SUMMARY:Houston Demands Trump/Pence Out Now! #OutNow!
DESCRIPTION:JOIN US and DEMAND: The Trump/Pence Regime Must Go – NOW! \nThe time has come to launch mass\, sustained\, non-violent protests that come back week after week\, refusing to stop until the Trump/Pence Regime has been removed from power. \n**IT BEGINS: Saturday\, October 19 New York & Los Angeles\n** IT CONTINUES AND SPREADS: Saturday\, October 26 NATIONWIDE PROTESTS \nand the next Saturday (11/2)… and the next (11/9)… and the next (11/16)… \nFor more information please visit https://www.facebook.com/events/westheimer-rd-post-oak-blvd/houston-demands-trumppence-out-now-outnow/897267933974638/ \nPuerto Rico and Hong Kong show us how:\nTrumpPenceOutNOW! \nConcentration Camps on the border… the earth melts and burns… the danger of war\, even nuclear… white supremacy rules… fascist mobs and mass murderers… truth and science erased… the right to abortion near gone… democratic and civil rights are stripped away… THIS IS FASCISM UNFOLDING. \nThe Trump/Pence regime must go now because of the danger it poses to humanity. It must go now because fascism eliminates the right to dissent\, undermining every aspiration and struggle for justice… it has direction and momentum that must be stopped before it becomes too late. \nImpeachment hearings have begun – opening a new stage of struggle. The Trump/Pence regime and their hardcore base are gearing up and will not give up. The Democratic Party leadership refuses to utter the word Fascism and have conciliated and facilitated the assault on fundamental rights. Any illusions that “we can leave things to the Democrats” or wait til 2020 would be extremely dangerous. The only way to stop is by manifesting the power of millions in the streets. We must seize on the crisis now erupting to take history into our own hands – turning dread for the future into a force for hope. \nThe world as we have known it is being torn asunder. We must cast off fear and passivity because the future depends on it. Let’s refuse to allow our differences to stand in the way of rising together in an unprecedented\, unrelenting mass struggle to confront the danger of a Trump/Pence fascist America. \nIn the Name of Humanity\, We REFUSE to Accept a Fascist America!

SUMMARY:A Way Forward: Healing from Racism
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Healing Racism is happy to invite you to the first conference on dismantling institutional racism. \nWhile the Center has worked tirelessly for 30 years to help individuals heal from internalized racial conditioning\, this conference will explore the systemic nature of racism in U.S. society; the ways in which the institutions in our country have created advantages and disadvantages for different groups of people. In bringing together a diverse group of communities\, our goal is to begin developing strategies for achieving a more just and equitable society. \nConference participants will include academics\, social justice activists\, artists and advocates of equity and equality who will examine the educational\, health care\, nutritional\, criminal justice and environmental systems of our society\, with an eye towards dismantling institutional racism and fostering a community in which all can thrive. \nAs an affiliate of Houston Community College\, we will also consider the impact of institutional racism on students\, faculty and the community at large\, presenting strategies for these groups to cope with the distress caused by systemic oppression\, which can diminish cognitive “bandwidth” and interfere with performance at school\, at work and in the world. \nFacilitators will also illustrate for conference participants the essence of Dialogue: Racism\, the process for intercultural communication developed by the Center for the Healing of Racism. \nFor more information\, or to register\, please visit https://chrantiracismconference.org

SUMMARY:Health Justice- Workers' Rights\, Work Life Balance and Being Good to Yourself
DESCRIPTION:Come to our gathering as we discuss health justice\, or how injustice and lack of action on various social justice issues worsens health outcomes and leads to higher health care costs.  For this month’s gathering\, we will discuss a few interrelated themes\, starting with labor and worker rights\, hostile work environments\, lack of work-life balance\, and its effect on health and health care costs.  Also to be discussed will be rethinking practices at schools and colleges with regard to extreme homework and study overloads\, and extreme busyness either imposed by other means such as city design\, or touted as a status symbol\, and why it is time to change our thinking and planning on this.  In living up to that ‘personal responsibility’ that proponents of our current immoral health care system love to ‘talk the talk’ about\, one of the best ways to really ‘walk the walk’ on this\, along with diet and exercise\, would be to re-evaluate not only our work environments and worker treatment\, but also look at how we can make it both feasible and fashionable to cut down on overwork and time overload from other areas of life.  I will give a brief presentation on these issues\, then open it up to all attendees to share their stories\, thoughts\, input\, suggestions\, etc. \n  \nMeeting will be held at: \nTarka Indian Kitchen\n721 W 19th St.\nHouston\, TX 77008

