Important dates for next few weeks

 Greetings. To paraphrase John Oliver, It has been a busy few weeks.

We are sharing a list of upcoming Actions, Trainings and Webinars we have been organizing and collaborating on.

You can go to two locations on our website.  

Below that - (at the bloom of this message) are a couple of ACTION ALERTS that we implore you to do right away!

1. Our webpage for online stuff here, and -- 
2. Our webpage for in person events and actions, here. (These are sometimes hybrid events but we strongly encourage direct participation.) 

Please take whatever precautions for your health you feel you should and PLEASE mask if you are sick (better yet, stay home and take care of yourself - we need you)

or use the online option if it is available.

Some of these are also available on our calendar

We hope you can take part in as many as you are able and spread the word to others.

ACTION ALERTS!!

# 1

Divest from Israel Bonds, stop funding genocide.

SIgn up for our campaign to divest Pennsylvania from Israel Bonds which help fund genocide in Gaza.

You can sign our petition here.

We are collaborating with a sister effort with Jewish Voice for Peace. You can sign their petition here.

# 2

And a new effort, Trump Watch, The Peace & Justice Edition

Since Trump is hard to pin down, this will be a moving target but ...

We pledge to do our best to respond and resist quickly and strategically as he continues to create chaos.

In particular, a real danger is this time he and his MAGA force are better organized. 

One urgent threat is a slew of really bad appointments as presidential advisors to head up the national security state.
