SUMMARY:No New Women's Prison! Moratorium Committee Hearing
DESCRIPTION:Join Families for Justice as Healing and The National Council for Incarcerated and Formerly Incarcerated Women and Girls at the MA State House on Tuesday May 13 at 1pm in A2 as the Prison Moratorium bill will be heard before committee. FJAH and The National Council are encouraging as many people as possible to come whether or not you choose to testify.  If you’d like to testify\, you can do so in person or virtually. This is the ONLY hearing the bill will receive this legislative session\, so we need to pack the hearing room! \nSign up to testify! \nEveryone is also welcome to submit written testimony. Here is the toolkit for all information regarding submitting testimony\, including templates: tinyurl.com/moratoriumtoolkit \nWant support preparing your testimony for the hearing? Join a prep party Monday 5/12 at 6pm on Zoom! \nThis bill would pause the process of designing and building a $50 million women’s prison among other massive construction projects so our state will have to shift its focus on further reducing the number of people in jail and prison and implement alternatives before building anything new. Our communities need and deserve public dollars for housing\, healthcare\, and treatment – not jail and prison construction! Visit the Free Her Campaign for more information on the bill. \nIN-PERSON/VIRTUAL TESTIMONY REGISTRATION: Legislators\, public officials\, and the public must register to provide oral testimony. To register to testify virtually or in-person\, please provide the contact information requested in this form by 4:00 PM on Friday\, May 9. Once registered\, you will receive further instruction on how to participate virtually. \nWRITTEN TESTIMONY: Written testimony can be submitted via email to Svetlana Yefimenko at svetlana.yefimenko@mahouse.gov or Riley Nichols at riley.nichols@masenate.gov.

SUMMARY:"The Encampments" Screening and Discussion
DESCRIPTION:Purchase tickets to attend. \n \nMAPA invites you to a screening of The Encampments\, a new film by Michael T. Workman\, followed by discussion. The first months of the second Trump administration have signaled a shift from derision and misrepresentation of the movement for justice in Palestine to active state suppression. The very Universities that at best barely tolerated and at worst violently dismantled student protest movements are now themselves being threatened with loss of grants\, funding\, tax-exempt status\, and other privileges\, for not being brutal enough in their response to peace activists. In addition to pursuing all possible legal avenues to dissuade vocal opposition to America’s active involvement in an ongoing genocide\, the administration is creating an atmosphere of fear by abducting individuals active in the movement off the streets of so-called “sanctuary cities” in broad daylight and renditioning them to other states in an effort to expel them from the country. These actions must not break our will\, but strengthen our resolve. It is in this spirit that we present this timely and vital film. \nAbout the Film: When a group of students at Columbia University in New York launch a movement protesting the war in Gaza\, they spark a nationwide uprising in solidarity with the people of Gaza. Encampments spring up at hundreds of campuses as students object to their own university’s investment in the US and Israeli arms industry. Featuring detained student activist Mahmoud Khalil\, The Encampments takes viewers inside America’s student uprising with incredible intimacy and urgency. Professors\, whistleblowers\, and student activists shed light on a moment that captivated the nation’s attention and continues to make headlines today. \nDiscussion after screening with student/s who participated in encampments. \nFeel free to bring snacks to share. \nDirections to the venue. \nPurchase tickets to attend. \n \nSponsored by MAPA\, cosponsored by the MA Justice for All Party\, Alliance for Water Justice in Palestine\, CD8 for Palestine\, Jewish Voice for Peace Boston\, Northshore for Palestine\, Palestine House of New England\, and Party for Socialism and Liberation.

SUMMARY:Concord 250 Outreach
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Concord250 Planning Committee of the Arise & Resist Coalition \nWe are planning an anti-authoritarian outreach event at Concord250 on Saturday\, April 19\, a commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution. Thousands—potentially hundreds of thousands—will gather for a parade\, drone show\, and other local happenings throughout the day. Invitations have been extended to notable figures such as Donald Trump and King Charles III. \nThis will be a great opportunity to make a stand in front of a mass audience and appeal to attendees who are interested in joining local organizations for change. Our plan is to distribute handouts that feature shocking statistics and a list of local organizations working to resist or combat the issues at hand. \nOur core message is resisting the rise of authoritarianism in the United States led by extremist right-wing billionaires. We want to draw folks’ attention with anti-authoritarian sentiments that are widely agreed upon\, and then encourage participation in local groups/organizations that are fighting back and assisting communities in need. \nWe will meet at the Concord rail station at 1:30 for orientation.  Volunteers will then fan out in the area to distribute brochures and talk to attendees.  Meet back at the rail station at 4:00 to debrief.  Be sure to sign up to get full information\, do not just show up in Concord without contacting organizers ahead of time.   Do not drive to Concord without a parking plan. \nSign up here