SUMMARY:The Walk for Mental Health Awareness
DESCRIPTION:The Walk for Mental Health Awareness – Houston is a community based event that helps raise awareness and funding for Greater Houston area non-profit agencies and programs that provide mental health services; creating an environment for our positive public dialogue. \n\nSpecial activities for Children \nMental Health Expo and door prizes start at 9:30 A.M. \n\nEveryday living can feel like a death sentence for those suffering with a mental illness. The physical\, mental and emotional suffering takes the joy out of life\, and has the potential to have life-long problems if left untreated. There is help and there is hope\, but you can only receive help by asking. The Walk for Mental Health Awareness–Houston is a celebration of the hope of life after mental illness and a call to action by people in our community. \nPlease visit http://www.thehoustonwalk.org/ for more information.

SUMMARY:Coming Wars with Venezuela\, Iran\, Russia and China
DESCRIPTION:Dan Kovalik is a human rights and labor lawyer\, and his new book makes the case that the Trump/Russia scandal is a dangerous diversion that leads some progressives to agitate for war with Russia. Kovalik’s book offers history and context for the current scene and the “blame Russia” memes promoted by  the media\, based on anonymous leaks and unseen intelligence. From Vietnam to Iran/Contra\, the Iraq war and intervention in Libya\, false intelligence and spin have been used to justify illegal actions. \nKovalik notes that people–who marched against Bush’s wars–are now stoking efforts to limit Trump’s options with Russia\, and some are calling for war in response to unproven claims of cyber attacks. \nThe demonetization of Russia includes a new McCarthyism\, and PBC relates how a recent interviewer casually smeared NSA whistle blower Bill Binney as a Russian sympathizer\, because Binney argues that the breach of DNC servers was an insider leak\, not an outsider hack. \nNear the end of the interview\, Kovalik comments on the situation in Venezuela.  He will be in Caracas for the July 30 election\, and will report on it . \nForeign Policy  Domestic Political policy

DESCRIPTION:The Houston Climate Strike will be the biggest climate strike in Houston history. As the energy capital world\, Houston is in a position to push the global community toward green energy. This transition will include access to training\, unionized jobs\, and support for those impacted by the switch in industry. We invite you to come stand with us and continue to the fight for a better future! If you are planning on joining us please remember to carpool\, walk\, or take public transportation if you are able to! \nSign up at https://actionnetwork.org/events/houston-climate-strike-2? \nJOIN THE CLIMATE STRIKE\nBeing a young person in 2019 means living every day in fear and dread as we see the foundations of civilization crumbling around us. \nIt means trying not to imagine what the world will look like in 30 years\, or even 10 years. \nScientists tell us we have just 11 years to transform our economy before it’s too late to protect human civilization as we know it. To achieve the scale of transformation science demands\, we need elected officials at every level of government to treat the climate crisis like the emergency it is and make the Green New Deal their top priority. But right now\, the leaders supposed to tackle this crisis are either asleep at the wheel or purposely driving us toward catastrophe so their oil and gas billionaire friends can keep raking in profits. \nDespite calls for a climate debate in the forms of 540\,000 petition signatures\, all major presidential candidates\, and over 100 DNC members\, the DNC voted on the weekend of August 24th to deny the resolution for a climate debate. Our future is at stake\, but Tom Perez just swept aside the climate crisis for someone else to solve. \nThat isn’t leadership. Once again\, we will have to take the lead. We will start by striking together. Will you join us?
