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 7:30 pm\, but there’s also an optional pot luck dinner at 6:30 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 March 8.\nUse the form below to 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:How Wealth Inequality is Wrecking the World and What We can do about it
DESCRIPTION:The BAUUC Service and Justice Ministry (SJM) invite all to hear acclaimed author and scholar Chuck Collins discuss\, “How wealth inequality is wrecking the world and what we can do about it”.  The event is scheduled for March 22nd\, 7 to 9PM \nThe year Chuck Collins turned 16\, his father took him aside for a man-to-man talk. Edward Collins told his son that he had set up a substantial trust fund for him.\nChuck remembers feeling utter amazement. The great-grandson of Oscar Mayer and an heir to the wiener fortune\, he had grown up living comfortably\, but not lavishly\, in suburban Detroit. Now\, as his father spelled out\, he realized he would not have to work for money unless he wanted to. His dad also stressed his hope that the money would not change his son or his life goals. It didn’t. However\, events took a very different course from the one the elder Collins had so carefully planned. Ten years later\, in 1985\, Chuck Collins gave away every penny of his inheritance\, nearly half a million dollars\, to foundations and groups that he knew needed funding—organizations working for the environment\, peace\, racial equality\, and indigenous and gay people’s rights.\nChuck Collins is a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS) and directs IPS’s Program on Inequality and the Common Good where he co-edits He is an expert on U.S. inequality and author of several books\, including 99 to 1: How Wealth Inequality is Wrecking the World and What We Can Do About It.\nHe is co-author with Bill Gates Sr. of Wealth and Our Commonwealth\, (Beacon Press\, 2003)\, a case for taxing inherited fortunes. He is co-author with Mary Wright of The Moral Measure of the Economy\, a book about Christian ethics and economic life. His new book is Born on Third Base: A One Percenter Makes the Case for Tackling Inequality\, Bringing Wealth Home\, and Committing to the Common Good (Chelsea Green\, Sept. 2016).\nHe is co-founder of Wealth for the Common Good\, a network of business leaders\, high-income households and partners working together to promote shared prosperity and fair taxation. This network merged in 2015 with the Patriotic Millionaires.\nIn 1995\, he co-founded United for a Fair Economy (UFE) to raise the profile of the inequality issue and support popular education and organizing efforts to address inequality. He was Executive Director of UFE from 1995-2001 and Program Director until 2005.

SUMMARY:Earth Day Barter Fair
DESCRIPTION:A Barter Fair provides an opportunity to trade objects and services without using common currency. The Quaker testimonies of Simplicity\, Community and Stewardship encourage Friends to find creative ways to care for the earth and each other\, and we want to extend this opportunity to others in the community. Creating a space to practice thinking together in a new way about how we place value on objects and services within our community seems like a worthwhile way to observe the 48th anniversary of Earth Day. \nTo get involved\, just come!   Bring a table\, shelf\, rug or blanket to display your goods or a sign that describes your service(s). 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. \nNo money will be exchanged for services or goods\, although monetary donations may be made to Live Oak Friends Meeting House for the use of their space. \n  \n

SUMMARY:Two Rivers Camp: Spring Break Caravan
DESCRIPTION:Spring Break trip! Info and signup here.\n\nThe Society of Native Nations\, Big Bend Defense Coalition\, and others resisting the Trans Pecos Pipeline near Big Bend.  The Two Rivers Camp is setup near Marfa Texas and has been carrying out direct actions for a few weeks\, as part of a larger 2 year resistance against the pipeline.\n \nThis is the last stand\, as the pipeline is scheduled to be complete by the end of the first quarter of 2017.  As an elder said\, even stopping the last connecting 10 feet is stopping the pipeline.\n \nOf the 10 indigenous environmental struggles\, this has been slated as the priority for 2017.\nhttp://www.alternet.org/environment/10-indigenous-and-environmental-struggles-and-how-you-can-help-2017\n\nKey points:\n– Several ancient burial grounds have already been desecrated along the route\n– Mexico has discovered large quantities of natural gas underground\, yet Energy Transfer Partners has teamed up Comisión Federal de Electricidad to bring massive amounts of gas from Texas fracking fields to Mexico\n– Desert landscapes take hundreds of years to rebuild\n– Small leaks can lead to large fires that can wipe out vast acreage and kill livestock and people\n– Land has been taken from ranchers and reportedly farmers in Mexico have been killed in the process\n\nElders say that the most needed items now are:\n \n1. Money to help post bail for nonviolent protesters\nhttps://fundrazr.com/81C2nb\n\nhttp://societyofnativenations.org/donate.html\n \n2. Attorneys willing to do pro-bono work for those arrested\n \n3.

