South African Indigenous peoples — the Khoi and San — have battled colonialism for over 500 years. The area is a source of pride and cultural heritage, which also survived decades of oppression under apartheid. The earliest to inhabit that land, the Khoi and San people are now facing a huge challenge to their right to existence — they\u2019re up against Amazon. Amazon is <\/em>currently developing<\/a> a new 70,000-square meter facility — an African headquarters for U.S. retail giant.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Friday, 11:00am \u2013 1:30pm, Stop Funding Fossil Fuels @ Wells Fargo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In-person<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wells Fargo Global Hq.
420 Montgomery St.
SF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wear masks \/ social distancing<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wells Fargo is the #1 funder worldwide of fracked oil and gas, the #2 US funder of the Line 3 pipeline currently being fought in Minnesota and the #3 private bank overall for funding fossil fuels. In a time when those supporting fossil fuels want you to give up hope, to believe that there is no point in taking action, that we are too late: we heed the call to RESIST … to rise up and ACT NOW for the hope of a better future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Join us at the Wells Fargo world headquarters in San Francisco for the kickoff of a new round of actions demanding Wells shifts away from funding fracking and tar sands — and into clean energy and the green economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the wake of record wildfires, hurricanes, heatwaves and drought this summer, we need to send a strong message to \u201cWELLS FRACKO\u201d that they\u2019ve gone too far. To empower anyone not willing to wait for their bank to clean up its act, we’ll be educating Wells customers about ways to move their money into credit unions or good green banks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Banks are sensitive to the sentiment of their customers, so let\u2019s make some noise and let the customers and employees of Wells know that they need to FORGO FRACKING, cancel funding for Line 3 and make measurable commitments to divesting their portfolio from planet-heating, ecosystem-destroying, treaty-violating fossil fuels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SCHEDULE:
11:00 am \u2014 protest and public outreach in front of Wells Museum on Montgomery St., and the Wells HQ entrance on California St, join us for carnival games illustrating how Wells\u2019 investments have been fueling climate disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12:00 pm \u2014 campaign kickoff in front of Wells HQ on Montgomery with speakers, a \u201cNever Wells Again\u201d banking pledge and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Friday, 6:30pm \u2013 8:30pm, Abortion Rights Film on Zoom:  \u201cReversing Roe\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online \u2013 Zoom link:  https:\/\/us02web.zoom.us\/j\/81483938785?pwd=aS9iYUs2VUxwU3c4d1RnSGNsNURFZz09<\/a> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meeting ID: 814 8393 8785 Passcode: 215376<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“Reversing Roe”, looks at the 1973 Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision establishing the legality of abortion in America through clips and interviews. It brings us up to date with what has happened to chip away at women\u2019s control of their own bodies. The film casts us into today\u2019s political battles and into the future. The right to an abortion is argued, pro-and-con from both sides. The film takes the viewer from the operating room to the court room by way of the streets on a very stimulating trip.

The film was directed by Rickie Stern and Anne Sundberg. It premiered in 2018 and was nominated for the Emmy\u2019s Outstanding Politics and Government Documentary Award. Reversing Roe can leave one astonished at the importance the abortion has in America. Perhaps it defines political polarization in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

7. Saturday, 10:00am \u2013 3:00pm (PT); 1:00pm-6:00pm (ET), <\/strong>: National Summit for Human Rights & Democracy in the Philippines<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Online registration: National Summit for Human Rights and Democracy in the Philippines Tickets, Sat, Sep 18, 2021 at 10:00 AM | Eventbrite<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  -Sliding scale $5 – $20<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The National Summit aims to bring together all individuals and organizations who care about human rights, democracy and sovereignty in the Philippines together and build unities towards ensuring the end of the Duterte regime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With less than one year left in office, the fascist Duterte regime is growing even more desperate to cling to power. Duterte is actively maneuvering to circumvent the constitutional limitations on presidential term by running for Vice President. Meanwhile, human rights violations continue and attacks against activists escalate. The Philippines is at its worst economic situation since World War 2. Persistent attacks on progressive groups with the Anti-Terror Law. Growing number of political prisoners. Assassination of human rights defenders, activists, and peace panel members. The list of Duterte\u2019s crimes against the Filipino people goes on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National Summit will be an opportunity to learn about the worsening situation in the Philippines, and to unite on ways to collectively take action in this critical election year from abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National Summit will feature keynote speakers and messages from the Philippines and the United States, as well panels and workshops covering a variety of issues and campaigns from different organizations<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Nearly 20 years after President George W. Bush made countries like Afghanistan, North Korea, Iran and Iraq targets of his administration\u2019s \u201cWar on Terror,\u201d what has been the impact of US militarized policy on the people of these countries and on those living in the United States? What is the Biden administration\u2019s policy towards these countries, and what would a truly feminist foreign policy look like?

      13. Tuesday, 4:00pm \u2013 6:00pm, War Is Killing the Planet \/ International Day of Peace<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Rep. Nancy Pelosi\u2019s house (outside)
      2640 Broadway St.
      SF<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      “War is Literally Killing the Planet”. The war economy is brought to you by these players: Speaker Nancy Pelosi, BlackRock Worldwide Investments, Lockheed Martin, and Chevron, and you and I bought front row seats. We’re funding it.

      Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s majority in Congress siphons over 50% of our federal budget to fund the skyrocketing costs of war and Pentagon operations with their huge greenhouse gas emissions. Pelosi insists on spending our money on continual wars and refuses to support Medicare for All, a Green New Deal, affordable housing, education, elder and child care, clean water, air, and food — the things that give life and peace a chance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
