SUMMARY:Rally to Close Monticello Nuclear Plant!
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 21\, 2024\, 4:00-5:00 PM\, Xcel Energy\, 401 Nicollet Mall\, Minneapolis\, MN \nUPCOMING RALLY ✊☮️🌎! Close Monticello Nuclear Plant! \nWe oppose Xcel Energy’s request to extend\, for 20 more years\, the current operating license of Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant. The plant on the Mississippi River\, 35 miles northwest of Minneapolis\, is 53 years old\, already among the three oldest in the United States. Recent radioactive leaks at the reactor pose serious threats to public health\, the Mississippi River\, and drinking water for millions. \nTell Xcel to shut down the ancient Monticello Nuclear Generating Plant! \nOrganized by Coalition For a Nuclear-Free Mississippi River\, WAMM\, and Indigenous Earth Protectors \n++++++++++++++++++++++++++ \n⚠️ Sign the Petition to Demand 2030 Monticello Nuclear Reactor Closure ⚠️ \nPlease take one minute to sign a petition demanding to keep the Monticello Nuclear Reactor’s 2030 closure date as Xcel Energy seeks to run its 53 year-old reactor for another 20 years! \nA massive leak at the reactor in 2022 released radioactivity into the Mississippi River and contaminated the groundwater beneath the reactor with levels of radioactive tritium 250 times greater than the EPA’s safe drinking water limit. \nPlease share this widely. Help us reach one million signatures by the end of this year\, before the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission issues its decision to keep this reactor operating! \nSign the petition at MoveOn.org: https://sign.moveon.org/petitions/petition-for-a-nuclear-free-mississippi-river \nAdditional resources and sources can be found at: SavetheMississippi.com and nukewatchinfo.org. To join the coalition contact Kelly at nukewatchinfo.org \n++++++++++++++++++++

SUMMARY:November MEPN Forum
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, November 30\, 2024\, 10:00 – 11:30 AM\, Online\, click here to register \nNina’s Story: The Life of a Palestinian Woman\n\nAbout the speaker: Nina Cullers was born in Katamon\, West Jerusalem during the British Mandate. After the Nakba her family lived in Bethlehem. After high school Nina worked for UNRWA in Hebron\, the Dheisheh Camp outside of Bethlehem and Beit Safafa. Her work was as a teacher\, head teacher and finally as a supervisor of practice teachers. Nina then went on to earn a degree in education from Beirut Women’s College\, now American Lebanese University. Nina now resides in Virginia in the United States. She has been a board member of the Bethlehem Association of the Episcopal Church for 26 years. Additionally\, she continues advocacy work for Palestine. She recently published her memoir\, “Living Through the Nakba: Tales of a Palestinian Youth.” \nNina’s memoir\, “Living Through the Nakba: Tales of a Palestinian Youth” is just the beginning of her lifelong experiences as a Palestinian woman. Travel with her through her life in our forum.  Children and her Palestinian heritage are very important to Nina. In her memoir she says\, “Teach them (children) our tradition\, our art\, our songs\, our poetry and remind them that they came from honorable\, brave people who cared for humanity.”’ Her work with children began with teaching in UNRWA schools. After the 1949 Armistice her family came to the realization that they had no home to go to. Share this experience with Nina. Come with her to the present day as we hear her say\, “I urge all Palestinians to remember our past\, our history\, our family values and to instill these values in our children.” \nToward the end of the forum we will have a conversation with Nina about parallels between her life experiences and what is happening to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza today. \nNOTE: A brief annual MEPN meeting will be held for a few minutes before our forum begins. It will feature a message from our president\, Janet Tollund\, along with finance and membership updates. An election for new board members will conclude the meeting. \nPlease contact mepn@mepn.org with any questions. Organized by Middle East Peace Now\, sponsored by WAMM Middle East Committee

