SUMMARY:Stewardship of Water
DESCRIPTION:Christ the King Evangelical Lutheran Church in Houston invites you to a monthly environmental education web meeting series whose theme in 2018 is Stewardship. \nAt the February web meeting\, we welcome Bruce Bodson\, President/Executive Director of Lower Brazos Riverwatch\, who will address Stewardship of Water.  Water is a uniquely versatile medium\, functioning as a vital resource\, a habitat\, a recreation venue\, and a waste conveyance.  As we have often seen in Houston\, it is also a destructive force of nature.  Stewardship of water entails balancing these functions and our management of the hazard in a manner that allows for protection of the resource\, for all the human benefits to be obtained\, and still leave a reasonably unimpaired habitat for other species.  Here in Houston\, the Bayou City\, we are blessed with an abundance of waters\, but we struggle with maintaining the balance of uses that allows us to enjoy this abundance without causing irreparable harm to the resource.  This presentation will examine the resources we have\, and consider the effects of the ever growing demand placed on them.  It will also look at some examples of local programs that strive to bring balance to our consumption and regulation of the resource.  After Bruce’s talk\, there will be time for Q&A.  Please register for this talk\, and you will receive an invitation to the web meeting.  Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Roy Zimmerman Concert-Potluck Fundraiser for Peace Camp Houston
DESCRIPTION:What can one person do about climate change\, torture\, racism\, xenophobia\, gun violence\, fracking\, Congressional ineptitude\, ignorance\, war and greed?  Write funny songs\, says Roy Zimmerman \, master satirist\, songwriter\, and performer. \nHPJC is bringing Roy Zimmerman back to Houston in a benefit to raise funds for Peace Camp Houston.  \n“ReZist” is ninety minutes of Roy Zimmerman’s hilarious\, rhyme-intensive original songs. \n“Sometimes I think satire is the most hopeful and heartfelt form of expression\,” says Roy\, “because in calling out the world’s absurdities and laughing in their face\, I’m affirming the real possibility for change.” \nRoy’s songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime.  He’s shared stages with Bill Maher\, Robin Williams\, Ellen DeGeneres\, John Oliver\, Kate Clinton and George Carlin.  He’s been profiled on NPR’s “All Things Considered\,” and he’s a featured blogger for the Huffington Post. \nHe’s funny\, he’s a great musician\, he’s an excellent performer\, and his in-person performances are outstanding.  What more could you ask for? \nThe concert starts at 7:00 pm\, but there’s also an optional pot luck dinner at 6:00 pm — bring some food or drink to share\, if you wish. \nVisit Roy’s web site and check out his music on YouTube for more information about him and his music. If you can’t come\, but would like to help us pay expenses so more children can attend peace camp\, go to the Peace Camp Houston donation form. \nReserve your discount seats now!\nWe’re asking for a contribution of $20 at the door\, or $15 in advance\, but if that’s too much for you\, please let us know. \n\nIf you’d like to purchase tickets with a check\, make it payable to “Houston Peace and Justice Center”\, and indicate “Roy Zimmerman” on the memo line. Please also send us your email so we can add to our updates list! Mail it to HPJC\, PO Box 66234\, Houston TX 77266-6234.  Mail early so that we’ll receive the checks by Feb. 20.\nBetter still\, reserve/purchase your tickets online\n\nWe’ll also collect additional donations just for this summer’s Peace Camp Houston\, for those who can give more.  We hope to add more weeks of peace camp\, at different locations\, and provide subsidies for more children of lower income families – it all depends on how much funds we can raise. Please give generously!

SUMMARY:March against Trump\, Sexism\, Racism\,Class Exploitation\, and War
DESCRIPTION:During his first year in office\, Trump has proved to be the most brazen white supremacist\, misogynistic\, and anti-working class U.S. president in decades. He has praised Nazis in Charlottesville\, encouraged police brutality\, stopped federal oversight of murderous police departments\, slandered Black athlete/activists\, pardoned the anti-Hispanic former Sheriff Joe Arpaio\, ended DACA\, increased arrests of migrants\, begun planning a wall on the southern border\, and tried to implement a Muslim travel ban. \nTrump has stopped funding comprehensive global family planning programs\, appointed anti-choice federal judges\, supported an alleged child molester in a recent Senate race\, tried to drive trans people out of the military\, sought to gut legal protections for workers and consumers\, supported a $1 trillion-plus reduction in taxes for capitalists\, ended U.S. participation in the Paris climate accords\, sent U.S. military forces to Syria\, increased drone bombing in other countries\, and threatened to attack North Korea. \nIt is imperative to drive Trump and his supporters from power now. But we all need to recognize that Trump is only the symptom of a grave underlying disease–and that disease is capitalism. Voting for centrist or liberal “lesser-evil” Democrats is not enough. Only the masses of people can put an end to \n* the Trump-Pence regime\n* patriarchy\, homophobia\, and transphobia\n* white supremacy\, xenophobia\, and the persecution of immigrants\n* the exploitation of workers\n* political repression and police brutality\n* nuclear threats and imperialist wars \nand open the door to fundamental social change. \nA march against Trump\, Sexism\, Racism\, Class Exploitation\, and War will be held on Saturday\, January 20. We will assemble at 1 pm (after the Houston Women’s March is over) in Hermann Square\, 900 Smith St.\, between the Reflecting Pool and the mid-block exit to Smith St. Beginning at 1:30 pm\, we will march down Smith St. to the Leland Federal Building at 1919 Smith St. The rally at the Leland Federal Building will include speakers\, musicians\, spoken word artists\, a Trump piñata\, chants\, and more. \nThis action is being organized by Brown Berets de TejAztlan\, Houston Socialist Movement\, Justice 4 All\, Party for Socialism and Liberation\, and Refuse Fascism (list in formation). If your organization would like to help with this event or if you would like more information\, please call 832.692.2306 or 832.438.3785. We hope to see you on January 20. All power to the people!

