SUMMARY:From Activists to Terrorists: How NSPM-7 Seeks to Use 'Domestic Terrorism' to Target Non-Profits and Activists
DESCRIPTION:WATCH LIVE\n \nSecret watchlists\, digital surveillance\, spurious investigations\, and the “terrorist” label: The government is using increasingly dangerous tools to intimidate and criminalize activists and organizations President Trump considers “the enemy within.” \nAnd the movement for climate justice is next. \nIn February\, the FBI visited members of Extinction Rebellion NYC and Attorney General Pam Bondi said Climate Defiance is under investigation.

Fisher – Director of the Center for Environment\, Community\, & Equity and Professor in the School of International Service at American University. \nEmile Ayoub – Senior Counsel of the @brennancenter Liberty and National Security Program \nRonald L. Kuby – Criminal defense and civil rights lawyer\, radio talk show host\, and television commentator \nMore Speakers TBA! \n>>>Register on Eventbrite

SUMMARY:Write for Rights with Amnesty USA Groups 9/280
DESCRIPTION:This Sunday\, join the Society and Amnesty USA Group 9/280 to do your part in Amnesty’s Write for Rights Campaign to demand President Biden use Pardons and Clemencies to Save Lives Before He Leaves Office! \nEvery year\, Amnesty International’s Write for Rights campaign brings together people from around the world to fight injustice and support people whose human rights are under threat\, and this year marks our 23rd year of writing for human rights. Every fall\, to mark International Human Rights Day on December 10th\, the campaign brings together people all over the world to help end cases of urgent human rights abuses. \nWe write letters to stop torture\, halt executions\, and free people unjustly detained—including prisoners of conscience—people jailed solely for the peaceful expression of their beliefs or identity. \nWe have heard over and over again from former prisoners of conscience\, human rights defenders\, torture survivors\, and death row prisoners that letters and online actions by Amnesty International activists as part of Write for Rights saved their lives and gave them hope. We also have heard from current and former government officials that our activism can change the minds of decision makers. \nEnvelopes\, stamps\, pens\, and prepared letters will be provided. Please bring your own return labels if you have them. \nLearn about how Write for Rights works. \nRead about the successes of Write for Rights 2023. \nCases of Concern in 2024\nAmnesty is especially concerned to continue to pressure President Biden to commute the death sentences of those on federal death row (about 40 men) and also to seek clemency for Leonard Peltier (who is subject of the Write for Rights 2024 among 9 others) and to seek clemency for Billie Allen \nAs Indigenous elder and activist Leonard Peltier approaches his 80th birthday on September 12\, Amnesty International USA has written a letter to President Biden again urging him to grant clemency for Peltier and to release him immediately. Peltier has been incarcerated for nearly 50 years despite serious and ongoing concerns about the fairness of his trial. Earlier this year Amnesty International USA asked the U.S. Parole Commission and the Bureau of Prisons to grant Peltier parole\, or compassionate release\, respectively which they denied. \nBillie Jerome Allen has been on federal death row for well over half his life. Now 45\, he was 19 at the time of the crime for which he was sentenced to death in 1998 despite racial bias affecting his case\, his age at the time of the crime\, and lack of evidence linking him to the crime. He is a prodigiously talented artist and his family has been working on his behalf for years in face of his unfair trial. \nLearn more about the other 2024 Write for Rights Campaign cases here. \nContact President Biden\nContact President Biden by email here: \nhttps://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ \nCall the White House directly by phone: \n+1 (202) 456-1111 during these hours only: 11am-3pm EST Tuesday-Thursday \n(Press 1 to record a message\, or hold to leave message with actual staff) \nSend a letter to the President (sample here): \nPresident Joseph R. Biden \nThe White House \n1600 Pennsylvania Avenue\, N.W. \nWashington\, DC 20500

