SUMMARY:Just Sustainabilities in Policy\, Planning\, and Practice Webinar
DESCRIPTION:In his talk\, Julian will outline the concept of just sustainabilities as a response to the ‘equity deficit’ of much sustainability thinking and practice. He will explore his contention that who can belong in our cities will ultimately determine what our cities can become. He will illustrate his ideas with examples from urban planning and design and the ‘Minneapolis Paradox’  that shows that green doesn’t mean socially just \nSpeaker : \nJulian Agyeman Ph.D. FRSA FRGS is a Professor in the Department Urban and Environmental Policy and Planning\, a Secondary Professor at The Friedman School of Nutrition Science and Policy\, and is the Fletcher Professor of Rhetoric and Debate\, an endowed professorship at Tufts University in Medford\, Massachusetts\, USA.

SUMMARY:Cuba After Castro
DESCRIPTION:Film showing with talk back and discussion. \nNBC and Kristen Welker made popular headlines with their interview of Cuban President Miguel Diaz-Canal Bermudez and cynical questions such as “will you step down”\, also claiming their interview was “first” and “exclusive”. \nBut just days before Welker and NBC came  Abby Martin\, Matt Belen and Breakthrough News with an interview with Pres Diaz-Canal revealing who he actually is and represents and what actually is going on in Cuba. \nThe film chronicles Diaz-Canel’s formation as the first and to some an unexpected successor to the Castros — an unassuming organizer molded by the revolutionary process\, the first leader born after the Cuban Revolution. Confronting a perfect storm of intensified U.S. sanctions\, a media war\, a devastating pandemic\, and historic domestic protests. Díaz-Canel reflects on navigating these existential crises for the nation he has come to lead.  \nThrough his eyes and words we see a vision of revolutionary Cuba that you don’t get in the US press: a nation of collective values and defiance in the face of constant threats from the United States.  \nAfter sold out viewings in California and New York\, Massachusetts Peace Action will show this film in Cambridge May 29\, 7:00 pm in Cambridge.

SUMMARY:Organizing for Progressive Leadership in CD1
DESCRIPTION:Those of us in CD1 have long been trying to figure out how to replace Rep. Richard Neal with someone who actually is progressive\, who actually will respond to at least some of our agenda\, who actually will meet with us and listen to us. Several candidates whom we have backed have tried to do this over the last decade. We have not so far succeeded. \nSo now we have another chance. With Jeromie Whalen. We are sure that you already know about him and probably are backing him. \nWe in Massachusetts Peace Action\, the whole board\, voted to endorse Jeromie\, and now we are trying to figure out how we can help make sure he wins the September primary. We want to ask you to come to a meeting. Yes\, another meeting – June 2 at 7 pm\, via zoom.  We are reaching out to you\, our MAPA members in CD1 and our best and most progressive buddies in W. Mass and CD1\, to talk with us as to what we in MAPA can do with you to push Jeromie forward to victory. \nWe have a few ideas: Houseparties in different parts of the CD. Joining the campaign in doorknocking\, taking voter registration forms with us. Making sure there are house signs everywhere. Donating. But we actually would like to ask for your help to help us figure out where we  can make the most difference. \nWill you join us? \n
