We've just learned about a new anti-abortion bill that will be introduced in the coming weeks.
Thursday, July 15, 2021, 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM
From AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Association): Please call your Senators to urge passage of the American Dream and Promise Act (H.R. 6) and the Farm Workforce Modernization Act, FWMA, (H.R. 1603) passed the U.S. House of Representatives with bipartisan support on March 18, 2021. These bills, which would provide a path to citizenship to Dreamers, DED and TPS holders, as well as farm workers and their immediate family members, have stalled in the Senate. The best path forward is to include a pathway to citizenship in the budget reconciliation process.https://www.aila.org/takeaction#/105.

Join the Revolutionary Socialist Network to discuss Palestine: A Socialist Introduction, which systematically tackles a number of important aspects of the Palestinian struggle for liberation, contextualizing it in an increasingly polarized world and offering a socialist perspective on how full liberation can be won.
Through an internationalist, anti-imperialist lens, this book explores the links between the struggle for freedom in the United States and that struggle in Palestine and beyond. It examines both the historical and contemporary trajectory of the Palestine solidarity movement in order to glean lessons for today’s organizers, and compellingly lays out the argument that, in order to achieve justice in Palestine, the movement has to take up the question of socialism, regionally and internationally.
Contributors include: Jehad Abusalim, Shireen Akram-Boshar, Omar Barghouti, Nada Elia, Toufic Haddad, Remi Kanazi, Annie Levin, Mostafa Omar, Khury Petersen-Smith, and Daphna Thier.
June 6: Chapters 1-3
