
ituality or a religious movement. It’s not designed to change you into som
ebody you’re not. Instead it’s about going home to who you really are and
waking up and coming out of hibernation. This is so you can expand yoursel
f and live a more enriched and genuine version of your life.
\n
The W
aking Up Weekend will give you permission to be you – and all the light an
d shadow that this entails. Everyone has a right to respectfully express t
heir own emotions: love\, grief\, vulnerability\, sadness\, joy. It’s all
part of the many facets of being a living human being.
\n
Becoming your true and authentic self is a revolutionary act of self-love
.

Thank you to everyone
who came out this week to protest DA Jenkins’ decision to dismiss the cha
rges against the SFPD officer who killed Sean Moore. Community members and
organizations from across the city showed up to make it clear that we are
outraged by the DA failing to do her job to hold police accountable. We a
ll deserve to feel safe from police violence in our communities\, and that
starts with a DA who takes police violence seriously.
\n
\n\n
\n
\n
We will be coming together on Tuesday\
, July 18th\, at 9am in front of the Hall of Justice (850 Bryant Street) t
o support the family of Sean Moore as the DA officially drops the charges
in this case. Please join us by signing up here.

Let’s mak

go through it alone.

Last call to RSVP for this weekend’s Cal
Care canvass\, Mike!
\n
This Saturday and Sunday\, we’re getting out
into communities across California to build public support for this legisl
ation to establish guaranteed health care for every Californian.
We have ju
st a few months left until we reintroduce a full CalCare bill in the state
legislature\, so we need to make the most of the last few months of 2023
and build all the support we need to get it over the finish line.
\n
Canvassing is the most effective grassroots organizing tool we have\, and
we’ll give you all the training you need to talk to fellow Californians ab
out our campaign to transform our state’s broken health care system.

Fossil fuels are dri
ving climate change and the time for action is NOW! It’s never been more c
lear than this summer\, with devastating and heartbreaking fires\, heat wa
ves\, and 100 degree ocean temperatures – fossil fuels are driving the cli
mate crisis\, and the impacts are getting worse and worse.\n
We’re c
oming together this September to fight for something better: a future free
of fossil fuels\, powered by just and resilient clean energy\, with good
jobs\, clean air and water\, and healthy planet for all.
Here’s the deal: This
won’t just be another protest. This is a powerful movement of change\, and
we need your presence to make a resounding impact.
\n
Together\, we
will send a clear message to our world leaders – especially President Bide
n – that it’s time to put an end to the era of fossil fuels and invest in
a clean and sustainable future for all.
\n
So yes\, every single pers
on that signs up with us makes a HUGE difference for September 17th.
Join us on September 17th* in New York City as we march\, rally\, and protest to demand that President Biden take
bold climate action. Biden must reject new fossil fuel projects\, phase o
ut fossil fuel production\, and declare a climate emergency.
\n
The march will start at 1pm. We will gather at 56th Street and Broadway
between 12 and 1pm. \n
\n
Fill out the form on
this page to join the march and get involved. After you sign up\
, an organizer or volunteer will be in touch to get you plugged in. More i
nfo and ways to get involved can be found at endfossilfuels.us.
\n
*We recognize this mobiliza
tion is planned for the second day of Rosh Hashanah. There were a number o
f factors that led us to choose this date – including the UN Climate Summi
t scheduled for the week of Sept 18th -and we did not make this decision l
ightly. We deeply respect Jewish communities have different relationships
with protest and social action during the High Holidays. We honor and affi
rm that many Jewish communities and organizations will be praying at this
time and celebrate their observance.

Stanislav Petrov (
1983)
\n
\n
ON THIS DAY… THE WORLD NEARLY E
NDED
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
It was on this day\, 26th Sept\, back in 1983 when a
man named Stanislav Petrov came close to single-handedly saving the world
from nuclear war during the 1983 Soviet nuclear false alarm incident. So
how did one man save the world? Well\, Stanislav was a Lieutenant Colonel
of the Soviet Air Defence Forces and was the duty officer at the command c
entre for the Oko nuclear early-warning system.Imagine how you’d feel if y
ou noticed that the system reported that a missile had been launched from
the United States\, followed by up to five more. Thankfully Stanislav kept
his cool and didn’t panic\, but most importantly he didn’t follow protoco
l and report the incoming American missiles which may have resulted in an
erroneous retaliatory nuclear attack on the United States and it’s NATO al
lies that could have resulted in a large-scale nuclear war.
\n
So how
did he know the system was malfunctioning? Stanislav had been informed th
at a U.S. strike against the Soviet Union would be all-out\, so five missi
les seemed unusual. So\, what caused the malfunction? The false alarm was
caused by an alignment of sunlight on high-altitude clouds above North Dak
ota and the Molniya orbits of the satellites. Believe it or not\, Stanisla
v Petrov was actually reprimanded for the incident as according to the Sov
iet government he’d insufficiently documented his actions during the crisi
s. Today we remember the hero Stanislav Petrov\, who died in May 2017 from
hypostatic pneumonia.

DESCRIPTION:
The original Bank Transfer Day\, on November 5\, 2011\, was
created by Kristen Christian. The tradition is repeated every November 5 t
o remind everyone to move their money from the large corporate banks to cr
edit unions or local community banks. (In conjunction with Guy Fawkes Day
on every 5th of November.)
Guy Fawkes Night\, also known as G
uy Fawkes Day\, Bonfire Night and Firework Night\, is an
annual commemoration observed on 5 November\, primarily in the United Kin
gdom. Its history begins with the events of 5 November 1605\, when Guy Fawkes<
/a>\, a member of the Gunpowder Plot\, was arrested while guarding
explosives the plotters had placed beneath the Ho
use of Lords. Celebrating the fact that King James I had survi
ved the attempt on his life\, people lit bonfires around London\; and months lat
er\, the introduction of the Observance of 5th November Act enforced an annual public day of thank
sgiving for the plot’s failure.
\n
Within a few decades Gunpowder Tre
ason Day\, as it was known\, became the predominant English state commemor
ation\, but as it carried strong Protestant religious overtones it also be
came a focus for anti-
Catholic sentiment. Puritans delivered sermons regarding the perceived dan
gers of popery\, while during increasingly raucous celebration
s common folk burnt effigies of popular hate-figures\, such as the pope. Towards the end of th
e 18th century reports appear of children begging for money with effigies
of Guy Fawkes and 5 November gradually became known as Guy Fawkes Day. Tow
ns such as Lew
es and Guildford were in the 19th century scenes of increasingly violent
class-based confrontations\, fostering traditions those towns celebrate s
till\, albeit peaceably. In the 1850s changing attitudes resulted in the t
oning down of much of the day’s anti-Catholic rhetoric\, and the Observanc
e of 5th November Act was repealed in 1859. Eventually the violence was de
alt with\, and by the 20th century Guy Fawkes Day had become an enjoyable
social commemoration\, although lacking much of its original focus. The pr
esent-day Guy Fawkes Night is usually celebrated at large organised events
\, centred on a bonfire and extravagant firework displays.
\n
Settlers exported Guy Fawkes Night to
overseas colonies\, including some in North America\, where it was known a
s Pope Day. Those festivities died out with the onset of t
he American Revolution. Claims that Guy Fawkes Night was
a Protestant replacement for older customs like Samhain are disputed\, although
another old celebration\, Halloween\, has lately increased in popularity\,
and according to some writers\, may threaten the continued observance of 5
November.
\n
Origins and history in England
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
An effigy of Fawkes\, burnt on
5 November 2010 at Billericay
\n
\n
\n
Guy Fawkes Night
originates from the Gunpowder Plot of 1605\, a failed conspiracy b
y a group of provincial English Catholics to assassinate
the Protestant King J
ames I of England and replace him with a Catholic head of state. In th
e immediate aftermath of the 5 November arrest of Guy Fawkes\, caught guar
ding a cache of explosives placed beneath the House of Lords\, Jam
es’s Council allowed the public to celebrate the king’s survival with bonfires\,
so long as they were “without any danger or disorder”.[1] This made 1605 the first year the plot’s fail
ure was celebrated.[2] The fol
lowing January\, days before the surviving conspirators were executed\, Pa
rliament passed the Observan
ce of 5th November Act\, commonly known as the “Thanksgiving Act”. It
was proposed by a Puritan Member of Parliament\, Edward Montagu\, who sugges
ted that the king’s apparent deliverance by divine intervention deserved s
ome measure of official recognition\, and kept 5 November free as a day of
thanksgiving while in theory making attendance at Church mandatory.[3] A new form of service was also a
dded to the Church of England‘s Book of
Common Prayer\, for use on that date.[4]
\n
Little is known about the earliest celebration
s. In settlements such as Carlisle\, <
a title='Norwich' href='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norwich'>Norwich
\, and Nottingham\, corporations (town governments) provided music and art
illery salutes. Canterbury celebrated 5 November 1607 with 106 pounds (48
kg) of gunpowder and 14 pounds (6.4 kg) of match\, and three years later f
ood and drink was provided for local dignitaries\, as well as music\, expl
osions\, and a parade by the local militia. Even less is known of how the
occasion was first commemorated by the general public\, although records i
ndicate that in the Protestant stronghold of Dorchester
a sermon was read\, the church bells rung\, and bonfires and fireworks lit
.[5]
\n
Early significance
\n
Accor
ding to historian and author Antonia Fraser\, a study of the earli
est sermons preached demonstrates an anti-Catholic concentration “mystical
in its fervour”.[6]Delivering
one of five 5 November sermons printed in A Mappe of Rome in 1612\
,
Thomas Taylor spoke of the “generality of his [a papist’s] cruelty”\,
which had been “almost without bounds”.[
7] Such messages were also spread in printed works like Francis
Herring’s Pietas Pontifica (republished in 1610 as Popish Piety<
/i>)\, and John Rhode’s A Brief Summe of the Treason intended against t
he King & State\, which in 1606 sought to educate “the simple and igno
rant … that they be not seduced any longer by papists”.[8] By the 1620s the Fifth was honoured in market
towns and villages across the country\, though it was some years before i
t was commemorated throughout England. Gunpowder Treason Day\, as it was t
hen known\, became the predominant English state commemoration. Some paris
hes made the day a festive occasion\, with public drinking and solemn proc
essions. Concerned though about James’s pro-Spanish foreign policy\, the d
ecline of international Protestantism\, and Catholicism in general\, Prote
stant clergymen who recognised the day’s significance called for more dign
ified and profound thanksgivings each 5 November.[9][10]
\n
What unity En
glish Protestants had shared in the plot’s immediate aftermath began to fa
de when in 1625 James’s son\, the future Charles I\, m
arried the Catholic Henrietta Maria of France. Puritans reacted to the marriage by issuing a new prayer to warn agains
t rebellion and Catholicism\, and on 5 November that year\, effigies of th
e pope and the devil were burnt\, the earliest such report of this practic
e and the beginning of centuries of tradition.[a][14] Du
ring Charles’s reign Gunpowder Treason Day became increasingly partisan. B
etween 1629 and 1640 he ruled without Parliament\, and he seemed to suppor
t
Arminianism\, regarded by Puritans like Henry Burton as a step toward Catholicism. By 1636\, under t
he leadership of the Arminian Archbishop of Canterbury William Laud\,
the English church was trying to use 5 November to denounce all seditious
practices\, and not just popery.[15] Puritans went on the defensive\, some pressing for further reformation of the Church.[9]
Bonfire Night\, as it was occasio
nally known\,[
16] assumed a new fervour during the events leading up to the English Interregnum. Although Royalists di
sputed their interpretations\, Parliamentarians began
to uncover or fear new Catholic plots. Preaching before the House of Commo
ns on 5 November 1644\, Charles Herle claimed that Papists were tunn
elling “from Oxford\, Rome\, Hell\, to Westminster\, and there to blow up\
, if possible\, the better foundations of your houses\, their liberties an
d privileges”.[17] A display
in 1647 at Lincoln’s Inn Fields commemorated “God’s
great mercy in delivering this kingdom from the hellish plots of papists”
\, and included fireballs burning in the water (symbolising a Catholic ass
ociation with “infernal spirits“) and fireboxe
s\, their many rockets suggestive of “popish spirits coming from below” to
enact plots against the king. Effigies of Fawkes and the pope were presen
t\, the latter represented by Pluto\, Roman god of the under
world.[18]
\n
Following
Charles I’s execution in 1649\, the country’s new republican regime remai
ned undecided on how to treat 5 November. Unlike the old system of religio
us feasts and State anniversaries\, it survived\, but as a celebration of
parliamentary government and Protestantism\, and not of monarchy.[16] Commonly
the day was still marked by bonfires and miniature explosives\, but forma
l celebrations resumed only with the Restoration\, w
hen Charles II became king. Courtiers\, High Anglicans and Toriesfollowed the official line\
, that the event marked God’s preservation of the English throne\, but gen
erally the celebrations became more diverse. By 1670 London apprentices had turned 5 November into a fire festiv
al\, attacking not only popery but also “sobriety and good order”\,[19] demanding money from coach occ
upants for alcohol and bonfires. The burning of effigies\, largely unknown
to the Jacobeans\,[20]c
ontinued in 1673 when Charles’s brother\, the Duke of York\, converted to Catholicism. In response\, accompanied by a procession o
f about 1\,000 people\, the apprentices fired an effigy of the Who
re of Babylon\, bedecked with a range of papal symbols.[21][22
] Similar scenes occurred over the following few years. On 17 No
vember 1677\, anti-Catholic fervour saw the Accessio
n Day marked by the burning of a large effigy of the pope—his belly fi
lled with live cats “who squalled most hideously as soon as they felt the
fire”—and two effigies of devils “whispering in his ear”. Two years later\
, as the exclusion crisis reached its zenith\,
an observer noted that “the 5th at night\, being gunpowder treason\, ther
e were many bonfires and burning of popes as has ever been seen”. Violent
scenes in 1682 forced London’s militia into action\, and to prevent any re
petition the following year a proclamation was issued\, banning bonfires a
nd fireworks.[23]
\n
Fi
reworks were also banned under James II\, who became kin
g in 1685. Attempts by the government to tone down Gunpowder Treason Day c
elebrations were\, however\, largely unsuccessful\, and some reacted to a
ban on bonfires in London (born from a fear of more burnings of the pope’s
effigy) by placing candles in their windows\, “as a witness against Catho
licism”.[24] When James was
deposed in 1688 by William of Orange—who\, importa
ntly\, landed in England on 5 November—the day’s events turned also to the
celebration of freedom and religion\, with elements of anti-Jacobitism. W
hile the earlier ban on bonfires was politically motivated\, a ban on fire
works was maintained for safety reasons\, “much mischief having been done
by squibs“.[16]

There is a growing global movement
for a Free Palestine. Across the world\, millions of people are engaging
in demonstrations and organizing major marches in solidarity with Palestin
e. Our demands for an immediate ceasefire\, cutting all aid to Israel\, an
d lifting the siege on Gaza have broader support than ever. On November 4t
h\, over 150\,000 will gather in Washington\, D.C. for the largest march i
n recent times to stand in solidarity with Palestine. Protests with half a
million people erupted on the streets of London\, constituents across Can
ada occupied over 17 MP offices from coast to coast\, and Belgian dock wor
kers’ unions have refused to transport weapons by plane or sea that are de
stined for Israel. We must keep building momentum and increase the pressur
e with more marches\, walk-outs\, sit-ins\, and other forms of direct acti
on directed at the political offices\, businesses\, and workplaces that fu
nd\, invest\, and collaborate with Israeli genocide and occupation.
\n<
p>NOW is the time for our mobilizations to grow in size\, frequenc
y\, and focus\; building a political climate that makes Israel’s business
of genocide unsustainable.\n
How
you can participate in this international day of action:
\n
\n
W
alk out from work and/or school
\n
Picket Israeli embassies and con
sulates
\n
Picket against companies that profit from Israel’s occup
ation of Palestine (Lockheed Martin\, Boeing\, Raytheon\, Northrop Grumman
\, General Dynamics\, Elbit Systems)
Already protesters have shut down highways\, train stations\, a
nd bridges in the United States\; activists have targeted Israeli weapons
manufacturers\; Belgian dockworkers’ unions have refused to handle weapons
transports to Israel\; Bolivia has cut diplomatic ties with Israel while
Jordan\, Chile\, and Colombia have recalled their Israeli ambassadors. Be
part of the change\, take action\, and make your voice heard as the global
struggle for Palestine enters a new phase.
\n
We call on movements\,
organized labor\, youth\, students\, media and healthcare workers\, and a

Our community is losing loved ones each da
y\, and our members are charging Biden with genocide. AROC has joined part
ner organizations in submitting an amicus brief in support of the genocide
complaint being heard in the federal court in Oakland on January 26th.
\n
The Biden administration is complicit in the unfolding geno
cide against Palestinians in Gaza. A lawsuit from Center for Constitutiona
l Rights on behalf of Palestinians from Gaza\, including 3 Bay Area commun
ity members\, has been brought against Pres. Biden\, Secretary Blinken\, a
nd Secretary Austen for their failure to prevent this genocide\, on behalf
of millions of Palestinians who are enduring the devastating effects of I
srael’s rampage and occupation.
\n
The case will be heard by
the Oakland Federal Court! Bay Area\, let’s rise up to hold the Biden Admi
nistration accountable for this genocide! Details to come!
\n<
p>On January 26\, we encourage all people of conscience to take action whi
le the lawsuit is being heard in the courtroom. If powerful countries are
not held to their human rights obligations to prevent genocide\, the law m
ust be taken into the streets.\n
This complai
nt is directed against President Joe Biden and senior government officials
—who filed a motion to dismiss the case on December 8—for their roles in t
he ongoing genocide in Gaza. Join us as part of the international day of a
ction on January 26th\, when the case will be heard in Oakland\, Californi

Earth Day is an annual event on April 22 to demonstrate support for environmental protect
ion. First held on April 22\, 1970\, it now includes a wide range of e
vents coordinated globally by Earthday.org (formerly Earth Day Network)[1] including 1 billion people in more than 193 countries
.[2][1][3] The official theme for 202
4 is “Planet vs. Plastics.” 2025 will be the 55th anniversary of Earth Day
.[4]
[5]
\n
In 1969 at a UNESCO Conference in San Francisco\, peace activistJohn McConnell proposed a day to honor
the Earth and the concept of peace\, to first be observed on March 21\, 19
70\, the first day of spring in the northern hemisphere
. This day of nature’s equipoise was later sanctioned in a proclamation wr
itten by McConnell and signed by Secretary General U Thant at the United Nations. A month later\
, United States Senator Gaylord Nelson proposed the idea to hold a nationwide environment
al teach-in on April
22\, 1970. He hired a young activist\, Denis Hayes\, to be the National Coordinator. Nelson
and Hayes renamed the event “Earth Day”. Denis and his staff grew the even
t beyond the original idea for a teach-in to include the entire United Sta
tes. More than 20 million people poured out on the streets\, and the first
Earth Day remains the largest single-day protest in human history. Key no
n-environmentally focused partners played major roles. Under the leadershi
p of labor leader W
alter Reuther\, for example\, the United Auto Workers (UAW) was the most instrum
ental outside financial and operational supporter of the first Earth Day.<
sup>[6][7][8] According to Hayes: “Without the UAW\, the first Eart
h Day would have likely flopped!”[9] Nelson was later awarded the
Pres
idential Medal of Freedom award in recognition of his work.[10]
[11] The first Earth Day was focused on the United States. In 1990\, De
nis Hayes\, the original national coordinator in 1970\, took it internatio
nal and organized events in 141 nations.[12][13][14] On Earth
Day 2016\, the landmark Paris Agreement was signed by the United States\, the United Ki
ngdom\, China\, and 120 other countries. This signing satisfied a key requ
irement for the
entry into force of the historic draft climate protection treaty adopted by consensu
s of the 195 nations present at the 2015 United Nations Climat
e Change Conference in Paris. Numerous communities engaged in
Earth Day Week actions\, an entire week of activities focused on
the environmental issues that the world faces.[15] On Earth D
ay 2020\, over 100 million people around the world observed the 50th anniv
ersary in what is being referred to as the largest online mass mobilizatio
n in history.[3] A similar but separate event\, World Environment Day\, is organized by the United Nations and observed annually on June 5.

Mass Inter-Faith Protest in Washington\
, D.C. on July 24th
On July 24th\, Benjamin
Netanyahu plans to address Congress and defend what he terms a “just war.”
However\, the reality of his actions tells a different story—one that inc
ludes the indiscriminate killing of civilians in Gaza and numerous other a
trocities.
\n
The International Criminal Court has charged Netanyahu
with war crimes and crimes against humanity in connection with the October
7 attacks on Israel and the subsequent war in Gaza. These charges encompa
ss extermination\, using starvation as a method of war\, denying humanitar
ian relief supplies\, and deliberately targeting civilians in conflict.
\n
There can be no “just war” when such egregious violations of human r
ights are committed. We are calling on faith leaders from all traditions t
o stand together and condemn Netanyahu’s leadership. His tactics have inst
illed fear in critics\, unjustly accusing them of anti-Semitism to silence
legitimate dissent. This has only furthered division and hate\, contribut
ing to an alarming rise in anti-Semitic and Islamophobic violence worldwid
e.
\n
We invite you to join us in Washington\, D.C. on July 24th\, wh
ere we will join thousands across the nation to protest Netanyahu’s addres
s to congress\, as a faith contingent. While Congress provides Netanyahu
with a platform\, we\, as people of faith\, are establishing our own platf
orm to present a moral and humanitarian perspective and challenge Netanyah
u’s argument of a just war. Our faith compels us to advocate for the poor\
, address the needs of the hungry\, and support those facing housing insec
urity. Therefore\, we cannot endorse this war and we must use our voices t
o issue a moral charge against Benjamin Netanyahu’s crimes against humanit
y.

July 24 Labor Contingent: Reject Netanya
hu’s address to Congress!
\n
\n
\n
On July 24\, wanted war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu is
set to address a joint meeting of Congress to request more U.S. aid for hi
s ongoing genocide of the Palestinian people. Providing this platform to N
etanyahu\, a war criminal carrying out a genocide as we speak is a profoun
d insult to the over hundred thousand Palestinians who have been killed or
injured just in the past nine months\, and is a profound insult to the U.
S. population\, a majority of whom reject the ongoing U.S. collaboration w
ith Israel’s assault on the Palestinian people. Both Democratic and Republ
ican lawmakers have been united in their support for Israel but there is n
o reason why a war criminal\, guilty of crimes against humanity\, should b
e allowed to address Congress.
\n
On July 24\, we will conv
ene from across the country in the largest rejection of a foreign diplomat
ic visit in U.S. history. We will call for his arrest in accordance with t
he ICC and for the end of U.S. aid and weapons to Israel. We will surround
the Capitol to form to show that Netanyahu is not welcome in the U.S. The
labor contingent will meet at 4th St NW & Pennsylvania Avenue NW.
\n
In its proudest moments\, the labor movement has stood firmly o
n the side of the oppressed\, and therefore on the side of justice. We rai
se our voices today in the spirit of that proud tradition of the same move
ment that stood against South African apartheid and in solidarity with tra
de union resistance to Latin America dictatorships.
\n
We r
aise our voices to demand that the U.S. government end its supply of aid a
nd weapons to Israel and to demand the arrest of war criminal Netanyahu in
accordance with the ICC ruling.
\n
We raise our voices to
express our solidarity with the people of Palestine.
\n

s that began in Zuccotti Park\, located in New York City’s Financial Distr
ict\, and lasted for fifty-nine days—from September 17 to November 15\, 20

/strong>
\n
Tel.: (628) 652- 4000
\n
This week
begins the preliminary hearings for those of the GG26 targeted with felony
conspiracy charges. These charges criminalize the very act of organizing
itself\, and nationwide\, prosecutors are leveraging conspiracy charges to
threaten and isolate our movements. From the Golden Gate 26 in SF to the
Cop City 61 in Atlanta\, our struggles against Zionism and policing are in
terconnected.
\n
MONDAY 10/21: Press conference + Ra
lly 8:15 AM
\n
Court is in session at 9am.
\n
TUES 10/22
- THURS 10/24: Gather on the steps and enter courthouse together
in the morning. Please be in line by 8:45 as the police deliberately slow
down the security process every time we pack the court.
\n
TH
URS 10/24: Alongside the felony preliminary hearing will be a mot
ion hearing for the misdemeanor defendants. We will split out the crowd ap
propriately given the progress of the felony hearing.
\n
Special requ
est: The GG26 legal defense team and defendants have requested that chanti
ng be limited to before and after court is in session. This is so that the
defense attorneys can make their arguments clearly and audibly\, and so t
hat they can accurately assess the prosecution’s legal arguments.

