RE: THE US TAX CODE SHOULD NOT ALLOW BILLIONAIRES TO EXIST
 

Just like it was 80 years ago, let's put that MTR (Marginal Tax Rate)
where it belongs. 75% - 90%. 
Like Roosevelt, Truman and Eisenhower times.
The most prosperous and highest quality of life times in USA.

RE: 'WE SAW JEWS WITH HEARTS LIKE GERMANS': MOROCCAN IMMIGRANTS IN
ISRAEL WARNED FAMILIES NOT TO FOLLOW
 

Yes there were major issues then. But don’t forget that escalating
persecution led the vast majority of Moroccan Jews to emigrate to
Israel over the next decade and that they and their descendants are
now part of the majority of Israeli Jews who are now the backbone of
Likud and other right wing parties. Their experience in Arab countries
have made them the strongest opponents of anything that might lead to
them ever having to live under a Muslim majority regime again.
Regurgitating this history as if it represents the reality of present
day Israel would be completely misleading.

Stan Nadel

      =====

Please publish some articles about Israel that are positive. I am
tired of your slamming Israel at every turn. This is totally unfair
and destructive and it's poor journalism. I'm not opposed to showing
the negatives, but there needs to be a balance with some positive
articles. Just the fact that today's article about Moroccan immigrants
to Israel was published by the Israeli paper Haaretz should show that
there is freedom of the press in Israel. Why not write an article
about freedom of the press in Israel? If you need help with finding
positive things to say about Israel, perhaps I can be of assistance.

SPACE TRAVEL  -  A FEW LIMERICKS BY LINCOLN BERGMAN
 

For Branson, Bezos, and Musk
I harbor a mammoth disgust  
I’d much rather see
The butts of all three
On the tip of an elephant’s tusk!
Three billionaires into space hurled
The flags of their egos unfurled
Half of their steals
Could make zillions of meals
Plus health care for all in the world.
Space is a challenge that’s true
But on Earth there’s so much to pursue
For sex, race, and class
Each one and en masse
Equality’s long overdue.
Here on this bluish-green sphere
Space billionaires better be clear
Revolutions take place
Not only in space
They also can happen down here!

SUPPORT FRITO-LAY WORKERS
 

Frito-Lay workers and their union have made it past the 16-day mark of
their strike! They are continuing to request that everyone boycott
PepsiCo products, and here's a handy infographic floating around to
help.

 

URGE DUKE ADMINISTRATION TO DROP OBJECTIONS TO DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS
UNION ELECTION (DUKE UNIVERSITY PRESS WORKERS UNION)
 

Duke and Duke University Press leadership are continuing to mount
legal challenges and objections to our union of press workers, even as
we’ve repeatedly and consistently demonstrated majority support.

At the vote count on June 29, Duke’s lawyer and DUP Director Dean
Smith challenged the votes of two staff members on their own
eligibility list—which appears to be a desperate move to delay and
distract from recognizing the union.

On July 7, Duke petitioned the National Labor Relations Board to
invalidate the results of the union election and hold a new election
at an unspecified later date. The objections listed, such as minor
Zoom glitches, had no material effect on the outcome of the election:
there was an overwhelming turnout of 96 percent of eligible employees.

What kind of message does it send for Duke to drag its employees into
a legal morass rather than accept the voice of its workers?

Here’s how you can help: First, sign and send this letter to Duke
and DUP leaders. Then, share this form on social media and forward it
to others who might like to sign. Thank you for your support and
solidarity as we #UnionizeUP!

SEEKING PEACE IN AFGHANISTAN: SEPTEMBER 11TH FAMILIES FOR PEACEFUL
TOMORROWS’ WEBINAR EXPLORES PROSPECTS FOR AFGHAN CIVIL SOCIETY

 

Afghan civil society activists have richly informed the work of
September 11th Families for Peaceful Tomorrows
[[link removed]] over many years. Four of these
activists—DR. ZAHER WAHAB, TAHMINA HASHIMI, LAILUMA SHARIFI YAMA,
and NEMATULLAH AHANGOSH—joined KELLY CAMPBELL, a founder of Peaceful
Tomorrows and KATHY KELLY, long-time peace activist who has been
working with the Afghan Youth Peace Volunteers in Kabul since 2010 to
discuss prospects for peace. The panelists analyzed the successes and
shortcomings of expanding opportunities for civil society engagement
since 2002, the forces that threaten to reverse recent improvements,
and some radically creative ideas for building peace in a land that
has suffered endless war. Read more and view the webinar HERE

