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. People who want to come stand in solidarity…there is a camp near Marfa\nhttps://www.gofundme.com/Official-Two-Rivers-Camp\n\nWe leave you with words spoken by an elder:\n\nWe know we are trespassing.\nWe are here in peace.\nWe are here in prayer.\n\nResources:\nhttps://www.facebook.com/defendbigbend/timeline\nhttps://www.facebook.com/bigbenddefense/\nhttp://societyofnativenations.org/donate.html\nOther side report: http://www.transpecospipelinefacts.com/

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

SUMMARY:We the People Connect the Dots - Citizens to Rally and March Against Tyranny
DESCRIPTION:PRESS RELEASE\nContacts: \nDaniel Cohen: (832) 489-7643\nEgberto Willies: (281) 826-6979\nwww.facebook.com/indivisiblehouston/\nwww.indivisiblehouston.org \nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE \nWe the People Connect the Dots\nCitizens to Rally and March Against Tyranny in Downtown Houston \nHouston\, TX – (February 13\, 2017) – Most years\, this weekend would be dedicated to the power of the President. 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

SUMMARY:House Concert w/ Rainbow Girls in KPFT backyard
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

SUMMARY:Super Bowl Weekend - Resist Trump Resist Hate
DESCRIPTION:The pledge of allegiance states that we as a country are “one nation\, indivisible” yet our elected president Donald Trump has continuously introduced policies that are dividing us as a nation. We must let him know that we as the MAJORITY do not agree with his hateful rhetoric. His idea of America is not our idea of America. \nAll eyes will be on Houston this weekend for the Super Bowl and this is the perfect time to show the President Trump and Congress that we do not agree with the direction they are taking our country. \nSo bring your signs and let’s exercise our First Amendment Rights and show what Houston is made of! \nEvent Details: \n3:00 pm meet-up at City Hall. We will march from City Hall to Minute Maid Park and finally end up at Discovery Green on the street Avienda De Las Americas. \nTransportation Options: \n2:00 pm I will be at the Park and Ride Post Oak location. The bus leaves at 2:15 pm and we will take bus #161 to get to City Hall. The fare is $1.25 there and $1.25 back so $2.50 roundtrip. \nRemember: \nThis is a peaceful protest. Please no aggressive actions. We can get our message across with numbers and signs and by voting next year. \nSince this is NOT a permitted event we must stick to the sidewalks. A map will be posted by Friday of the marching route. \nAlso please join the group Resist! Houston to keep up to date of local meetups\, protests and events in Houston. \nhttps://www.facebook.com/events/266574653763354/

SUMMARY:Kimchi and Fermented Vegetables
DESCRIPTION:Come learn the ancient art of fermentation! It’s a way to preserve food\, harvest probiotics\, spread food cultures\, and get creative with your food.

Your gut is already thanking you. The class is based on the teachings of Sandor Katz’ book Wild Fermentation\, an essential reference for budding home fermenters.

These nutritious goods have been flavored with dill\, fennel\, oranges\, garlic\, and ginger. Come see what’s in season and make your own combination! \n10% of the proceeds to this class go to AIDA and Survival International. Two organizations that champion tribal peoples and defend their land and culture. As we celebrate their wisdom in our class we will also be sending support for their cultural practices to continue. \nScholarships are available.

These are two of the worst men on the continent\, and they have shown they do not care for Mexican people on either side of the border. The Pena Nieto regime is extremely corrupt\, engages in violent repression\, and has opened up Mexico’s oil resources to exploitation by U.S. capitalists. The new Trump administration is also extremely corrupt\, is planning mass deportations of undocumented immigrants\, and has taken the first steps toward violent repression on the border and in U.S. cities. \nActivists who support the Mexican people living on both sides of the border condemn Trump for his racism and anti-immigrant hysteria–and condemn Pena Nieto for his continuing crimes against the people of Mexico and his collaboration with Trump. We will protest against the meeting of these two presidents on Tuesday\, January 31\, at 5:30 pm\, outside the Mexican Consulate\, 4507 San Jacinto St. Everyone is warmly invited to join us. Together\, we will demand: End the energy reforms in Mexico! Roll back the price of gasoline in Mexico! End the corruption and violent repression in Mexico and the U.S.! No more deportations! No to the wall of hate! \nThis demonstration is being organized by Latinos Inmigrantes Triunfadores\, Houston Socialist Movement\, and Mexicanos en Accion Patriotas.