The BDS m

o to end its contracts with the Israeli military\, police\, prisons and ap
artheid government by participating in the Cisco Day of Action on
February 11.
\n
\n
Cisco currently provides t
he technological infrastructure to automate apartheid in the occupied Pale
stinian territory (OPT) and beyond through targeted surveillance
systems. Cisco’s technology enables Israel’s genocide against 2.3
million Palestinians in Gaza through advanced military communicat
ion networks facilitated by Cisco’s Unified Communication systems. Cisco p
rofits from its partnership with Israel’s occupation forces and willingly
supplies its technology to strengthen Israel’s apartheid regime – sometime
s on a pro-bono basis.

DESCRIPTION:
A boycott against corporations scaling back on diversity\, e
quity and inclusion or DEI efforts\, is creating buzz on social media as p
osts urge people to refrain from shopping at major retailers on Feb. 28. <
b>The economic blackout calls for consumers to not buy anything unless it
is from a small business.
\n
Companies like Target\, Amazon\, Met
a (parent of Facebook and Instagram) and Google changed their DEI policies
in the weeks since. Walmart\, America’s largest retailer\, had already do
ne so in November. In response\, users have been urging other consumers wh
o disagree with these decisions to stop spending money with these compa
nies.
Also in response to Trump\, PBS said it would be closing its DEI office. Amazon and Google are updating their DEI initiatives\, as wel
l.
\nA Target
store on November 20\, 2024\, in Austin\, Texas. BRANDON BELL/GETT
Y IMAGES\n
What
To Know
\n
More than 50\,000 have signed a petition against Target
that was started by Atlanta-based New Birth Missionary Baptist Church Past
or Jamal Bryant.
\n
Bryant originally advocated for his church congre
gation to participate in a 40-day fast of Target shopping\, and the messag
e has now gained traction online.
\n
The boycott is set to begin Marc
h 5 as a way to protest the recent changes Target is implementing when it
comes to DEI.
\n
While Target invested in a DEI program to help Black
employees and committed $2 billion to support Black-owned businesses in 2
021\, the company reversed stance on those initiatives this month.
\n<
p>Target also received criticism after removing Pride displays in rural st
ores because of conservative backlash in the last several years.\n
“
Historically\, the Black church has always been the centerpiece of the civ
il rights movement\,” Bryant told local station WAGA-TV in Atlanta. “If th
ey start losing $29 million a day for 40 days\, we will break the back of
the system.”
\n
More retailers could be at risk of being boycotted\,
as Bryant said Target was just the first to focus on with the 40-day fast.
\n
Newsweek reached out to Target for comment via email.
\n
What People Are Saying
\n
Ne
w Birth Missionary Baptist Church Pastor Jamal Bryant told WAGA:
“Black people spend on average $12 million a day in Target\, so with that
large of a consumption pie\, we need to be treated with a great decibel of
respect.”
\n
Michael Ryan\, a finance expert and the founder
of MichaelRyanMoney.com\, told Newsweek: “Their brand p
ositioning created higher expectations around social responsibility. When
they retreated from DEI commitments\, their core urban professional demogr
aphic saw it as a betrayal of stated values.”
\n
Kevin Thomps
on\, a finance expert and the founder and CEO of 9i Capital Group\, told <
em>Newsweek: “Target was one of many companies that pledged
to increase diversity following the nationally televised death of a Black
citizen at the hands of a police officer. The rollback of these initiative
s has left many feeling disillusioned\, viewing it as another example of c
orporate profit being prioritized over people. For the Black community\, t
his serves as a reminder that economic power—rather than votes—often drive
s meaningful change.”
\n
Alex Beene\, a financial literacy in
structor for the University of Tennessee at Martin\, told Newsweek: “This boycott is the latest in a string of economic initiative
s being aimed at big-box retailers like Target over their decision to roll
back DEI policies for hiring and training at a corporate level. This one p
articularly narrows in on Target\, which gained many headlines with its de
cision to eliminate DEI from company protocol. With something like this bo
ycott\, it’s hard to say how much steam it will pick up.”
\n
What Happens Next
\n
Ryan said the Target boycott
could make a substantial impact\, as the company’s stock is already tradin
g between $100 to $140 compared to $160 before the controversy.
\n
“T
arget’s attempt to find middle ground in a polarized environment appears t
o be backfiring\,” Ryan said. “Companies today must either fully commit to
their stated values or avoid taking social positions entirely. Half-measu
res open you up to criticism from all sides.”
There are two big states holding special
elections next week on April 1\, Mike. The state of Florida is holding a
special election to fill vacancies in the U.S. House of Representatives\,
following cabinet nominations by President Donald Trump.
\n
W
hy are these special elections important? Opponents of voting rig
hts hold a 3 seat majority — 218 to 215 — in the House. One media report
after another tells the tale — Speaker Mike Johnson is having a hard time
wrangling them all to vote for his priorities\, and any dent made in that
majority will make it harder for them to pass bills that harm voting right
s this year or next.
\n
It all starts with the American Confidence in
Elections (ACE) Act which would nationalize voter suppression and the Saf
eguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act\, which would add onerous vot
er ID requirements\, potentially disenfranchising millions of married wome
n who changed their last names. Those bills are just the tip of the suppre
ssive iceberg\, with many in Congress looking to follow the election lies
to policies that disenfranchise voters and make Trump happy.
\n
We can stop all that with huge voter turnout in these Florida specials.
But we need your help to make voters in Florida aware of these s
pecial elections\, when early voting starts\, how to request a new mail-in
ballot\, and so much more.

As we approach the 77th anniversary of the Na
kba\, the planned ethnic cleansing and expulsion of most of the Indigenous
people of Palestine\, your meaningful solidarity action is needed
now more than ever.
\n
Israel just announced its livestream
ed genocide against Palestinians is about to get even deadlier\, as it pre
pares for mass ethnic cleansing and total destruction of Gaza.
\n
\n
“In our thousands\, in our millions\, we are all Palestinians\,” is
a popular slogan of solidarity around the world. Given the ferocity of Is
rael’s daily massacres and its criminal impunity\, the Palestinian BDS Nat
ional Committee\, the largest Palestinian coalition leading the global BDS
movement\, calls for escalating peaceful pressure like never before. \nRise up and escalate BDS now! \nThe BDS m

TAKE ACTION: \n1: Mobilize: Take to the streets\, peacefully disrupt
the status quo\, occupy the offices of complicit governments\, institutio
ns and corporations (especially military\, tech\, finance and media).
\n
\n
2: Walkout: If you can\, tell your employe
r\, university\, school\, etc. why and stage mass walkouts at a specified
time. If you cannot\, then “call in sick” (sick of the horrible complicity
that enables the genocide!) or leave early to join mobilizations. \n
3: Pressure: Organize collectively to boycott BDS priority
targets\, organize popular pressure on: (a) elected officials to dema
nd targeted sanctions on Israel\, and (b) complicit institutions to pressu
re them to end their involvement in Israel’s crimes.
The Palestinian BDS movement calls on
supportersworldwide to participate in Anti-Chevron Day
on Wednesday\, May 21. Anti-Chevron Day has been organized by Ama
zon Watch since 2014. It is a global day of action protesting Chev
ron’s historical and ongoing climate destruction and violations of human r
ights globally\, especially in the Amazon basin in Latin America.
In solidarity with the BDS movement’s call to boycott Chevron for its com
plicity in Israel’s genocide and apartheid\, Amazon Watch and allies integ
rated the Palestinian Boycott Chevron campaign into the Anti-Chevron Day t
radition.
\n
\n
Anti-Chevron Day falls one week before
Chevron’s annual shareholder meeting (AGM). At the upcoming 2025
AGM\, shareholders will vote on a proposal calling on Chevron to audit it
s human rights abuses worldwide\, requiring input from civil society and h
uman rights organizations. This is a crucial time for our campaign to mobi
lize. We know that Chevron is feeling the heat! Chevron entered the Israel
i market in 2020\, and it can exit just as easily.
\n
\n
Be a
part of Anti-Chevron Day on May 21 by peacefully disrupting business as us
ual.
\n
\n
Action ideas include:
\n
\n<
li>BOYCOTT & PICKET: organizing a gas station boycott pic
ket\n
DIVEST: starting a campaign calling on your
city council\, university\, union\, or other institution to divest from C
hevron and/or exclude it from contracts\;
\n
DROP SPONSORSH
IPS: Organize an org sign on letter\, email campaign\, and/or pre
ssure campaign calling on community events or universities to end existing
Chevron sponsorships and partnerships\;
\n
EDUCATE: hosting an educational event on Chevron as a shared demand of movements
for environmental justice and justice for Palestine.
Ballroom event centering Black and Brown queer an

From the fierce revival of the Dyke March to sweaty dance
floors and roller skates on rooftops\, Saturday brings the full spectrum
of Pride celebration.
A party for queer women and their friends\; a night wit
h DJs\, dancing\, gogos and food.
\n
\n
Sunday\, June 29: Parade\, Parties & a Sky Full of Rainbows
\n
The city’s biggest day begins with a historic march down Market and e
nds in lasers\, light shows and one last epic dance. Save some energy for
the grand finale.
Streets closed: Market Street (Beale to 9th streets) 6 a.m. to 8
p.m.\; Polk\, Larkin\, Grove\, Hyde\, Golden Gate\, McAllister\, and Fult
on streets all weekend.
Watch those floodlights shift to Pride colors. Perfect photo op.\n
\n\n
Tips for a Smooth Weekend
\n<
ul>\n
Transit is King: Muni and BART avoid parking hea
daches (downtown garages run $30–40+).
\n
Pack Light: Only clear or small bags.
\n
Stay Fueled & Safe: Hydration stations dot Civic Center\; pick up free Narcan and fentanyl
strips at San Francisco Community Health Center (SFCHC) tents.
\n
<
strong>Meet-Up Spots: Choose fixed landmarks\; crowds and closure
s can mangle cell service.
\n\n
See y’all in the streets\, happ
y Pride!

DESCRIPTION:
The Declaration of Independence
\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
IN CONGRESS\, July 4\, 1776.
\n
The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of Amer
ica.
\n
When in the Course of human events\, it becomes necessary for
one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with
another\, and to assume among the powers of the earth\, the separate and
equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them
\, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should d
eclare the causes which impel them to the separation.
\n
We hold thes
e truths to be self-evident\, that all men are created equal\, that they a
re endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights\, that among t
hese are Life\, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.–That to secure these
rights\, Governments are instituted among Men\, deriving their just power
s from the consent of the governed\, –That whenever any Form of Government
becomes destructive of these ends\, it is the Right of the People to alte
r or to abolish it\, and to institute new Government\, laying its foundati
on on such principles and organizing its powers in such form\, as to them
shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence\, in
deed\, will dictate that Governments long established should not be change
d for light and transient causes\; and accordingly all experience hath she
wn\, that mankind are more disposed to suffer\, while evils are sufferable
\, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accu
stomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations\, pursuing invaria
bly the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despoti
sm\, it is their right\, it is their duty\, to throw off such Government\,
and to provide new Guards for their future security.–Such has been the pa
tient sufferance of these Colonies\; and such is now the necessity which c
onstrains them to alter their former Systems of Government. The history of
the present King of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and u
surpations\, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute
Tyranny over these States. To prove this\, let Facts be submitted to a can
did world.
\n
He has refused his Assent to Laws\, the most wholesome
and necessary for the public good.
\n
He has forbidden his Governors
to pass Laws of immediate and pressing importance\, unless suspended in th
eir operation till his Assent should be obtained\; and when so suspended\,
he has utterly neglected to attend to them.
\n
He has refused to pas
s other Laws for the accommodation of large districts of people\, unless t
hose people would relinquish the right of Representation in the Legislatur
e\, a right inestimable to them and formidable to tyrants only.
\n
He
has called together legislative bodies at places unusual\, uncomfortable\
, and distant from the depository of their public Records\, for the sole p
urpose of fatiguing them into compliance with his measures.
\n
He has
dissolved Representative Houses repeatedly\, for opposing with manly firm
ness his invasions on the rights of the people.
\n
He has refused for
a long time\, after such dissolutions\, to cause others to be elected\; w
hereby the Legislative powers\, incapable of Annihilation\, have returned
to the People at large for their exercise\; the State remaining in the mea
n time exposed to all the dangers of invasion from without\, and convulsio
ns within.
\n
He has endeavoured to prevent the population of these S
tates\; for that purpose obstructing the Laws for Naturalization of Foreig
ners\; refusing to pass others to encourage their migrations hither\, and
raising the conditions of new Appropriations of Lands.
\n
He has obst
ructed the Administration of Justice\, by refusing his Assent to Laws for
establishing Judiciary powers.
\n
He has made Judges dependent on his
Will alone\, for the tenure of their offices\, and the amount and payment
of their salaries.
\n
He has erected a multitude of New Offices\, an
d sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people\, and eat out their
substance.
\n
He has kept among us\, in times of peace\, Standing Ar
mies without the Consent of our legislatures.
\n
He has affected to r
ender the Military independent of and superior to the Civil power.
\n
He has combined with others to subject us to a jurisdiction foreign to ou
r constitution\, and unacknowledged by our laws\; giving his Assent to the
ir Acts of pretended Legislation:
\n
For Quartering large bodies of a
rmed troops among us:
\n
For protecting them\, by a mock Trial\, from
punishment for any Murders which they should commit on the Inhabitants of
these States:
\n
For cutting off our Trade with all parts of the wor
ld:
\n
For imposing Taxes on us without our Consent:
\n
For depr
iving us in many cases\, of the benefits of Trial by Jury:
\n
For tra
nsporting us beyond Seas to be tried for pretended offences
\n
For ab
olishing the free System of English Laws in a neighbouring Province\, esta
blishing therein an Arbitrary government\, and enlarging its Boundaries so
as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the
same absolute rule into these Colonies:
\n
For taking away our Chart
ers\, abolishing our most valuable Laws\, and altering fundamentally the F
orms of our Governments:
\n
For suspending our own Legislatures\, and
declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all cases
whatsoever.
\n
He has abdicated Government here\, by declaring us ou
t of his Protection and waging War against us.
\n
He has plundered ou
r seas\, ravaged our Coasts\, burnt our towns\, and destroyed the lives of
our people.
\n
He is at this time transporting large Armies of forei
gn Mercenaries to compleat the works of death\, desolation and tyranny\, a
lready begun with circumstances of Cruelty & perfidy scarcely paralleled i
n the most barbarous ages\, and totally unworthy the Head of a civilized n
ation.
\n
He has constrained our fellow Citizens taken Captive on the
high Seas to bear Arms against their Country\, to become the executioners
of their friends and Brethren\, or to fall themselves by their Hands.
\n
He has excited domestic insurrections amongst us\, and has endeavoure
d to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers\, the merciless Indian Sava
ges\, whose known rule of warfare\, is an undistinguished destruction of a
ll ages\, sexes and conditions.
\n
In every stage of these Oppression
s We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Pe
titions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince whose charact
er is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant\, is unfit to be
the ruler of a free people.
\n
Nor have We been wanting in attentions
to our Brittish brethren. We have warned them from time to time of attemp
ts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over us. W
e have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement
here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity\, and we h
ave conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurp
ations\, which\, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspond
ence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity
. We must\, therefore\, acquiesce in the necessity\, which denounces our S
eparation\, and hold them\, as we hold the rest of mankind\, Enemies in Wa
r\, in Peace Friends.
\n
We\, therefore\, the Representatives of the
united States of America\, in General Congress\, Assembled\, appealing to
the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions\, do\,
in the Name\, and by Authority of the good People of these Colonies\, sole
mnly publish and declare\, That these United Colonies are\, and of Right o
ught to be Free and Independent States\; that they are Absolved from all A
llegiance to the British Crown\, and that all political connection between
them and the State of Great Britain\, is and ought to be totally dissolve
d\; and that as Free and Independent States\, they have full Power to levy
War\, conclude Peace\, contract Alliances\, establish Commerce\, and to d
o all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do. And
for the support of this Declaration\, with a firm reliance on the protecti
on of divine Providence\, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives\, our
Fortunes and our sacred Honor.
Join us as organizations\, movement leaders\, community membe
rs\, students and intellectuals\, artists and cultural workers\, and activ
ists for a three-day convening to reflect\, discuss\, and strengthen ourse
lves and our fight for a free Palestine. The People’s Conference for Pales
tine will feature plenaries\, workshops\, art and cultural exhibits\, and
performances.
\n
This year\, we will have a new track for children fo
r the entirety of the conference. There will be special programming for ch
ildren for ages 6-12\, where will provide age-appropriate activities to en

also have babysitting/adult supervision for children aged 4-5. This confer

\n
This registration covers attendance at the conference only. Pa
rticipants must arrange travel and accommodation. No refunds will be provi

“On October 18\,” said organizers\, “we’re taking t
o the streets in more cities and in larger numbers to remind Trump\, his c
ronies\, and those on the sidelines looking for hope: America has no kings
.”
\n
(Image: No Kings)
\n
“No Kings i
s a non-violent movement that continues to rise stronger\, and we’re uniti
ng once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power belo
ngs to the people.”
The organizers behind the anti-Trump “No Kings” demons
trations that saw millions take to the streets earlier this year announced
Tuesday their next major protest will take place on October 18.
\n
F
ollowing thousands of events nationwide on June 14 that brought millions o
f people out to decry the actions of President Donald Trump\, the announcement for the n
ew date\, said organizers in a media alert\,
\n
comes amid President Trump’s latest escalations: threats to
send militarized forces into U.S. cities\, the continued detention and enc
ampment of immigrants\, and his recent remark that “a lot of people are sa
ying\, ‘maybe we’d like a dictator.’ The October mobilization is designed
as a direct\, non-violent rebuke to those authoritarian claims.
“Just pi
cking a day on the calendar won’t be enough to generate the kind of respon
se we need in this moment\,” said Invisible in a call to action sent to me
mbers on Tuesday. “A national day of protest takes time and immense resour
ces to prepare—tech and online infrastructure\, marketing materials\, secu
rity investments\, staging/sounds\, and so much more.”
\n
With Trump
“doubling down on his authoritarian tactics\,” the group continued\, the n
eed for sustained opposition has only grown more clear since the earlier a
ctions.
\n
Trump\, said Invisible\, “is disappearing immigrants to sp
rawling concentration camps\, sending troops into our cities\, threatening
to interfere in elections\, rigging maps to steal power from the voters\,
and orchestrating a massive giveaway to his billionaire allies as familie
s struggle. Trump is ramping up his attacks on our rights and democracy\,
but we’re not backing down. On October 18\, we’re taking to the streets in
more cities and in larger numbers to remind Trump\, his cronies\, and tho
se on the sidelines looking for hope: America has no kings.”

On November 5\, 2025\, there was no event referred to as “the fall
of the Trump fascist regime”. The phrase is the title of a planned\, non-
violent protest organized by the group Refuse Fascism.
\n
Details on
the planned protest
\n
\n
What: Refuse Fascism i
s calling for a large-scale\, non-violent protest to take place in Washing
ton\, D.C.\, and other cities.
\n
When: The protes
ts are scheduled to begin on November 5\, 2025.
\n
Purpose:
The organizers aim to “grind the machinery of the fascist regime
to a halt” through sustained\, non-violent action until Donald Trump is r
emoved from power. The date marks the one-year anniversary of the 2024 pre
sidential election.
\n
\n
Political context in the fall of 2025<
/p>\n
Following Donald Trump’s victory in the November 2024 election\, s
everal reports describe a turbulent political climate in the U.S. in the f
all of 2025.
\n
\n
A government shutdown began on September 30\,
2025\, after President Trump and Congress failed to reach a spending agree
ment.
\n
News reports from March 2025 described Trump’s first weeks
in office as generating controversy and creating a sense of anxiety about
a potential “turn to fascism”.
\n
Other reporting highlighted conc
erns from civil society activists regarding a decline in civic freedoms\,
including restrictions on protests and personnel changes in government age
ncies\, particularly after the start of Trump’s second administration in J
anuary 2025.
\n
Some analyses focused on the implementation of poli
cy proposals from Project 2025\, a plan created by conservative organizati
ons to reshape the federal government.
\n
\n
It is impor
tant to note: The phrase “Trump fascist regime” is a characteriza
tion used by the protest organizers and their allies. It is not an officia
lly recognized designation or a factual description of the U.S. government
.

From the San Francisco general str
ike of 1934\, a major catalyst for national trade unionizing\, to the rece
nt UC Berkeley academic worker strike\, the Bay Area has long been a hotbe
d of labor activism. Where this history intersects with the arts has been
less apparent — but an exhibition at the Tenderloin Museum sheds new light
. “Education for Action: California Labor School\, 1942-1957\,” presented
in collaboration with the Labor Ar
chives and Research Center at San Francisco State\, focuses on the his
tory of the eponymous trade school\, which operated out of San Francisco’s
Tenderloin neighborhood and featured a robust arts program as a cornersto
ne of its education model.
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
Founded in 1942\, the school started in a loft on
Turk Street\, but eventually occupied its own building at 240 Golden Gate
Ave.\, today home to SEIU Local 87. The school was funded by over 100 unio
ns to educate their growing membership\, as an influx of workers from the
American South entered the Bay Area to assist in the war effort’s shipbuil
ding and maritime industries. In addition\, the school’s “cultural program
” included classes in everything from drawing\, sculpture and literature t
o choral singing and modern dance. A student there might have attended a W
.E.B DuBois lecture\, studied with Frank Lloyd Wright and Pete Seeger or h
ad Maya Angelou for a classmate. And that’s to name only a few of the hist
orical figures who passed through.
\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n\n\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
A slideshow of photographs and ephemera included in the exhibition at
the Tenderloin Museum\, courtesy of the Labor Archives\, paint a vibrant p
icture of the school. The student body was evidently diverse\, the moral i
mperative decidedly Marxist. An outdoor art exhibition might be mistaken f
or a rally\; a philosophy class for a political forum. One brochure featur
es an illustration of a man in overalls reading a book\, alongside the slo
gan: “Education for victory.” A flyer advertising painting classes reminds
potential students that “People are creative.” A poster boasting the slog
an “Build democracy’s weapon\,” features an illustration of a multiethnic
group of adults and children brandishing books.
\n
\n
\n\n
\n\n
\n
The exhibition also features a robust schedule of public programs. Just a
handful include a Drag Story Hour with legendary drag performer Per Sia a
nd joint performance by Rockin’ Solidarity Chorus and Freedom Songs Reviva
l\, both on Feb. 25\, as well as a lecture\, “Labor in the Loin\,” on Apri
l 20\, and a historical walking tour on the same subject on April 22. Thes
e\, and more events to follow\, carry out the spirit of education for acti
on\, with an emphasis on local artists and scholars.
\n
\n
\n
Art is no stranger to politics\, wheth
er utilized blatantly in wartime propaganda posters or more subliminally i
n the fine arts. In a society segmented by class\, and in which culture is
often weaponized\, there can’t be art for art’s sake — even the absence o
f overt politics. Art can change the way we see the world and shake us loo
se from our social mores. At the very least\, it forces the viewer to see
things through a different set of sensibilities than their own. Art making
is always a political act in its insistence on a plurality of subjectivit
ies. It is subversive even as an act of joy or a practice of unification d
espite\, or in spite of\, differences.
\n
\n
\n
In 1948\, the California Labor School (renamed as su
ch in 1945) was designated a subversive organization by the U.S. attorney
general\, which led to the revocation of the school’s tax-exempt status an
d its eventual collapse under crippling debt in 1957. But the ultimate fai
lure of the labor school was perhaps its greatest victory\, proving many o
f the school’s core tenets. Solidarity can threaten hegemony. Creativity c
an threaten programmatic thought. Art can be dangerous.

