SUMMARY:March for Justice
DESCRIPTION:FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nWe the People Organize First March for The Tuttles\nHouston— July 26\, 2019- We the People Organize will hold our first March and Rally for the Tuttles on Saturday\, July 27\, 2019. Nearly six months ago\, the Tuttles were killed in their Houston home as result of a botched raid by the Houston Police Department. \nOn Thursday’s press conference\, Mike Doyle\, Rhogena Tuttle’s lawyer\, released preliminary findings by forensics scientist Michael Maloney. The most outrageous finding was that Rhogena Tuttle was fatally struck by a bullet from a weapon fired outside her home by a person unable to see her. This evidence contradicts claims made by the Houston Police Department. We are calling for all of the evidence held by HPD to be released to the family. We are calling on Houstonians to join us on Saturday to march for justice for The Tuttles. \nWHEN: Saturday\, July 27\, 2019 from 5:00 to 7:00 PM\nWHERE: Staging area is at Mission Milby Community Center\n2220 Broadway Street\, Houston\, TX 77012\nRally at Tuttle’s home: 7815 Harding Street \nMedia Contact: Mr. Hai Bui of We the People Organize\, 281-330-4351\, hai@WethePeopleOrganize and WethePeopleOrganize.com

SUMMARY:Bruce Elementary Press Conference re: I-45 Expansion
DESCRIPTION:MEDIA ADVISORY: \nRALLY AND PRESS CONFERENCE TO CALL FOR REGIONAL LEADERS TO DELAY VOTE ON $100 MILLION FOR THE I-45 EXPANSION \n(HOUSTON\, TX) – Community advocates and concerned residents will hold a rally and press conference on Tuesday\, July 23\, at 10:30 a.m. to urge Houston-Galveston Area Council’s (H-GAC) Transportation Policy Council (TPC) to delay voting on funding for Segment 2 of Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) controversial North Houston Highway Improvement Project (NHHIP)\, or the I-45 expansion. \nThe TPC is scheduled to vote at their monthly meeting on Friday\, July 26\, on TxDOT’s request for a $100 million down payment “to demonstrate the region’s desire for advancing” the rebuild of Segment 2 of I-45\, which spans from I-10 to North Loop 610. This funding commitment would signal support for the project as it is currently designed\, despite significant community concerns about the expansion’s adverse impacts on neighborhood history and heritage\, greenspace\, flooding\, housing\, jobs\, safety\, and air quality. It could also attract a match from the Texas Transportation Commission to fund the remainder of the $1.22 billion necessary for this section of the project. \nAccording to TXDOT’s Draft Environmental Impact Study\, the highway expansion “would cause disproportionately high and adverse impacts to minority or low-income populations.” Current plans for widening I-45 would\, according to TxDOT\, cause thousands of residents to lose their homes and the removal of more than 300 businesses impacting more than 20\,000 employees. Additionally\, the project impacts historical sites and 26 schools and daycare centers. \nAir Alliance Houston\, LINK Houston\, Greater Houston Coalition for Justice\, Make I-45 Better Coalition\, as well as concerned residents are calling for H-GAC TPC members not to rush this decision and to delay the vote until TxDOT addresses community concerns surrounding the project. Delaying the vote would allow time for TXDOT to complete a round of community engagement activities and planning in conjunction with the City of Houston; the latest series of community engagement is scheduled to begin in late August. The organizations and residents are asking the TPC to delay the vote until 2020\, after TXDOT finalizes the highway project’s Environmental Impact Statement. Thousands of affected Houstonians deserve to have their concerns sufficiently addressed before regional policymakers consider funding this project. \nWHAT: Community rally and press conference calling for H-GAC TPC to delay the vote on funding for the I-45 expansion \nWHEN:  Tuesday\, July 23rd\, 2019; 10:30 a.m. \nWHERE: Bruce Elementary School\, 510 Jensen Dr\, Houston\, TX 77020 \nWHO: Speakers include: \n\n\nDr. Bakeyah Nelson\, Executive Director\, Air Alliance Houston \n\n\nOni