Defuse Nuclear War Informational Picket- Dallas
2022-10-14 15:00 - 17:00 (America/Chicago) | JP Morgan Chase Building, 1881 Sylvan Ave, Dallas, TX, 75208, United States
As part of Defuse Nuclear War’s national call to action, Dallas will answer the call to join cities across the country to say NO to NUKES! Join us as we gather in front of Representative Marc Veasey’s office for an informational picket about the dire need to defuse nuclear war!
WHEN: Friday, October 14, 3:00 – 5:00pm
WHERE: Meet in front of the JP Morgan Chase Building, 1881 Sylvan Ave in Dallas
The dangers of nuclear war have increased sharply this year, but very few members of the House and Senate have risen to the occasion by speaking out or publicly urging measures to de-escalate tensions between nuclear powers and seriously revive negotiations for nuclear-weapons treaties and disarmament measures. Picket lines across the U.S. on Friday, October 14 (the last weekday before the 60th anniversary of the start of the Cuban Missile Crisis) present an opportunity for concerned individuals and groups in every congressional district to visibly convey their concerns. In keeping with the realities of the current emergency circumstances — e.g., the ongoing war in Ukraine, tensions over Taiwan, and the overall deterioration of relations between major nuclear powers –emphasis will be on actions that the U.S. government should take now to reduce the present-day risks of nuclear war. In the House of Representatives, we will support the People Over Pentagon Act, H.R.8040.
Initiated by the Nuclear Free World Committee of the Dallas Peace and Justice Center.

Protest for removal of CSA statue (please read description)
2022-10-23 17:00 - 19:00 | Cooke County Courthouse, 101 S Dixon St, Gainesville, TX, 76240, United States
Join us at 5:30 as we continue to protest for the removal of the Confederate statue on the Cooke County lawn.
Commissioners have refused to take action on this item even though they acknowledge the words inscribed are a disgrace to our community.
In October of 1862, the confederacy launched an attack and the greatest massacre occurred. This statue has been a spit in the face to the descendants who live in the community to this day.
This is not cancel culture or trying to remove history. This is about making right of a wrong that happened over 100 years ago. The confederacy launched an attack on our city, yet honored at the county courthouse. The confederacy also said in its cornerstone speech that the black man was lesser to the white man. This was their foundation. It speaks so loudly by the words inscribed. “No nation rose so white and fair, none fell so pure of crime”. This is also about having those who have wronged our community and the black human race not be memorized as great hero’s.
Ask your commissioners, and join us in the fight, to remove the confederate participation trophy from our lawn.

Philippine Labor Fights Back!
2024-02-04 18:00
From the International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP):

Join us for a webinar on US-backed counterinsurgency in the Philippines and its impacts on the Philippine labor movement and workers struggles under the Marcos Jr. Regime. We will be joined by speakers from Kilusang Mayo Uno, a labor center in the Philippines promoting genuine, militant and patriotic trade unionism.

Sunday, February 4th
4:00pm PT | 6:00pm CT | 7:00pm ET
Register: tinyurl.com/phlaborwebinar

Repression against workers organizing in the Philippines continues to heighten under President of the Philippines Ferdinand Marcos Jr. A joint report published by the International Labor Organization and Trade Unions in the Philippines highlights recorded violations of international labor standards and rights including cases of state interference with the right to self organize through extrajudicial killings, forced disappearances, illegal arrest and detention, threats and intimidation, and terror tagging of labor leaders. While workers in both the US and the Philippines are suffering from low wages and poverty, unstable employment, understaffing, inhumane working conditions and attacks on the right to unionize, we must strengthen our solidarity between the workers of our countries and our shared fight for workers rights across the world!
