DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, February 28 on Zoom  10:00am – 11:30am CT\nProfessor Amahl Bishara:\n“Against Fragmentation: Palestinian Practices\nof Connection to Confront Erasure—\nand How They Inspire Solidarity in the US Today” \nDespite closure\, economic deprivation\, and political threat\, Palestinians in a refugee camp in the West Bank have insisted on staying connected with friends\, colleagues and kin in Gaza\, and on supporting each other. Witnessing and understanding these brave practices of connectedness can inspire practices of solidarity and support in the United States today. \nAbout the Presenter:\nDr. Amahl Bishara is Professor\, Anthropology and Professor\, Studies in Race\, Colonialism\, and Diaspora at Tufts University. Her interests are media\, journalism\, the Middle East\, expressivity\, human rights\, knowledge production\, democracy\, and ethnography of place. Dr. Bishara’s research revolves around expression\, space\, media\, and settler colonialism. She is presently working on a project that examines Palestinian popular politics in a West Bank refugee camp. It examines how Palestinians in this refugee camp strive to resist three authorities: the Israeli occupation\, the Palestinian Authority administration\, and the United Nations Relief Works Agency\, through struggles over land\, water\, bodies\, and expression. \nThis Zoom webinar is free and open to the public\, but registration is required. \nWhile many of our monthly webinars are recorded\, this one will not be recorded. \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Give to the Max Day 2025
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, November 20\, 2025\, All day\, Online at givemn.org \nGive to the Max started in 2009 as a one-time campaign to mark the launch of GiveMN.org\, Minnesota’s digital home for generosity.

In the years since\, nearly one million donors have given more than $355 million to 14\,000 nonprofits and schools as part of Minnesota’s giving holiday. \nMark your calendars—Give to the Max Day returns for a 17th year on Thursday\, November 20\, 2025\, with Early Giving beginning on November 1.

SUMMARY:Preparing for the Federal Domestic Terrorism Apparatus
DESCRIPTION:Monday\, November 10\, 2025 ; 7:00 p.m. CST\, Online\, register HERE \nAs the administration moves to expand its domestic terrorism framework\, new policies and rhetoric are raising alarm among social justice advocates. A recently issued presidential directive\, National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM-7)\, reportedly identifies a range of progressive\, “anti-American\,” and “anti-Christian” beliefs as potential indicators of “terrorism.” Paired with inflammatory claims about so-called “transgender extremism” and Donald Trump’s executive order targeting “Antifa\,” these developments signal a disturbing effort to criminalize dissent and stigmatize marginalized communities. \n  \nThe National Lawyers Guild Review (NLGR) will bring together activists\, legal experts\, and organizers to unpack what these shifts mean in practice. This urgent conversation comes amid growing political attacks\, including Representative Lance Gooden’s (R–TX) formal request that the Department of Justice investigate the National Lawyers Guild (NLG) over its alleged association with “Antifa” or “antifascism.” Together\, we’ll explore: What’s new and concerning about the federal domestic terrorism apparatus How these policies may target activists\, trans people\, and other vulnerable communities Practical steps for staying informed\, secure\, and organized. \nRegister At: https://www.nlg.org/civicrm/event/register/?reset=1&id=90&fbclid=IwY2xjawN199hleHRuA2FlbQIxMABicmlkETFXVTcyeHFLbUJ3ZmViTHRsAR7avUPlIlAbdpAFctE-xpEQdBy2U8VSogw_sn0xrecbFbYZgkvtlrGeXn1fug_aem_b0WUYZDhov9Q63UMUZmqHA \nOrganized by National Lawyers Guild  \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:MEPN April Forum: What Now for Our Movement?
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, April 19\, 2025\, 10AM-11:30AM\, Zoom Webinar\, click here to register\n\n\n\nPart 1: Gaza\, Trump II\, and the great unmasking –\nan inflection point for the movement\nAs the genocidal intent of Israel’s settler colonial project has become inescapably clear\, strategies informed by the liberal Zionist desire to rescue or reform the Zionist project have been replaced by a focus on ending the genocide and to challenging the very foundations of the Zionist project. The re-election of Donald Trump portends an escalation of Israel’s project of ethnic cleansing and colonization. The ceasefire agreement for Gaza is crashing on the rocks of the realization that this “agreement” is simply a further step in putting an end to Palestinian national aspirations. Severely increased violence in the West Bank\, both structural and overt\, provides further evidence of the duplicity of any talk of Palestinian statehood or sovereignty. Indeed\, we may be approaching the end of what Rashid Khalidi has termed the “One Hundred Years’ War on Palestine.” \nWhat does this mean for our movement? Is it the time for a reset? In this forum we will take stock of the movement for Palestine in the United States and globally. What are the achievements that can be built on and what are the challenges of the present moment? Ample time will be given to sharing and discussion\, which will set the stage for Part 2 (Saturday\, May 17)\, which will consider the key roles played by the ascendancy of Christian nationalism and the weaponization of antisemitism.  Register now for this April 19 Zoom forum.\n\nAbout the Speaker: \nDr. Mark Braverman is Jewish American with deep family roots in the Holy Land. Raised in a traditional Jewish family\, he was schooled in the potent combination of rabbinic Judaism and political Zionism that continues to dominate contemporary Jewish identity\, an identity that for Mark was transformed by his encounter with the Palestinian people. He is the Executive Director of Kairos USA\, a member organization of the Kairos for Justice Coalition\, a global network formed in response to the Palestinian call. Mark has lectured and trained internationally and is the author of two books\, Fatal Embrace: Christians\, Jews\, and the Search for Peace in the Holy Land and A Wall in Jerusalem: Hope\, Healing\, and the Struggle for Peace and articles and book chapters\, including the 2022 “Theology in the Shadow of the Holocaust: Revisiting Bonhoeffer and the Jews.”\n\nContact mepn@mepn.org with questions.  \n  \nOrganized by Middle East Peace Now\, endorsed by WAMM Middle East Committee \n\n\n	Related

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 \n\n\n\n	Related

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. The EcoAction Committee promotes ecological wisdom\, environmental justice\, sustainability and responsible governmental stewardship of the Earth and its inhabitants. \nHaig Hovaness is the Co-Chair of GPAX. He has written and spoken on defense issues and the danger of conflict escalation. Haig has a professional background in information technology. Videos of his GPAX presentations are available at the GPAX website\, https://gpax.gpus.org/ \nWomen Against Military Madness (WAMM) is a member-based organization whose mission is to oppose U.S. militarism and involvement in wars. WAMM challenges systems of harm\, oppression and exploitation\, and helps build movements of solidarity with others for peace and justice through education and action. \nDavid Schwartzman is a member of the EcoAction Committee. He is a Professor Emeritus\, Howard University (biogeochemist\, environmental scientist\, PhD\, Brown University) and an active member of the DC Statehood Green Party/Green Party of the United States. He will focus on the need for the near future defeat of militarized fossil capital and its political instruments. \nOrganized by the EcoAction Committee and the Green Party Peace Action Committee \n\n\n	Related

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\n\n\n	Related
