Come to the Abramson Family Founders Room, SIS Building, 4400 Massachusetts
Ave. NW, WDC, on Mon., Feb. 8 from 11 AM to noon for a discussion of the
Palestine/Israel issue. It is one of the most intractable conflicts in
history; failures of peace have been attributed to culture, religion, and
nationalism. While these factors are rooted in its history, modern-day dynamics
continue to impede the peace agreement. Palestinian Ambassador Maen Rashid
Areikat will provide insight into the successes and failures of peace
negotiations with Israel to explore these issues. The discussion will be
approached from a Palestinian perspective and will address the role of the U.S.
in addition to restrictions placed on the Palestinian Liberation Organization
Delegation to the U.S. Email Society for Peace and Conflict Resolution at spcr@american.edu. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/452348454973613/.

Go to the Adult Detention Center, 10520 Judicial Dr., Fairfax, VA on Mon., Feb.
8 at noon to demand justice for Natasha McKenna, who died Feb. 8, 2015 in a Fairfax
hospital days after being repeatedly tased while unclothed and restrained by
sheriff's deputies at Fairfax Adult Detention Facility. Over the summer,
Fairfax County police investigations concluded finding no fault with the six
officers directly involved. To date, no officers have been charged or fired for
Natasha's death and local government agencies and coalitions continue to call
her death an "accident," refusing to #SayHerName instead calling what
happened to Natasha "the incident at the ADC." Demonstrate
outside on Monday, February 8. We will be demonstrating for about an hour, with
signs calling attention to the lack of justice and reminding our community
about Natasha McKenna.
In the evening, All Saints Episcopal Church Sharon Chapel, 3421 Franconia Rd., Alexandria,
is hosting a vigil for justice for Natasha at 7 PM. The church is about a mile
from Huntington Metro. Email SURJnova@gmail.com
with your name and cell number if you can give a ride or need a ride.
25] – Come to the Senate
Building, Room 1, 11 Bladen St., Annapolis 21401, on Mon., Feb. 8 from
5 to 7:30 PM and join Chesapeake Climate Action Network for its first
regional lobby night bringing together Marylanders from across the state.
Converge on Annapolis to let you legislators know that THIS is the year to
stand up for wind, solar, and good green jobs -- and pass the Maryland Clean
Energy Jobs Acts. The event will include training and information
sessions before meeting with delegates and legislators so that lobbyists are
prepared. Go to http://org.salsalabs.com/o/423/p/salsa/event/common/public/?event_KEY=85235.

– Last fall, The Story of Stuff Project teamed up with
Trash Free Maryland to study plastic pollution in Chesapeake Bay. Trash Free
Maryland, Maryland League of Conservation Voters, and Blue Water Baltimore are
looking to pass a state law to prevent plastic bag pollution. Plastic bags,
though recyclable, are hardly ever recycled. That's because the market for
recycled content is way underwater. And as result, plastic bags litter our
waters, our streams, and are caught in trees. The price of convenience isn't
sustainable and it's not worth destroying our watersheds. Come to a Mardi Gras
Rally to kick off a Lenten fast from Plastic Bags and show the Maryland General
Assembly our support for the Bag Ban this legislative session on Tues., Feb. 9
from 9 to 11 AM in Lawyers Mall, 101 College Ave., Annapolis 21401. Go to https://act.myngp.com/forms/6955229751223060480?midqs=-3662833871935766528.
To
be continued.
Donations can be sent to
the Baltimore Nonviolence Center, 325 E. 25th St., Baltimore, MD 21218.