DESCRIPTION:
A few weeks ago\, we told you about our plans to build the m
ovement for CalCare in 2023. Today\, we’re reaching out to you with an exc
iting announcement:
Here’s our film for Earth Month – a re-visit to California’s water s
ituation. We can celebrate the amount of rain we’ve gotten this winter an
d spring\, but even with a number of ‘atmospheric rivers’\, the state most
likely will still be in a drought situation. This film does a great job
of giving the viewer a grasp of the complex water delivery system that mak
es water possible to all Californians.

(This event will be an
hybrid event with both virtual and at-the-church viewing.)
\n
\n
River’s End: California Latest Water Wars is a 2021 f
ilm written and directed by Jacob Morrison. It explores the global water
crisis of who gets fresh water and how moneyed interests (Agri- Business)
have gamed the system.
\n
The film also explores the connection between increased water use fo
r Central Valley agriculture and the decline of the freshwater ecosystem i
n the Sacramento River Delta region. It also draws parallels between the
construction of the Los Angeles Aqueduct during the historic California Wa
ter Wars and the now proposed conveyance tunnels.
\n
Hopefully River’s End will inspire
viewers to learn where their water comes from so that we can save our riv
ers and ecosystems and communities that depend upon them.

Saturday\, April 22nd 2023 \n<
strong>1:00pm-2:30pm \nTenderloin Museum 398 Eddy St \nFree! \nExplore and celebrate the history of the labor moveme
nt in the TL with a presentation by Catherine Powell of the Labor Archives
& Research Center at SFSU.\n
With its densely built reside
ntial hotels and central city location\, the Tenderloin has long been a hu
b of working class culture and a home for working people. Union halls\, la
bor art and education\, titanic battles with the city’s employers\, and br
eaking down racial barriers all inform labor’s rich and fascinating histor
ical record in the TL. Join us for an evening that explores and celebrates
the history of the labor movement in the Tenderloin with Catherine Powell
of the Labor Archives & Research Center (LARC) at SFSU.
\n
LARC is h
ome to many collections of primary source materials that document the live
ly history of the San Francisco Bay Area\; Labor in the ‘Loin is
presented as part of Education for Action: California Labor School\, 1
942-1957\, a collaboration with LARC that celebrates the radical\, un
ion-founded worker’s school. Established in the TL\, the California Labor
School was remarkable for its efforts to educate the whole person by offer
ing a robust complement of humanities courses in tandem with classes on tr
ade skills and organizing. Now\, its curriculum is inspiring the public pr
ograms connected to the special exhibit on view at the Tenderloin Museum\,
including this inquiry into the labor movement’s hyper-local highlights.<
/p>\n
For Labor in the ‘Loin\, Powell will survey the districts
’ deep vein of labor history and connect this lineage to current local uni
ons. We’ll look to the past to see the city from the unique point of view
of those who have worked in its garment factories\, labored in its hotels\
, and performed in SF’s renowned symphony and jazz halls\; we’ll also exam
ine the present day labor scene\, including the neighborhood is home to th
e city’s largest private sector union\, UNITE HERE Local 2\, as well as th
e country’s first union to receive government funds to counsel immigrant w
orkers\, SEIU Janitors’ Local 87.
\n
Join us for an examination of a
vital aspect of the Tenderloin’s economic\, political\, and social life: l
abor in the ‘loin! The special exhibit Educa
tion for Action and this related programming is made possible tha
nks to a grant from California Humanities.

It’s been a heady two weeks and there is a lot
to unpack about the tragic murder of Bob Lee and how the media\, readers
and public officials responded. All of this will be on the agenda for Joe Eskenazi’s first monthly conversation at Manny’s. Demian Bulwa\, director of news at the San Francisco Chronic
le and Julie Makinen\, editor-in-chief at the Sa
n Francisco Standard\, will join Eskenazi f
or the evening.
In the meantime\, I thought you migh
t want to hear from Joe about why he first questioned the alignment of Lee
’s murder with mayhem in San Francisco and how he broke the story of the a
rrest of another tech executive\, Nima Momeni.

LC: Joe\, what prompted your April 7
column Bob Lee deserved better than to be ki
lled — and then co-opted in death? It went against the grain
of San Francisco reporting that elevated the tech voices conflating Lee’s
murder with a view of San Francisco as a city with out-of-control crime?
I feel bad for people who abruptly and violentl
y lost a friend or loved one or family member in Bob Lee. But the reaction
to his death soon began to resemble the conclusion of Steinbeck’s In
Dubious Battle — but as if the powerful land barons began attempting
to politically exploit a death\, not the put-upon migrant workers.
\n\n\n

\n
\n
\n
\n
We don’t have time here to go into th
e local ramifications of wealthy and powerful people amplifying a narrativ
e of out-of-control violent crime — a narrative that persists despite havi
ng no statistical basis of fact. Using Lee’s still-warm body for this purp
ose struck me as crass and misguided\, as does commingling the overt miser
y\, drug use\, and property crime San Francisco does have with th
e violent crime it\, blessedly\, has far less of.

\n
\n
\n
This struck me as something that needed to be said. By
me. Now.
LC: Different outlets tried to mitigate the erroneous view of rampant crime
with data showing clearly that this was not the case. Did these stories c
ome too late or was the other emotional storyline about rampant crime simp
ly too alluring?

\n
JE: To be frank\, it felt like a lot of news outlets were at war
with themselves. The problem with writing eight to 10 stories about an inc
ident — with some clearly providing statistics on overarching trends and o
thers quoting people who are conflating anecdotes or even a single inciden
t with overarching trends — is that readers can choose the one that compor
ts with their worldview. We can also talk about why this killing spawned s
o many stories and the other 11 recorded homicides in San Francisco this y
ear received a paucity of coverage.

LC: Sometimes\, when I first read one of your c
olumns\, I feel like you’re starting from a visceral reaction – prompted b
y anger at what you see and a gut empathy with the victim? Is that at all
the case?

JE: Ideally\, you don’t dump a bucket of mash over someone’s head but in
stead distill it into something drinkable. But it does start with those in
gredients.
JE: Remember the 1999 movie
Election? Remember how the Matthew Broderick character is caught
rigging a high-school election by a janitor who found the ballots he tosse
d in the garbage?

From the
beginning\, my sources were adamant that this was not a random attack nor
a robbery but a targeted killing. Everything I was told has been corrobora

Join us for a
special webinar \nto honor Dan Ellsberg & other whistleblowers on Ap
ril 25 at 7PM ET!
In 1969\, Daniel Ellsberg copied and leaked the Pentagon Papers
\, that told the people of the United States that they were being lied to
about what was happening in Vietnam. For his courage he faced 115 years in
prison. A few months ago he found out he was diagnosed with late-stage pa
ncreatic cancer. CODEPINK is joining our partners in declaring it Daniel E
llsberg week.
We will also host a virtual event to
honor Dan on April 25 at 7PM ET with Julian Assange’s brother\, Gabriel S
hipton\, CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou\, and Jesslyn Raddack\, attorney
and member of Daniel Hale’s support team. Join us here!
\n
I could say a lot about Dan Ellsberg and the Pentagon Papers. But I’d
rather you all hear from him\, in his own words. Below is excerpts from a
letter Dan sent to his anti-war movement family when he received his diag
nosis:
\n
When I copied the Pentagon Papers in 1969 I
had every reason to think I would be spending the rest of my life behind
bars. It was a fate I would gladly have accepted if it meant hastening the
end of the Vietnam War (unlikely as that seemed\, and was). Yet in the en
d\, that action– in ways I could not have foreseen\, due to Nixon’s illega
l responses– did have an impact on shortening the war. In addition\, thank
s to Nixon’s crimes\, I was spared the imprisonment I expected\, and I was
able to spend the last fifty years with my wife Patricia and my family\,
and with you\, my friends…
\n
…I was able to devote those years to doing everything I could think o
f to alert the world to the perils of nuclear war and wrongful interventio
ns…As I look back on the last sixty years of my life I think there is no g
reater cause to which I could have dedicated my efforts. For the last fort
y years we have known that nuclear war between the US and Russia would mea
n nuclear winter…
\n
…I’m
happy to know that millions of people have the wisdom\, dedication\, and
moral courage to carry on with these causes\, and to work unceasingly for
the survival of our planet and its creatures.

Saturday
\, April 29: Join the Latin America & Caribbean Policy Forumin Washington DC\, at American University!
Before my career in jo
urnalism\, I spent several years as a Latino community and civil rights ac
tivist\, helping to found and lead the Young Lords Party during the late 1
960s and the National Congress for Puerto Rican Rights in the early 1980s.
My experiences during that time have given me a deep appreciation for the
power of grassroots movements to effect change and inspire hope.
\n
That is why I am thrilled to invite you to the Latin America and the Carib
bean Policy Forum\, this Saturday\, April 29\, where we will
explore how governments and people in the Americas are rejecting the 200-y
ear-old Monroe Doctrine and demanding respect and non-interference from th
eir neighbor to the north.
\n
Together\, we will look at movements th
at are opposing sanctions and unilateral intervention\, countering militar
ism with cooperation\, building independent regional institutions\, addres
sing the climate crisis\, and helping migrants. Register now
to hear from brilliant speakers such as Belly of the Beast’s award-winning
Cuban journalist Liz Oliva Fernández\, Mexican renowned scholar of Criti
cal Theory and the Philosophy of Liberation Jorge Zuñiga\, and Nick Estes
\, founder of the indigenous resistance group Red Nation.
\n
\n<
p>But we won’t stop at just hearing about their struggles and triumphs. We
’ll also explore actionable steps we can take to stand with them\, and dem
and change from those in power. Together\, we’ll map out a new roadmap tow
ards a respectful and positive relationship towards Latin America and the
Caribbean\n
I truly believe that this forum is a unique opportunity
to engage with these vital issues and to learn from some of the brightest
minds in the region. Best of all\, registration is completely free. But sp
ace is limited\, so I encourage you to register now and secur
e your spot.
\n
I look forward to seeing you there.

Last month\, we were joined by hundreds
of people across California for a Statewide Weekend of Action for CalCare
to demonstrate the power of our movement for a single-payer health care sy
stem in our state.
\n
The Weekend of Action was a huge success — more
than 50 events took place and hundreds of people took action across every
corner of California. They connected with thousands of folks in their com
munities and built support for a single-payer health care system that puts
patients above profits.

You are invited to join our Tuesday CODEPINK CONGRES
S Calling Party to talk with special guests about recent politica
l movement towards ending the Cuban embargo and lifting sanctions on Venez
uela.
\n
Chat with peacemakers and experts Tuesday\, May 2nd
at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET:
A bipartisan group of senato
rs recently introduced a bill to remove key parts of the U.S. embargo on C
uba\, which has been in place for sixty years in a failed attempt to overt
hrow Cuba’s socialist government.
\n
Might this bip
artisan push–ahead of the 2024 election– lead President Biden to ease the
embargo on the island nation?
\n
Join CODEPINK Con
gress for a lively discussion on ending the Cuban embargo AND lifting US s
anctions on Venezuela. Last year the Biden administration eased some of th
e oil sanctions on Venezuela and more may be lifted as the war in Ukraine
drags on and the White House seeks support for its proxy war with Russia.<
/p>\n
During our program\, we will also share highlights from
CODEPINK’s Latin America & Caribbean Policy Forum held in Washington DC.\n
Featuring:
\n
Liz Oliva Fernánde
z is a Cuban journalist and the presenter of The War on Cuba\, fo
r which she won a Gracie Award. Apart from her journalism and filmmaking w
ith Belly of the Beast\, Liz is a dedicated anti-racist and feminist activ
ist based in Havana.
\n
Alexander Main is
Director of International Policy at the Center for Economic and Policy Res
earch in Washington\, DC. In his work at CEPR\, Alex monitors economic and
political developments in Latin America and the Caribbean and regularly e
ngages with policy makers and civil society groups from around the region.
Time travel with us to experience the elabor
ate neon movie marquees that once saturated Market Street near San Francis
co’s Tenderloin.
\n
Between the 1930s–1960s\, Market Street
was home to a dense collection of cinemas between 5th and 10th Streets\, w
ith extravagant neon marquee and projecting signs. All but three of these
movie theaters are now closed\, and several of them were demolished\; now
it is a treasure hunt to discover these beautiful and mostly bygone neon s
igns where San Francisco’s movie-lovers gathered from the near-by Tenderlo
in\, Union Square shops\, and beyond.
\n
Enter neon nirvana and spend
an evening with Al Barna and Randall Ann Homan\, founders of San Francisco Neon\, with co-presenter Jim Van Buskirk\,
author of Celluloid San Francisco\, to learn about Market Street
’s many neon movie marquees! This illustrated presentation is an in-person
event at the Tenderloin Museum.

Please
join me next week at my Budget Town Hall where I will provide an update to
constituents about the state’s finances and investment priorities.
\n<
p>Under my leadership as Assembly Budget Chair for the past seven years\,
one of my goals has been to build our reserves. Thanks to this foresight a
nd the voters for supporting Proposition 2\, the Rainy Day Fund and other
reserves have been built to weather a downturn in the economy. This helps
prevent severe budget cuts and allows us to protect the progress we’ve mad
e on things like education\, housing\, safety net programs and more.\n
As we craft the 2023-24 spending plan over the next month to meet the J
une 15th constitutional deadline\, I also want to use this oppo

For Jenkins

Her campaign for DA\, fu

in attacks on our LGBTQIA+ communities. In PNHP’s May forum
we will hear from activists and healthcare professionals working in L
GBTQIA+ health\, discussing how this urgent fight is part of a larger figh

For more information about how widespread anti-trans
laws are across the US please see a recent article from Vox<
/a>. According to the Washington Post\, more than 150 bills to re
strict the lives of trans people were filed in state legislatures in 2022.
The Guardian reports that “sta
tes where lawmakers have aggressively pursued anti-trans legislation\, in
cluding Texas and Arkansas\, have extraordinarily high levels of suicide risk\, though the rates are nearly as hi
gh in some progressive states\, including New York\, California and Oregon
.” Also\, “many of these bills targeted trans youth\, including r
estricting their access to gender-affirming medical care\, participation i
n sports\, and ability to use bathrooms that match their gender identities
.”

DESCRIPTION:
\n
Shortly before his death\, Pres
ident Franklin Roosevelt wrote these words:
\n
“We cannot be cont
ent\, no matter how high that general standard of living may be\, if some
fraction of our people — whether it be one-third or one-fifth or one-tenth
— is ill-fed\, ill-clothed\, ill-housed\, and insecure.”
\n
Nea
rly 80 years later\, it’s time to bring back those words as well as the so
lution Roosevelt prescribed. He wanted an Economic Bill of Rights\, and so
do I.
\n
We can begin a new chapter in American history\, wi
th a goal of economic security for all Americans. Poll after poll
shows that Americans feel this country is moving in the wrong direction e
conomically – and they are correct.
\n
When I am president th
is will change. Please join me Thursday and hear more about my plans.
\n
Tune in to the speech at Marianne2024.com. Tell your f
riends about it\, and make a contribution to build the movement that will
deliver on the promise of a 21st Century Economic Bill of Rights.

DESCRIPTION:
We’ve chosen a
film this month about guns in the U.S.A. This film 91%: Guns in Amer
ica is very straight forward about this serious situation in our count
ry and how embedded it’s getting. The film maker points the way toward a
“common sense” solution.
\n
\n
We’ll be doing our normal film screening at 6:30pm this comin
g Friday from the Zoom link below. Sorry for the lateness in this announcement and hope you can join u
s.
(This event will be an hybrid event with both virtual and at-the-c
hurch viewing.)
\n
9
1% is the percentage of people who came out for comprehensive backg
round checks for gun ownership. The film focuses on the massacre of young
children at Sandy Hook Elementary School in New Town\, Connecticut in 201
3. It takes us through the debate on gun ownership in the U.S. at a time
when people could see the truth about where gun ownership is going in Amer
ica. It lays the blame for the country’s confusion about the 2nd Amendment on the heads of the politicians and lobbyists.
\n
91% was directed
by John Ritchie\, who was the Executive Producer of the acclaimed 2013 do
cumentary film\, Shell Shocked. It delved into the killing of Blac
k teenagers in New Orleans and the lives affected in one of America’s “mur
der capitals”.
\n
<
b>Our film\, 91%: A Film about Guns in America\, brings some hope o
f solving the deadlocked gun debate. Most people are on the same side on
this issue and it’s not impossible for a positive resolution.

Making War Invisible: In a
searing indictment of the US war machine\, author Norman Solomon lays muc
h of the blame for decades of carnage–from Iraq to Afghanistan to Yemen to
Somalia–at the door of the media: ABC\, NBC\, CBS\, the cable news networ
ks\, the New York Times and Washington Post-all stenographers for the Pent
agon\, which has yet to pass an audit. Norman will share excerpts from his
just released book\, “War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Tol
l of Its Military Machine\,” and trace the roots of the Congressional Mili
tary Media Complex to better understand how best to challenge the war mach
ine.
\n
Making War Visible: Our second guest\, Matth
ew Hoh\, Associate Director of the Eisenhower Media Network\, will share t
he genesis and projects undertaken by this organization of former military
\, intelligence and State Department officials to make war visible. The Ei
senhower Media Network recently ran a full-page letter in the New York Tim

lomacy to resolve the Russia-Ukraine war. A disabled Iraq War Veteran\, H
oh will share his personal journey from a member of the military to anti-w
ar activism.
\n
Featuring:
\n
Norman Solomon
is the national director of RootsAction.org and the executive di
rector of the Institute for Public Accuracy. He is the author of many book
s including his latest indictment of the military industrial media complex
\, “War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of Its Military M
achine” (The New Press\, June 2023). For 17 years Norman wrote the syndic
ated weekly newspaper column “Media Beat\,” assessing the quality of mains
tream journalism in the United States.
\n
Matthew Hoh is the Associate Director of the Eisenhower Media Network\, an organizat
ion of expert former military\, intelligence\, and civilian national secur
ity officials who seek to reach broad\, cross-partisan audiences in divers
e media outlets and among the American people – who increasingly sense tha
t U.S. foreign policy today is not making them\, or the world\, safer. Mat

Thursday\, June 29 : Court Hearing\, Ju
stice for Sean Moore
San Francisco Hall of Justice \n850 Bryant St.\, Dept. 20 (2nd Floor) \nSF
\n
Please join us for a court hearing on Thursday\, where Distr
ict Attorney Brooke Jenkins will decide whether or not to prosecute SFPD’s
officer Kenneth Cha\, who killed an unarmed Black man\, Sean Moore. DA Je
nkins may decide to allow more delays or to drop the charges against the o
fficer. We want to show up and express frustration at her inaction to hol
d police officers accountable for murder\, and to show support for Sean Mo
ore’s family.
\n
During last month’s court hearing\, the judge pointe
d out that there was a room full of people waiting to see what would happe
n with the case so it’s clear that our presence in court was noticed. Let’
s keep up the support for Sean Moore’s family and raise the pressure on DA
Jenkins to hold officer Kenneth Cha accountable for the murder of Sean Mo
ore.
\n
Delays have been going on for over a year and a half. The fam
ily has shown up for every court hearing and have also been in support of
Keita O’Neils family in their appeals for justice.
\n
Mrs. Moore has
recently had some medical issues\, please hold her in your thoughts.
\n
Photo of Sean’s mother Cleo Moore and his brother Kenneth Blackmon\, wa
s taken in May at the last court hearing. More info below photo.
On May 19th her office officially dismissed the case against former SFPD of
ficer Christopher Samayoa\, for the killing of Keita O’Neil
\n
On May
11\, 2023\, Jenkins dismissed the charges on SFPD’s officer Christopher F
lores for the shooting of Jamaica Hampton

Breaking news of the Supreme Court striking down student debt relief was
a gut punch\, but it has only galvanized our movement.
\n
Biden can s
till Cancel Student Debt\, and Our Revolution is organizing with US Rep. R
o Khanna and mobilizing our student debt leaders around the country to cal
l on the President to deliver using the Higher Education Act.
We can’t let stu
dent debt payments restart in September – with interest! – in the middle o
f an affordability crisis. That is a recipe for disaster for 43 million pe
ople\, our families and communities.
\n
President Biden said he’s wil
ling to go to Plan B\, but our movement must be strong and unified in hold
ing him to it. Join us on Monday to organize directly with Ro Khanna and o
ur student debt coalition as we enter the next phase of this fight.
We are coming t
ogether for a protest on Wednesday\, July 12th at 11am outside the Hall of
Justice (850 Bryant Street) after DA Brooke Jenkins decided to dro
p the charges against the SFPD police officer\, Kenneth Cha who murdered S
ean Moore.
\n
The attorney from the DA’s office\, Darby Wil
liams\, (who manages the Independent Investigations Bureau in the DA’s of
fice) broke the news to Sean Moore’s family\, one day after she stood in c
ourt and scheduled a preliminary hearing to move the case forward. The DA’
s office has put Sean Moore’s family through physical and emotional turmoi
l by dragging out this case and misleading them about where it was going.
We need to call her out for her inaction to hold police accountable in not
just this case\, but 2 other police misconduct cases that her office inhe
rited.
\n
– On May 19th her office officially dismissed th
e case against former SFPD officer Christopher Samayoa\, for the killing o
f Keita O’Neil
\n
– On May 11\, 2023\, Jenkins dismissed the charges
on SFPD’s officer Christopher Flores for the shooting of Jamaica Hampton<
/p>\n
We stand in solidarity with the family of Sean Moore who are outra
ged at this injustice as\, once again\, DA Jenkins demonstrates her comple
te lack of commitment to hold police officers accountable in San Francisco
. Victims of police violence deserve a DA who will fight for their rights
as survivors of crime.

DESCRIPTION:
Every day and in every part of the world\, we are seeing the
devastating effect climate change is having on our planet.
\n
The tr
uth is that if we are going to leave behind a planet that is healthy and h
abitable for our children and our grandchildren\, we must ask ourselves a
series of very fundamental questions:
\n
What kind of future can we e
xpect?
\n
Can we expect a future of widespread heat waves and wildfir
es\, where temperature records are repeatedly broken month after month\, y
ear after year? Or will we fight back?
\n
Can we expect a future wher
e rising sea levels\, devastating floods\, droughts\, and extreme weather
disturbances are accepted as commonplace? Or will we have the guts to take
on the fossil fuel industry and demand that enough is enough?
\n
How
do we transform our energy systems towards efficient and renewable forms
of power?
\n
How do we create a sense of urgency and bring the intern
ational community together to combat climate change?
\n
When it comes
to answering these questions and addressing the existential threat of the
climate crisis\, I have often heard that bold action to avert its effects
is ‘too expensive’\, or ‘too radical’.
\n
But the fact is that for t
he sake of future generations\, for the sake of the planet\, we cannot giv
e in to despair. We have got to stand up and fight back.
\n
That’s wh
y this Wednesday\, July 12 at 8:00 p.m. ET\, I’ll be hosting a panel discu
ssion with some of the leading voices in our movement’s fight against the
climate crisis on where we go from here\, and I’m hoping that you will joi
n me in that conversation.
\n
Here are all the details\, Mike
. Can you RSVP today to say you’ll tune in and join us for this important
event?
O
ur greatest weapon in the fight against the climate crisis is solidarity\,
and nothing short of the future of our planet is at stake. So thank you f
or being a part of our movement\, and thank you for adding your name to RS
VP for this important livestream event.
\n
Not me. Us.