SUMMARY:PEACEMAKER: From Guns to Garden Tools
DESCRIPTION:Join RAWtools\, The Peace Pastor Marty Troyer\, Texas Gun Sense and others on Friday\, March 10th at 6:45pm as we turn guns into garden tools and learn of a 3rd way of addressing gun violence. \nRAWtools\, Inc. gets its scriptural motivation from Isaiah 2:4 and Micah 4:3. We want to be comprehensive in our efforts to move our communities away from gun violence and violence as a whole. Its not enough to just make a lot of tools from guns. We need to help teach each other new ways to solve our problems through relationship\, dialogue\, and alternative means of justice\, i.e. Restorative Justice practices and victim-offender dialogue. \nOur nation has been through a variety of horrific events surrounding gun violence and it has brought the conversation to the forefront of our current events and “water cooler” conversations. It has largely become a binary conversation of either more guns or more laws. RAWtools wants to open a new option\, a third way. What if we made a commitment to solve our problems without guns and violence? You can find statistics to support more laws to keep guns off the streets. You can find statistics to support adding more guns to deter bad things from happening. In either case\, people are afraid of guns. \nBy using weapons to make garden tools and other hand tools\, we are creating a symbol for change and we’re asking you to participate. We are asking our communities to dare to use our imaginations to change our impulse. Beating swords into plowshares\, spears into pruning hooks\, and guns into garden tools creates a dynamic shift in our investment in time and resources. If we are no longer training for war\, what else would we be doing? It doesn’t mean we are all to become gardeners\, but it does mean we can invest in providing life sustaining resources for our communities. \nRAWtools: www.rawtools.org\nMarty Troyer: http://blog.chron.com/thepeacepastor/\nTexas Gun Sense: www.txgunsense.org

This year on Sunday\, February 19\, “We the People Connect the Dots” march against tyranny and ongoing attacks on social justice and civil rights. \nInstead of honoring our current President on this holiday\, we honor the American people and the values that hundreds of thousands of us are fighting for. We are democracy. We are patriots. We are America.” states the membership of Indivisible Houston. \nThe March will begin at 3:00 PM with speakers from diverse advocacy groups united by those interconnected issues and articulating true American values. \nThe march will stop at various locations that represent the different levels of government and how they impact seemingly disparate communities. \nSince inauguration\, communities across the United States have sprung into action. With protests at airports like IAH turning the tide in American opinion against policies such as the Muslim ban\, the true numbers of the resistance are making themselves heard. Now is the time to protect the rights\, safety\, and health of Houstonians and all Americans at the local\, state\, and federal level. Marginalized groups are under fire and respected American institutions on the chopping block. Average citizens at the grassroots level are who will save this country. \nResist\,\nIndivisible Houston

DESCRIPTION:We’ll have a keg of home brew and kombucha\, some blankets on the grass and an intimate\, bluesy show by the Rainbow Girls – three of my best friends from Bodega Bay\, CA\, stopping through on their south coast house concert tour. We’ll be taking donations and all donations will BENEFIT Houston Stands with Standing Rock. Much thanks to KPFT for hosting us in their awesome backyard! Bring friendly folks\, children are welcome 🙂 \n7 PM – Drinks\, hang out\n8 PM – MUSIC WILL START AT 8 PM \nHere’s some info:\nhttps://www.rainbowgirlsmusic.com/\nemail: rainbowgirlsmusic@gmail.com\ninstagram: rainbowgirlsstomp\ntwitter: @rainbowgirrs \nRainbow Girls is a collaborative of songwriters\, multi-instrumentalists\, vocalists\, and California natives who’ve spent the last 4 years touring Europe and the US as a rock n’ roll band\, but who’ve recently returned to their folkier roots by embarking on a house concert tour across America. This trio version of the band (Eric Chapin\, Caitlin Gowdy and Vanessa May) highlights their rich harmonies\, ageless songwriting\, and soulful\, bluesy sound at it’s rawest form. \nThe ladies came together at an underground open mic in Santa Barbara\, CA in 2010 and since then have released two studio albums\, toured the US and Europe extensively\, and simultaneously developed two different forms of performing: 1) An electric\, rock n’ roll\, foot-stomping spectacular\, enticing people to let loose\, get naked and dance wildly; And 2) An intimate and acoustic set based around their unique harmonies and folkier roots. \nThese are some of my best friends from my earliest days in California and I’m so happy to be able to share them with you. This will also be one of my last hurrahs in Houston for a while so I hope to see you there! \n90.1 FM KPFT Houston \n419 Lovett Blvd\, Houston\, Texas 77006

SUMMARY:"The Joy" a play about Mary Dyer
DESCRIPTION:Renowned actor-playwright\, Jeanmarie (Simpson) Bishop performs her Houston debut of “The Joy”\, a play about pre-First Amendment martyr\, Mary Dyer.\n– The performance is Pay-What-You-Can\, plus bring toiletries for us to make toiltetry packets for Health Care for the Homeless.\n– The performance will be followed by a discussion and pot luck dinner.\n\nThe author-performer says of her subject\, “The American First Amendment had everything to do with Mary Dyer being hanged more than a century before it was drafted. Speaking very personally\, her life – the choices she made\, the way she kept going – has helped me find the ambition to get up many a morning when all I wanted was to crawl under the covers and stay there. M…y insight\, more a revelation\, is that choices make us whole. We are powerful when we choose things\, as opposed to having them thrust upon us and being forced to accept them. Even hard things\, even being executed\, when it’s our choice\, is a liberation. I think about that every day now\, and it’s a gift Mary gave to me.”\n\nKnown for her performance portraits of fierce\, historical women\, Bishop has distinguished herself among her peers in the entertainment industry.\n\nThe late\, great Leonard Nimoy simply called her “brilliant.” Actor Judd Nelson said\, “Ultimately\, I believe Jeanmarie to be one of humanity’s invaluable resources.” Humorist Dylan Brody said\, “She is a terrific writer\, a riveting performer and an artistic activist of the sort all too rarely seen in America today\,” and superstar Joni Mitchell called her “a dedicated artist and remarkable woman.”\n\nhttp://marybarrettdyer.blogspot.com/2011/12/top-10-things-you-may-not-know-about.html