SUMMARY:The Other Side of Hope (Toivon tuolla puolen)
DESCRIPTION:This wry\, melancholic comedy from Aki Kaurismäki—whose films the MFAH has premiered for more than three decades—speaks to the current refugee situation. Khaled (Sherwan Haji)\, a displaced Syrian\, lands in Helsinki as a stowaway. Meanwhile\, middle-aged salesman Wikström (Sakari Kuosmanen) leaves behind his wife and job and improbably buys a seafood restaurant. Despite being denied asylum\, Khaled remains in Finland\, and the paths of the two men cross fortuitously. \nA bittersweet tale of human kindness\, The Other Side of Hope is as deadpan as the best of the director’s work\, with a deep well of empathy for its down-but-not-out characters—many of them played by members of Kaurismäki’s ever-reliable stock company. \nhttps://www.mfah.org/calendar/the-other-side-of-hope for tickets!

SUMMARY:Christmas at the Jail 5
DESCRIPTION:Toy and teddy bear distribution to children on Christmas Eve. \nHaving a parent behind bars is traumatic enough for children\, but to a young child at Christmas time it may be an emotional disaster.  When children go into a jail to see their mother or father during the holidays\, the very real potential for psychological scarring exists.  A group of men\, women and children since 2013 have taken these kids\, the most innocent victims of mass incarceration\, into their hearts and their arms at Christmas time at the jails in Houston.  They have donated time\, money and energy to ensure these little humans receive at least a little glimmer of happiness when they emerge from the repressive atmosphere of the Harris County Adult Detention Center.  Walking out of the doors there\, they see a crowd of smiling faces standing behind Santa Claus and a huge pile of presents.  To see the transformation on these small faces from sadness and confusion to wonder and pure joy changes the lives of all who experience it. \nYou are cordially invited to join us at the jail on Christmas Eve this year as we carry these children a message of hope and love. To Volunteer contact:  Rebecca Lavergne: cmason4103@yahoo.com \nIf you cannot make it but still want to help\, please go to www.hpjc.org and note that the donation is for the Christmas at the Jail event.  Snail mailers can send tax free donations to Houston Peace and Justice Center\, PO Box 66234\, Houston Texas 77266.   \nThere is much wrong in the world today\, this is an opportunity to be a part of something which is clearly good and positive.   \nMerry Christmas to you and your family!

SUMMARY:Sacred
DESCRIPTION:Rescheduled from the weekend of Hurricane Harvey. \n“Directed by Academy Award–winner Thomas Lennon and shot around the world by 40 filmmaking teams\, Sacred immerses the viewer in an exploration of spirituality across cultures and religions. This nomadic film explores faith as primary human experience and shows how people turn to ritual and prayer to navigate the milestones and crises of life. \n“Lennon commissioned or sourced footage from top independent filmmakers from more than 25 countries and a wide range of religious traditions\, each team contributing a single scene. The film\, sweeping in its global reach and yet intensely intimate\, unifies these scenes into a single work\, told without narration\, without experts and\, for long stretches\, without words at all.” —Ashland Independent Film Festival \n• Winner of Special Jury Prize for Documentary Feature at the River Run Film Festival\n“For its beautiful portrayal of spirituality in its myriad forms\, the wonder inherent in our unique ambition to strive for the transcendent\, and how our traditions and disparate practices each reflect the multiplicity of paths taken on a shared journey of faith\, the Jury gives a special mention to Sacred.” \n• Read an inspiring review of the film. \n• Watch an interview with Academy Award–winning filmmaker Thomas Lennon.

SUMMARY:Quaker Barter Fair
DESCRIPTION:An opportunity to trade objects and services without using common currency and to support “Buy Nothing Day\,” a national effort to provide alternatives to the media driven consumerism of “Black Friday.”  This also offers the community an opportunity to share in the Quaker testimonies of simplicity\, stewardship\, and community by creating a space to practice thinking together in a new way about how we place value on objects and services within our community. \nWe will also share a meal of left-overs from Thanksgiving feasts\, so all attendees are invited to bring left overs to share. \nTo get involved\, just come.  Bring a table\, shelf\, rug or blanket to display your goods or a sign that describes your service(s).  Bring some food to share\, if you wish.  CHILDREN ARE WELCOME!  Children are often the best models of how this can work.  They have the ability to add value to an item by describing potential uses\, and the creativity to negotiate three-way trades. \nThere will be a designated area for “free” items that you are willing to give to whomever wants them.  Visitors may then use such items to barter and trade with if they wish. At the end of the day\, whatever is left on the free table will be donated to the women’s center. \nNo money will be exchanged for services or goods.  The purpose of this event is to challenge those who choose to participate to NOT SHOP or BUY anything on this day after Thanksgiving.
