SUMMARY:Medicare for All Townhall & Health Fair Supporting HR 676
DESCRIPTION:We want our representatives to support Medicare for ALL\, so we are hosting a Town Hall on July 8th\, the same day events will be going on across the country to DEMAND Independence from Privatized Healthcare! \nJoin elected members of the U.S. House of Representatives from Harris County in a town hall discussion on H.R.676 – Expanded & Improved Medicare For All Act. \nAll Harris County members of the House of Representatives will be invited to this Town Hall meeting\, and we will hold this meeting with or without them. Hopefully they will all attend so we can find out why they are not pushing for each one of us to have the same health insurance that covers them and their families. \nWe believe that Healthcare is a human right\, and should be accessible and obtainable by all\, regardless of wealth. \nBefore the Town Hall\, we will be hosting a community Health Fair inviting local clinics and Healthcare advocacy organizations to participate. \nThe event is being hosted by Democratic Socialists of America – Houston\, Houston Area Progressives\, and Our Revolution Texas Gulf Coast.

SUMMARY:Two Houston Quakers Visit Israel / Palestine
DESCRIPTION:Ever wonder how the $10 million we give to Israel every day is used? Can there ever be peace in Israel / Palestine? What should America’s role be there? \nTwo Quakers have recently returned from an interfaith delegation to Palestine and Israel. They will share photos and stories from their experiences after staying with families\, meeting with Israeli and Palestinian peace activists and non-governmental organizations and experiencing life on both sides of the separation barrier. \nCome and join us\, experience life today in the area and learn about the struggles and hopes for the region. \nTwo Quakers from Live Oak Friends Meeting in Houston have recently returned from an interfaith delegation to Palestine and Israel. They and twenty-eight other participants from the United States\, Canada and the UK had the unique opportunity to hear directly from Palestinians and Israelis regarding the role of the United States in the pursuit of a just peace. The US government is the most dominant international player in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. \nBridget Lois Jensen is a second-generation Houstonian with a family history of service to the people of the city. Believing that Houston’s diversity is an asset only if the various communities develop relationships with one another\, she became involved in interfaith and cross-cultural activities with such organizations as Interfaith Ministries of Greater Houston and the Center for the Healing of Racism. About her trip\, Ms. Jensen says\, “Though peace through political means has been elusive\, I witnessed a visceral hope in the people we met who are living in the midst of the conflict. I saw how their resiliency\, courage\, and commitment to preserving human dignity feed this hope and inspire individuals from various countries who accompany them. I too have been inspired and I want to share their stories and my experience so others will want to join this community of hope.” \nAlex McDonald is an entrepreneur and a Quaker committed to the American values of freedom and equality. Having been a student of the Israeli / Palestinian conflict for many years\, Mr. McDonald is grateful to have had the opportunity to see first-hand the implications of U.S. policies and to be able to separate fact from fiction in what we hear in the news. He thinks that the images from the trip will speak for themselves. \nBridget and Alex will share photos and stories from their experiences after staying with families\, meeting with Israeli and Palestinian peace activists and non-governmental organizations and experiencing life on both sides of the separation barrier. \nCome and join us\, experience life today in the area and learn about the struggles and hopes for the region.
