SUMMARY:Houstonians for Migrant Justice Rally
DESCRIPTION:We live in a city where asylum seekers are being kept in detention centers\, one of which lies just outside Downtown and is housing teenagers indefinitely. These centers are run by the Southwest Key Programs\, whose leaders are profiting off of the detainment of children and have yet to share adequate information about the conditions in these centers. We\, as Houstonians\, are obligated to come together to stand with the migrants in our city and call out maltreatment of migrants when it occurs. This is why Houstonians for Migrant Justice is committed to the humanitarian care\, timely reunification\, and just legal representation for migrants sheltered in our community\, and transparency and accountability from the agencies that provide these services.  \nOur group intends to use this joint rally-fundraiser to pursue this transparency and accountability\, by engaging with elected officials and urging them to visit the Southwest Key detention centers in Houston and by raising money for a prominent group providing pro-bono legal aid to Houston migrants.  \nThe rally will be held on Saturday September 14\, tentatively from 5:30-8:30pm at the Casa Sunzal detention center (419 Emancipation Ave). We will meet at Settegast Park (3000 Garrow St) at 5:30pm and walk for about 5-10 minutes to the detention center.  \nIf you are interested in volunteering with us to fundraise and conduct community outreach\, please contact us here.

SUMMARY:Climate Caucus

SUMMARY:Another Antifascist Action at GRB!
DESCRIPTION:Are you sickened and outraged by the recent white supremacist murders in El Paso? By the Christchurch mosque murders? By the murders at the Pittsburgh synagogue? By the murder of Heather Heyer in Charlottesville? By the murders at Emanuel AME Church in Charleston? Are you ready to take a stand against the fascists and other white supremacists who are committing or encouraging these heinous crimes? \nYou are invited to participate in a counter-demonstration against the Texas Patriot Network and other white supremacists at the George R. Brown Convention Center\, 1001 Avenida De Las Americas\, on Saturday\, August 31. These racists will be protesting against the Islamic Society of North America Convention. Our counter-demonstration will begin at 7:30 am and continue until 5:30 pm. Come when you can\, and stay as long as you can. \nLast year this crew planned a three-day protest but barely got through the first day. We massively outnumbered them\, easily outshouted them\, and embarrassed them so badly that they could not get enough racists to come back on the second and third days. We know because we were there waiting for them each day. Solidarity among diverse organizations and individuals made last year’s antifascist action a great success. \nWe support our Muslim brothers’ and sisters’ right to hold their convention\, exercise their religious freedom\, and live as they wish without fear of violence\, harassment\, or intimidation. And we oppose any kind of platform for fascists. So once again\, we will be at GRB to drown out the racism and religious bigotry of TPN and their friends\, and drive them off the streets as soon as possible. \nThis anti-fascist action is endorsed by Familias Inmigrantes y Estudiantes en la Lucha (FIEL)\, Free Los Niños Coalition\, Houston Peace and Justice Center\, Houston Socialist Movement\, Houston United Front Against Fascism\, Janie Torres\, Mexicanos en Acción\, National Domestic Workers Alliance\, Refuse Fascism\, Socialist Alternative\, and other groups (list in formation). Please plan to join us on August 31. If you would like to help with security or logistics\, or receive more information\, please contact us. \nEnd White Supremacy! No Platform for Fascists! Workers of the World\, Unite! \nFor updates and other information\, please go to https://www.facebook.com/events/400885637183385/

SUMMARY:Climate Movie Evening:  Paris to Pittsburgh
DESCRIPTION:Join us at Live Oak Friends Meeting (Quaker Meeting House) in the Heights for a movie evening.  There will be a pot-luck dinner for those who are interested at 6 pm on Saturday August 24th.  The movie\, Paris to Pittsburgh will start at 7pm.  Families welcome.  Admission is free; just bring your pot luck item to share dinner and conversation.\n\nParis to Pittsburgh brings to life the impassioned efforts of individuals who are battling the most severe threats of climate change in their own backyards. Set against the national debate over the United States’ energy future – and the Trump administration’s decision to exit the Paris Climate Agreement – the film captures what’s at stake for communities around the country – and the inspiring ways Americans are responding. The film is directed by Sidney Beaumont and Mike Bonfiglio\, produced by Bloomberg Philanthropies and RadicalMedia and distributed by National Geographic Documentary Films.\n\nMore info on the film at: https://www.paristopittsburgh.com/\n\nIf you have any questions\, call 832-463-1128.

SUMMARY:The Silence of Others (El silencio de otros)
DESCRIPTION:Filmed over six years\, The Silence of Others reveals the epic struggle of victims from Spain’s dictatorship (1939-1975) under General Francisco Franco. A powerful and poetic cautionary tale about fascism\, and the dangers of forgetting the past\, the award-winning documentary offers a cinematic portrait of the first attempt in history to prosecute crimes of Franco whose perpetrators have enjoyed impunity for decades due to a 1977 amnesty law. Executive produced by Pedro Almodóvar\, the film brings to light a painful past that Spain is reluctant to face\, even today\, decades after the dictator’s death. \n“A plea against inaction.” – The New Yorker \n“Exceptionally moving… In a style evocative of the best of Patricio Guzmán… this film is a milestone in recovery of a past that is not over—and\, to invoke Faulkner\, not even past.” – IDA Documentary Magazine \n“A stirring documentary… a very necessary story\, delivered with rigor and conviction.” – The Hollywood Reporter \n“This courageous\, moving\, lithe\, necessary and eye-opening documentary dares to demand the truth.” – Cineuropa \n“Unfolding with all the force of a classic political thriller by Costa-Gavras or Francesco Rosi.” – Screen Daily \nRead an interview with the filmmakers.

SUMMARY:Transition Houston Meeting: The Green New Deal
DESCRIPTION:The Green New Deal\nWhat Does it Mean for Me and What Does it Mean for the Future?\nWe hope you’ll join us for our August Transition Houston meeting! Socializing starts at 6:30pm and the meeting begins at 7:00pm at the Haven’s Center\, 1827 W Alabama St\, Houston\, TX 77098. \nThere are moments in history when the world changes. Sometimes we don’t see it up close and in the moment it happens. Some examples in the history of this country are the Civil War\, the emancipation of slaves\, the civil rights movement\, human footprints on the moon……. \nThe New Deal in the 1940’s represented a shift towards social and economic equity for all Americans after the Great Depression. It was amplified in the 1960’s through the Great Society by the Johnson presidency to include marginalized Americans who were excluded from the American Dream. \nNow we have a visionary proposal called the New Green Deal. It is a marker for the framework necessary for legislation and policy to turn back global warming and build a green infrastructure for future generations. The Green New Deal seems to represent the fastest and most logical way to face a future of unspeakable fears. The Green New Deal is where the rubber meets the road. \nFailure is not an option. \nAbout Our Speakers\nJaime Lawson is a native Houstonian\, who works both professionally and within the community to raise awareness about sustainability and climate action. For the past 8 years\, she has worked as a Sustainability Consultant\, primarily in the commercial green building industry. Jaime works with local grassroots organizations to promote equity in sustainability and the need for urgent climate action.

SUMMARY:Houston Rapid Response Network Training
DESCRIPTION:The Houston Rapid Response Network is a group of people on-call to show up for people and families impacted by current anti-immigration laws. The training will review actions to help counteract deportation and the splitting up of families in our state. The training also covers how documented allies can play both small and large roles in the network and how all of us together can show up in solidarity with the undocumented and migrant people in our community.