SUMMARY:Green Party Webinar on Climate and the Military
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, December 9\, 2024\, 7:00 PM CST\, Online webinar\, Click here to register \n“Green Party Webinar on Climate and the Military – Mon. Dec. 9” \nOn Monday\, December 9\, at 8 PM (EST) the EcoAction Committee and the Green Party Peace Action Committee are holding a webinar on the issue of the military and climate change. Speakers will include Haig Hovaness of GPAX; Prof. David Schwartzman of EcoAction; and Sue Ann Martinson of the End Military Madness Against the Earth Committee of WAMM (Women Against Military Madness). Pre-registration is required. RSVP Here. \nThe military impacts climate change in multiple ways. War and military conflicts are environmental and climate disasters. Severe weather events and global warming destabilize countries\, especially those with already unstable governments and under-resourced infrastructure. The competition for land\, water\, and food\, as well as dealing with potentially tens of millions of climate refugees (including many already coming to the US)\, increases the likelihood of military conflicts between countries. \nThe global military\, with the Pentagon in the lead\, has been the biggest greenhouse gas emissions of any institution on the planet\, representing between 1 to 5% of annual emissions.  The $2 trillion spent on the military worldwide diverts resources that could be spent on climate action instead. And many wars are fought over access to fossil fuels. \nThe Green Party Peace Action Committee (GPAX) works to strengthen the peace pillar of the USGP. GPAX supports peace actions\, produces anti-war webinars\, issues public statements\, and assists GP candidates for political office. GPAX welcomes new members who wish to participate in this work.

SUMMARY:Pack the Room to Demand Divestment!
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, December 10\, 2024\, 9:30 AM\, 50 Sherburne Avenue (Conference Room 116B)\, St Paul\, MN \nThe MN State Board of Investment attempted to prevent us from protesting their meetings. \nBut the Free Palestine Coalition will be there. Hundreds of Minnesotans have turned out to pack State Board of Investment meetings and send a clear message: public pension money should not be used to fund genocide! The State Board of Investment has responded by trying to move their meetings online. They have now gone back on that decision\, adopting hybrid meetings. \nThe fact that the board feels the need to shut down public comment at their meetings and try to prevent us from attending is evidence of the strength of our movement. \nHelp us pack the room to demonstrate that the Palestine solidarity movement isn’t going anywhere\, and that we demand divestment now. \nOrganized by MN Free Palestine Coalition

SUMMARY:December MEPN Forum
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, December 14\, 2024\, 10:00 – 11:30 AM\, Online\, click here to register \n\n“The Gaza Catastrophe: What Next for Palestine & Israel?” with Khaled Elgindy \nForum topic: More than a year after the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel\, Israel’s ongoing assault on Gaza shows no sign of letting up\, even as the conflict has now spread to Lebanon and beyond. The war on Gaza has killed at least 43\,000 people\, forcibly displaced nearly all of Gaza’s 2.3 million inhabitants\, and reduced most of the coastal enclave to rubble\, while starvation and disease continue to spread at an alarming rate. The conflict is already the deadliest moment in Palestinian history and the most destructive episode in the century-old conflict in Israel-Palestine. Why have U.S.-backed ceasefire efforts continued to fail? What future is there for Gaza and its devastated population? What are the long-term repercussions of the current Gaza catastrophe for Israeli security\, Palestinian self-determination\, and a peaceful settlement between Palestinians and Israelis? \nAbout the speaker: Khaled Elgindy is director of the Middle East Institute’s Program on Palestine and Palestinian-Israeli Affairs and adjunct instructor in Arab Studies at Georgetown University. He is the author of the 2019 book\, Blind Spot: America and the Palestinians\, from Balfour to Trump (Brookings Institution Press). Elgindy previously served as a resident scholar in the Foreign Policy program at the Brookings Institution from 2010 through 2018. Prior to arriving at Brookings\, he served as an adviser to the Palestinian leadership in Ramallah on permanent status negotiations with Israel from 2004 to 2009\, and was a key participant in the Annapolis negotiations of 2007-08. \nPlease contact mepn@mepn.org with any questions. Organized by Middle East Peace Now\, sponsored by WAMM Middle East Committee

April 17 is also the Palestinian Prisoners’ Day. We join other academic workers\, students\, union members\, and activists within multiple higher education associations and unions\, trade unions\, and others across the U.S. for a coordinated national direct action in protest of the ongoing genocide in Gaza and the escalating repression at home. We believe that the liberal notion of academic freedom divorced from Palestine speech is not freedom! We stand against the neoliberal and colonial logic of higher ed that represses speech and academic freedom in the US and that enables genocide\, carceral tactics\, starvation\, and the long-running destruction of education and historical memory in Gaza and throughout Palestine. Free Palestine! Hands Off Our Students! Dismantle ICE! Stop Suppressing Palestine Speech! Endorsed by WAMM