In sol
idarity\,

If we want to win our fight for healthcare jus
tice\, we have to develop and sharpen the skills we need to talk about our
issues\, persuade our friends and neighbors\, and bring folks together to
make change. Our training series breaks down how our current healthcare s
ystem works\, the impact for-profit healthcare is having on our communitie
s and our country\, and how we can organize to get us all the justice we d
eserve. Whether you are an experienced organizer looking for a refresher o
r brand new activist looking to get involved for the first time\, join us
to learn together and build power!
\n
Our trainings are conducted onl
ine with a live facilitator in an interactive workshop format. Each traini
ng is self-contained\, so you are welcome to enroll in all of them or just
choose the topics that interest you. Once you sign up below\, you’ll get
an email confirmation with the link to connect to your training.
8:00-9:00PM eastern / 7:00-8:00PM central / 5:00-6:00P

\n\n
A good follow-up to our “Strategy and P
ower Mapping” training\, this workshop walks you through the nuts and bolt
s of planning and executing an organizing campaign. We discuss how to pick
the most effective tactics\, how to escalate your campaign\, and how to d
eal with a range of unique situations (such as organizing allies\, or thos
e who are strongly opposed to us).
\n
This workshop picks up where th
e Strategy training leaves off\, assuming that you’ve selected a campaign
as a stepping-stone of a longer-term strategy\, and that your campaign has
a clear decision-maker you’re trying to influence.

Brothers On The Line is an award winning documentary exploring
the extraordinary journey of the Reuter brothers ( Walter\, Roy and Victor
) three prolific union organizers who helped build the United Auto Workers
( UAW). Directed by Sasha Reuter (Victor’s Grandson) and narrated by Mart
in Sheen this film includes graphic archival footage\, a pulsating soundtr
ack as well as first hand accounts from labor\, management and political p
ersonalities including one of the last interviews with Senator Ted Kennedy
.
\n
The film shows
the behind the headlines of picket line conflict\, assassination attempts
and inter -union power struggle during this forty year crusade that led to
unionization of GM\, Ford and Chrysler auto workers known as the United A
uto Workers( UAW). Also the film shows how the UAW played a major role in
underwriting the Civil Rights Movement\, the farm workers fight led by Ce
sar Chavez and helped raise living standards not just for the millions of
autoworkers but also for a large number of American workers.
\n
The odyssey of the Reuter Brot
hers resonates far beyond their era as it remains an influential crusade t
hat contributed to building a robust middle class while forcing American d
emocracy to live up to its promise of equality.

Nurses know firsthand the consequences of our broken health care sy

all.

DESCRIPTION:
Sensible Cinema is back from our vacation hiatus. We
start out with a documentary about brave people standing for the American
right of “Freedom of Speech”. This film\, Boycott\, is about the struggle
of the BDS (Boycott-Divest-Sanction) Movement.
\n
\n
You might be aware that my email was hacked recently\, a
nd emails may have been sent out to some of you from my lists. My sincere
apologies about that. Everything is back in order\, and I’m supposedly p
rotected against such intrusions. I hope we can continue to work together
this way. If you no longer wish to be on my Sensible Cinema list\, let m
e know.
(This event will be an hybrid event with both vi
rtual and at-the-church viewing.)
\n
The award-winning film Boycott by director Julia B
acha traces the impact of state legislation designed to penalize individua
ls and companies that choose to boycott Israel due to its human rights rec
ords. Through the stories and legal battles of three Americans a publishe
r\, an attorney and a pediatric speech pathologist the attack of freedom o
f speech in 36 states is exposed.
\n
Regardless of where you stand on the Israel-Pales
tine issue the film Boycott is a call for Americans to prote
ct their right to dissent before they disappear.

Fortunately\
, we’ve developed strategies in our time fighting for Medicare for All tha

fixing our broken health care system a top priority.
As hard as we’re working in DC\, Eagan and I can’t be every

\n
Through meeting with elec

.
\n
By the end of our call\, you’ll have a full toolbox of strategie
s to win municipal legislators\, state legislators\, and members of Congre
ss.

San Francisco Rally for Peace in Ukraine

STAND WITH THE PEOPLE OF HAITI \, Protest Another US/UN Military Invasio

Haiti Action Committee condemns in the strongest possibl
e terms the UN Security Council vote on Monday to authorize yet another in
vasion of Haiti. Organized and promoted by the US\, the invasion will be f
ronted by Kenya\, which has pledged to send 1000 police. The Kenyan police
force is notorious for its corruption and brutality\, including the recen
t killing of over 30 people in a peaceful demonstration over increased fue
l prices. Soon\, this police force – along with other foreign troops – wil
l be murdering Haitians.
\n
The authorization comes despite overwhelm
ing opposition from multiple sectors of Haitian society\, who have demande
d instead the removal of the current regime of unelected and illegitimate
Prime Minister Ariel Henry and the installation of a broadly representativ
e transitional government. While the US characterizes this new interventio
n as an attempt to stop “gang violence\,” the real aim is to prop up the c
urrent dictatorship and to fend off the broad-based efforts within Haiti t
o oust it.
\n
This is why Henry\, the neoliberal puppet of the US and
the Core Group of foreign occupiers\, has called for foreign troops and w
hy Kenyan soldiers are preparing an invasion. Faced with collapsing infras
tructure\, the spectre of famine looming over half the population\, a new
cholera outbreak\, and a defunded health care system\, Haitians now fear t
hat the militarized national police and their armed proxies\, the paramili
tary “gangs” who have been terrorizing dissident communities\, will be but
tressed by more foreign tanks and troops\, to further oppress the civilian
population.
\n
We remember the democratically elected governments of
Jean-Bertrand Aristide and the Lavalas movement that were twice overthrow
n by US-supported coups d’etat. Had it not been for the coups\, “Today\, m
any of the beautiful dreams of the Haitian people would have already mater
ialized\,” a recent Fanmi Lavalas statement declared. “The anti-democratic
forces have produced a hell on earth: kidnapping\, insecurity\, misery\,
hunger\, corruption”—a failure that now requires a new occupying army to s
ustain it. \n \nTHIS IS WHY WE OPPOSE A NEW FOREIGN INVA
SION AND EXPRESS OUR OUTRAGE AT THE US GOVERNMENT’S POLICY

lessly to see the Oakland Youth Vote (OYV) a reality\, even when faced wit
h major obstacles that prevented them from voting last fall. Stand in soli
darity with Oakland youth leaders by showing up to the student candidate f
orum on October 12th. Dinner will be provided\, doors will open at 5pm. Pr
ogram begins at 5:30. Interpretation services will be available in Spanish

\n\n
\n
\nWe’ll also hear
from Californians whose lives have been directly affected by fossil fuels
\, and activists working to fend off Big Oil’s attempt to overturn
SB1137\, which the state legislature passed to ensure all oil an
d gas drilling is set back at least 3\,200 feet from homes\, schools\, hos
pitals\, nursing homes and more.\n
The clock is tick
ing on the climate crisis. Each of the past three years has been the hotte
st year on record\, and fossil fuel production is having horrible impacts
on people’s health in real time today.
\n
We need to move beyond foss
il fuels before we lose everything. Every day\, we witness the terrible ev
idence of our government’s failure to mount a resistance to fossil fuel co
rporations. Changing this will take all of us.
Heal
thcare NOW is excited to announce the official launch of Voices of U.S. He
althcare\, a project that we hope will strengthen our movement by
amplifying the voices of those most impacted by our healthcare system! Vo
ices of U.S. Healthcare is a national database of testimony from ordinary
folks — both patients and providers — about the human toll of injustice in
healthcare.
We’ll share some of the initial stories we’ve
collected\, talk about the database as an organizing tool\, and — most imp
ortantly — let you know how you can get involved by joining a national net
work of volunteers across the country collecting stories and engaging stor
ytellers in the fight for Medicare for All!

thcare crisis in this country.\n
We believe that telling our stories
is the best way of making our case to the public that we desperately need
a revolution in our healthcare system. If you have a story to tel
l that you would like to add to the database\, you can submit it here.
\n
Finally\, if this is a project you’d like to suppor
t\, please make a donation today! Gathering these stories and pr
esenting them in a way that’s accessible to audiences is a time-consuming\

HSH Community Meeting on Tiny Cabins at 1979 Mission
Street
\n
This month instead of having our monthly meeting
we want to flex our collective power. That is why we want to ask our club
members to show up and comment at the Department of Homelessness and Suppo
rtive Housing community meeting on proposed cabin community at 1979 Missio
n St. The purpose of the meeting is to inform the community about the prop
osal\, hear questions from community members\, and talk about ongoing oppo
rtunities for collaboration.
\n
If any community has felt the pain of
the housing crisis it is ours. We account for 40% of folks who are unhous
ed\, while only 16% of San Francisco’s population. Many of our families ar
e living in cramped conditions\, with two to three families in a one or tw
o-bedroom apartment. It is these disparities that we want to be alleviated
by well-proven solutions. Tiny homes and other
alternative housing opportunities have been built\, tested\, and shown to
be effective specifically for low-income folks in California. Is it a
perfect silver bullet? Nothing is\, but we must find ways to ensure the s
afety\, well-being\, and shelter of folks in our community\, and these tin
y homes are a necessary piece of the puzzle for our homelessness crisis.\n

This month we’
re doing a film about Haiti\, even as Gazah is a household word. The Hama
s-Palestine-Israel war came on a bit late to make that theme happen this m
onth\, but we’ll be visiting that issue soon. \n
\n
\n
We will delve deeper into Haiti
this month and try to learn more about the country that has suffered so mu
ch. This film directed by Kevin Pina takes us into the streets and gives
meaning to the title of the film with the police calling the demonstrators
“bandits”.
(This event will b
e an hybrid event with both virtual and at-the-church viewing.)

Our film\, Haiti: We Must
Kill the Bandits\, by filmmaker Kevin Pina\, is a riveting docu
mentary film on the foreign military intervention that\, in 2004\, overthr
ew the elected government of Jean-Bertand Aristide.
\n
The fil
m provides a rare account from the other side of the vast radicalized clas
s divide and is a must see for anyone trying to go beyond the worn-down cl
ichés and view points presented by the media in their coverage of the cris
is in Haiti.

Warning this film contains graphic images of h

\n
\n
On November 2nd\, for the

Assembly. Once again we will see that the whole world agrees on
the need to Let Cuba Live!

partheid Israel\, who are also responsible right now for the geno
cidal bombing campaign and blockade of life-sustaining goods and electrici
ty into Gaza.
\n
We join the people of the world who have been in the
streets these past several weeks in solidarity with the Palestinian freed
om struggle and say: End the Siege on Gaza! End all US aid to Israel!

San Francisco Joins I
nternational Day of Solidarity with Palestine!
\n<
p>On November 4th\, tens of thousands of people will converge in Washingto
n\, D.C. for a truly historic march to demand no more U.S. aid to Israel a
nd an end to the siege on Gaza now. Massive sister actions will take place
around the world\, and the Bay Area will be no exception! Join us in San
Francisco on November 4th to show that the Bay stands with Palestine!
\n
Continued international pressure is the only way to end the genocidal
Israeli siege on Gaza. Its residents continue to live cut off from food\,
water and electricity by Israel. The Gazan hospital system has completely
collapsed from lack of fuel sources.
\n
\n
\n
Join thousands of protesters from the Bay Area\, Los Angeles\,
San Diego\, Arizona\, and elsewhere as we gather this Saturday at 1pm at t
he San Francisco Civic Center as part of an International Day of Solidarit
y with Palestine! This West Coast action will take place as tens
of thousands of people converge in Washington D.C. for a truly historic na
tional march to demand no more U.S. aid to Israel and an immediate end to
the genocidal siege on Gaza. We are poised to see the largest U.S. anti-wa
r protests in this country in 20 years\, and the largest demonstrations in
support of Palestine in U.S. history.
\n
The Israeli government has announced a transition into the “second ph
ase” of their brutal campaign in Palestine. Just two days ago\, N
etanyahu delivered a speech\, emphasizing that he is waging “humanity’s wa
r against the barbarians” and committing to a prolonged offensive. Thousan
ds of Palestinians continue to be killed as Israel launches a ground invas
ion into Gaza and Netanyahu rejects all calls for a ceasefire.
\n
Bombs and missiles\, paid for with U.S. tax dollars\,
are targeting hospitals where thousands are sheltered\, bakeries\, and sc
hools. All telecommunications from Gaza were cut for nearly 40 hours\, mak
ing it more difficult than ever for the world to witness these atrocities.
Israeli violence in the West Bank is also mounting\, with settler attacks
and raids leaving several Palestinians dead or wounded.
\n
But the Palestinian resistance in Gaza lives on\, a
s does the global solidarity movement! San Francisco has already
seen massive numbers of protestors\, growing rapidly over the past weeks a
nd hitting up to 25\,000 people at last Saturday’s demonstration. Join us
on November 4th to make this the biggest demonstration yet.

DESCRIPTION:\n
October 2
7\, 2023\, Washington D.C. – Tens of thousands are set to converg
e in Washington DC on November 4 to participate in a mobilization
in support of Palestine and to protest Israel’s genocidal
attacks on Gaza. The mobilization is projected to be the largest
for Palestine in recent history and is being called for by a broad and ra
pidly growing coalition of Palestinian\, Arab American\, Muslim\, anti-war
\, and social justice organizations from across the U.S. The action will a
lso demand an end to U.S. funding to Israel\, which stand
s at $3.8 billion annually and now may be augmented by $14.3 billion in ad
ditional funding requested by Biden.
\n
The November 4 mobilization c
omes amid a historic upsurge of protests and rallies in cities and towns a
cross the United States in solidarity with Palestine. Despite this unprece
dented outcry by the American people\, officials have ignored calls for an
end to U.S. complicity in Israel’s violence and have thwarted internation
al efforts to end the violence.
\n
“We will make it clear that while
the Biden administration is bankrolling Israel’s genocide\, the people of
this country stand with Palestine!” said Celine Qussiny\, Palestinian Yout
h Movement\, “Huge protests have been taking place in cities and towns all
across the country. Now\, these local movements will unite in Washington\
, D.C. for the most massive action yet.”
\n
Layan Fuleihan\, the Educ
ation Director of The People’s Forum\, said that\, “We are joining people
of conscience from across the world who have taken to the streets to deman
d an end to Israel’s atrocities against the Palestinian people. We have se
en attempts from Germany to Florida to repress and silence this solidarity
\, but nothing can stop our commitment to fight for justice and stand with
the Palestinian people.”
\n
Hatem Abudayyeh\, National Chair of the
U.S. Palestinian Community Network said\, “The carnage from Israel’s war i
s unbelievable. Hundreds of civilians are being massacred every night. Bom
bs and missiles are raining down on hospitals\, schools and residential bu
ildings.” He added\, “Shamefully\, Biden signs the checks that pays for th
ese weapons that are being used to commit a genocide. Our march on Novembe
r 4 will demand an immediate end to all U.S. funding to Israel\, and an en
d to U.S. legislators’ disgusting rhetoric in condemnation of our people\,
which has led to incitement to violence\, including the murder of a beaut
iful six-year-old Palestinian boy in Illinois and physical attacks by zion
ists on our pro-Palestine protests in Seattle\, Los Angeles\, Minneapolis\
, New York\, and Skokie\, a suburb of Chicago.”
\n
“What we are seein
g is prosecutable participation by US Federal and local officials and by m
edia in their aiding and abetting of genocide in Palestine and their incit
ement to racist violence in the US\,” said Lamis Deek\, a NY representativ
e of Awda-National\, adding “we are pursuing all legal avenues to bring an
end to\, and accountability for\, these crimes.”
\n
A representative
of the National Students for Justice in Palestine explained that\, “We ar
e gathering to support the Palestinian people in their struggle to be free
from colonialism and apartheid. This did not start on October 7 – for 75
years Palestinians have been subjected to mass killings\, forced displacem
ent\, and military rule by Israel. This is the fundamental injustice that
must end.”

Join CODEPINK Congress as we uplift the voi
ces of Palestinian resistance and expose those who seek to censor them. Wh
ile the Israel lobby–AIPAC\, the ADL\, Democratic Majority for Israel– has
long campaigned to vilify advocates for Palestinian human rights\, attemp
ts to censor\, punish and cancel pro-Palestinian voices has taken on a new
chilling dimension.
\n
Chat with peacemakers and experts Tue
sday\, November 7 at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET:
Since October 7th\, Germany and France have issued orders pro
hibiting pro-Palestinian protests\, US corporate media have fired reporter
s\, and universities have sent professors packing and denounced college st
udents demanding an end to Israel’s collective punishment in Gaza.
\n
In the Middle East and North America\, mental health clinicians are also
being targeted for challenging the Israeli occupation and genocide–with Pa
lestibnian clinicians in Israel prohibited from using “Palestinian” in the
ir organization’s names and communications.
\n
Censorship intensifies
as the US Senate unanimously passes a resolution “condemning Hamas and an
tisemitic student activities on college campuses” and backers of Israel’s
occupation dox supporters of Palestine.
\n
The voices for liberation\
, however\, will not be silenced or censored.

Tara Dorabji\, a CODEPINK community member from No
rthern CA\, along with her children Kali and Ixchel\, is leading the Education Not Occupation campaign. This initiative aims to uph
old human rights in Palestine and disrupt oppressive systems and cycles of
violence in schools\, communities\, and the world. Tara’s letter writing
campaign urges school districts to diversify curriculum\, protect student
freedom of speech\, condemn hate speech\, support young people affected by
the conflict\, and assist teachers in addressing the human rights atrocit
ies in Palestine.
\n
People across the world are rising up in solidar
ity with Palestinians to protest the genocide in Gaza. The most powerful v
oice in the world is the collective voice of mothers. Right now\,
a missing peace is the powerful and nurturing voices of mothers and commun
ity members standing together.
\n
In history\, when mothers
stood together and supported each other\, amazing things have happened. A
uthor E.M Forster famously said\, “I am sure that if the mothers of variou
s nations could meet\, there would be no more wars.”
\n
Palestinian m

Joe Biden is throwing an exclu
sive party at the Exploratorium @ Pier 15 in San Francisco on Wednesday ev
ening as part of the APEC event.
\n
Biden has said that there is “no
possibility” that he will support a ceasefire in light of the unrelenting
bombing\, starvation\, and genocide on the civil population of Gaza. Desp
ite polls showing that 66% of voters and 80% of Democrats in support of ce
asefire\, despite pundits saying that he is losing the youth vote\, with h
is approval rating among Arab Americans having plummeted to 17%\, Biden st
ubbornly refuses to listen to the world’s calls for ceasefire.
\n
Let’s give voice to our anguish. Join us to tell Biden “CEASEFIRE NOW
!”
\n
Bring a white sheet for our die-in. We will have “Geno
cide Joe” and “Ceasefire” posters to hold.

\n
Gaza Fights for Fr
eedom by filmmakers\, Abby Martin and Mike Prysner\, is a power
ful and extremely important film about the struggle of the Palestinian peo
ple to be free from occupation and brutalization inflicted by the Israeli
state. The film depicts the story of Gaza past and present\, showing rare
archival footage that explains the history never acknowledged by mass med
ia and is a visual introduction to Palestinian genocide by the state of Is
rael.
\n
At its core Gaza Fights for Freedom is a thoro
ugh indictment of the Israeli military for war crimes and a stunning cinem
atic portrayal of Palestinians resistance.
\n
After the scree
ning there will be a discussion and Q&A led by members of PSL.

Jodie Evans: as CODEPINK co-founder J
odie is no stranger to organizing to end war. During the opposition to the
Iraq War\, CODEPINK and allies were forced to use every tool in the toolb
ook to try to end the illegal and deadly invasion of Iraq. One of those st
rategies was organizing around war tax resistance. While boycotts are high
ly effective\, they are not the only way to use our economic power to be h
eard!

CODEPINK to Rally Outside Rep. Pelosi’s Home For an Immediate Ceasefire
and an End to U.S. Support for Netanyahu’s Actions in Gaza
\n
SAN FRANCISCO\, CA – The Bay Area chapter of CODEPINK
will hold a rally on Sunday morning at the residence of Representative Nan
cy Pelosi. The demonstration aims to urge both Pelosi and President Biden
to support an immediate permanent ceasefire\, to cease financial backing f
or Prime Minister Netanyahu’s military campaign in Gaza\, and put an end t
o settler violence and Israeli military incursions in the West Bank.
\n
As the call for a ceasefire gains momentum\, with 48 members of Congres
s already expressing their support\, it is crucial for Representative Pelo
si\, a California leader and former Speaker of the House\, to heed the voi
ces of her constituents and stand in solidarity with her colleagues advoca
ting for peace.
\n
Event Details:
\n
Da
te: Sunday\, December 3\, 2023
\n
Time: 9:0
0 am – 12:00 pm
\n
Location: 2640 Broadway\, San Fra
ncisco (Pacific Heights)
\n
The rally will feature compelling visuals
\, including a symbolic die-in\, picket line\, banners\, singing\, childre
n’s activities. Pelosi’s San Francisco constituents will speak\, a rare op
portunity given Pelosi’s inaccessibility (Pelosi’s office is closed to the
public\; no one answers the phone).
\n
Event organizer Cynthia Paper
master said they are asking Representative Pelosi to “stand with the major
ity of Americans and publicly call for a full and lasting ceasefire. Polls
show that 66% of Americans (and 80% of Democrats!) support a ceasefire in
Gaza. And it’s hard to ignore the estimated 50\,000 people who marched in
San Francisco calling for an immediate ceasefire on November 4th.”
\n<
p>“U.S. financing of the Netanyahu right-wing government’s destruction of
Gaza means that the blood of thousands of innocent children is on our hand
s. The U.S. is the biggest funder of Israel’s military\, providing it with
$3.8 billion every year. Our government must not be complicit in genocid
e and other war crimes. Congress enabling huge profits for the U.S. war in
dustry is wrong. There is no military solution to this conflict. The U.S.
should support diplomacy\, not revenge\,” she continued.\n
Papermast
er also wants the public and members of the press to understand that\, “op
position to the Netanyahu regime’s Gaza siege is not anti-semitism or supp
ort for Hamas.” On the contrary\, true Jewish values do not condone killin
g innocent civilians.

Under the UN Convention for the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide and
Article 6 of the Rome Statute\, the crime of genocide oc
curs when a nation deliberately inflicts on the group “conditions of life
calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part.”\n
Under these terms\, Israel commits US-funded genocide in Gaza when
it bombs civilian targets-hospitals\, schools\, UN refugee centers\, journ
alists\, UN workers\, mosques\, apartments and escape routes– while denyin
g an imprisoned population water\, food\, medicine and fuel. Since October
7th\, Israel’s assault with US weapons has resulted in tens of thousands
of Gazans killed or wounded and 1.7 million people displaced\, including a
lmost a million in 154 UNRWA shelters\, some of which Israel has bombed. I
n the words of UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres\, “Gaza has b
ecome a graveyard for children.”

Activists To Rally at Lockheed Martin Office in San Francisco\, Urging a
n End to Weapon Production for Israeli Military
\n
San Francisco\, CA – In solidarity with the International Shut I
t Down for Palestine Day of Action on December 8\, activists will gather a
t the Lockheed Martin office located at 275 Battery Street\, San Francisco
\, from noon to 1:30 pm. The demonstrators will demand an immediate cessat

litary’s actions in Gaza.
\n
Amidst the call for the United
States to broker a permanent ceasefire and redirect its resources\, prote
sters are urging Lockheed Martin to cease the production of weapons contri
buting the Israeli military’s genocide in Gaza. The activists propose that
the funds currently allocated for military purposes\, approximately $14 b
illion\, should instead be directed towards aiding Palestinians and suppor
ting domestic initiatives such as housing\, clean energy\, health care\, a
nd education.
\n
The planned action will encompass a picket
line\, a teach-in on “How is the genocide in Gaza supported by Lockheed M
artin?”\, street theater\, sidewalk chalking and symbolic bloody red handp
rints\, and the delivery of a Merchants of Death War Crimes Tribunal Subpo
ena and contempt citation to Lockheed Martin.
\n
Cynthia Pa
permaster\, an organizer from CODEPINK\, emphasized the importance of hold
ing Lockheed Martin accountable. She stated\, “Lockheed Martin is being tr

DESCRIPTION:\n
Google is profiting off of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians!
\n
This has been named the first AI-powered genocide. Google’s “Proj
ect Nimbus” is a 1.2 Billion dollar contract that provides powerful AI too
ls to Israel\, making Google directly complicit in this genocide.
\n
As the brutal military siege on Gaza has escalated and taken tens of thous
ands of Palestinian lives\, Google has ramped up internal pressure within
the company to silence the voices of workers of conscience demanding an en
d to Project Nimbus.
\n
We join thousands of tech workers and communi
ty members in calling for an immediate end to all of Googles contracts wit
h Israel. Now is the time to keep up the pressure and hold our corporation
s responsible. Palestine will be free!