NEW BOOK - PROPHET AGAINST SLAVERY - BENJAMIN LAY, A GRAPHIC NOVEL
(BEACON PRESS)
 

[link removed]
[[link removed]]
Author, Artist:David Lester  Editors:Paul Buhle,Marcus Rediker

The revolutionary life of an 18th-century dwarf activist who was among
the first to fight against slavery and animal cruelty.

Prophet Against Slavery
[[link removed]] is an
action-packed chronicle of the remarkable and radical Benjamin Lay,
based on the award-winning biography by Marcus Rediker that sparked
the Quaker community to re-embrace Lay after 280 years of disownment.
Graphic novelist David Lester brings the full scope of Lay’s
activism and ideas to life.

Born in 1682 to a humble Quaker family in Essex, England, Lay was a
forceful and prescient visionary. Understanding the fundamental evil
that slavery represented, he would unflinchingly use guerrilla theatre
tactics and direct action to shame slave owners and traders in his
community. The prejudice that Lay suffered as a dwarf and a hunchback,
as well as his devout faith, informed his passion for human and animal
liberation. Exhibiting stamina, fortitude, and integrity in the face
of the cruelties practiced against what he called his “fellow
creatures,” he was often a lonely voice that spoke truth to power.

Lester’s beautiful imagery and storytelling, accompanied by
afterwords from Rediker and Paul Buhle, capture the radicalism, the
humor, and the humanity of this truly modern figure. A testament to
the impact each of us can make, Prophet Against Slavery?brings Lay’s
prophetic vision to a new generation of young activists who today echo
his call of 300 years ago: “No justice, no peace!

MOBILIZATION FOR NATIONAL IMPROVED MEDICARE FOR ALL NOW IN OVER 50
CITIES - SATURDAY, JULY 24 (MEDICARE FOR ALL - M4A)
 

IT ALL STARTS WITH YOU.

TAKE ACTION! AS A UNITED PEOPLE, WE CAN TAKE ON THOSE WHO ARE WORKING
TO BLOCK THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE. TOGETHER, WE WILL WIN.

This question is both simple and complex. We are a coalition of groups
that are coming together to march for Medicare for All. Who is in that
coalition depends on which city you are talking about. There is no one
single group behind this. The list seems to grow every day. Some
people are even politically homeless and simply focused on doing what
they can to move #M4A forward. We are nonpartisan, but some local
parties have joined in the fight! We are proud to say that this type
of coming together hasn't happened in recent memory, if ever.

Our movement was founded from a place of compassion and love. We came
together out of frustration with the lack of action from the powers
that be. Many of us have our own personal stories as to why we are in
this fight. All of us know that healthcare is a right, not a
privilege. It is a basic freedom. How can we have life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness when we live in constant fear of illness,
bankruptcy, or homelessness because of the outrageous for-profit
healthcare system.

One event can ruin your life, even if you have insurance. The industry
can always say no. We need a big fat yes! Whatever you and your doctor
decide is best for your health should be what is done. No more
preauthorizations, deductibles, out of pocket expenses etc. etc. These
are all barriers to the care we deserve. Nearly 70,000 times a year or
more, someone dies because of these barriers to care. This is
unacceptable.

DUTERTE WAKASAN NA - COORDINATING ACTIONS OF FILIPINOS IN THE U.S.
AGAINST THE DUTERTE GOVERNMENT - JULY 24 - 31 (BAYAN USA)
 

On the weekend of July 24, THOUSANDS OF FILIPINOS AND THEIR
ALLIES will mobilize to launch the Duterte Wakasan Na - U.S. movement
in response to President Duterte’s final State of the Nation
Address. PROTEST ACTIONS AND OTHER ACTIVITIES WILL BE HELD ACROSS 13
MAJOR CITIES TO MARK THE OCCASION.  

