Do *you* think the climate crisis deserves its own debate? Between the first two Democratic primary debates, climate change received only 15 minutes of discussion. The greatest crisis of all time, one that affects the whole planet deserves its own debate. We need to ensure that presidential candidates are able to discuss their climate policy, and we need to hold the DNC accountable.

Sunrise Movement NYC will be holding a rally outside the Democratic National Committee offices in Manhattan on 7/22, as part of a
== > nationwide Sunrise Movement campaign to demand a single-issue climate debate. With your help, we will pressure NY’s members of the DNC to vote on holding a climate debate when the DNC gathers in
  == > San Francisco on August 22-24. RSVP, spread the word, and help us give the climate crisis the critical attention it deserves!

* Protest to Demand a Dems Climate Debate

Public · Hosted by The Animals' Battalion
m.me/animalsbattalion  http://www.animalsbattalion.org

An estimated 2.5 million dogs and thousands of cats are slaughtered and eaten as “health food” each year in South Korea.

Forced to endure deprivation and unimaginable torment from the moment they are born until the day they are slaughtered, dogs are imprisoned in cramped, rusty, raised cages all their lives with no protection from extreme weather and no water, exercise, companionship or medical care, never feeling the ground beneath feet. Their eardrums are often burst to prevent them from barking.

In broad daylight, often in front of other live dogs, they are electrocuted, hanged, beaten or burnt to death. This is a profit-driven, tax free, unregulated industry that aggressively promotes the myth that eating a dog (especially the dog’s penis) enhances male virility and gives men energy. In addition, consumption peaks during the hottest days of summer!

Koreans genuinely believe that the more a dog suffers, the more the consumer will enjoy both the health benefits and the meat… Many dogs are sadistically made to experience extreme fear and suffering prior to death. Cats are frequently boiled alive to make tonics believed to treat rheumatism. The demand is so high in South Korea that 20% of the dogs eaten there are now imported from China.

South Korea is the only country known to have large, intensive farming systems to supply the demand for dog meat.

http://koreandogs.org/

We must ACT NOW!

Please join The Animals' Battalion, in solidarity with KoreanDogs.org as well as countless other animal rights activists worldwide in voicing our disgust at the South Korean government's indifference in allowing this senseless barbaric trade to continue and help us raise awareness about the horrendous suffering inflicted upon our best and most loyal friends - the dogs and cats with whom we share our homes and our lives. This demo will be staged in front of the The Korean Consulate in NYC. It will be one of many simultaneous demonstrations across the world for International Day of Action for the Dogs and Cats of South Korea.

Day 1: Chobok 7/12/2019 Friday

Day 2: Jungbok 7/22/2019 Monday

Day 3: Malbok 8/09/2019 Friday (actual date falls on Sunday the 11th; however, we will hold our event on Friday)

Where: Consulate General of the Republic of Korea
460 Park Ave, 57th Street, New York, NY 10022

Time: 3:00 pm - 6:00 pm
(Consulate Hours: Open · 9:00 am – 12:00 pm, 1:30 – 4:00 pm)

Posters and brochures will be provided but homemade posters, props and other materials are encouraged! We also have petitions to be signed and sent to the Ambassador of South Korea.

WHO: You! All peace-loving advocates for democracy in the Philippines and an end to the killings and dictatorship under President Rodrigo Duterte

WHEN: Monday, July 22, Assembly at 6:00pm

WHERE: Philippine Consulate, 556 5th Ave, New York, NY 10036

WHAT: The Malaya Movement is calling on all patriotic Filipinos and allies to organize protests everywhere this coming July 22, 2019 as a massive show of opposition against the dictator, Rodrigo Duterte and his regime as he deliver his 4th State of the Nation Address (SONA).

Tama na! Sobra na! People Power na! National Day of Protest vs Duterte’s Dictatorship

This is our call to action! Let us join the rest of the Filipino people in saying enough is enough of the Duterte regime.

Let us rally everyone to hold large protests everywhere in the United States, especially in Washington D.C. to show our own United People’s SONA against Duterte’s move towards a full fledged dictatorship.