DESCRIPTION:
We’ve missed you. With no ele
ction this year we’ve been doing other things: developing strange new hobb
ies\, raising offspring\, recovering from those hobbies and offspring\, an
d more!
\n
Now it’s time to set all that aside. There’s an electi
on March 5th\, 2024\, which means we’re
already researching the items on the ballot and we’ll be gathering soon fo
r an Endorsement Meeting. You’re invited!
\n
WHE
N: Tuesday\, December 19th at 6:30pm \nWHERE: The Secret Alley – 180
Capp St\, 2nd floor\, dial #530 at the callbox
\n
ACCESSIBILITY:
ADA Accessible\, proof of vaccination and masks required
\n
SNACK
IES: Provided 😀
\n
Because of limited capacity at The Secret Alle
y we are prioritizing current League members. If you’re certain you’ll att
end\, RSVP by responding to this email. Similarly\, if you’d like to Zoom
in\, let us know.
\n
If you’ve never come to one of these before\
, the process is: we have some food\, scribble our thoughts on butcher pap
er on the walls\, talk through what’s on the ballot\, and then vote on our
endorsements. Everyone is welcome to come and participate in the conversa
tion\, but only League members can vote at the end. Candidates and paid st
affers can join us\, but can’t stay in the room when we discuss their race
: that keeps the meetings honest and interesting instead of a platform for
candidates to speechify.
\n
Not sure if you’re a League member?<
/div>\n
\n
If you’ve donated and volunteered in the last year\, then
you are!
\n<
li>If you haven’t volunteered\, there’s still time to jump in and
research stuff on the March ballot. Reply to this email and we’ll
fold you in by buddying you up with an experienced Leaguer.\n
If
you’re not sure of your status\, email us and we’ll let you know.
\n\n
Next November’s election is gonna be an absolute unit\, so it ma
kes sense to become a member now so you can vote in both this Endorsement
Meeting and next fall’s (more info on the process is here). Feel fre
e to reply with any questions\, and we’ll see you soon 🙂

In January 2022\, the owners of the Castro Theatre — a space consider
ed sacred by San Francisco’s LGBTQ communities and film lovers — leased th
e movie palace to a corporate concert promoter not known for queer or film
programming. This panel tells the story of the City’s refusal to save the
San Francisco landmark — and opens a discussion of how we can protect que
er historic sites and cultural heritage in the future. Speakers include re
presentatives from the Castro LGBTQ Cultural District\, Castro Theatre Con
servancy\, and Friends of the Castro Theatre Coalition.

PORT SHUTDOWN FOR PALESTINE \nJanu

\n
Stay tuned for m
ore! Text Gaza to 833-633-0604 for details and updates! \nTh
is past October\, a US military vessel left the port of Oak
land with weapons\, infrastructure and technology that were used again
st the people of Gaza by the Israeli military. This ship is on its way bac
k to Oakland. Stand with people and workers of conscience across the world
and join us Saturday to send a clear message: Oakland\, the Bay Area and
the majority of people across the country demand that the US government st
op arming Israel!
\n
Join us as we kick off APTP’s wee
k of action commemorating the militant legacy of Dr. Martin Luther Kin
g\, Jr. Join us to say no to the war machine in Gaza\, and no to the war m
achine right here in Oakland.
Join Our Revolution for this year’s Reducing the Threa
t of Nuclear War Conference — one of the nation’s most significan
t gatherings of Nuclear Disarmament advocates\, led by Massachusetts Peace
Action.
\n
Guest speakers will include U.S. Rep. Ro Khanna\, OR Board Chair Larry Cohen\, Shailly Gu
pta Barnes of the Poor Peoples Campaign\, Prof. Alan Robo
ck of Rutgers University\, Dr. Ira Helfand of th
e Back from the Brink Campaign\, and many other leading peace advocates.\n
We are in a period of unusual danger and difficulty: The Russia/Ukr
aine conflict has sharply increased the danger of nuclear war\; The tragic
Israel/Gaza Conflict threatens to expand\; The Pentagon budget is higher
than ever and still going up\; Cold Warriors in high places are beating th
e drums of war toward Russia and China\; And\, within the US right wing fo
rces are working to weaken voting rights and representative democracy.
This is a heartfelt call to action. On Saturday
\, January 13th\, we stand together in Washington\, DC\, marching for just
ice\, for peace\, and for the rights of our Palestinian brothers\, sisters
\, and siblings in Gaza. They are enduring a brutal\, genocidal assault –
an affront to their human dignity marked by ethnic cleansing and oppressiv
e apartheid-like conditions.
\n
\n\n
\n
\n\n
\n
\n
\n\n\n
\n\n
\n
I urge you\, regardl
ess of your color\, gender\, national identity\, or sexual orientation\, t
o join us. This is a call to all persons of moral conscience. We m
ust gather in unity to exert pressure on the Biden administration\, challe
nging their immoral complicity in the genocide against Palestinians in Gaz
a.\n
Our voices will resound in unison\, calling for an imm
ediate and permanent ceasefire. We demand an end to U.S. complicity in the
se atrocities. It’s time to echo and commend the courageous stance taken b
y South Africa in invoking the Genocide Convention. We call upon other nat
ions to stand with us\, to support this call for justice and human dignity
.
\n
\n\n
\n
\n\n
\n
\n
\n\n
\n
\n\n
\n
This march is a historic moment of solidarity – bearing
witness to our collective resolve to fight against injustice wherever it r
ears its ugly head. Let us come together to show that our commitment to hu
man rights knows no bounds.\n
I look forward to standing shoulder to
shoulder with you in Washington\, DC. Together\, we can make a difference
. Together\, we can be the change.
\n
In Solidarity and Hope\,

As we write this email\, South Africa is pr
esenting its case for genocide committed by Israel. The significance of So
uth Africa being the state who invoked the genocide convention is worth no
ting. The people of South Africa know all too well what the horrors of apa
rtheid and genocide look like in real life. By filing their case against I
srael in the International Court of Justice\, they have c
onnected the African struggle for liberation to the Palestinian struggle in the most tangible way possible. This is how we win.

Connecting Struggles: T
he Importance of Intersectional Organizing for Gaza
This week we will be joined by Alexis Judeh\, a
Palestinian and Mexican organizer who graduated from DePaul with a degree
in Political Science. She has been organizing around Palestine and adjacen
t liberation movements for the past 8 years and will discuss with us the i
mportance of connecting movement struggles for liberation. In 2014\, the s
truggle for liberation for the Black community in the United States and Pa
lestinians under attack from Israel found such connection. Today\,
that solidarity remains strong and has been a critical part of the recent
movement to end the genocide in Gaza.

As the International Court of Justice c
onsiders South Africa’s case against Israeli genocide\, <
strong>CODEPINK explores the legal and political implications of
putting Israel on trial for genocide. Our guests will debrief recent World
Court hearings on South Africa’s case\, discuss statements from other cou
ntries–Bolivia\, Venezuela\, Cuba\, Jordan\, Malaysia–in support of South
Africa’s case and explore the impact on the Biden administration should th
e court rule that Israel is guilty of genocide.
\n
Join us as interna
tional law expert Marjorie Cohn returns to CODEPI
NK Congress\, this time with scholar Adrienne Pine who is organizing global support for countries to submit a Declaration
of Intervention (similar to a friend of the court brief) in support of Sou
th Africa at the World Court. To date\, over 1\,000 organizations from far
corners of the globe have signed an open letter in support of South Afric
a’s case charging Israel with genocide.
\n
Chat with peacemakers and
experts Tuesday\, January 16 at 5 pm PT/8 pm ET:
Under the UN Convention for the P
revention and Punishment of Genocide and Article 6 of the
Rome Statute\, the crime of genocide occurs when a nation delibe
rately inflicts on the group “conditions of life calculated to bring about
its physical destruction in whole or in part.”
\n
Under these terms\
, Israel commits US-funded genocide in Gaza when it bombs civilian targets
-hospitals\, schools\, UN refugee centers\, journalists\, UN workers\, mos
ques\, apartments and escape routes– while denying an imprisoned populatio
n water\, food\, medicine and fuel. Since October 7th\, Israel’s assault w
ith US weapons has resulted in over 23\,000 Gazans killed\, over 53\,000 w
ounded and nearly two million people displaced as Israel\, with US subsidi
es\, turns Gaza into a graveyard for children.

<
i>King in the Wilderness a documentary by Peter Kunhardt goes beyond t
he myths and supposedly facts and presents a refreshingly frank and sober
insight into the last years of Martin Luther King.
\n
The fi
lm reveals a conflicted leader who after the Voting Rights Act passed in 1
965 faced an onslaught of criticism from both politicians\, close associat
es and even the
\n
President of the United States.\n
On a review f
rom Variety magazine King in the Wilderness is assessed as a searin
g film because it takes Rev. King down from the mountaintop “You glimpse t
he real glory of who he was\, not a walking monument but a human being wit
h fear\, humor\, guts and (amazing) grace under pressure”.
\n
After the screening ther
e will be a discussion and Q&A.

was deemed a “threat to Israeli national security” in an attempt to squash
the resistance. This documentary is 1 hour and 15 minutes long\, so prepa

Medea Benjamin is
the co-founder of CODEPINK and organizer of Capitol Hill antiwar advocacy.
For the past few months\, Medea and a group of 20-40 peace activists have
gone from one congressional office to the next advocating for a ceasefire
and lifting of the siege on Gaza and no more weapons for israel. Benjamin
will share her insights on what she heard from members of Congress on how
we can break through the bubble of disinformation and big money that enve
lopes them.

Moataz Salim is a Palestinian-America
n residing in Washington D.C.\, who is currently completing his doctoral s
tudies in clinical psychology. Moataz’s father grew up in the Shujaiya ref
ugee camp in the north of Gaza. Currently\, the vast majority of Salim’s f
amily on his father’s side\, cousins\, aunts\, and uncles\, are living in
Gaza\, where they have been displaced on several occasions. Tragically\,
the relentless onslaught against Gaza has claimed the lives of many of Sal
im’s family members. Motaz has joined CODEDPINK’s Capitol Hill delegation
to tell lawmakers\, “This genocide must stop.”
\n
Ray McGover
n was a CIA analyst of Russia’s relations with the US\, China\, &
Europe\, who briefed Presidential Lyndon Johnson on a daily basis. A foun
der of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity\, McGovern has writte
n extensively about both Ukraine and Gaza\, asserting that Israel used the
October 7 attack as a pretext for the preexisting master plan to get rid
of the Palestinians whose presence blocks the establishment of Greater Isr
ael with sovereign control over the West Bank and at least portions of Gaz
a. Fearing that media brainwashing is deceiving people into seeing war wit
h Russia and slaughter in Gaza as necessary\, Ray and VIPS rely on facts t
o expose the lying.

Kymone Freeman is an awa
rd winning playwright\, co-founder of We Act Radio\, and DC Statehood Gree
n Party candidate for the District of Columbia’s delegate seat in the US H
ouse of Representatives.\n
As the parties of war and Wall St
reet fall in line behind historically unpopular candidates\, a re
cord 63% of US voters say that the two-party system has failed and they wa
nt a new party that serves the people. In this unprecedented moment\, Jill
Stein is preparing to launch a cross-country tour to meet with voters who
’ve been left behind by the corrupt political establishment.
\n
Join Jill and Kymone to help launch Jill’s campaign road trip
and hear about how her campaign is offering a real choice to voters who wa
nt an end to endless war and genocide\, an economy that works for working
people\, and a livable future for our children.

DESCRIPTION:
As the US continues to fund genocide in Gaza and carnage in Ukraine\, those of us demanding a radica
l shift in our foreign policy face a corporate media that manufactures con
sent for endless war.
\n
How do we break through the propagan
da?
\n
How do we reframe our arguments to bring more
people over to the side of peace with justice?
\n
Join CODEPINK Congress for a discussion of how activists and organ
izations can be more effective in media messaging to stop state-sponsored
violence\, advance ceasefires in Gaza and Ukraine and demilitarize our soc
iety. Review terms to avoid\, like “defense budget” or “precision bomb” an
d choose words that are accurate like war budget and missile attack. Words matter!
\n
Chat with peacemakers and experts
\nTuesday\, March 12 at 5pm PT / 8 pm ET:
Norman Solomon is the executive director of the I
nstitute for Public Accuracy\, the author of War Made Invisible: How America Hides the Human Toll of
Its Military Machine\, and a cofounder of RootsAction.org.
The world is awake
to the heinous crimes of the U.S. Government and the Biden administration
’s complicity in the genocide of Palestinians. There is no turning back th
e past 130+ days of the U.S.-backed bombing of Palestinian homes\, univers
ities\, and hospitals by Israel. These attacks have killed more than 30\,0
00 Palestinians\, more than 8\,000 are children.
\n
As Biden
prepares for the State of the Union address on March 7th\, we call on all
people of conscience to come to D.C. to participate in the People’s State
of the Union where we’ll make it clear to Biden that the majority of the U
.S. population demands a permanent ceasefire\, no more money to Israel\, a
nd the funding of peoples’ and planet’s needs – not war and militarism.
\n
This moment requires critical action from all of us to keep
up the pressure and force action from the government that claims to repre
sent our interests. Whether you are a parent\, teacher\, nurse\, student\,
union member — we need you. Bring your communities and lend your voice to
our collective demand for a ceasefire now.
\n
CEASEFIRE NOW! NO MORE MONEY TO ISRAEL!
\n\n
CAN YOU MAKE IT ON MARCH 7?
\n
What are the most u
rgent concerns your family or community is facing that would benefit from
billions of dollars that Congress has committed instead to weapons\, war\,
and genocide? How should our democracy be working in a moment like this t
o ensure our collective safety and well-being\, for Palestinians and for a
ll of us? What’s the message your community wants to send to the Biden adm
inistration about his complicity in genocide?
\n
On March 7th\, you c
an expect to participate in a mass rally and action in Washington\, D.C. t
o raise the visibility of the will and interests of the majority of the Am
erican public. Biden’s state of the union cannot proceed as business as us
ual.

The documentary Ida B. Wells: A Chicago StoriesSpecia

ive journalist\, racial justice and equity activist\, and suffragist\, Ida
B. Wells\, to life.
\n
Born a slave but emancipated during the Civil War\, Ida B. W
ells works as an activist began in Chicago during a visit to the Chicago W
orld’s Fair in 1893 where she protested the exclusion of Afro-Americans fr
om the event.
\n
Returning to her home in Memphis she became co-owner and editor of th
e Free Speech and Headlight newspaper\, she wrote scathing editorials on s
egregation\, inequality\, and lynchings in Jim Crow South becoming the fir
st person to single handedly attack this issue. Burned out of Memphis\, I
da B. Wells fled to Chicago where she continued her activism work and adde
d suffragist and refugee work to her duties.
\n
The film places Well’s life and legacy
squarely in the context of today’s world illustrating how the battles tha
t Wells fought in her lifetime are on-going and how today’s activist conti
nue to draw inspiration from her work. After the screening there w
ill be a discussion and Q&A.

With CalCare (AB 2200) reintroduced in the California State
Assembly\, we’re organizing to build the momentum needed to get it passed
into law this year.
\n
Late last week\, we got word that CalC
are was officially referred to the Assembly Health Committee\, which means
it’s being assigned to get a hearing and vote by April 26th! Thi
s is a big step\, but we need to continue building public support to keep
it moving forward — especially as the corporate health care industry works
to stop it.
\n
We’re organizing canvass events across the state to t
alk directly with community members about what CalCare is and why we need
to pass it to fix our broken health care system and establish guaranteed h
ealth care for every Californian.
\n
Will you RSVP today for
one of our upcoming volunteer-led CalCare canvasses?

Mile Marker Six: Thursday\, April 4\, 7–8 PM.<
/span> California Grassroots Alliance will host guest speakers fr
om the six districts they’re working on winning in order to take back the
House. Hear about how the primary election went from the people who worked
on it—and their plans for how we’ll win in October. RSVP here.
Today we’re officially three weeks away from CalCare
’s first hearing in the California State Assembly Health Committee.
\n
This is our first major hurdle to move the bill forward\, so we
need to build public support for it ASAP — especially as the corporate\,
for-profit health care industry works to stop it from passing.
\n
\n
The best way you can help build momentum for
this bill is by talking directly to your neighbors and community members i
n 1-on-1 conversations. We’re holding canvass events across the state to d
o just that\, but we need more people like you to join us and identify mor
e supporters!
\n
Will you RSVP today for one of our volunteer
-led CalCare canvasses? We’ll provide you with all of the information and
materials you need!

ampus –
In the wake of Israel killing seven Iranian diplomats at Ira
n’s embassy in Syria\, the danger of a regional war intensifies in the Mid
dle East\, where Israel has turned Gaza into a graveyard and famine looms.
The National Security Council says the US–the largest arms supplier to Is
rael– was not involved in Israel’s attack on the Iranian embassy April 1\,
2024\, but The Intercept reports Iran has issued a private warning to the
Biden administration.
\n
If the US defends Israel against a retaliat
ory Iranian strike\, the US–with 30\,000 troops stationed in Iraq\, Syria
and Jordan– could become a target. Meanwhile\, a dozen Republican lawmaker
s are circulating a letter accusing President Biden of embracing a strateg
y of appeasement with Iran.
\n
Where are we headed? How can we avert
a wider regional war?

Join CODEPINK Congress as w
e discuss the dangers of the US-Israel alliance and the imperative to aver
t a war with Iran and end US complicity in genocide.

Pi
anist James Washington performs a set of jazz standards and improvisations
for a special Concert at the C
adillac\, presented in collaboration with the Tenderl
oin Museum as a Sounds of the T
enderloin live music program.
\n
Sounds
of the Tenderloin & the Concerts at the Cadillac series come together aga
in to produce a performance by James Washington\, a talented pianist who w
ields a quiet virtuosity with both standards and improvisations. A lifelon
g musician\, Washington started working at a young age as a ballet accompa
nist in New Jersey\, Boston\, New York\, and eventually San Francisco. All
the while\, he was adjacent to the world of jazz\, which increasingly inf
ormed his musical practice. He developed a playing style with a rich harmo
nic vocabulary and complex structure that is clear and soulful. His phrasi
ngs and touch are limber\, as if learned from a dancer. Over the years\, W
ashington has been heard by thousands in San Francisco in clubs\, cafes\,
churches\, and hospitals both as a solo performer and in combos. A longtim
e Tenderloin resident\, Washington will share a set of solo music on the g
rand piano in the heart of the neighborhood–the lobby of the historic Cadi
llac Hotel.
\n
Funding for this Sounds of the Tenderloin live music p
rogram is provided by Specified General Fund for the Museum Grant Program
under the California Cultural and Historical Endowment.

T
omorrow Oakland City Council will vote on a resolution Honoring the Life o
f Alan Dwayne Blueford\, who was murdered by Oakland Police Department 12
years ago today on May 6\, 2012 at the age of only 18-years-old. His mothe
r\, and our sister in struggle\, Jeralynn Blueford\, is calling on us to s
how up in support.
\n
We are asking you to show up tomorrow\, Tues
day\, May 7 at city hall to help this family\, forever-impacted by OPD’s t
error\, continue to fight for Alan and his legacy. \n \nW
HAT: Support Oakland Resolution Honoring the Life of Alan Dwayne Bluef
ord \nWHEN: Tuesday\, May 7 at 3:30 pm \nWHERE: In
person at City Hall (1 Frank H. Ogawa Plaza\, 3rd Floor\, Oakland\, CA 94
612) or onli
ne on Zoom
\n
\n
All public speakers must submit a spe
aker card before the meeting. Members of the public must (1) Visit the
City Of Oakland meeting calendar webpage (2) Click the
hyperlink labeled ‘eComment’ in the far right column of the meeting yo
u wish to participate\, (You will be redirected to the specific meeting we
bpage)\; and (3) Register to ‘Sign In To Speak’ for agenda item 5.8\n
On May 6\, 2012\, then Oakland Police De
partment Officer Miguel Masso — a transplant from New York with a histor
y of violence — rollled up in the nighttime hours\, in an unmarked car wit
h his lights off\, on three young African-American men in deep East Oaklan
d. Alan Blueford\, a high school student with a 3.0 GPA\, and two friends
were walking to the corner store to grab a few snacks while they waited fo
r their ride home. Officer Miguel Masso jumped out of the car\, never aski
ng for names or identification. He immediately threw one of the boys down
on the curb.
\n
Terrified\, the teenagers asked\, “What did we do?* M
asso grabbed a second youth by the shoulder\, pushing him forcefully again
st the fence and twisted his arm behind his back. Masso kept shouting and
roughing them up. None of the children were placed under arrest or read th
eir rights.
\n
Alan started to walk away. Masso vigorously ran tow
ard him. Alan ran\, Masso gave chase. According to witness statements\, Al
an was yelling at the top of his lungs\, “I didn’t do anything!” At
this point\, Masso turned off his lapel camera\, chased Alan for five blo
cks\, and shot him in the chest three times\, as he lay on his back in the
driveway of a residential home.
\n
Masso would later claim to bo
th the police and the press that Alan had shot him in the foot to explain
the wound he was discovered to have. This claim proved to be false. A poli
ce investigation revealed that Masso had in fact shot himself. However\, t
hat initial lie interrupted what would have been swift and immediate outra
ge from the Oakland community. As a result\, Jeralynn and her husband (Ala
n Sr.)\, would spend the next few years not only demanding justice for the
ir son\, but also trying to clear his soiled name. Meanwhile OPD and its a
ssociation did everything it could to defend MAsso and cover up the eviden
ce of his vile transgression.
\n
Despite this litany of egregious beh
avior and attempts at cover up – the Blueford family was awarded one of th
e smallest settlements in the history of Oakland for the murder and slande
r of their son. But they have never stopped fighting. \n
\nFighting for Alan and for any family that finds themselves in this exclu
sive club no one wants to join.
\n
We are asking you to show up to
morrow and help them continue to fight for Alan\, his legacy and all those
impacted by the violence of the Oakland Police Department and the State.
Fight for those who have not yet been impacted but one day may conside
r it luck to be a “survivor�\, like myself. Fight so that this never h
appens again. Fight for all of our sakes and in the many names of too many
ancestors slain by law enforcement in America. \nJoin us tomorrow to
scream “Justice for Alan Blueford�! Let’s get this day passed for A
lan\, his family and all of us.
\n
In service and solidarity\,

J-Street Unmasked – \nThe
End of Liberal Zionism! \nJoin us for a discussion of the e
nd of liberal Zionism and the ascendant movement of anti-Zionist Jews dema
nding decolonization.\n
Chat with peacemakers and experts on Zoom:\nTuesday\, June 4 at 5PM PT / 8PM ET
Ever si
nce J-Street’s founding in 2007\, the organization has pr
omoted itself as the liberal alternative to the American Israel Pu
blic Affairs Committee (AIPAC). For left-leaning politicians fear
ful of AIPAC’s wrath\, aligning with J-Street provided insulation from Zio
nist primary election challenges\; lawmakers could be mildly critical of I
srael’s treatment of the Palestinians\, yet still profess allegiance to th
e State of Israel as a Jewish ethno-state even if it came at the expense o
f millions of Palestinians.
\n
Not so anymore\, not
with Israel’s genocide in Gaza\, its deliberate targeting of civilians liv
e-streamed on our cell phones.
\n
The mask is off as we witness a con
tinuation of the Nakba (catastrophe) or ethnic cleansing
of Palestine that began in 1947-48 when Zionist militias destroyed over 500 Palestinian villages and expelled 750\,000 Palestinians from their homes to make way for the State of Israel.
\n
Join us for a discussion of the end of liberal Zionism and the ascen
dant movement of anti-Zionist Jews demanding decolonization.

