SUMMARY:Is Ukraine Headed for Peace or Nuclear War?
DESCRIPTION:The proxy war being waged in Ukraine carries the ever-present danger of escalating into a nuclear conflict. Russia is winning the war on the battlefield. Ukraine’s army is decimated\, its economy gutted\, and its environment devastated. Hundreds of thousands have been killed or wounded. Either the war will end at the negotiating table\, with some kind of peace agreement\, or the West will decide to escalate along a path of ever greater and more direct confrontation with Russia. What are the decisions – past\, present\, and future – that could lead us to World War III? \nOn the one hand\, the West’s policies – of encouraging the expansion of NATO\, withdrawing from crucial nuclear treaties\, stationing nuclear-capable missiles in Romania and Poland\, assisting Ukraine’s drone attacks on Russia’s early-warning radar systems and nuclear-capable bombers\, allowing the use of NATO countries’ long-range missiles to strike deep within Russia – are headed for  disaster. On the other hand\, Russia has adopted a new doctrine that declares it could carry out nuclear attacks in response to any attack on its territory by a non-nuclear state backed by a nuclear armed power. … Where will it end? \nVeteran defense policy analyst Richard Krushnic will examine multiple scenarios in which this war could end\, either in peace or in Armageddon. \nRichard Kruschnic writes about military corporate influence over U.S. foreign policy\, the Ukraine War and Raytheon Technologies. He continues to be involved in the community development financing in Cambridge\, MA\, and Nicaragua.  In addition to the Ukraine Committee\, he works with MAPA’s Nuclear Disarmament and Latin America and Caribbean working groups\, and Mass Public Banking. \nRegister for this event: \n \nSponsored by Ukraine: A Time for Peace\, a priority campaign of Massachusetts Peace Action.

SUMMARY:Justice 4 All Thursdays
DESCRIPTION:Via Turn Purple 2 Blue:\n\nGreater Assabet Indivisible Network (GAIN) invites you to stand in solidarity with immigrants and resistance to ICE and their cruel and lawless detention of our neighbors Thursdays from 11am-1pm. Regardless of any other political views\, you are welcome to join us and demand Justice 4 All so long as you do so non-violently. \nOur friends at Bearing Witness have been hosting gatherings at this location for many weeks. We are an unaffiliated group\, but very much aligned with their values and mission. Our goal is to add to the total number of hours that citizens stand in non-violent opposition to the deplorable detainment conditions at this location. If you have been to Bearing Witness on Wednesdays\, we would love to have you at Justice 4 All Thursdays. \nSchedule (Starting Thursday\, September 4 – more dates to follow) \n11:00-11:30 Welcome; music; announcements\n11:30-12:30 Stand with signs along District Ave\n12:30-1:00 Optional short march down to Mall Rd. \nWhat happens at this ICE office? \nICE personnel depart from District Ave. in unmarked vans with tinted windows on missions to abduct immigrants across New England. Immigrants may also show up at the office for appointments. The facility on District Ave was never intended to be a detention center\, yet immigration lawyers and media interviews reveal that people are now being housed here in conditions that have been called “abysmal” and “unsanitary.” \nWhat to expect at Justice 4 All? \nWe are committed to nonviolence\, and we stand peacefully with signs outside the facility. We do not block the entrance\, we do not physically approach ICE agents as they walk to/from the parking lot\, and we do not block traffic on District Ave. \nSigns \nThis is a very targeted action outside the ICE facility\, so it’s not the venue for protesting other causes. Even though we care deeply about other issues\, while outside ICE we must remain focused on immigration.  \nParking and other tips \nFor parking\, please use the Macy’s overflow lot (75 Burlington Mall Road\, follow signs for Macy’s\, see map). For those with mobility challenges\, please keep in mind that the lots closest to ICE — the FAA lot beside ICE and the BAE Systems lot directly across the street from ICE — have both been blocked off. There are restaurants nearby (Clover\, Pressed Cafe\, Chipotle) to get food and use the bathroom. Before arriving\, please consider your own self-preservation (citizenship status) and self-care (sunscreen\, hydration\, etc.)

SUMMARY:Music for Peace: The Formosa Duo
DESCRIPTION:Join us on October 25th for a classical music experience! Music for Peace is delighted to present Cello Balm by The Formosa Duo. Cellist Sam Ou and pianist Chi-Chen Wu will soothe and excite your spirit with music by Schumann\, stir up some intense action with Barber\, and sing to your soul with Rachmaninoff. \nThis year has been full of trials and tribulations for our global community\, to say the least. Let us join together in our shared love of music\, which can certainly be a balm for such troubling times. Cello Balm\, as its name suggests\, is a concert that will focus on the cello front and center. \nAbout the Musicians: \nSince earning their respective doctorate of musical arts degrees from the New England Conservatory of Music (NEC)\, pianist Chi-Chen Wu and cellist Sam Ou have been collaborating as the Formosa Duo for over two decades.

They have collectively participated in music festivals including Aspen\, Tanglewood\, Sarasota\, Musicorda\, Santa Fe\, La Jolla\, and Monadnock. \nThe Cello Balm concert will play about 60 minutes worth of music\, with comments from the musicians between pieces\, and an intermission of about 15 minutes. Reception will follow. \nProgram: \nRobert Schumann (1810-1855): Adagio and Allegro in A-Flat Major\, Op. 70 \nSamuel Barber (1910-1981): Sonata for Cello & Piano\, Op. 6\n1.