SUMMARY:Dr. Cheryl Kunis: 'Beware of The Medical-Industrial Complex: Resisting the Monetization of Our Health Care System'
DESCRIPTION:The United States has the worst healthcare system among our peer countries. Why? Because our medical care\, and the insurance we rely on to pay for it\, have become massive businesses—that are only growing larger. \nThat medical-industrial complex now has its sights set on Medicare\, and many Americans don’t realize it. Their latest efforts are called Direct Contracting Entities and ACO Reach. But these companies’ plans go far beyond just Medicare\, and threaten Americans of all ages. \nBy working together\, we can stop these companies from monetizing every last bit of medical care in the United States. Join the New York Society for Ethical Culture’s Ethical Action Committee at this free educational webinar to learn what you can do to fight back. \nAbout Our Speaker: Dr. Cheryl Kunis \nCheryl L. Kunis\, M.D.\, M.S. strongly believes that medicine is an art\, a science\, and a humanitarian profession\, and should never be a for-profit business run by corporate America. Hoping to reintroduce humanism\, morality\, and justice into American healthcare\, she lectures on bioethical issues in nephrology\, the history of medicine\, health policy\, and healthcare reform. \nShe is currently Clinical Professor of Medicine Emerita at Columbia University\, Adjunct Clinical Professor of Medicine at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai\, and a member of the Mount Sinai Independent Physicians’ Association. She also serves as bioethicist for the Program to Increase Diversity among Individuals Engaged in Health-Related Research (PRIDE) at NYU and Downstate Medical Centers. Dr. Kunis is a Board Member of Community Impact at Columbia University\, winning The Dr. Maurice Russell Award in recognition of her outstanding commitment to public service. \nShe has been a Board member of Physicians for a National Health Program since 2014\, is director of their National Issues Working Group\, and received the PNHP Health Justice award in 2021. \nDr. Kunis’ goal is to educate the public and medical professionals to help create an equitable universal healthcare system in the US believing healthcare injustice is the greatest injustice of all. \nClick to join at start | Zoom ID 868 2488 0882

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - A Call to Action: Neighbors Creating Sanctuary
DESCRIPTION:“An optimist is a person who sees only the lights in the picture\, whereas a pessimist sees only the shadows. An idealist\, however\, is one who sees the light and the shadows but in addition sees something else: the possibility of changing the picture\, of making the lights prevail over the shadows.” -Felix Adler \nA child comes home from school and Mommy has been taken away… \nThe news about immigration these days is awful. Let us be optimists\, and see what we can do\, in our own neighborhoods to help immigrant families. As New Yorkers\, we value living in a vibrant and diverse community. What can we do to protect that? \nCome join Ethical NYC and Action Potluck/Sanctuary NYC to hear how one community in Washington Heights came together to make their neighborhood a true sanctuary for immigrant families living in their community. Learn how simple little actions can make a difference in the lives of neighbors seeking asylum and living under the fear of I.C.E. \nCome learn about: \n· The current crisis for immigrant families \n· What neighbors and local houses of workshop are doing to make our neighborhoods sanctuaries \n· How you can make a difference in the lives of neighbors seeking asylum. \nWho we are: A Coalition of Faith Communities & Local Activists \nWe believe that if our country will not be a sanctuary\, and our state will not\, then we will make our neighborhoods safe for all of us\, one by one. Action Potluck/Sanctuary Neighborhoods in Washington Heights\, New York City\, is a coalition of grassroots activists in collaboration with our local Houses of Worship in an effort to support families and keep our diverse communities whole. The situation is constantly changing\, but our goal is clear: to provide direct support to harmed families. \n“Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality\, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly\, affects all indirectly.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.\, Letter from the Birmingham Jail \n\nACTION POTLUCK in Washington Heights\, NYC is a coalition of grassroots activists who are working with local houses of worship working to keep our diverse communities safe and whole. Because if our country will not be a sanctuary\, and our state will not\, then we will have to make our neighborhoods safe for all of us\, one by one.
