[SDCPJ] San Diego: May 11, 1 pm. Standing united as a global village on Mother's Day

I'm forwarding this message from Joan Sheagren-Hayes Morris:

Please stand with us for five minutes of silence at 1 p.m. local time on May 11, 2014, in Balboa Park at the large fountain by the Museum of Natural History, to signify your agreement with the Standing Women Mission to encourage peace, equality and respect for all peoples and for the earth. We ask you to invite the men who you care about to join you. We ask that you bring bells to ring at 1 p.m. to signify the beginning of the five minutes of silence and to ring again to signify the end of the period of silence. During the silence, please think about what you individually and we collectively can do to attain this world. If you need to sit rather than stand, please feel free to do so. Afterwards, hopefully you and your loved ones can talk together about how we can bring about this world.

Hi Michael –

Our democracy has been overtaken by corporate interests who have bought favor with politicians, putting up huge roadblocks to any legislation that benefits people.

But all over the country people are fighting back and demanding change. In light of the recent Supreme Court McCutcheon v. FEC decision, we need this effort now more than ever. America needs a 28th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution that declares that We the People have the authority to regulate election spending and that corporations shall not be endowed with the same rights and privileges as human beings.

Join us at the 28th Amendment National Roadshow Conference in Los Angeles on April 26. Click here to register.

I will be presenting at the 28th Amendment Roadshow about how grassroots organizations can help in the fight to amend the Constitution and how Supreme Court cases like Citizens United and McCutcheon continue to erode our democracy.

We hope you'll join us in this most important of fights.

Sincerely,

Jeff

[SDCPJ] Monday, 4/21, 7 pm, The Battle for Justice in Palestine - Ali Abunimah

-please forward widely- Monday, April 21, 2014, 7pm SDSU Intercultural Center 2nd Floor Aztec Student Union Bldg. Join with the SDSU Arab Students Association and Students for Justice in Palestine to hear Journalist and co-founder of the Electronic Intifada Ali Abunimah discuss his new book The Battle for Justice in Palestine
	Efforts to achieve a "two-state solution" have finally collapsed; the struggle for justice in Palestine is at a crossroads. As Israel and its advocates lurch toward greater extremism, many ask where the struggle is headed. Ali Abunimah offers a clear analysis of this crossroads moment and looks forward with urgency down the path to a more hopeful future. "Every community that stands fast, loving its people and its land, its customs and its ways, will be seen, eventually, as worthy of saving. This is because it is our own humanity we are learning from, our own value. There will also arise a special voice to champion us, one that is brave, trustworthy and true. In The Battle for Justice in Palestine it is the voice of Ali Abunimah, fierce, wise - a warrior for justice and peace - someone whose large heart, one senses, beyond his calm, is constantly on fire. A pragmatist but also a poet. This is the book to read to understand the present bizarre and ongoing complexity of the Palestine/Israel tragedy." Alice Walker

As a member of this email list, you certainly care about peace and justice and have heard our name, so we want to hear from YOU!

The focus group will take 60 minutes or less. It will be held at the PRC. To be prepared for the special handful that participate, we request that you REPLY to this email with your name and contact info (email and/or phone) and the times you are available in order of preference:

Sat 3/29 10am-11am

**IF** you are interested, but none of the listed times work for you, we STILL want to hear from you. So please send us a message saying so. Perhaps we will schedule another focus group or perhaps there is another way for you to share your thoughts.
