SUMMARY:WIRN webinar: US aggression towards Venezuela and its repercussions for Latin America
DESCRIPTION:The recent U.S. military attacks and threats on Venezuela are just its latest acts of war on its southern neighbor. The Trump regime appears more determined than ever to bring about regime change in this country that has the largest proven reserves of oil in the world. The danger of this U.S aggression is not just to the people of Venezuela\, but to the rest of Latin America as well\, especially to the targeted nations of Cuba\, Nicaragua\, and Colombia. The U.S.\, under the banner of the Monroe Doctrine\, considers all of Latin America its sphere of influence and means to reinvigorate its dominance and exploitation of natural resources there. Capturing Venezuela would be a jewel in the imperial crown\, but it would also inevitably lead to more and more neo-colonization throughout the hemisphere. \nThis event will be held on Wednesday\, January 14 from 8:00 pm to 9:30 pm.

SUMMARY:Sign the petition: Tell the Senate to oppose all funding for ICE before 1/30!
DESCRIPTION:ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement) has operated for years with extraordinary power and almost no accountability. The result has been predictable and devastating: excessive force\, civil rights violations\, secrecy\, and a culture that treats abuse as collateral damage. \nSince this weekend’s killing of Alex Pretti by federal agents\, many Democrats are speaking out and are demanding a fundamental change in how Congress approaches ICE funding. \nBut words are not enough. As long as Congress continues to approve funding without enforceable reforms\, nothing changes. Investigations stall. Oversight fails. Communities pay the price. \nGovernment funding runs out on 1/30. This is the leverage point. \nThe House has passed a DHS funding bill that does not rein in ICE\, but it still has to pass the Senate. Senate Democrats must refuse to fund ICE unless reforms are written into law and backed by real enforcement. No more funding first\, accountability later. \nSenate Democrats have the power to force this choice\, and some Republicans might join them. Every member of Congress needs to know the public is watching. Please sign the petition to the Senate now.

SUMMARY:National Wildlife Federation: Virtual roundtable discussion on AI data centers
DESCRIPTION:Hosted by the Clean Economy Coalition of Color\, join the National Wildlife Federation’s Environmental Justice\, Health\, and Community Resilience and Revitalization program for a second roundtable discussion on data center developments and their impacts on our lives. \nModerated by Dr. Khalil Shahyd\, learn from a panel of experts about the current policy landscape for data center developments and potential avenues for stronger public health protections. With greater federal interest in expanding the artificial intelligence industry\, many people have questions about the impact of data center infrastructures on the health of local residents and natural resources as well as their ability to participate in these decisions. Join us and connect with other attendees on this critical issue! \nAttendees will have the opportunity to ask panelists questions and discuss their own experiences with data center developments during the roundtable. We are also accepting video and audio question submissions to share with panelists before the roundtable and to share on our program’s Instagram in the weeks leading up to the event. \nThis event will be held on Thursday February 19 at 6:00 pm. Online registration is required. \n