Blair\, Executive Director\, LINK HOUSTON \n\n\nJohnny N. Mata\, Presiding Officer\, Greater Houston Coalition for Justice \n\n\nCommunity Members \n\n\nSpeakers will be available for one-on-one interviews following the press conference. \nFor more information\, please contact Riikka Pohjankoski at riikka@airalliancehouston.org or 713.528.3779. \n### \n\n\nAVISO A LOS MEDIOS DE COMUNICACIÓN: \nREUNIÓN DE CONFERENCIA DE PRENSA PARA LLAMAR A LÍDERES REGIONALES A RETRASAR EL VOTO DE $ 100 MILLONES PARA LA EXPANSIÓN DE LA I-45 \n(HOUSTON\, TX) – Los defensores de la comunidad y los residentes interesados realizarán una manifestación y una conferencia de prensa el martes 23 de julio a las 10:30 am para urgir al Consejo de Políticas de Transporte (TPC por sus siglas en Inglés) del Consejo del Área de Houston-Galveston (HGAC por sus siglas en Inglés) a retrasar la votación sobre la financiación del Segmento 2 del controvertido Proyecto de Mejora de la Autopista del Norte de Houston (NHHIP por sus siglas en Inglés) del Departamento de Transporte de Texas (TxDOT por sus siglas en Inglés)\, o la expansión de la I-45. \nEl TPC está programado para votar en su reunión mensual el viernes\, 26 de julio\, sobre la solicitud de TxDOT de un pago inicial de $ 100 millones “para demostrar el deseo de la región de avanzar” la reconstrucción del Segmento 2 de la I-45\, que se extiende desde la I-10 a North Loop 610. Este compromiso de financiamiento sería una señal de apoyo para el proyecto tal como está diseñado actualmente\, a pesar de las importantes preocupaciones de la comunidad sobre los impactos adversos de la expansión en la historia y el patrimonio del vecindario\, el espacio verde\, las inundaciones\, la vivienda\, los empleos\, la seguridad y la calidad del aire. También podría atraer un emparejamiento de la Comisión de Transporte de Texas para financiar el resto de los $ 1.22 mil millones necesarios para esta sección del proyecto. \nDe acuerdo con el Proyecto de Estudio de Impacto Ambiental de TxDOT\, la expansión de la carretera “causaría impactos desproporcionadamente altos y adversos para las poblaciones de bajos ingresos y a minorías”. Los planes actuales para ampliar la I-45\, de acuerdo con TxDOT\, causaría a eliminación de más de 300 empresas impactando a más de 20\,000 empleados y que miles de residentes pierdan sus hogares. Además\, el proyecto afecta a sitios históricos y 26 escuelas y guarderías. \nAir Alliance Houston\, LINK Houston\, Greater Houston Coalition for Justice\, Make I-45 Better Coalition\, así como los residentes preocupados están pidiendo a los miembros de H-GAC TPC que no apresuren esta decisión y retrasen la votación hasta que TxDOT aborde las preocupaciones de la comunidad en torno al proyecto. Retrasar la votación le daría tiempo a TxDOT para completar una ronda de actividades y planificación de participación comunitaria en conjunto con la Ciudad de Houston; la última serie de participación comunitaria está programada para comenzar a fines de agosto. Las organizaciones y los residentes piden al TPC que demore la votación hasta 2020\, después de que TxDOT finalice la Declaración de Impacto Ambiental del proyecto de la carretera. Miles de habitantes de Houston afectados merecen que sus inquietudes se tengan en cuenta de manera suficiente antes de que los formuladores de políticas regionales consideren financiar este proyecto. \nQUÉ: Reunión comunitaria y conferencia de prensa en la que se pide que el TPC H-GAC demore la votación sobre la financiación para la expansión de la I-45 \nCUÁNDO: martes 23 de julio de 2019; 10:30 am. \nDONDE: Bruce Elementary School\, 510 Jensen Dr\, Houston\, TX 77020 \nQUIENES: Los presentadores incluyen: \n\n\nDr. Bakeyah Nelson\, Director Ejecutivo\, Air Alliance Houston \n\n\nOni Blair\, Director Ejecutivo\, LINK HOUSTON \n\n\nJohnny N. Mata\, Oficial Presidente\, Coalición por la Justicia del Gran Houston \n\n\nMiembros de la comunidad \n\n\nLos presentadores estarán disponibles para entrevistas individuales después de la conferencia de prensa. \nPara obtener más información\, póngase en contacto con Riikka Pohjankoski en riikka@airalliancehouston.org o 713.528.3779.