The Filipino people have suffered long enough under Duterte’s anti-people agenda, with the majority of the country and even overseas Filipinos being greatly affected by the TRAIN law of increased taxes and prices on basic commodities. The issue of human rights has caused international alarm at the number of extrajudicial killings in the drug war alone reaching to 30,000.  With the recent midterm election results, the majority of the seats in the Senate now belong to politicians in the pocket of Duterte. We can only suspect that Duterte will now press forward with his agenda to change the Philippine constitution and bend it to his advantage, eliminating term limits, opening up the Philippines to further exploitation of the land and resources to foreign corporations, and giving himself dictatorial powers.

Philippine democracy is under attack by the fascist Duterte regime!

Thousands of people have already been killed, and many more will continue to be targeted under the Drug War.

Poverty is at an all time high, forcing 6,500 people to leave the country daily, and remittances mean less with the TRAIN Law.

Philippine sovereignty will be completely lost.

Let us come together as people united against the fascist Duterte regime to organize the largest national mobilization in the United States on July 22nd, 2019. More and more people are choosing to fight against the Duterte regime and its anti-people and anti-national policies and programs. We must show our full force as a united opposition and raise the international attention on the conditions of the Philippines!

Subject: Come out Monday to support laundromat workers fight against wage theft
From: Toni Arenstein <tonia12@gmail.com>
Date: 7/20/2019, 3:53 PM

Come out {snip} Monday, July 22 to support laundromat workers from Sunshine Laundry.  The owners did not pay the workers minimum wage or overtime for 15 years provided very unsafe working conditions.  In February the workers initiated a struggle against these conditions and won the minimum wage and safer conditions. Then on June 15 the owners said they were closing the laundromat and laid off these workers.

The Laundry Workers Center will be organizing a direct action in front of the home of the owners of the on Monday night at 6:00pm. It's really important to come out and support this action.

The NYC DSA Ecosocialist Working Group is organizing a town hall on Monday, July 22, at 7:00 pm in Astoria, Queens, with Council member Costa Constantinides, to collect public testimony regarding Con Edison's current request to raise electricity and gas prices -- and other issues of energy democracy more broadly.

The town hall will be held in close proximity to multiple dirty gas generator stations.

Con Edison, the investor-owned utility for New York City, wants to raise prices for electricity and gas service in order to, among other things, invest in dirty fossil fuel infrastructure. Con Edison's costs to build and return profit to shareholders on relentless natural gas expansion is forced on all ratepayers; we are thus made complicit in the destruction of our own communities and natural ecosystems. Not to mention, Con Edison's rates are already nearly double the national average, and are the second highest residential rates of any major utility in the country. And this is to say nothing of the unsafe working conditions perpetuated by Con Edison, nor the unjust way any decisions regarding their company, which touches us all, have been made thus far.

The New York Public Service Commission, officially charged with defending our interests, has offered extremely limited opportunity for public, oral testimony on the matter, even after we asked them for basic considerations. So, we have had to take it upon ourselves to offer avenues for the rate payers and local residents affected by Con Edison's decisions to voice what they want.

At the town hall, after brief introductions and background information, we will open the floor for comments from attendees and conversation. A court reporter or other transcriber will be present and will submit all of the testimony from the evening to the Public Service Commission to be included within the formal set of documents of Con Edison's rate case.

ubject: Invitation to Accompany Ravi at Upcoming ICE Check-In
From: Ravi's Defense Committee <ravidefensecommittee@gmail.com>
Date: 7/15/2019, 10:02 AM

Dear Friends,
Thank you for your tireless support of Ravi. We're writing to ask you to show up for Ravi on Wednesday, July 24, at Foley Square, at 8:30am.

As you may know, Ravi cannot be deported because he continues to have a stay of removal from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. Yet ICE refuses to cancel this "check in," forcing him to report to the very place from where he was nearly deported last year.

As ICE aggressively targets our community members, and spends its resources on requiring Ravi and countless others to attend these intrusive check-ins, your support is deeply needed and meaningful. In the spirit of New Sanctuary's accompaniment program, we ask that you all join us in a Jericho Walk and in accompanying Ravi, starting at 8:30am.

In solidarity,

Ravi's Defense Committee

Public Hearing for Ranked Choice Voting
Wednesday, Jul. 24, 6:00PM until ?
NY City Hall  (presumably this time means physical City Hall, i.e., NOT 250 Broadway; arrive prepared for magnetic body search)  (https://actionnetwork.org/events/july-2019-charter-revision-commission-public-hearing)
(212)691.6421  ``Wear red``

from a mailing...

Want to vote for a candidate you actually support without fearing the spoiler effect? Ranked Choice Voting is the answer.