June 8 marks e
ight months of US-Israeli genocide of the Palestinian people\, and marks t
he 54th anniversary of the occupation of Gaza.
\n
A month ago\, Biden
said that the invasion of Rafah was a red line. But now\, the invasion of
Rafah has continued for weeks\, has expanded to the entire Gaza Strip\, B
iden’s red line is nowhere to be seen. Instead of following through and st
opping military aid to Israel\, Biden has authorized billions more in weap
ons shipments to be used to kill and massacre Palestinians.
\n
Biden
can’t draw the line\, but we can. On June 8\, we will come together from a
cross the country and surround the White House. Wearing red\, and raising
our demands high\, we will show the world that we are the red line. We dem
and an immediate ceasefire\, an immediate end to the siege on Gaza\, the f
reedom of all Palestinian prisoners\, and an end to the occupation of Pale
stine.

the power of the local peace economy at the student encampments — all the
mutual aid\, skillsharing\, art spaces\, medical tents\, and the many othe

ills rooted in ways of being fostered in the local peace economy. Come lea

After two scheduled
debates crashed and burned\, we’ve finally got a true mayoral debate with
all five major candidates on the same stage\, scheduled for June 17 at UC
Law San Francisco.
\n
There should have already been two debates in
this year’s San Francisco mayor’s race\, but there have been zero.
\n
The first had been scheduled for May 20\, and was to be hosted by the pol
itical action committee Together SF Action\, who brought you those bizarro
“That’s Fent
alife!” ads. But there’s so much overlap between Together SF Action and the Mark Farrell campaign t
hat both Mayor London Breed and mayoral candidate Aaron Peskin ditched tha
t debate to have their own competing debate the same night. Amidst
all the accusations and chaos\, both debates were canceled.
\n
\n\n
\n
Well\, w
e are finally getting a real debate with all five candidates on the same s
tage. The San Francisco Democratic Party announced Friday that they’ve scheduled a mayoral debate f
or Monday\, June 17 at 7:30 pm. The debate will be held at the UC Law San
Francisco building\, and will have all five major candidates: Breed\, Pesk
in\, Farrell\, plus Supervisor Ahsha Safai and Daniel Lurie.
You figure a debate hosted by
the San Francisco Democratic Party would present a level playing field tha
t a Together SF Action debate could not provide. But under the party’s new
moderate-controlled governing board\, could the fix
be in against the progressive candidates (i.e. Peskin)? One member of tha
t DCCC governi
ng board is literally Mark Farrell’s campaign manager\, Jade Tu. And a
ccording to the Bay Area Reporter\, six other members of that board have <
a href='https://www.ebar.com/story.php?ch=news&id=332212'>already endorsed
London Breed.
\n
The SF Democratic Party seems determined to avo
id the appearance of any bias\, and formed a Mayoral Debate Committee to s
tructure the thing as fairly as possible.
\n
“The Debate Committee es
tablished the criteria and rules to govern the debate\, which will be 90 m
inutes in length and include individual statements from candidates in addi
tion to questions posed by the debate moderator on various issues of impor
tance to San Francisco voters\,” they said in a press release. “Each parti
cipating campaign will be allowed to submit up to five questions for consi
deration by the Debate Committee for inclusion in the debate.”

Thank you to all those w
ho joined us for the Local Peace Economy meeting last night!
\n
We we
re so grateful to be able to hear from so many of you about what brought y
ou to be curious about the local peace economy and to explore pivoting fro
m individualism to self-responsibility with you. As we discussed during th
e call\, self-responsibility is how we find our way back to oursel
ves—the self that is us\, our community\, and the planet. Self-responsibil
ity is our liberation out of the war economy into the essence of who we ar
e. If you want to revisit the content\, or if you weren’t able to
join us\, you can watch t
he recording of last night’s call.
\n
\n
Our next meeting will be Wednesday\, June 19th at 5:00pm PT/8:00pm ET.
Before our next gather
ing\, continue practicing and playing with this pivot. What is it
teaching you? Where do you notice yourself being pulled into an individual
istic way of thinking and being? How does self-responsibility support the
liberation of you and your community?
\n
We’d love to contin
ue to hear about what you’re learning! Join the local peace econom
y listserve to stay connected and continue learning with others in between
our bi-weekly calls! You can join the listserve here.
\n
If
you have an idea for a local peace economy project and would like specific
support bringing it to life\, reach out to Emily at emilyfranko@codepink.org to set up a time to talk!
Rep. Jamaal Bowman has remained steadfast in his support of M
edicare for All\, but AIPAC and other PACs are fueling his opponent’s camp
aign to unseat Jamaal and undermine our progress.
\n
If we do
n’t use our collective power to support Jamaal\, we may lose one of the mo
st outspoken supporters of Medicare for All in Congress.
\n
With just one week until Jamaal’s primary election\, we need all hands on
deck\, Mike.
<
strong>Our very democracy is under attack from the right. And they’re will
ing to spend millions of dollars to unseat Jamaal and any other leader who
fights for Medicare for All and other policies that benefit working famil
ies.
\n
If we want to advance a vision for a country
that supports all of us\, not just the privileged few\, we must protect a
nd re-elect the leaders who champion this vision in Congress for us today.
And we know Jamaal won’t compromise on our values.
\n
If you’ve never phone banked before\, don’t worry! These conve
rsations will be easy and friendly\, since we’ll only be calling previousl
y identified supporters of Rep. Bowman and giving them information about h
ow to get to the polls. We’ll walk you through the process and the script
so that you can have the confidence you need to connect with voters about
how we can continue fighting for Medicare for All with Jamaal on our side.
What do you say\
, Mike\, will
you join us this Thursday at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET?

DESCRIPTION:
We have chosen the documentary\, Nazi Town\, USA as our film
this month as a way to look back at 20th century history of the United Sta
tes\, especially the period between WW I and WW II. We hope to get a deep
er understanding of the Right Wing political shift in world politics at th
is time.
Und
er the auspices of PBS American Experience program filmmaker Peter Yost br
ings to light the little-known history of the German American Bund a group
of Nazi Sympathizers on American soil in the 1930’s. The Bunds embrace a
nd influence of ” Americanism” and “America First” raises questions of how
and can it happen today?
\n
Using archival
photos and films interspersed with historian and journalist Nazi Town-U
SA traces the development of this extreme\, anti-communist and antisem
itic organization.
\n
After the screen
ing there will be a discussion and Q&A.

We are excited
to announce that Dr. Cornel West will participate in a crucial panel discu
ssion at FreedomFest 2024. This event offers a unique opportunity to engag
e with one of the most pressing issues of our time.\n
Panel
Discussion: \nTitle:“If Power Concedes
Nothing Without a Demand…Then We Demand Freedom” \nDate
: Saturday\, July 13\, 2024 \nTime: 12:20 p
m – 12:50 pm PDT \nLocation: Room 134/135/136 (MAIN
STAGE)
A Historic Dialogue: Dr.
West\, alongside Larry Sharpe and Maj Toure\, will explore the enduring r
elevance of Frederick Douglass’s powerful assertion\, “If there is no stru
ggle\, there is no progress. Power concedes nothing without a demand.” Thi
s discussion will delve into the historical and contemporary significance
of Douglass’s words\, examining how they resonate in today’s fight for jus
tice and equality.\n
The Legacy of Frederick Douglass: Frederick Douglass\, a former enslaved person who became a leading abo
litionist and statesman\, understood that progress requires relentless dem
and and struggle. His life and work epitomize the fight against systemic o
ppression and the pursuit of liberty. Douglass’s commitment to justice led
him to navigate various political affiliations and support independent mo
vements when necessary\, demonstrating a clear focus on principles over pa
rty loyalty. This panel will reflect on Douglass’s legacy\, drawing parall
els between his era and our current socio-political climate\, and highligh
t the importance of maintaining an independent and principled stance in th
e fight for justice and equality.
\n
Dr. Cornel West’s Perspe
ctive: As a prominent intellectual and activist\, Dr. West brings
a profound understanding of moral and social justice to the discussion. H
is campaign for the 2024 Presidential race highlights the urgent need to c
onfront our nation’s moral bankruptcy and spiritual crisis\, driven by a p
olitical system that often values profits over people and the planet. Dr.
West advocates for policies designed by and for the people\, free from the
influence of corporate and special interests.
A Call to
Action: This panel is not just a conversation but a call to actio
n. Dr. West’s independent candidacy embodies a commitment to uniting movem
ents that seek justice beyond the confines of the corporate-dominated two-
party system. It is an invitation to all who believe in the power of colle
ctive action to join us in demanding freedom and justice for all.\n
Reflect and Act: While direct participation in the discus
sion may not be possible for everyone\, we encourage you to reflect on the
themes and insights shared. Consider how Frederick Douglass’s words apply
to our current struggles and how you can contribute to the ongoing fight
for justice in your community.
\n
Stay Engaged: Your
continued support and engagement are crucial as we strive to create a jus
t and equitable society.
\n
Thank you for your unwavering support. To
gether\, we can make history and pave the way for a brighter future.
We’re making one final push before our deadline by ho
lding a virtual friendbank event at 5 PM PT / 8 PM ET on Tuesday\, July 16
th. During this Zoom meeting\, we’ll teach you how to reach out t
o people you know and conduct the survey\, and then we’ll do it together!<
/p>\n
We’re conduc
ting this survey to give people across the United States the opportunity t
o share their experiences with our broken health care system\, and to help
us gauge the current level of public support for Medicare for All.
\n<
p>We plan to use the results of these conversations to show our elected of
ficials that health care should be a top priority during this critical ele
ction cycle\, and to send a strong message to politicians in Washington\,
D.C: listen to your constituents\, not the corporate health care indus
try!\n

DESCRIPTION:
In July we partner with the SF LaborFest to bring you a memorable mo
ment in labor history when the National Letter Carriers Union stood up to
win a raise\, collective bargaining and dignity.
This month Sensible Cin
ema along with SF LaborFest remembers the letter carriers strike of March
1970\, beginning in New York City and spreading across the nation. Descri
bed as the largest wildcat strike in U.S. history this action resulted in
a raise\, collective bargaining and respect for the rank-and-file letter c
arriers in New York as well as the United States.
\n
In the film we will see an ultimate act of civil disobedience aga
inst the Federal Government forcing President Nixon to the bargaining tabl
e to address what had been a decades long struggle for equality and respec
t and shaping a brighter future for themselves and for those who came afte
r them.
\n
After the screening there will be
a discussion and Q&A.

T
he American Dream. It used to mean a job\, a house\, a car\, a spouse\, 2.
5 kids\, and a .4 dog. But what does it mean now? For Gabriel Pearce\, a B
lack man tired of liberal failures\, on the day after the presidential ele
ction it means victory! Giving up on progressivism wasn’t easy\, but casti
ng his vote for a Conservative who promises to be grateful could mean a dr
eam come true. However\, for his daughter Paine – a teacher at a universit
y caught between protesting students and threats to funding – it’s a night
mare! Or was the lost election just a dream? Or will A.I. catch fire\, lik
e Paine’s boyfriend Oliver sees in his nightmares? Do androids dream of el
ectronic voting? Can we create the utopia of justice activist student Emma
hopes for\, or is the present just a dream within a dream within a dream?
But whether you’re asleep or Woke what some see as nightmares others see
as… American Dreams.

\n
\n
\n\nGuillermo Kane\, now
42\, was just 14 when he became a militant of Argentina’s Partido Obrero –a left-leaning political party and member of a lar
ger coalition representing the interests of the working class in the regio
nal legislature.\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
\n
He was inspired by the vision of a better\, more just nation\, and disi
llusioned by decades of administrations that failed to deliver for the nat
ion’s workers. Over the past three decades\, he’s worked with multiple wor
ker’s movements and helped organize in one of the poorest regions of Bueno
s Aires – La Matanza. His work there has been with the Piquetero cause\, a la
rge movement of unemployed citizens who took the streets during the countr
y’s 2001 economic collapse.
\n
Kane will speak at M
edicine for Nightmares Bookstore at 3036 24th St. between Treat Avenue and
Harrison Street at 7 p.m. on Saturday. — He is currently both a legislato
r at the regional parliament representing Buenos Aires and a professor of
history at the University of Buenos Aires. He is also a vocal critic of ne
w Argentinian President Javier Milei\, a militant libertarian bent
on curbing public spending.
\n
Milei has vowed to cut taxes\, el
iminate the country’s national bank and slash as many as half of the count
ry’s agencies. The new leader has drawn comparisons to former U.S Presiden
t Donald Trump. On multiple occasions\, Milei has declared his admiration
for Trump as well as Brazilian former president Jair Bolsonaro.

“He’s definitely promo
ting himself as the best student of U.S imperialism\,” said Kane. “In Arge
ntina\, you could say our project 2
025 started in 2024 with mass layoffs and wages being liquidated throu
gh inflation. He’s offered himself as the United States’ political tool in
the region.”

Gather at Senator Laphonza Butler’s office for a brief ral
ly and to “arrest” Netanyahu. We will hold a peoples’ trial to read the ch
arges\, present evidence\, convict him for war crimes and genocide\, and i
mprison him. Next\, we will make a “peoples’ red line”\, chalking the name
s of children Israel has killed in Gaza\, stretching from One Post to Sena
tor Alex Padilla’s office at 333 Bush St. There we will tell Padilla to st
op funding the genocide. Help create a children’s memorial at Padilla’s of
fice with flowers\, shoes\, and toys.
\n
After nine months of Isr
ael’s genocide\, President Biden drew a weak “red line” that Israel would
not be permitted to cross. All but ignoring him\, Prime Minister Netanyahu
’s military has continued bombing and starving Palestinians. We are watchi
ng the unspeakable happen every day\, despite mass opposition from the Ame
rican people.
\n
We demand that the Biden Administration and our
Senators\, Alex Padilla and Laphonza Butler\, stop voting to send U.S. wea
pons to kill the people of Gaza and stop taking money from the Israeli lob
by. We want them to boycott\, walk out\, or turn their backs on Netanyahu
when he addresses a joint session of Congress on July 24. Our Senators mus
t stop making us ALL complicit in this genocide! We want them to stand for
life and justice– not to continue the slaughter and starvation of the who
le population of Gaza.
\n
Join the rally to arrest Netanyahu\, de
mand that our Senators stop funding the genocide\, and chalk the children’
s names with us on July 24.

Rep. Cori Bush of Missouri’s 1st Congressional District is a
former nurse and one of our biggest Medicare for All champions\, but she’
s facing a moderate challenger in her primary election next Tuesday\, Augu
st 6th.
\n
So far\, over $12 million has been spent in attack
s against Cori\, with much of it coming from far-right millionaires and bi
llionaires using dark money super PACs.1
Sinc
e this is a virtual phone bank\, anyone and everyone across the country ca
n participate! We’ll only be calling identified supporters to remind them
to vote so it’s a fun and easy way to make a direct impact in this critica
l House race. And if you’ve never phone banked before\, don’t worry – we’l
l start with a quick training to make sure you know everything you need to
know.
\n
Last month\, we sadly lost progressive Rep. Jamaal Bowman’s
seat to an opponent supported by the same right-wing groups in what turne
d out to be the most expensive primary election in U.S. history. We can’t
afford to lose Cori and her steadfast support for Medicare for All at a ti
me like this.
Thanks for any time you can contribute t
o help defend this progressive incumbent dedicated to fighting for health
care justice for all.

Stop the Israeli Genocide in Gaza\, St

\n
From Gaza to Lebanon: No to U
S-Funded Regional War
\n
Saturday\, August 3
\n
2:00pm
\n
16th Str
eet Mission BART Plaza \nSan Francisco
\n
Yesterday marked day 300 of Israel’s latest genocide of Pales
tinians in Gaza. As Israel expands its unprecedented violence into neighbo
ring countries\, we must do everything in our power to prevent their incit
ement of a regional war\, threatening our homelands and the lives of milli
ons. In a series of major escalations this week\, Israel destroyed Gaza’s water treatment plant\, murdere
d several journalists\, and bombed Yemen\, Beirut\, and Iran. The targeted assassinatio
n of Ismail Haniyeh\, the main negotiator for the ceasefire talks\, sent a
clear message to the world that Israel remains unwilling to stop the bloo
dshed until its genocidal project is complete. Without concerted global ac
tion to end US support for Israeli violence\, these escalations threaten t
o drag the entire region into a major conflict whose effects will reverber
ate across the globe.
\n
By bombing major cities like Beirut
and Tehran\, Israel is doing nothing but inciting regional conflict. We mu
st reject Israel’s attempts to drag the region into an even bigger war. We must not allow US weapons to continue to massacre Palestinians i
n Gaza and we must reject Israel’s warmaking on Palestine\, Lebanon\, Yeme
n\, Iraq\, Iran\, and beyond. Israel’s apartheid\, occupation\, and genoci
de threaten millions around the world. We must demand an end to all US aid
and weapons transfers to Israel\, and demand the US government pull back
its tacit support for these reckless escalations.
\n
Bay Area communi
ties will rally to demand the Biden-Harris administration stop funding Isr
ael’s war machine and take the US off the brink of war. We demand our Bay
Area elected officials pull ALL support for Israel’s war and put pressure
on the Democratic Party to do the same.

Hope everyone’s having a great summer!
\n
We’ll be
meeting tomorrow\, Wednesday\, August 14\, at 6:30pm via Zoom.
We’ve got a lot of
ground to cover for our final round of endorsements. Many thanks to Elect
ions and Endorsements Coordinator Allyson Eddy Bravmann and the E&E commit
tee for their great work!
As you can see\, we’ll be hearing from th
e campaigns of multiple candidates\; weighing the numerous regional\, stat
e\, and local ballot measures\; and discussing candidates for federal\, st
ate\, and local office. We’ll also have updates on mobilizations and other
news from endorsed candidates.
We’re featuring a special film this month th
at has to do with the interesting life UUSF Church member\, Merle Easton h
ad in the community and her reminisces of her childhood. Her father\, fea
tured in the film\, along with other community members\, played a role in
making the community a livable place after World War II. Merle will join
us afterwards to explain some of the events in the film.
The
Navy left after WW II in 1945 and in 1947\, the base became a home for a
Tuberculosis Hospital and a High School for Alaska natives. We will learn
about life there through interviews with Merle and other inhabitants of t
he island.
\n
After the screening there will be a Q&A discussion.

\n
No one has fought harder for t
he LGBTQ community than Aaron Peskin. Twenty-five years ago\,
Aaron was the first to endorse gay marriage\, a stance that took immense
courage and foresight. He appointed San Francisco’s first trans commission
er\, marking a historic step forward for inclusivity in our city. When the
largest queer mental health center in the Castro faced eviction this year
\, Aaron alone led the fight\, ensuring it remained a lifeline for our com
munity. He also guaranteed the continued operation of City Clinic\, anothe
r critical resource for the LGBTQ community.

DESCRIPTION:
The loss of civil liberties–freedom
of speech\, freedom of the press\, freedom of assembly–often unfolds incr
ementally until the government censors us or we censor ourselves for fear
of retribution. In Consortium News\, former CIA analyst John Kiria
kou writes\, “The governments of the U.S.\, U.K. and even Canada
have been working hard\, sometimes in a coordinated fashion\, to silence d
issenting voices.” Kiriakou will tell us about his recent interrogation by
the US Border Patrol and Canadian Mounted Police following a trip to Gree
ce to discuss Israel’s genocide in Palestine and the thre
at of regional war in the Middle East.
\n
We will also share updates
on legislative attempts to censor students and teachers for Palestine in C
A California and Massachusetts–and on Israel’s outlawing of six Palestinia
n civil society groups while terrorist settlers\, in cahoots with the Isra
eli military\, rampage the West Bank.
\n
Chat with p
eacemakers and experts \nTuesday\, Sept 3 at 5pm PT / 8 pm ET
:
John Kiriakou is a former C.I.A. counterterrorism officer and a f
ormer senior investigator with the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Joh
n became the sixth whistleblower indicted by the Obama administration unde
r the Espionage Act—a law designed to punish spies. He served 23 months in
prison as a result of his attempts to oppose the Bush administration’s to
rture program.
\n‘We Were Never Invi
ted’ — Advocates Work to Tie Chinatown’s Art to the Community
\n
After decades of community advocacy\, local groups have increased op
portunities for Asian Americans to create public art.
\n
And now the
city’s Arts Commission and the Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco are
expanding that effort by building a catalogue of Asian artists\, many of
whom might otherwise go unseen\, to create future works.
Public datasets like these are generally considered a
transparency win\, but Madison says for everything the dashboards showed\,
there was much more that they obscured.
\nPanelists Confirmed — Bring Us Your Housing Qu
estions Sept. 3!
\n
How would San Francisco’s Prop. G\, th
e subsidy for extremely low-income rentals\, work? How will yanking a $20
billion regional housing bond from the ballot affect the development of af
fordable housing? Join our conversation with:
\n
\n
Karol
een Feng\, Chief Community Real Estate Officer at the Mission Eco
nomic Development Agency (MEDA).
\n
Anni Chung\, P
resident and CEO at Self-Help for the Elderly
\n
\n
We’ll be at
KALW’s downtown hub at 220 Montgomery St. in San Francisc
o on Tuesday\, Sept. 3. The panel starts at 6 p.m.\, but
come at 5 p.m. for refreshments and to chat with our team!
\n
Can’t m
ake it? Send us your questions anyway — we’ll try to get them answered and
let you know when you can hear a recording of the event on the radio.
Topping our agenda will be a discussion and
subsequent secret ballot vote on rescinding our recommendation of Kamala
Harris for president. A motion to revisit the recommendation passed overwh
elmingly at our August 28 special meeting.
\n
The email we sent last
week stated that media might be present at the meeting\, but we have heard
members’ concerns and the board will speak to interested reporters after
the meeting instead. No media will be present during the member d
iscussion.
In addition to discussion\, we’ll have update
s on endorsed candidates and ballot measures as we head into the home stre
tch of the 2024 election.

DESCRIPTION:
Thank you to all those who joined us for the Local Peace Eco
nomy meeting last night!
\n
We had so much fun playfully connecting w
ith our imagination with you. Jodie’s reflections reminded us to find our
edges—because\, just like in the natural world\, that’s where life happens
. The war economy tries to keep us inside a box\, inside rigid binaries. O
ur imagination is what allows us to move beyond the rigidity imposed on us
into something new. How can you playfully explore moving beyo
nd your edges and boundaries over the next two weeks?