Duterte has come under fire in the Philippines and internationally for
rampant extra-judicial killings, corruption, anti-people
socio-economic policies, his betrayal of national sovereignty to
China, and his failed response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In June, a
broad coalition of forces in the Philippines united under the DUTERTE
WAKASAN NA MOVEMENT to end the regime. The movement aims to bring
together all people opposed to Duterte, and emcompasses all calls and
demands to end his regime, whether they seek his resignation,
impeachment, ouster, or the defeat of his political heir in the 2022
election. 

Duterte Wakasan Na - U.S. amplifies the demand to end the regime by
adding the voices of Filipinos in the US, who comprise the largest
overseas population of Filipinos. 

Join one of the actions happening in a city near you, or organize your
own! IF YOU WANT TO BE A PART OF THE MOVEMENT, SIGN ON TO THE UNITY
STATEMENT TODAY: TINYURL.COM/DWNUNITY

FIGHTING THE RIGHT'S ATTACK ON CRITICAL RACE THEORY - JULY 27 (SHOWING
UP FOR RACIAL JUSTICE)
 

Our movements are strong and we are winning. In response, the Right is
expanding racist strategies - and their latest tactic is attacking
Critical Race Theory (CRT). With CRT as their latest dog whistle, the
Right-wing media is going so far as to blame CRT for a host of things
[[link removed]] like
last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests, diversity and equity
trainings in companies, and LGBT clubs in schools.

As of today, 26 states have either passed or have pending legislation
to ban talking about systemic racism in the classroom
[[link removed]].
Educators, especially Black educators, are being threatened or fired
for teaching about our country’s racist history.

The Right is looking to mobilize their base to turn out for the 2022
midterm elections using CRT as a hook. Along the way, they will also
develop new leaders and elect new Right-wing, anti-public-school
officials to local school boards and state legislators.

In the face of these attacks, education and racial justice
organizations such as the African American Policy Forum, The Alliance
to Reclaim Our Schools (AROS), BlackLivesMatter in Schools, and SURJ
members have been organizing locally and nationally to say no to such
flagrant white nationalism, efforts to obscure our country’s true
history, and building alternatives for racial justice in education.

In this webinar we'll hear from Zakiyah Ansari, Advocacy Director at
the Alliance for Quality Education
[[link removed]],
Barbara Gross from EJ-ROC at the NYU Metro Center
[[link removed]],
Scot Nakagawa from Change Lab
[[link removed]],
and SURJ chapter members who are leading fights in their communities.

We'll learn about the Right's strategy with these attacks as well as
how we can effectively organize to bring more white people into
anti-racism and counter the far right's white nationalist recruitment
through organizing for racial justice in education. Let’s make it
clear that the truth about our history and ongoing systemic racism and
white supremacy hurts us all.

THE PUERTO RICAN SOCIALIST PARTY -- AN ORAL HISTORY - JULY 29 (MAY
FIRST MOVEMENT TECHNOLOGY)
 

Organizers from the Puerto Rican Socialist Party during the 1970s
share experiences relevant to activists today.

During the 1970's the Puerto Rican Socialist Party was the largest and
most powerful Puerto Rican revolutionary organization in the U.S. and
a major force within the U.S. Left. A recently published book, written
by people involved in the PSP then, offers a lesson-filled oral
history of the organization and its work. This Need to Know features
some of those people.

This is an event every person interested in changing this country
should attend. The lessons of that period and that organization are of
great value today.

HIROSHIMA AND NAGASAKI NEVER AGAIN! - AUGUST 6 AND 9 (INTERNATIONAL
CAMPAIGN TO ABOLISH NUCLEAR WEAPONS)
 

This has been a year (and a half) like no other! Nuclear weapons were
worse than worthless in preventing the COVID-19 pandemic, which
continues to devastate countries and populations. What we need instead
is unprecedented worldwide cooperation to eradicate the virus and
prepare for future pandemics. Yet, according to a recent report
[[link removed]]
by the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, in 2020, the
nine nuclear-armed states spent $72.6 billion on nuclear weapons, with
the U.S. leading the pack at $37.4 billion, or $70,881 per minute! On
August 6th and 9th, the 76th anniversaries of the U.S. atomic bombings
of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, groups across the country and around the
world will remember the victims and demand the abolition of nuclear
weapons.