Ranked Choice Voting will be on the ballot this November, allowing New Yorkers to decide whether or not to adopt a top five candidate RCV system for all city offices in primary and special elections.

The Charter Revision Commission will be voting on the RCV referendum ballot language on Wednesday, July 24 — please join us to show your support for this historic vote!

Wednesday, July 24th at 6:00PM
City Hall, NYC 10007
RSVP, bring a friend, and wear red!

Thanks for all that you do,
The RCV:NYC team

What is Ranked Choice Voting?

Ranked Choice Voting is the solution to a winner-takes-all system by allowing voters to rank their choices. Current races with three or more candidates (the majority of our primaries) tend to produce winners without majority support. RCV fixes this.

    It makes elections more positive and collaborative.

    It encourages candidates to reach out to all communities, not just their base.

    It gets rid of expensive run-off elections.

    It allows voters to choose who best represents them without fear of wasting their vote.

    Voters no longer have to choose the lesser of two evils.

We are told that Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi (also known as Mahatma, ‘Great Soul’) was a hero as well as a political and spiritual leader of India. Worldwide, Gandhi is considered a nonviolent hero, a figure one should look up to when considering and going about revolution. However, recently the University of Ghana tore down his statue because they do not look at him as a hero. Why is that? Who considers Gandhi a hero? To whom is Gandhi a tool for continuing systematic oppression? Come find out in this educational, Recontextualizing Gandhi, hosted by the People’s Power Assemblies.

The Uninhabitable Earth: Life After Warming
with author David Wallace-Wells at Revolution Books
437 Malcolm X Blvd / Lenox Ave at W. 132nd
nr. #2. 3, (B), C stops & Bx33 via Madison Av. Bridge & W.135th

This New York Times bestseller is a gripping travelogue of our near future: "It is worse, much worse, than you think." In his much anticipated book, Wallace-Wells brings into focus the impending food and water shortages, rising sea levels displacing tens of millions of people, and the real danger of much of the planet becoming inhospitable to life. He points to the role of the reigning economic and political structures in this crisis. And he shows that the responsibility to act and avoid catastrophe falls on a single generation.

"The Uninhabitable Earth hits you like a comet" —Andrew Solomon

David Wallace-Wells is deputy editor of New York magazine.

Women in Black Union Square Vigil,
Jul. 25 and every Thursday, 5:30-6:30
E. 14th Street & Broadway

Subject: Predicted Thunderstorms Canceling July 18 Women in Black Union Square Vigil; dinner on the UWS instead
From:Sherry Gorelick <sherrygorelick@rcn.com>
Date:7/17/2019, 11:10 PM

The Thunderstorms that have already begun in NYC threaten to continue through Thursday night. So we are canceling the June 18th Women in Black Union Square vigil.

We had planned to meet for dinner after the vigil to bid a fond farewell to Marty Rajandran who has been a stalwart of Women in Black, as well as of the Grannies and many other justice organizations. (Marty is moving to Florida to help her daughter and granddaughter, and will join activist groups there.)

Because the weather requires canceling the vigil, we will meet earlier, on the UWS, at 5:15 p.m., at Kouzan Japanese Restaurant, 685 Amsterdam Avenue ( NE corner of 93rd St.) You are invited to join us then, as we express our gratitude to Marty for her dedication to justice.

Women in Black began in Israel in 1988, when a group of women stood in vigil in Jerusalem, holding signs saying "Stop the Violence: NEGOTIATE!" The movement spread throughout Israel, and then throughout the world. Women in Black Union Square is part of the International movement of Women in Black vigils around the world saying, END THE OCCUPATION of PALESTINIAN LANDS!

As a solidarity group  within the United States  we demand that the U.S. stop supplying Israel with deadly munitions used to kill civilians, and stop politically supporting Israel's oppression and murder of the Palestinians. We demand that the U.S. support Palestinian human rights at the UN.

Please join us NEXT WEEK at the Women in Black Union Square Vigil,
Thursday, July 25,  5:30-6:30 14th Street & Broadway as we say End the Occupation!

NOTE: Women in Black Union Square (NYC) is a group of women (and some men) of diverse religious and national backgrounds. We stand at Union Square EVERY THURSDAY, with the following exceptions:
The following holidays: We do not hold the vigil when it falls on the first day of  Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur, the first night of Passover or major national  holidays (Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's day.)
 