SUMMARY:To Win Our Survival: Building the Next Era of our Movements
DESCRIPTION:In this interactive workshop\, facilitators Daisy Carter and Rebecca Harris from The Climate Mobilization Project will invite participants to reflect on the moment we’re in\, and where movements for peace and climate justice can go from here. Building on Climate Mobilization Project’s work with food sovereignty\, mutual aid\, climate justice and anti-war groups in Kentucky and Virginia\, we will share tools for participants to explore their role in supporting survival programs that expand access to climate disaster preparedness\, food\, care\, and more while growing movements for climate\, economic\, and racial justice. \nSurvival programs are a bold new approach to growing movements that have enough people power to fight back.Groups across the U.S. have come together to build a mass grassroots movement with the power and resources to win our survival. We are growing this movement by organizing people into grassroots projects that grow a regenerative economy and culture; expand food\, energy\, water\, and land access and sovereignty; and fight back together against the systems that threaten our lives and communities. \n \n  \nDaisy Carter (she/they) is a New Orleans native\, queer multi-disciplinary artist\, yogi and climate justice organizer working at the intersections of mutual aid\, disaster resiliency\, African-American herbalism\, and grassroots organizing. Daisy is inspired by the black radical movements of the so-called U.S and African diaspora\, reimagining what healing + self-determination look like for frontline\, BIPOC (black\, brown\, and people of color) communities who are most vulnerable to climate disaster. For the past few years\, they have been organizing around mutual aid\, environmental + climate justice\, and building BIPOC and marginalized leadership throughout Kentucky. In 2021\, they founded Rise and Shine\, a community-led mutual aid organization building power and solidarity with low-income\, BIPOC\, LGBTQ+\, and other marginalized communities in Bowling Green\, Kentucky and beyond. She has also led numerous political campaigns\, direct actions\, and led outreach + communications strategy for organizations such as The Sierra Club\, Kentuckians for the Commonwealth\, and the Poor People’s Campaign: A National Call for a Moral Revival. At the Climate Mobilization\, she is supporting programming\, the development of the Movement Incubation Program\, and the creation of climate survival projects. \nRebecca Harris (she/her) is Resource Organizing Director and Co-Leader at Climate Mobilization Project. She first began organizing at age 16 during the movement to end the U.S. wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. After years of organizing for economic justice and housing rights\, she joined Climate Mobilization Project as Organizing Director\, a role in which she coached dozens of local climate groups\, launched the campaign for a national Climate Emergency Declaration\, and supported the organization in its increasing focus on racial and economic justice and anti-militarism. Rebecca previously worked as a journalist covering equity in Chicago public schools and as the Development and Communications Manager at Latino Union of Chicago\, an immigrants’ and workers’ rights organization. She is a 2017 graduate of the Reframe Mentorship in strategic communications. \n \nRegister to attend.

Register and select the option you like! The event is sponsored by Community Church of Boston and Massachusetts Peace Action. Thank you and we hope to see you there. \nParking is available at the Back Bay Garage\, with entrances at 85 St. James Ave. and 199 Clarendon St. Community Church of Boston can validate so parking is only $8! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the book:\n\n\nBased on dramatic first-hand evidence\, Deadly Betrayal uncovers why and how a cabal of Pentagon Advisors in the George W. Bush Administration created a fabricated justification to attack Iraq. \nThe book provides a detailed insider account of how a Pentagon cabal strategized to manipulate intelligence\, pressure the United Nations\, force a Congressional authorization for the use of force through political threats\, and scare the American people after 9/11 into supporting an attack on Iraq. \nAuthored by a Pentagon insider and senior enlisted leader of nearly three decades standing\, Command Chief Master Sergeant\, Retired\, Dennis Fritz worked directly for and advised some of the most senior General Officers in the Department of Defense. They included General Richard B. Myers\, who served as Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff during the height of the Iraq War. After military retirement\, Fritz found himself inside Donald Rumsfeld’s Pentagon working for Douglas Feith\, the Under Secretary of Defense for Policy and key architect of the case for war. He was detailed to the Pentagon as a contracted Research Fellow and Analyst on a special project to gather and review all Iraqi Pre-War Planning Documents for declassification. His access to thousands of personal handwritten notes\, documents\, and Pentagon’s internal conversations\, has allowed him to tell the real story of why America invaded Iraq. \n“This book is an actual act of service. It will help many people\, including veterans\, connect the dots to explain this century’s American wars and give them further permission to ask tough and uncomfortable questions.”\n—Matthew Hoh\, former Marine Corps officer and Iraq War veteran who resigned his State Department position in Afghanistan over that war’s 2009 escalation. \n“I have known Dennis Fritz for three decades and served with him for many of those years. As my senior enlisted advisor in several commands\, I benefited from his sound counsel. While I do not agree with some of his conclusions in this book . . . I respect Dennis and was always proud to serve alongside him.”\n—General Richard Myers\, Former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff \n“Sooner rather than later\, in my view\, historians will write the complete and accurate history of these disastrous wars from start to finish\, and sordid will it be. Alas\, however\, as with most history that is as accurate as humans can make it\, those guilty of the crimes and ravages it inevitably encompasses\, will have escaped all but a divine providence’s justice. This book at least will perhaps disturb their present comfort. It does mine.”\n—From the Foreword by Larry Wilkerson\, former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell
