SUMMARY:COVID-19 Wall of Memories
DESCRIPTION:COVID-19 Wall of Memories is a 501(c)(3) organization that maintains a website memorializing COVID-19 victims. Our objective is for people to understand the full scope of how the epidemic has impacted the U.S. We achieve this both through victims’ stories and through our news and information pages. \n\n \nOur mission is to memorialize and amplify the lives of COVID-19 victims and to provide education about the disease\, its spread\, and its impacts. The heart of what we do is the digital wall of memories\, containing profiles of COVID-19 victims\, some submitted through our own research and some submitted by family members of victims. A digital memorial wall displaying the faces and names of people residing in the U.S. who have died of COVID-19. Clicking or tapping on any photo takes you to a profile of that victim.  There are around 500 on the wall at this time\, and the our goal is simple – to get as close as possible to the total number who have perished. \n\n \nWe are dedicated to being a source of news and information about COVID-19 and to honor everyone who passes away from COVID-19 in this country. We believe that each one of them deserves to be on the wall\, deserves to be recognized\, and deserves to be counted.  There’s no point at which we’d stop because there are “too many people.” \n\nIt’s simple; Fill out the form which is then sent to the site. After review and approval\, it’s posted.  Visitors to the site can also leave condolence messages for individual people\, or a general condolence message.  After visiting COVID-19 Wall of Memories\, please spread the word. \n\n \n\nThe website address is:\n\nwww.covid19wallofmemories.org\n\nCONTACT: \nMohammed Nasrullah\, mnasrullah@covid19wallofmemories.org\, (713) 876-3624; \nRuth Nasrullah\, rnasrullah@covid19wallofmemories.org\, (713) 397-9994

SUMMARY:Faithful Resilience: A Study on Climate Resilience for Faith Communities
DESCRIPTION:Faithful Resilience: A Study on Climate Resilience for Faith Communities \nTuesdays\, January 12 – February 16\, 6 p.m.\, online \nFaithful Resilience is a six-part study on climate resilience for faith communities. The climate crisis has arrived. Faith communities must not only react\, but also prepare. Over the last decade\, hurricanes have intensified\, wildfires have burnt stronger\, and heat waves have baked our cities. These events can only be expected to get worse in the next decades. Most of our faith communities are not ready for these climate-driven disasters. Yet\, the communities who will be most threatened by climate change also have an opportunity to play a pivotal role in building resilience in their towns and cities. Whether a faith community has a large facility\, land\, social capital\, or something else\, those assets can be channeled into building climate resilience in preparation for the coming physical and spiritual storms of the climate crisis. Join us for a six-week exploration of how your house of worship/faith community can become a force for climate resilience for your community.

SUMMARY:Green Jobs for All: How the Gulf South Wins a Green New Deal
DESCRIPTION:Climate change is here and a people’s mass movement must meet the moment. Though the Biden administration pledges to address climate change\, he and the DNC have failed to embrace a Green New Deal (GND) that provides a just transition towards millions of green jobs and protects our environment and communities from the dire consequences of climate change. Oil and gas workers\, environmental justice communities\, and BIPOC leaders of the Gulf South states\, Texas\, Louisiana\, Alabama\, Mississippi\, and Florida\, must be part of the multi-sector and multi-racial movement to demand a Green New Deal.

SUMMARY:2020 Peacemaker Award Ceremony
DESCRIPTION:Our main fundraiser for 2021!\nPlease join us online SATURDAY\, DECEMBER 5th as we celebrate ourNational and Local Peacemaker Award Recipients!\n** CLICK HERE FOR INFO AND TO REGISTER **\n  \nShannon Watts – our 2020 HPJC National Peacemaker Award Recipient & Keynote Speaker \nShannon Watts is a mother of five who\, prior to founding Moms Demand Action\, was a stay-at-home mom and former communications executive. The day after the Sandy Hook tragedy\, Shannon started a Facebook group with the message that all Americans can and should do more to reduce gun violence. The online conversation turned into a grassroots movement of Americans fighting for public safety measures that protect people from gun violence. Moms Demand Action has established a chapter in every state of the country and is part of Everytown for Gun Safety\, the largest gun violence prevention organization in the country\, with nearly 6 million supporters. In addition to her work with Moms Demand Action\, Watts is an active board member of Emerge America\, one of the nation’s leading organizations for recruiting and training women to run for office. \nLocal Peacemaker Award recipients:\nMartina Grifaldo – Executive Director\, Alianza Latina Internacional \nMartina Grifaldo is from Dolores Hidalgo Guanajuato\, Mexico; she is 56 years old. She came to the United States as a Mexican immigrant looking for the American dream for her and her family. Martina and her family put down their roots in Houston\, Texas. Martina started her volunteer career teaching the elderly immigrant people to write and read at her church San Carlos Borromeo. She attended Houston Community College\, where she pursued a double major in English and Spanish. Her passion for civic engagement has granted her many awards and successes. She was able to fight for and help many people keep their homes after a bank had tricked them. A more recent case was the Vanessa Guillen case; she was one of the people who helped bring this case to the public and make national headline. She has won many awards in honor of her advocacy work\, such as a Hispanic award for being one of Houston’s best activists and recognition from the union of SEIU. She is also one of the first to introduce her history at Alley Theater. Martina is the founder of a non-profit organization called Alianza Latina International. Through this organization\, Martina has had the opportunity to serve immigrant and refugee community members. She has seen first-hand the challenges that come with adjusting to life in a new country. Ultimately\, Martina plans to continue advocating for immigrant families and make a difference in children’s lives with anti-bullying school programs through the foreign service or within immigration/refugee relief programs. \nMoms Demand Action\, Houston \nMeals On Wheels\, Houston \nClick here to register!