Severe weather, as follows: If it gets too cold we will leave early. We will not hold the  vigil when the temperature is lower than 40 degrees F,, higher than 90 degrees, or in blizzard, or thunderstorm. When the weather is a bit troublesome but not prohibitive, we sometimes move down the block, chasing the shade, or across the street, to escape the raindrops. Please look for us.  And if the weather permits, PLEASE JOIN US!

In Imperialism, Lenin provided a collective analysis for collective liberation. Following his methods, we will study his text collectively. Our shared reading will focus on three questions: First: How did Lenin shape, frame, and build his analysis? Second: How did this analysis influence anti-imperialist strategy in his moment? Our answers to these questions will guide our final question: How can we better understand imperialism today, in order to build effective anti-imperial strategy for today’s world?

Background: 227 Duffield St., located on Abolitionist Place in downtown Brooklyn, is the last known standing historic site in Brooklyn where well-known abolitionists lived and where Black people found freedom through the Underground Railroad.   Since the City’s downtown Brooklyn development plan demolished all other Duffield Street historic residences, 227 Duffield represents the last known standing property to continue the legacy of African American history of resistance in New York City and nationwide and should be preserved as a city landmark.   The demolition of 227 Duffield is imminent -- Unless WE STOP It

Dear Cuba Solidarity Activists and All Friends of Cuba:

Please join with the New York-New Jersey Cuba Si Coalition on
Saturday, July 27 for our annual celebration of the July 26, 1953 assault on the Moncada Barracks that was the spark that led to the triumph of the Cuban Revolution 60 years ago. This year’s event will be a Celebration with friends, family, and comrades-in-the-struggle with lots of food, drink, and the great music of BombaYo, but also a chance to learn about and protest the latest and deepening US attacks and sanctions against Cuba by the Donald Trump White House.

In solidarity and struggle,

Ike Nahem, Cuba Solidarity New York
 
Hear: Representative, Cuban Mission to the United Nations
• Bob Guild — Updates on your right to travel to Cuba
• Gail Walker — Director, IFCO/PASTORS FOR PEACE, just returned IFCO Caravan to Cuba
• VENCEREMOS BRIGADE
• Representative from Venezuela
• Ed Ortiz, Call to Action on Puerto Rico

In recent months, the US government has escalated political belligerence, economic war, and military threats against the sovereign states of Venezuela and Cuba. The New York-New Jersey Cuba Si Coalition protests the Trump Administration’s escalation of restrictions against Cuba and US intervention in Venezuela.

With the failure of the April 30 US-directed coup in Venezuela, US officials tried to blame Cuba for their own debacle. They falsely claim Cuba has 20,000 troops in Venezuela. What Cuba has is 20,000 doctors and other volunteers serving working-class and rural communities across Venezuela – an example of the international solidarity Cuba practices all over the world.

These lies against Cuba were used as a pretext to begin enforcing a measure—the so-called Title III part of the 1996 Helms-Burton Act—that opens the floodgates for lawsuits by US citizens regarding property nationalized after the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in accordance with Cuban and international law. These property claims were all settled by Cuba with the rest of the world in the 1960s – Washington alone refused to settle. US policy was instead to seek the violent overthrow of the Cuban revolutionary government.

The Trump administration has also announced the unilateral cancellation of cruise ship fleets and companies from stopping in Cuba as well as new restrictions on people-to-people exchanges between the US and Cuba. These and other sanctions with an extraterritorial character are already causing hardship in Cuba and are hated around the world.

📣Let’s talk about the impending Bushwick Rezoning!

Mi Casa No Es Su Casa invites all neighbors to the Battle 4 Bushwick TownHall - Foro Comunitario Batalla x Bushwick to learn about the Dept. of City Planning's (DCP) & Brooklyn Community Board 4 (CB4) plans to rezone Bushwick to the detriment of the community!

🗓Sunday, 7/28/19, 2-5pm Mayday Space -176 St. Nicholas Ave, Brooklyn, 3rd floor* (*event will be livestreamed for those unable to access 3rd floor. Breakout group from 4-5pm on 1st floor.)

🤔What is a rezoning anyway? A rezoning is government process to change the potential use for a plot of land that usually allows for upzoning in NYC neighborhoods that often brings luxury development and mass displacement.

🤨Why Bushwick? In 2014, Community Board 4 began a process to request that Dept. of City Planning downzone smaller streets in neighborhood in response to mini-towers in the middle of streets. But DCP had other plans, and are now trying to begin the rezoning process via ULURP as early as December 2019!

