What:  Jill Stein Virtual Rally
Where:  Online
When:  Sun, July 14, 5 pm

The empire is pulling out all the stops to try to crush our
rebellion. After hiring armies of lawyers to kick Jill off the ballot
and advertising jobs for infiltrators and spies to sabotage her
campaign, now Biden's Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen is withholding
nearly $300,000 in public matching funds that Jill has earned
<https://www.jillstein2024.com/matching>.

It's time to fight back. Let's show the anti-Democratic Party they
can't shut down our anti-genocide, pro-worker, climate action campaign
- and the more they tighten their grip, the more voters will slip
through their fingers.

We'll be joined by special guests Kshama Sawant, trailblazing
socialist and former Seattle City Council member, Palestinian-American
activist Jenan Matari, and Susan Abulhawa, renowned Palestinian writer
and human rights activist who has been an outspoken voice against the
US-backed genocide in Gaza.

Please join us Sunday to help Jill rally the resistance to the empire,
and spread the word!

What:  Green Sunday - Warheads to Windmills: Preventing Climate
       Catastrophe and Nuclear War
Where:  Online
When:  Sun, July 14, 5 pm - 6:30 pm

It's not too late, if we act fast enough now! Even as emissions
increase and treaties collapse, we can still stop these twin
existential crises from becoming catastrophic.  We already have all the
solutions we need to stop burning fossil fuels and to abolish nuclear
weapons once and for all.  How can environmentalists and peace
activists work together to overcome propaganda, problematic
"solutions," and political agendas that threaten our very survival?
Author Timmon Wallis will share new insights and fresh strategies. The
corporate profiteers who corrupt our legislators are surprisingly
vulnerable to legal threats from the Nuclear Ban Treaty and from the
global movement for a Fossil Fuel Treaty.

Timmon Wallis, PhD is the National Coordinator of the Warheads to
Windmills Coalition.  He has spent his life teaching, writing,
directing organizations, and campaigning on peace and environmental
issues in colleges, war zones, and with governments around the
world. With his colleagues at the International Campaign to Abolish
Nuclear Weapons, he shares the 2017 Nobel Peace Prize.  Vicki
Elson, MA is the Creative Director of Nuclear Ban US, which facilitates
the Warheads to Windmills Coalition.  After a long career in childbirth
education and labor support, she has shifted her focus to supporting
human well-being with total nuclear abolition and converting the
resources wasted on WMD's to science-based climate solutions.

July 14th, 5:00 pm to 6:30 pm Via Zoom: please see the access info