On April 15\, Bay Area people of conscience staged a protest on the
Golden Gate Bridge to demand an immediate ceasefire and an end to US mili
tary aid to Israel. 26 individuals were arrested and held in jail for days
\, where they faced discriminatory treatment.
\n
Now\, they are facin
g felony and misdemeanor charges for their civil disobedience.
\n
Dis
trict Attorney Brooke Jenkins\, who just recently failed in her prosecutio
n of a similar case in the Bay Bridge 78\, has filed a series of trumped u
p charges against them\, including:
\n
-Felony conspiracy and
\n
-38 counts of false imprisonment per person.
\n
– Her prosecutorial
overreach includes not only these charges\, but the request of warrants to
investigate their cell phones\, and then re-arrest warrants once she anno
unced the charges in August.
\n
While the genocide in Palestine rages
on\, the District Attorney’s office is wasting public funds to harshly pu
nish people of conscience for speaking out. The Golden Gate 26 are caught
in the crosshairs of DA Jenkins’ heightened efforts to criminalize the ver
y act of protest itself.
\n
The #
GoldenGate26 are part of a long lineage of people in the Bay Area and
beyond who have used civil disobedience to help bend the arc of history to
ward justice. DA Jenkins has the power to drop the charges against all pro
testors and stand on the right side of history: against genocide\, and wit
h the Palestinian people.
\n
TAKE ACTION! Tell DA Jenkins to
DROP THE CHARGES AGAINST the GOLDEN GATE 26

Hi\, my name is _____________ \, resident of [San Franc

\n
I’m calling to demand DA Jenkins to drop ALL the
charges against all of the Golden Gate bridge ceasefire protestors. San F
rancisco residents widely support the international call for a ceasefire\,
as well as the April 15 civil disobedience on the Golden Gate bridge: we
do not support our tax dollars being used for genocide OR the repression
of local protest movements.
\n
If DA Jenkins moves forward w
ith this\, it could cost the city tens of thousands of dollars per hearing
. This is an unacceptable waste of public resources. I will be watching th
is case closely\, as will thousands of SF residents\, and again urge you t
o drop the charges immediately.

In Norman Solomon’s new Afterword in
the paperback edition of his book War Made Invisible: How America Hide
s the Human Toll of Its Military Machine\, the author excoriates the
White House for arming a genocide with assistance from a complicit press.
Soloman tracks events following the October 7th attacks on civilians and m
ilitary in Israel\, a few months after publication of the book in hardcove
r. The 31-page Afterword in the paperback edition indicts the Bide
n administration for complicity in Israel’s genocide\, a horror f
acilitated by Pentagon media stenographers who covered up\, ignored or under-reported U.S-Israel war crimes.
\n
We will talk t
o Norman about how the corporate press minimized Palestinian suffering\, under-reported the Biden administration’s arms shipments\,
and failed to stand up for journalists risking their lives to cover the b
loodbath. We will also acknowledge the reporters who joined in newsroom re
volts against corporate overlords censoring their stories.

The Chronicle and KQED to co-host San F
rancisco mayoral debate
The front-runners to lead City Hall will discuss their ideas for Sa
n Francisco’s most pressing challenges on Sept. 19
\n
By Sarah Feldberg\,Edit
or for Emerging Products and AudioJune 6\, 2024
\n\n
The Chronicle and KQED will co-pre
sent a 2024 San Francisco mayoral debate on Sept. 19.KQED
\n
On Nov.
5\, San Francisco voters will head to the polls to choose their next mayor.
\n
The
race pits current Mayor London Breed against a field of challengers\, inc
luding Mark Farrell\, former appointed mayor\; Aaron Peskin\, president of
the Board of Supervisors\; Daniel Lurie\, Levi’s heir and non-profit lead
er\; and Ahsha Safaí\, city supervisor.
\n
To help voters make an inf
ormed decision on Election Day\, the San Francisco Chronicle is partnering
with KQED to co-present a 2024 mayoral debate.
\n
At 7 p.m. on Sept.
19\, Chronicle senior political writer Joe Garofoli and KQED political re
porters Scott Shafer and Marisa Lagos will moderate a debate at KQED’s Mis
sion District event space. The five front-runners in the Chronicle’s polli
ng this summer will be invited to participate in the debate\, which will b
e broadcast live on both KQED Public Television 9 and KQED Public Radio 88
.5 FM and available to livestream with free registration.
\n
“This is a critical electio
n for San Francisco voters\,” said Shafer. “There’s nothing like seeing th
e top candidates together on stage at the same time to compare their posit
ions\, personalities and plans for San Francisco. We hope their answers to
our questions and interactions with each other give voters the informatio
n they need to decide who to support and how to rank their choices.”
\n
Candidates will be asked to discuss their policies and ideas on a range
of the most pressing issues facing San Francisco\, such as homelessness\,
public safety\, the city’s post-pandemic recovery and the enduring plague
of drug overdoses.
\n
“San Francisco is facing numerous challenges a
nd opportunities — and as longtime reporters in this city\, we know how im
portant it is for all the top candidates to face questions from independen
t\, seasoned journalists who understand both politics and policy\,” said L
agos.
\n
With a contentious election cycle already well underway\, th
e debate will be an opportunity for voters to cut through the noise and he
ar directly from the front-runners.
\n
“San Francisco voters will be
inundated with unprecedented amounts of political advertising in this mayo
ral campaign\,” said Garofoli. “This will be a chance to see the candidate
s go toe-to-toe in person and see who soars\, who wilts and who just regur
gitates their talking points.”

We celebrate Hispanic Heritag
e Month (Sept.15-Oct.15) with a film about elections. Many people don’t r
emember Willie Velasquez or ever knew of him. This film takes us into the
earlier racial voting suppression days from the 1960s – 80s. It’s the st
ory of how the Hispanic Vote evolved in the U.S.\, but sadly is still a co
ntinuing story.

The documentary\, Willie Velasquez: Your Vote Is Your Voice\, directed by Hector Galan tells the story of Willie Velasquez who mobi
lized Latinx(s) to vote and in turn changed the direction of History and p
ermanently altered the American political landscape.
\n
In the documentary Your Vote is Your Voice we examine the obstac
les Velasquez\, along with other people of Hispanic heritage\, had to over
come to obtain representation in city government and address Latinx issues
which still exist today.
\n
With the creation of The
Southwest Voter Registration Education Project\, Willie Velasquez was thr
ust into a life-long battle to gain political equality and bring into the
democratic process an active and educated Latinx electorate.
\n
After the screening there will be a Q&A discussion.<

Thank you to all th
ose who joined us for the Local Peace Economy meeting last night!
\n
We hope you left feeling as inspired to connect more deeply with the earth
in new (and maybe ancient) ways as we did. As we talked about last night\
, we can’t grow our local peace economy and create the future we want to l
ive in without being in relationship with the land. Last night\, we “harve
sted” several ways we can deepen our connection with the earth in our day-
to-day lives. Here are a few practices we gathered together:
\n
\nBuying our vegetables from the farmers market\n
Offering our nee
ds and challenges to the trees
\n
Being in the sunshine
\n
S
pending time near water
\n
Growing food
\n
Cultivating a rel
ationship with animals
\n
Walking the labyrinth
\n
\n
We
hope these practices nourish you and your relationship with the land. We’d
love to hear what you’re learning! You can share about your experience wi
th our local
peace economy listserv.
\n
If you want to revisit the co
ntent from the meeting\, or if you weren’t able to join us\, you can watch the recording of last night’s ca
ll.
\n
You can also find other resources and practices to support you
as you reconnect with the earth in our Cycle of (Re)connection library. If you’re not
sure where to start\, we recommend:
In addition to the community call on September 25th\, we’re exc

ave already challenged the voting rights of 851\,000 eligible voters\, wit
h a goal of 2 million by November 5th. And nearly all of them are voters

As the US supplies Israel with billions i
n arms\, US taxpayers foot the bill to slaughter Gaza and
bombard Lebanon with 2\,000-pound bunker buster bombs. T
humbing his nose at the world community\, Israeli PM Netanyhau tells the U
N that Israel will continue its attacks on Gaza and Lebanon amid its refus
al to support a ceasefire. While protesters shouted “Free Palestin
e” outside the UN\, several delegations walked out before Netanyh
u could approach the podium.
\n
Israel’s recent military attacks on H
ezbollah have left over 600 dead in Lebanon\, and thousands wounded\, and
Netanyahu has refused international efforts to negotiate a 21-day pause.\n

Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Galla
nt vows an Israeli strike against Iran will be “lethal\, precise a
nd surprising” in the wake of Iran sending hundr
eds of missiles into Israel to target military facilities. Iran’s missile
barrage was in retaliation for the “violation of Iran’s sovereignty and th
e martyrdom” of Hamas political leader Ismail Haniyeh\, who was killed by
an explosion in Tehran—and in response to the Israeli air strike in the so
uthern suburbs of Beirut that killed hundreds of people.<
/p>\n
Even as Israel commits genocide in Gaza and bombs
Lebanon\, Syria and Yemen\, President B
iden reaffirms his “ironclad” support during a 30-minute
phone call with Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu. Biden insists he will no
t support an Israeli attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities and oil installat
ions—but Biden has reversed himself before so it’s anyone’s guess whether
he will stick to his latest red line.

\n
Shirley Chisholm72′ Unbought and Unbossed by directo
r Shola Lynch is a compelling documentary on Shirley Chisholm\, the first
Black woman to seek the nomination for the highest office in the land and
the first Black woman to be elected to Congress. Some described her campa
ign in 1968\, as “frenzied\, fierce and fundamentally right on”.
\n
With period footage and music\, interviews with supporters\
, opponents\, observers and Chisholm own words viewers will see in this fi
lm not just a historic run for office but a fight for inclusion by someone
who was shunned by the political establishment and media.
\n
Chisholm’s run for the nomination was a run not only fo
r power and position but for an equal place on the presidential Dias and a
challenge to the status quo and an opportunity to deliver her message abo
ut exercising the right to vote which struck many as progressive then and
now.
\n
Aft
er the screening there will be a Q&A discussion.
Thank you to all
those who joined us for the Local Peace Economy meeting on Wednesday night
!
\n
We are grateful to have had the time to reground in what the loc
al peace economy is all about and why we do this work in this moment of po
lycrisis. We especially loved hearing about what gifts you can offer to yo
ur community—the gifts that the war economy tries to hide and devalue. As
you move through the next two weeks\, continue to return to the reflection
questions from last night:
\n
What are three resources y
ou have that are NOT money?
\n
Choose one of the th
ree resources. What is the quality of the flow of that re
source? What’s the energy around the possibility of shar
ing that resource? (e.g.\, Is it blocked? Is there a feeling of stinginess
\, protection\, or hesitance? Is it free flowing? etc.)
\n
Does the flow of that resource\, as it is right now\, currently ser
ve the future you want to create and live in? If not\, w
hat needs to shift for you to be able to offer that resource in a way that
better aligns with that future?
\n
As you return to these quest
ions over time\, what does your life reveal to you about how you already b
ring your gifts to community or how you can bring your gifts to community
in new ways?
\n
If you want to revisit the content from the meeting\,
or if you weren’t able to join us\, you can w
atch the recording of this week’s call.
\n
If you want t
o deepen your reflection about your gifts and resources\, you can find add
itional prompts beginning on page 117 of The Local Peace Economy Workbook.
\n
We’d love to hear what you’re learning before our next call!
You can share about your experience with our local peace economy listserv
.
\n
\n
Our next meeting wi
ll be Wednesday\, October 23th at 5:00pm PT/8:00pm ET. We’re excited to welcome a s
pecial guest who has dedicated decades of her life to cultivating the peac
e economy. We hope to see you there!
If you want to deepen into your peace econom
y learning with others beyond our bi-weekly calls\, we recommend an upcomi
ng offering from our friend Alixa García: A Course on the Imaginal: Cultivating the Visionary Self. Explore your relationship with grief\, creativity\, and the earth as
you “awaken the imaginal within” in community with people creating a more
beautiful future!

Tomorrow
is our FINAL Patients Over Profits Action Call of 2024! RSVP here →
\n
O
n this call\, we’ll hear from special guest Grace Wagner! Grace is one of
our volunteers based in Arizona whose mom was an OB/GYN nurse.
\n
Gra
ce remembers the heartfelt human interest stories and modern medicine exam
ples that inspired her respect for the profession. This experience helped
inform Grace’s belief that everybody deserves the quality of life that tim
ely and responsible medical care can provide.
\n
With this in mind\,
Grace recently attended an event in Arizona where she had an intimate conv
ersation with a candidate and persuaded them to sign the Patients Over Pro
fits Pledge!
\n
After we hear from Grace\, we’ll talk about h
ow you can help us reach our goal of 300 pledge signers before the polls c
lose next Tuesday\, November 5th.
\n
This final week before
the 2024 general election —when candidates across the country are running
for office and still actively taking donations — is the perfect opportunit
y to build our movement of politicians who reject campaign contributions o
f $200 or more from the for-profit health care industry. We know this is u
ltimately how we will lay the groundwork and build the political will that
will be needed to win guaranteed health care through Medicare for All.

Thank you to all those who joi
ned us for the Local Peace Economy meeting on Wednesday night!
\n
As
one person on the call reflected last night\, it’s important to both suppo
rt each other and be supported during these times\, and we’re so grateful
for your presence during these gatherings. It truly makes a difference!
\n
Last night\, we heard from Emily as she reflected on some of her lea
rnings during her time as CODEPINK’s Local Peace Economy Coordinator. Duri
ng the call\, she spoke about where we get “hooked” by the war economy and
invited us into two inquiries:
\n
Is there a war that yo
u’re waging within yourself or in a relationship? If so\, what ca
n you learn from that war about cultivating peace in your community?<
/p>\n
What’s one small thing you can do this week t
hat creates the conditions for a peace economy to emerge in your community
?
Although we were sad to
say goodbye to Emily in this role last night\, we were also so excited to
welcome in Marie\, CODEPINK’s new Local Peace Economy Coordinator! Marie
brings rich experience growing the peace economy in her community in Penns
ylvania to the role\, and we can’t wait for you to get to know her. You ca
n reach Marie at marie@codepink.org.
\n
If you want to revisit the content from the meeting\, or if you weren
’t able to join us\, you can watch the record
ing of this week’s call.
\n
If you want to deepen your r
eflection about last night’s topic of self-responsibility\, you can find a
dditional prompts here and on page 87 of <
strong>The Local Pe
ace Economy Workbook.
\n
We’d love to hear what you’re l
earning before our next call! You can share about your experience with our
local peace
economy listserv.
\n
\n
Our
next meeting will be Wednesday\, November 6th at 5:00pm PT/8:00pm ET. We’re excit
ed to welcome a special guest who has dedicated decades of her life to cul
tivating the peace economy. We hope to see you there!

DESCRIPTION:
Our film this month is a third in a series of films screened at Sens
ible Cinema about protestors and especially protests by young women in Ira
n. This film follows the death of a young actress after she was arrested r
egarding the dress codes imposed upon them by the Ayotola Kahmenei regime.
The film gives us an important glimpse of what it’s living in Iran is lik
e today.
Inside the Iranian Uprising\, a FRONTLINE docume
ntary by Majed Neisi\, tells the story Iran has tried to hide from the wo
rld and gives an unflinching look at the aftermath of a protest following
the death of Masha Zhina Amin in police custody – she was accused of not a
dhering to a strict Islamic dress code.
\n
Through a collection of gripping images taken by phones of young Iran
ians and posted online\, rigorously verified by FRONTLINE staff Inside
the Iranian Uprising gives an unyielding look at the protest and the a
buses Iranians receive by the regime’s security forces. This documentary
is best described as an extraordinary and shocking insight into what is ha
ppening across Iran and shows the extreme cruelty the regime issues to con
trol its citizens.
\n
Following the sc
reening we have Dolly Veale\, Co-Founder of International Emergency Campai
gn (IEC)\, a grass roots organization dedicated to free Iran’s political p
risoners. She is also a contributing wwriter to revcom.us.
\n
After the screening there will be a Q&A discussion.

Israel’s genocide in Gaza and occupation of Palestine furnishes Israel with a g
houlish laboratory for testing weapons and surveillance technology that ca
n be exported around the world to despots and so-called democracies.
\n
One of Israel’s high-tech tools is based on mobile phone tracking to mo
nitor the evacuation of Palestinians from parts of northern Gaza. Another\
, which the military calls “The Gospel\,” generates lists
of buildings to be bombed. Still another–“Lavender” assi
gns ratings to people in Gaza to label them as military targets. The Orwe
llian software “Where’s Daddy?” purports to determine a t
arget’s location.
\n
Meanwhile\, Israeli lobby groups infiltrate our
schools to erase Palestine in the classroom while indoctrinating our stude
nts to conflate antisemitism with anti-Zionism. Lobbyists like the Anti-Defamation League create their own laboratory in class when
they peddle lesson plans defining antisemitism as bias against Israel or
encourage students to track hate incidents\, with criticism of Israel as a
racist endeavor considered an antisemitic incident.
\n
Join CODEPINK Congress for a closer look at the Palestine laboratory
in Gaza and in class!

DESCRIPTION:
As we wind our way out of this election season and find ourselv
es engulfed in age-old stories of power and change\, we are gratef
ul that we will all be together for our Local Peace Economy gathering on W
ednesday\, November 20th 5pm PT / 8pm ET.
\n
Where do we tur
n when we are trying to envision a new story? We turn to each other\, and
we turn to our artists. This week\, we will be discussing “Peace Culture.”
What is it\, where is it already being practiced\, and how can we nourish
it within ourselves and our communities? This discussion will be
led by Cameron Roper\, CODEPINK’s new Local Peace Culture Coordinator. In this call\, we will begin to awaken our own agency\, creativity\,
and power and take responsibility for building and supporting a local pea
ce culture.
\n
Please bring an artist\, song\, poem\, book\,
or movie that feels aligned with the Local Peace Economy to share at this
meeting.
A living\, breathing\, and thriving cul
ture of arts\, practices\, and traditions is essential to growing our loca
l peace economies. The war economy preaches a culture of consumerism and c
omplacency\, where your identity\, connections\, and ways of relating are
defined by what you buy\, what you own\, where you go out to eat\, etc\, r
ather than what you make\, how you contribute\, and who you are. We are in
terested in life-affirming ways of being. What does that culture f
eel like? What is out there already that we can learn from?
We continue
to take our voices to Netflix to demand that they reinsta
te Palestinian films and voices into their catalogue. Will you help us? Th
is action is easy to accomplish. Reach out to jasmi
ne@codepink.org if you want support. And use our Boycott Netflix Guide to take action.
\n
I
f you were unable to join us for the last meeting or want to revisit the c
ontent from the last meeting\, you can find the recording of the last call here.
\n
We are always interested in your experiences with your local

CodWhen Trump was President\, he sent Ukraine lethal weapons to stoke a civil war that preceded t
he Russian invasion of Ukraine. More recently\, Trump changed his tune–aft
er half a million soldiers were killed or wounded.
\n
During his pres
idential campaign\, he said\, “They’re dying\, Russians and Ukrainians. I
want them to stop dying. And I’ll have that done — I’ll have that
done in 24 hours.”
\n
Could he? Well\, maybe not in 24 hours
but hopefully soon\, provided the Biden White House doesn’t first plunge
us into WWIII.
\n
Look at recent events.
\n
On his way out the door\, President Biden\,
on November 17\, crossed his own red line to approve of Ukraine’s use of
US-supplied ballistic missiles to strike deep inside Russia. In response\, Russia revised its nuclear doctrine to lower the thresho
ld on the use of nuclear weapons to consider an attack by a non-nuclear ar
med state supported by a nuclear-armed power as a joint assault.
\n
T
wo days later the Biden White House sent Ukraine anti-personnel mines or c
luster bombs outlawed in much of the world. Then on November 21st\, Russia
fired an experimental ballistic missile capable of carrying a nuclear war
head at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro\, where a million pe
ople reside.
\n
The real possibility of a nuclear catastrophe lies be
fore our eyes as Russia considers a nuclear-capable US/NATO military base in Poland a potential target.
\n
Th
e US government urgently needs to reverse course to promote a ceasefire an
d diplomatic resolution to Ukraine. Join us to discuss the possibilities a
nd challenges facing the next presidential administration.

Col
. (ret.) Lawrence Wilkerson served as Secretary of State Colin Po
well’s Chief of Staff (2002-05)\, also as Associate Director of the State
Department’s Policy Planning staff under the directorship of Ambassador Ri
chard N. Haass\, and as a member of that staff responsible for East Asia a
nd the Pacific\, political-military and legislative affairs (2001-02).
\n
Before serving at the State Department\, Wilkerson served 31 years in
the U.S. Army. During that time\, he was a member of the faculty of the U
.S. Naval War College (1987 to 1989). Wilkerson retired in 1997 and began
work as an advisor to General Powell. He has also taught national securit
y affairs at the George Washington University and is currently working on
a book about the first George W. Bush administration.
\n
Nico
lai Petro is a Senior Washington Fellow at the Institute for Peac
e & Diplomacy and a Professor of Political Science at the University of Rh
ode Island\, where he previously held the Silvia-Chandley Professorship of
Peace Studies and Nonviolence.
\n
His scholarly awards include two F
ulbright awards (one to Russia and one to Ukraine)\, a Council on Foreign
Relations Fellowship\, and research awards from the Foreign Policy Researc
h Institute\, the National Council for Eurasian and East European Research
\, the Kennan Institute for Advanced Russian Studies in Washington\, D.C.\
, and the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. In 2021 he was a Visi

Are you one of the many Americans who dr
ead this holiday week? Do you dread the mandatory time with dysfunctional
families\, the problematic fairy-tale Thanksgiving story\, and the consume
rist feeding-frenzy of Black Friday?
\n
I especially dread the consum
ption-driven start of the holiday shopping excess on Black Friday. For me\
, this rampant consumerism ruins a perfectly good Friday that could be bet
ter spent being in service to something larger than ourselves and our individual families.
\n
How might bring the Peace Econom
y ethos to Black Friday as an antidote? How might we include our w
ider community and shift our focus away from consumption? We coul
d start small and simply invite neighbors or friends to a community potluc
k meal and discuss how we might organize for the coming times of community
need. We could organize a park or river clean-up to give back with gratitude to the “more than human” world\, which is part of our community as well. We might have a bonfire an
d invite strangers and passers-by to be warmed by the fire and some conver
sation\; volunteer with a community organization doing important work that
you admire\; donate to little “free” libraries around us\, or attend a cr
aft fair. Instead of consuming\, focus on community and bring the family a
long\, if they are willing.
\n
Ask yourself\, “Who else might
I bring to my table?”
\n
Finding a community lens through w
hich you might view this upcoming holiday season could help to relieve the
almost inevitable disappointment many feel and bring you some measure of
joy or gratitude. It might also allow you to breathe easier\, hug
longer\, savor nourishment\, feel connected\, and appreciate the small way
s the messiness of life\, community\, and family can foster contentment an
d enough-ness.
Our next Lo
cal Peace Economy meeting is next Wednesday\, December 4th at 8 p
m ET/5 pm PT.
\n
In this meeting\, we want to emphasize that this is
the moment we have been warning about since we launched this project. The
structures that held us have been crumbling for a while now and it becomes
more and more apparent. What can we learn from them? How might we
meet this moment? Why community\, mutual aid and grounding ourse
lves locally matters even more right now. How can we not be pulled under b
y fears while creating the future? How can we share what we learn with oth
ers?
If you were unable to join us for the last me
eting or want to revisit the content from the last meeting\, you can find
the recording of the last call here.
\n
Some members of CODEPINK are joining a hunger striketo serve as a call for urgent action to break the siege\, demand huma

\n
Oscar-winning actress and award-winning singer Cher will b
e at the Golden Gate Theatre on December 4\, 7:30pm to discuss her new mem
oir. Her life is so fabulous\, this is only part one of two memoirs.
\n
Cher will discuss her decades-long career in music\, films\, and even t
he stage plays\, with the SF Chronicle’s music journalist Joel Selvin.
\n
The only woman to top Billboard charts in seven consecutive decades\,
Cher is also the winner of two Academy Awards\, an Emmy\, Grammy and a Ca
nnes Fest Festival Award. She’s also been inducted into the Rock & Roll Ha
ll of Fame\, and was recently lauded at the Kennedy Center Honors.
\n
\n
From her early beginnings as a backup singer\
, she later became a music sensation with Sonny Bono\, whom she married. T
heir variety show in the 1970s\, and the short-lived “Cher Show\,” was fol
lowed by her acting career\, to the surprise of many.
\n
Winning an O
scar for Best Supporting Actress in “Silkwood” in 1984 was followed by win
ning Best Actress for “Moonstruck” in 1988. Despite growing the attention
from numerous tabloids for her many romances with men\, she continued to p
ush boundaries and defy criticism as she enjoyed a recent music revival\,
and the continued adoration of LGBTQ fans\, with her hit single “Believe.”
And more recently\, a biographical musical featuring her music became a h
it on Broadway and with a touring production that recently played in San F
rancisco.
\n
Tickets\, which include a copy of her memoir\, go on sal