SUMMARY:We Won't Let Trump Steal the Election! We Will Defeat Fascism!
DESCRIPTION:Donald Trump es el presidente más racista\, sexista\, antiobrero y autoritario en medio siglo. Ha implementado una prohibición de viajar a los musulmanes\, ha comenzado a construir un muro para mantener a los migrantes mexicanos y centroamericanos fuera de nuestro país y ha difamado a líderes políticos\, atletas y otras personas de ascendencia africana. Trump ha apoyado las exenciones fiscales para las corporaciones gigantes y los superricos. Se ha opuesto a los sindicatos\, los servicios sociales y la protección del medio ambiente; alentó la brutalidad policial y luchó contra los esfuerzos para abordar el racismo sistémico. Ha pedido apoyo a los neonazis y otros supremacistas blancos. Su inacción y mentiras sobre el COVID-19 son responsables de más de 200.000 muertes en este país. Y aunque dice que la economía está en buena forma\, muchos millones de personas están desempleadas y enfrentan el desalojo. Ahora Trump amenaza con robarse las elecciones participando en la supresión de votantes\, pidiendo un “Ejército para Trump” para intimidar a los votantes y explorando opciones para ignorar los resultados de las elecciones en algunos estados.\nAlgunos de los partidarios fascistas de Trump ya se han involucrado en actos de violencia y recientemente les dijo que “se mantengan alerta”. La amenaza del fascismo nunca ha sido tan grave en Estados Unidos\, y Trump debe ser destituido de su cargo. Un número récord de personas ya está votando en esta elección\, y cada encuesta indica que perderá la elección. Pero debemos hacer más que votar. Debemos salir a las calles ahora y enviar un mensaje poderoso: no permitiremos que Trump se robe las elecciones. No aceptaremos la dictadura y el fascismo. Coalition Against Trump and Fascism (Houston Socialist Movement\, Houston United Front against Fascism\, Trajabadores del Hogar sin Fronteras\, y otras activistas) y People’s New Black Panther Party están organizando una marcha y un manifestación en Houston el miércoles 4 de noviembre a partir de las 5 pm. Nos reuniremos en 900 Smith Street\, en la entrada de los terrenos del Ayuntamiento entre McKinney Street y Walker Street. Luego marcharemos hasta el Leland Federal Building en 1919 Smith Street para una manifestación. Planee unirse a nosotros el 4 de noviembre. Si desea obtener más información\, llame al 832.692.2306 o al 855.724.7837.\n \n \n \nDonald Trump is the most racist\, sexist\, anti-worker\, and authoritarian president in half a century. He has implemented a Muslim travel ban\, started to build a wall to keep Mexican and Central American migrants out of our country\, and slandered political leaders\, athletes\, and other people of African descent. Trump has supported tax breaks for giant corporations and the super-rich. He has opposed unions\, social services and environmental protection; encouraged police brutality\, and fought against efforts to address systemic racism. He has appealed to neo-Nazis and other white supremacists for support. His inaction and lies about COVID-19 are responsible for more than 200\,000 deaths in this country. And while he says the economy is in good shape\, many millions of people are unemployed and face eviction. Now Trump is threatening to steal the election by engaging in voter suppression\, calling for an “Army for Trump” to intimidate voters\, and exploring options for ignoring the election results in some states.\nSome of Trump’s fascist supporters have already engaged in acts of violence\, and he recently told them to “stand by.” The threat of fascism has never been so grave in the United States\, and Trump must be removed from office. Record numbers of people are already voting in this election\, and every poll indicates that he will lose the election. But we must do more than vote. We must take to the streets now and send a powerful message: We will not allow Trump to steal the election. We will not accept dictatorship and fascism. The Coalition against Trump and Fascism (Houston Socialist Movement\, Houston United Front against Fascism\, Trajabadores del Hogar sin Fronteras\, and other activists)\, and People’s New Black Panther Party are organizing a march and demonstration in Houston on Wednesday\, November 4\, beginning at 5 pm. We will meet at 900 Smith Street\, at the entrance to City Hall grounds between McKinney Street and Walker Street. Then we will march to the Leland Federal Building at 1919 Smith Street for a demonstration. Please plan to join us on November 4. If you would like more information\, please call 832.692.2306 or 855.724.7837.