SUMMARY:Free film screening: The Chocolate Case
DESCRIPTION:FREE screening of The Chocolate Case +\nFREE tasting of Fair Trade chocolate and other delicious Fair Trade goodies \nCome for the film\, enjoy the treats and even shop the #FairTrade store for gifts or yourself. Every purchase matters and this is your chance to be a part of the movement to put people and the planet first. \nMore info: The film follows 3 Dutch journalists who uncover child labor in the cocoa production chain\, which triggers them to try to persuade large corporations to end unethical practices. The trio sets out on a mission to develop the first ‘slave-free’ chocolate bar\, known as ‘Tony’s Chocolonely’ – now one of Holland’s leading chocolate brands. The film is both an expose of problems within the chocolate supply chain\, and an inspirational story of people trying to change the world they live in. \nCheck out the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7L9d2KR3qQ

SUMMARY:VegFest Houston
DESCRIPTION:The 7th Annual VegFest Houston is moving to a huge new home at Minute Maid Park! Our Vegan Festival features include: superb vegan restaurants\, exciting vegan and abolitionist animal rights organizations\, ‘Kids Zone’ Makerspace with crafts\, vegan food & fitness demos\, our popular “Ask a Vegan” booth and panels\, free product samples\, like-minded community booths and green businesses\, plus raffle prize giveaways. Join us we make history again on Saturday\, July 13\, 2019!  \n\n\n\nOur family-friendly annual festival is open to the public.  Attendees can reserve a VIP  PASSin advance (while supplies last)\, which offers special perks including early entrance\, the festival tote\, coupons\, express entry wristband and other vegan swag.\n\n\n\nVegFest Houston is The Premier Vegan Community Festival of Texas! In 2010\, our co-founder Kristen Lee Ohanyan proposed the idea for Houston’s first and only vegan festival to her fellow Vegan Society of P.E.A.C.E. board members & leadership team colleagues. That dream soon became a reality! With the support of our dedicated volunteers\, our nonprofit created the first-ever VegFest Houston\, which debuted in 2011.  \nVegFest Houston was held at Pecore Hall in Montrose in 2011 and 2012\, and then moved to the larger Pershing Middle School campus in Bellaire for 2013 and 2014. The festival went on hiatus from 2015-2016 while our nonprofit organization launched exciting new outreach projects\, created additional annual events\, and expanded our fundraising. An even larger venue was also sought out in order to meet the needs of our growing vegan festival\, as well as a fresh new format. We were pleased to officially move to the Stafford Centre Convention Hall in 2017! Now\, we have expanded to an even larger venue for 2019 at Minute Maid Park! \nThis amazing\, diverse\, all-vegan community event is held right here in the nation’s 4th largest city. It’s no wonder\, since Houston is ranked the 4th “Most Veg-friendly City” in the nation as of 2012\, making us the top Texas Veg-friendly city! \nWe are Houston’s original vegan festival! The festival is produced entirely by volunteers from our nonprofit organization. Our popular event features vegan vendors and exhibitors\, family-friendly kids activities\, giveaways and more. VegFest Houston promotes an ethical\, compassionate and truly sustainable world for all. Ours is one of the most diverse vegan festivals in the nation!!! \n\nDid you know that VegFest Houston Vegan Community Festival of Texas was part of the early #VegFest movement? We were the first “VegFest” labeled vegan festival in Texas and our logo is one of those shown in this VegSource article about the history of The VegFest Phenomenon! Vegan Society of P.E.A.C.E. is honored to have our festivals be part of what eventually became a worldwide VegFest movement.

SUMMARY:Stop Trump Now! No More Raids\, Detentions\, and Deportations!
DESCRIPTION:Trump’s relentless attacks on migrants are leading to more abuse\, neglect\, misery\, and deaths. It is time for people to take a stronger stand against this racist repression. The criminalization of migrants and militarization of the border has contributed to thousands of deaths in the past decade. Scores of migrants have died at the hands of the Trump administration. Families continue to be separated. And private migrant prisons are profiting from the government’s cruelty. \nAcquiescence in the opening of the Southwest Key child detention center at 419 Emancipation Avenue by most local officials is a bitter reminder that we cannot depend on politicians to end the attacks on migrants. We must recognize that the repression directed against migrants did not begin with the Trump administration. And history teaches us that it will take the power of the masses of people to stop this shameful mistreatment of our brothers and sisters from other countries. \nFree Los Ninos Coalition will hold a demonstration against SWK’s child detention center and call for an end to all raids\, detentions\, and deportions on Thursday\, July 4\, at 1 pm. This national holiday is the perfect time to point out how the systemic repression of migrants demonstrates that all the official rhetoric about “liberty and justice for all” is a lie. And for those of us who really do want freedom\, equality\, and real democracy\, this is the perfect time to come out and say so as we demand justice for migrants. \nPlease plan to join us on July 4\, at 1 p m\, at 419 Emancipation Avenue! For more information\, call 832.692.2306.