ALAMEDA COUNTY: ALL OUT FOR ETHICAL INVESTMENT AND TO DIVEST FROM
APARTHEID
\n
Alameda County Supervisors have an ethical investment poli
cy resolution on this week’s 12/10 agenda. Let’s mobilize to demand they v
ote and pass this resolution that will keep our tax dollars from being inv
ested in companies that cause harm\, enable or profit from environmental d
erogation\, occupation\, war\, systemic poverty\, mass surveillance\, immi
gration detention centers\, genocide or apartheid!
\n
We’ll b
e packing the house at 9:30am and again at 4pm\, as we anticipate that thi
s motion is going to get delayed again by Supervisor Miley \n \nAt
this meeting\, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors will vote on the le
tter directing Alameda County’s Treasurer to divest the county from compan
ies involved in Israeli apartheid and genocide. This letter was introduced
on November 12\, but Sup. Haubert moved to delay the vote until the Decem
ber 10th Board meeting. At the beginning of a board meeting each superviso
r can delay an item once by up to 2 meetings\, and we anticipate Miley wil
l move to delay again.
\n
It’s important that we pack the roo
m at the start of the meeting to show strong community support from all ac
ross Alameda County in favor of divestment and come back later at 4 to giv
e public comment! But if you can only join one of those times\, please pri
oritize the 4pm mobilization. We must signal to our representatives that o
ur communities take this seriously\, and that any further delay is a misca
rriage of Justice
On Tuesday\, December 10\, the Alameda County Bo
ard of Supervisors will consider a proposal to develop a new “ethical investment policy” that could be used to promote Boycott\, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS)
against Israel. This thinly disguised effort at BDS was advanced by Superv
isor Keith Carson. The full agenda can be accessed he
re.\n
Join JCRC in telling the Board that divestment eff
orts are flawed\, will jeopardize local finances\, and harm the Jewish com
munity while doing nothing to bring peace.
\n
It is critical
that the Board rejects this proposal for the following reasons:Un
ity and Community Needs Must Be Prioritized: In the face of risin
g antisemitism and significant budget challenges\, divisive initiatives li
ke BDS distract from supporting the well-being of the entire community and
addressing critical issues.Insufficient Time for Public Input: Rushing this proposal undermines transparency and prevents thoughtf
ul deliberation.Lack of Clarity: The proposal’s broad and
undefined mandate leaves no room for open debate in a public forum and hi
nders meaningful accountability. \nProvide Public Comment
on Tuesday
\n
In Person: The proposal w
ill be considered at the Board Chambers (1221 Oak Street\, 5th Floor\, Oak
land) at 4:00 p.m. and the public will be permitted to provide comments ab
out this item. We encourage you to show up early\, bring small signs\, and
prepare one-minute remarks.
\n
Remember to fill out a digital speake
r card at the front of the chambers as soon as you get there. For talking
points\, please refer to our guide

DESCRIPTION:
The topic of the conversation wi
ll be on “Unlearning (a little ironic because we call these conve
rsations “Learning Hours.”) But the concept of “Unlearning” could
not be more crucial at this moment we find ourselves within.
\n
The Local Peace Economy project is\, at its heart\, an attempt to enc
ourage us all to unlearn habits\, beliefs\, and behaviors that the war eco
nomy has forced on us since we were children\, and then to provide pivots
so we can cultivate peace with the actions of our lives. These war
-economy core behaviors run very deep\, and no one is immune. The
y are forced on us by our parents\, our schooling\, and our culture\; they
are the water in which we swim.
\n
These behaviors are so fundamenta
l that as soon as we begin to reveal them\, the validity of the whole syst
em begins to collapse. Where have these behaviors become the stories your
life rests on\, stories you hold on to so firmly that you believe the wor
ld will end if they are not true? What would it take to let go of
the stories that are destroying your life\, the vibrancy of your communit
y and the future of earth and co-create some new ones?
\n
\n
Char
les Eisenstein has spent his life picking apart these war-economy stories
and suggesting new stories that might fill their place. His many
important books examine whole cultural systems and core beliefs. He illumi
nates the faulty core at the root of the war-economy: a misunderst
anding of what it means to be human in an intertwined and interdependent w
orld.
\n
Of course\, so many of you understand that our cult
ure and our structures have\, for many centuries\, created a path that is
leading us to a destructive and isolated end. How might we step of
f the path and cultivate something new? How might we together weave new st
ories that create the foundations for peace?
We’re throwing a holiday party! We’ll have hos
ted drinks\, food\, and live music. Come join us as we celebrate another g
reat year! Due to capacity constraints\, we ask that you RSVP in advance.
This event is 21+.

Syria—Now What? \nChat with peacemakers and experts on Zo
om: \nTuesday\, Dec 17 at \n5PM PT/8PM ET\n
The sudden fall of Syrian Pre
sident Bashar al-Assad has been met with both celebration and tre
pidation\; relief and joy for the end of a torturous regime but anxiety ov
er what the future holds\, as Israel bombs Syria<
/strong> to annex more land\, Turkeye’s Erdogan applauds
the collapse of a rival power and the US government loots Syria’s oil supp
ly. Then there’s the question of HTS\, an al-Qaeda offsho
ot that led the uprising. Will Congress and the White House no longer cons
ider HTS a terrorist? Will the former enemy now become a partner in imperi
al crime as the US and Israel deepen their foothold in the region? Then th
ere’s Ukraine and Russia. How will the f
all of Assad impact that US proxy war? These questions beg for answers as
the US and Israel continue their genocide in Gaza despite
global condemnation.

Over 400 days into the U.S.-backed\, Israeli genocide
of Palestinians\, none of us pictured we’d be here.
\n
\n
If y
ou’re feeling hopeless\, or uncertain about how we move forward together o
nce Trump takes office — you’re not alone.
\n
\n
It’s more cri
tical than ever that we come together: to understand the shifting terrain\
, get clear on strategy\, and get organized for the next phase of the work
.
These ma
ss meetings only happen four times a year\, making them a vital space to c
onnect deeply with one another.
\n
This meeting will include:
\n\n
\n
Political education: Ge
t clarity on what’s happening in Palestine and the wider region\, and the
U.S.’s relationship to it
\n
Strategy: Hear from J
VP leadership about which strategies to end the genocide will make the mos
t sense as Trump takes office\, and learn how to plug in
\n
Prepare for repression: Deepen our practices to withstand increa
sing repression\, feel connected to a whole organization of people who are
in this struggle with you\, and refuel ourselves to keep going
I hope you all had a nice Thanksgiving and looking forward to Christ
mas and New Years. We’re celebrating James Baldwin’s 100th Birthday by br
inging this film about his life.
\n
\n
We’
re very sorry\, our Sensible Cinema films are not screened at the church (
until further notice).
An emotional portrait\, a social critique\, the film James Baldwin: The Price Of A Ticket by director Karen Thorsen is an autobiographica
l portrait of writer activist James Baldwin.
\n
The film probes into Baldwin’s persona
l life\, writings and perspectives on race in America. The film allows B
aldwin to tell his story in his own words (minus narration) drawing exten
sively from Baldwin’s own words speeches and interviews – many of the word
s were written from his various homes in France\, Switzerland\, Turkey and
Harlem.
\n
With rarely-seen archival footage from over a hundred sources and nine d
ifferent countries the film shows viewers the life\, works\, and beliefs o
f James Baldwin\, who was a major twentieth-century American author\, Civi
l Rights activist\, and a prophetic voice calling on Americans\, Black and
White\, to confront their shared racial adversity.

DESCRIPTION:\n
After 465 days of genocide\, Palestinians in Gaza have shown the worl
d that they will continue to rise until liberation. We know that this ceas
efire is not enough\, but an essential step on the path to liberation. We
stand with Palestinians in Gaza\, demand accountability for Zionist and im
perialist war criminals and all their accomplices\, and recommit ourselves
to the struggle and the long road ahead.
\n
Bring Palestinian flags\
, kuffiyehs\, and your voices. We’ll see you in the streets.
\n
—————
\n
From AROC’s Ceasefire statement: \nThis is
also a moment to intensify our organizing. As this movement grows\, it con
tinues to face relentless attacks from right-wing forces and state repress
ion. These efforts aim to delegitimize and suppress calls for Palestinian
liberation\, and all voices for justice. We must remain vigilant and defen
d our movement from these threats\, ensuring it remains a powerful force f
or change in the face of adversity.
\n
We must continue to mobilize\,
speak out\, and pressure decision-makers to follow the lead of the majori
ty of people in the US and across the world who support Palestinian freedo
m. As we mark this ceasefire\, it is time to redouble our efforts with cle
ar demands:
\n
\n
Ensure the ceasefire remains permanent.
\n<
li>Demand that Israel withdraw its military from Gaza\, Lebanon\, Syria\,
and all occupied lands.\n
Guarantee unrestricted aid and reconstru
ction for Gaza.
\n
Hold Israel accountable for its crimes against h
umanity.
\n
\n
After 16 long months of organizing\, protesting\,
and grieving. This ceasefire grants us all an opportunity to pause and re
flect on how far we’ve come\, and how much further we still have to go. Th
e fight continues for a world free of war\, fascism\, racism\, colonialism
\, and exploitation. Despite the horrors inflicted upon us\, we will conti
nue to fight for it. And we will win.
We kick off 2025 with a review and re
membrance of the Border as the new Trump Administration is ready to take
office. We plan to have a speaker to address this issue in our discussion
afterwards.
\n
\n
Please be advised that it will
be screened virtually and not at the church\, although that may happen la
ter in 2025.

This year
Sensible Cinema will suspend our annual tribute to MLK and instead screen
a timely film on a pending and highly dangerous policy\, that of Mass Depo
rtation by the incoming new Presidential Administration. We will still ho
nor Rev. King though by using his words on this topic as he was “A builder
of bridges\, not walls in fact you could say that his nonviolent leadersh
ip was all about tearing down walls – walls of racial segregation and sep
aration.”
\n
Dr. King’s work was also about righting
the wrongs on one of the darkest chapters of past American History\, Slave
ry. Our film this month\, Separated by filmmaker Errol Morris\, is
a hard hitting expose on another dark chapter of recent American History
that of Family Separation.
\n
Based on the b
ook “Separated: An Inside American Tragedy” by Jacob Sorboroff and throu
gh the skillful work of the filmmaker\, Morris\, the film merges bombshel
l interviews with government (turned whistleblowers) officials and a hear
t felt scenario tracing one migrant family’s predicament.
\n
With a looming Mass Deportation policy on the horizon and after vi
ewing this film viewers will see that the past and incoming Trump administ
ration’s inhumane immigration policies are nothing more than a state-spon
sored policy of cruelty which is their main purpose.
\n
After the screening there will be a Q&A discussion.

with music director Kev Choice.

\n
Black women singers are taking center stage at t
his year’s Living Jazz‘ In the Name of Love\, a tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.\, featuring the
music of legendary Grammy-award-winning artist Aretha Franklin.
\n
L
yz Luke\, the executive director of Living Jazz\, wanted Black women to be
prominent participants in this year’s show that takes place a few days be
fore the presidential inauguration. When planning the programming\, there
was uncertainty as to who would be next to occupy the White House\, but Lu
ke knew that regardless of the outcome\, the tribute artist had to be a Bl
ack woman.
\n\n
“The world needs that right now\, especially the United Sta
tes\, and the Bay Area. I did know that it was going to be inauguration we
ekend. I knew it would be poignant\, no matter which way we went\, that we
were picking a Black woman to be the artist we were paying tribute to\,”
Luke said. “I thought that was so beautiful given everything Aretha went t
hrough\, and her subtle and not-so-subtle ways of carving the path for fem
ale artists was something I want to have. And so on this lineup\, we kept
that spirit in mind.”
When: Saturday\, Ja
n. 18 \nWhere: Paramount Theatre \nTime
: 7 p.m. \nTickets
\n
\n
\n
Franklin was active in th
e Civil Rights Movement and community organizing from a young age\, helpin
g to fund civil rights organizations and performing at benefits and protes
ts. In 2017\, Franklin and other musicians declined to perform at Donald T
rump’s presidential inauguration as a form of protest.

One of th
e Black women artists performing is Dee Dee Simon\, an Oakland singer who gained national notoriety after landing in Amer
ica’s Got Talent’s top 10 finalists last year. Simon is also a nurse who h
as been working at San Quentin for the past two decades and is also the ca
regiver for her mother\, who suffers from Alzheimer’s.
\n
“Dee Dee ha
s a gift\,” Luke said. “It’s been inspiring to see her career take off\, e
specially being a woman in the industry that is typically focused on peopl
e in their teens and 20s. To see someone at her level of maturity take off
is huge. And I just want to give her her big moment on stage.”
\n
Si
mon was familiar with the show and was ecstatic when she got the call aski
ng to participate because she grew up listening to Aretha Franklin.
\n<
aside class='scaip scaip-2 '>\n
\n\n
\n
\n
“I thought being part of the show was out of my reach\,” Simon said.
“Aretha was about her business\, and that’s why her career had so much lon
gevity. So\, to be asked to be a part of it. I felt like this is going to
be my legacy. I was at the Paramount singing Aretha Franklin on Martin Lut
her King Jr. Day.”
\n
Simon was excited to get the opportunity to wor
k with Kev Choice\, someone she had wanted to meet\, as their artistic pat
hs had never crossed until now. She also looks forward to sharing the stag
e with all the other artists on the lineup.
\n
“To be able to sing at
the Paramount\, with my mom in the audience\, it’s so major for me\,” Sim
on said. “There’s so many talented women on the show\, and I’ve never met
them. It is so crazy to have so much talent in the Bay\, and not know ever
ybody who sings. So now I get to sit back and enjoy the women in front of
me who will be putting it down.”
\n
The program for the show also inc
ludes former congresswoman and current Oakland
mayoral candidate Barbara Lee presenting the 2025 Oakland Citizen Huma
nitarian Award to Andrew Park\, the executive director of Trybe. Park has been doing community work with
San Antonio\, Clinton\, and Little Saigon neighborhood residents for over
two decades.

Just a few weeks ago\, you signed
a petition in support of the lawsuit against California Congressmen compli
cit in genocide because you know it’s up to the people to hold politicians
accountable. I’m writing to you to give you the next steps!
In addition to California Congressmen Jared Huffman and Mike Thom
pson\, the lawsuit now includes both senators of California as well as Rep
resentative Nancy Pelosi and former U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin
. As more elected officials are added to the lawsuit\, more of us can hold
them accountable for using U.S. taxpayer dollars to fund genocide in Gaza
. That’s why it’s so important to join the webinar and s
how the number of people interested in the lawsuit!

SMALL IS BEAUTIFUL
\n
Sunday\, February 9\, 2025
\n
*Takes Place Live a
t the Church*
\n
12:30pm (PDT)
\n
\n
Small Is Beautiful by director/writer Carolyn M. Scott is a b
rief documentary on the all too familiar battle between massive urban dev
elopment (developers) versus communities (citizens) this time the battle t
akes place in the Valley of The Moon region\, a scenic rural area envelopi
ng the towns of Eldridge and Glen Ellen in Sonoma County. The proposed dev
elopment includes 930 homes\, 400\,000 square feet of commercial space and
a luxury resort hotel all to be built in a crucial wildlife corridor and
a high fire danger zone\, which has already experienced extreme fires.
\n
The film (25 mins. in length) examines oth
er significant urban scale developments planned for the Valley of the Moo
n and exposes the collusion between state mandates and profit driven deve
lopers. It also sheds light on the driving forces behind such developments
\, including new laws and housing mandates that replace local zoning and
environmental laws in the name of “Affordable Housing”– which we discove
r is not affordable at all.
\n
Following the
screening will be a discussion with Carolyn M. Scott Director/Writer and D
ennis Richards\, former Vice President of the San Francisco Planning Comm
ission and Stuart Flashman\, Public Interest Attorney and Biochemist.<

The 21st Anniversary of Marriage Equality: Now Wha

Wednesday\, February 12 \n6:0

\n
Commonwealth Club World Affairs of California \n110 The
Embarcadero \nTaube Family Auditorium \nSan Francisco\n
\nIt’s hard to believe that February 12\, 2025 marks the 21st a
nniversary of then-San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom sparked a ground-break
ing civil rights movement by legalizing same-sex marriage. In doing so\, h
e not only changed our nation’s view on life\, love\, and marriage but dem
onstrated the power of how a community can change discriminatory laws in i
ts pursuit of equality.\n
Join us for a timely anniversary celebrati
on and special screening of the award-winning film “Pursuit of Equality\,”
an emotionally charged film that puts a face on American citizens who str
ive for marriage equality. As the only film crew in the Mayor’s Chambers d
uring the most crucial of times\, this extraordinary film provides a telli
ng “fly-on-the-wall” view as this historic event unfolds. We will take a l
ook back at the pivotal case as many members of the LGBTQ community enter
2025\, questioning if their rights are protected under a new administratio
n. Some are asking what it will take to continue the fight for equality.\n
Speakers include Mark Leno\, KateKendell\, MabelTang\,
and filmmakers GeoffCallan & M
ikeShaw.

DESCRIPTION:
Amid Trump’s
war on immigrants\, the Department of Public Education\, Department of Ju
stice and agencies too numerous to name\, the President made one positive
move: calling for an end to the war in Ukraine. Trump told reporters he ha
d a “lengthy and highly productive” phone call with Russia’s Vladimir Puti
n\, during which the leaders agreed to “immediately” start negotiations to
end the war.
\n
The same day Trump and Putin spoke by phone\, the ne
w US Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth told America’s European allies\, “…we
must start by recognizing that returning to Ukraine’s pre-2014 borders is
an unrealistic objective. Chasing this illusionary goal will only prolong
the war and cause more suffering.”
\n
In remarks before a meeting of
the Ukraine Defense Contact Group at NATO Headquarters in Brussels\, Hegse
th said Kyiv joining NATO is “unrealistic” and hinted the US would no long
er pick up Ukraine’s security tab\, which is now at $175 billion. For the
Trump White House\, Ukraine is Europe’s headache. The new President has ot
her priorities\, namely sending ICE into schools\, churches and neighborho
ods to arrest immigrants\, and confronting China.
\n
Meanwhile\, Trum
p says he wants to restart nuclear arms control talks with Russia and Chin
a to cut nuclear budgets in half–a statement in a stark departure from Tru
mp’s withdrawal from nuclear arms control treaties in the past.
\n
Jo
in us as we discuss the outlines of a Putin-Trump-Zelinsky peace deal and
the possibility of denuclearization.
\n
Chat with peacemakers and exp

Medea is the cofounder of

meets with lawmakers to push for an end to the US proxy war in Ukraine.
\n
Nicolas is an independent journalist\, a researcher
with CODEPINK and the author of Blood on Our Hands: the American Inva
sion and Destruction of Iraq.
\n
Peter Kuznick

ve in the Civil Rights and anti-Vietnam War movements and remains active i
n antiwar and nuclear abolition efforts. In 1995\, he founded American Uni
versity’s Nuclear Studies Institute.
There is no question that it has
been a difficult start to this year and the new Trump administration — fro
m funding freezes to executive orders that have caused chaos across the co
untry. We must come together as a community to fight back\, which is why I
’d like to invite you to my Community Forum on Tuesday\,
February 18th. This is an opportunity to hear directly what I’m doing to f

Federal workers serve our communities every day\,
providing vital services that millions of Americans rely on. Instead of be
ing intimidated into “resigning” by the world’s richest man\, we’re going
to stand up and make our voices heard. On Wednesday\, February 19th\, join
fellow federal employees and community supporters across the country for
a Save Our Services day of action.
\n
Here’s how you can participate
in the Save Our Services day of action\, wherever you are:
\n
\n
On February 19th\, wear red\, white\, and/or blue
\n
If you’re a fe
deral worker\, take a group photo with your colleagues (or on your own!) w
ith signs about how your work benefits the public. If you’re a community s
upporter\, take a photo with a sign about how you benefit from federal ser
vices.
\n
Post your photos online with the hashtag #SaveOurServices
.
\n
Participate in (and help build) a local rally
\n
\n
Together\, we can stop Elon Musk and stand up for the vital services that
keep our nation running and protect the dedicated workers who provide them
. Whether you work at a VA hospital\, process Social Security benefits\, p
rotect our country\, or ensure food safety\, your work matters. Join us in
showing America what public service really means.
\n

r updates from the Federal Unionists Network about this day of action\, an

*** WHAT’S THE STORY: ********
**************************************
\n
In just days\, grassroots
organizers—without any budget\, centralized structure\, or official backi
ng—pulled off over 80 protests in all 50 states. This was an incredible fe
at of people power in action— now it’s time to turn up the pressure. Prote
st alone won’t stop authoritarianism. Building real power means organizing
together\, showing up for each other\, and taking strategic action. Join
us two weeks after the #50501 protests to channel this momentum into movem
ent-building. We’ll connect\, strategize\, and train with national organiz
ers* on how to take the next steps together. Whether this was your first p
rotest or your fiftieth\, this call is for you. Let’s turn this energy int
o action. Let’s #BuildTheResistance. For more information on who we are an
d this collective effort\, go to BuildTheResistance.org. —— *Organizing in real time: This rapi
d response has sparked serious interest from movement-shaping national org
anizations. We’re still finalizing who will facilitate the training\, but
trust that we’re in conversation with leaders who know how to turn moments
into movements.

Greetings\, Berniecrats!
\n
The time has come for u
s to decide on the future of our club\, many of whose successes over the p
ast nine years were born from your involvement. We thank you for your time
\, your work\, and your financial support\, all of which have made the Ber
niecrats synonymous with the progressive non-Democrat left in San Francisc
o.
\n
Alas\, these are challenging times\, for both progressivism wri
t large and our club specifically. We will be holding a special general me
mbership meeting on Wednesday\, February 19\, from 6:30-8:00 pm\, both in
person at 518 Valencia St. and via Zoom to discuss how we proceed as a clu
b.
At a meeting on Sunday\, the remaining e-board members voted unanimou
sly to recommend that we dissolve the Berniecrats given the challenges in
filling board seats and retaining—let alone growing—membership. The decisi
on to recommend dissolution also came after seeking input from past e-boar
d and other former members.
\n
Ultimately\, it’s your club\,
and its future is yours to decide. Following a moderated group discussion
\, we’ll send out ballots to members in good standing so you can vote on w
hether to dissolve the Berniecrats or pursue other options including a sca
led-back operation that focuses solely on publishing another one of our va
unted trilingual voter guides. It’s also not too late for members wishing
to continue the Berniecrats to help lead the club by stepping up and runni
ng for an e-board seat. Nominations are still open!
\n
If you’re rece
iving this email you’re invited to attend the meeting\, but only members i
n good standing can vote in the subsequent special election.
\n
We lo
ok forward to seeing you in person or online next Wednesday.
Our regular feature-len
gth film will take place this month\, as usual\, on the 3rd Friday of the
month. This month\, in keeping with African American History Month\, this
is another in the long list of buried stories in our history. Join us to
help bring this story to light to those who haven’t heard about it.
Wilmington on Fire<
/b> by director Chris Everett is a documentary that chronicles the Wilm
ington Massacre of 1898. It’s a little-known\, bloody attack on the Afric
an-American community of Wilmington\, North Carolina by a heavily armed wh
ite mob with the support of the North Carolina Democratic Party. This eve
nt was the spring board for the White Supremacy and Jim Crow movement thro
ughout the state of North Carolina and the American South.
\n
Featuring compelling interviews
with descendants of those who lived through the massacre\, the film sheds
light on a story that must be told and not forgotten. See the attached fl
yer.
\n
After the screening there wil
l be a Q&A discussion.