🤔What is the plan? 📣Come learn about the DCP & CB4 Rezoning Plans, participate in break out group sessions where together we will come up with alternative solutions to gain benefits the hood deserves without having to sacrifice low-income housing, and learn how to get involved in the #BATTLE4BUSHWICK to keep our working class black and brown families in our homes!

✊🏾Housing Court Resources & Know Your Rights Materials will be provided! More info @MiCasaResiste on FB, IG, Twitter + micasanoessucasanyc@gmail.com

📣¡Hablemos de la inminente rezonificación de Bushwick!
Mi Casa No Es Su Casa invita a todos los vecinos a este Foro Comunitario en Bushwick a conocer los planes del Departamento de Planificación de la Ciudad (DCP) y de la Junta Comunitaria de Brooklyn 4 (CB4) para rezonificar a Bushwick.

🗓-Cuando: domingo, 28 de julio de 2019, 2pm-5pm
-Donde: MayDay Space-176 St. Nicholas Ave, Brooklyn, 3er piso *
(*evento será transmitido en vivo para aquellos que no puedan acceder al 3er piso. Grupo de trabajo de 4 a 5 pm en el 1er piso.)

🤔¿Qué es una rezonificación? Una rezonificación es un proceso del gobierno para cambiar el uso potencial de una parcela de tierra que generalmente permite la alta zonificación en los vecindarios de la Ciudad de Nueva York que a menudo trae el desarrollo de lujo y el desplazamiento masivo.

🤨¿Por qué Bushwick? En 2014, el Consejo Comunitario 4 comenzó un proceso para solicitar que el Depto. De Planificación de la Ciudad redujera las calles más pequeñas en el vecindario en respuesta a las mini torres en medio de las calles. ¡Pero DCP tiene otros planes, y están intentando comenzar el proceso de rezonificación a través de ULURP a partir de diciembre 2019!

🤔¿Cuál es el plan? 📣Venga y aprenda sobre los planes de rezonificación de DCP y CB4, participe en sesiones grupales de donde encontraremos soluciones alternativas para obtener los beneficios que merece nuestro barrio sin tener que sacrificar viviendas de bajos ingresos, y aprenda cómo participar en la #BATALLAXBUSHWICK para mantener a nuestras familias Latinas y Negras en nuestros hogares!

✊🏾¡Se proveerá recursos de la Corte de Vivienda y materiales para que Conozca sus Derechos! Más información @MiCasaResiste en FB , IG, Twitter + micasanoessucasanyc@gmail.com

Mi Casa No Es Su Casa: Illumination Against Gentrification — Anti-gentrification activists Mi Casa No Es Su Casa: Illumination Against Gentrification went on the offensive Thursday night in the “Battle for Bushwick,” interrupting a public scoping meeting for the controversial Bushwick rezoning project.The protest came as the Department of City Planning listened to input about its Bushwick Neighborhood Plan, a rezoning project that has been met with resistance from residents who are calling instead for the adoption of the Bushwick Community Plan, an alternative proposal designed by local residents and politicians that focuses on downzoning.... Mi Casa activists, on the other hand, positioned themselves against any type of rezoning, community-driven or not.“Today we’re here to tell the community board to stop engaging with the DCP because the DCP never does what benefits the community. All the services and benefits that they are looking for through the rezoning — they are things that the community already deserves. Why should it be based on luxury development all the time?" The DCP will accept public comments on Bushwick Neighborhood Plan until July 12. Submit ideas & feedback to bushwickneighborhoodplan@planning.nyc.gov and visit the DCP’s website to stay up-to-date on events.Meanwhile, Mi Casa has invited residents to attend a Town Hall to organize against rezoning on July 28 [at Mayday Space in Bushwick]. -Brooklyn Eagle

The NYC-DSA Immigrant Justice Working Group is pleased to host a Know Your Rights Training for our working group and the wider DSA community. Staff attorneys from the Immigrant Defense Project (https://www.immigrantdefenseproject.org/) will lead the training. For six years, IDP has been monitoring immigration (ICE) raids in New York, and training community members and advocates on ICE tactics and arrest trends. Understanding ICE tactics can help shed light on how those at risk of deportation can prepare and how to strategize about ways to fight back through organizing and/or in the courts.
 
At a time when ICE raids, detention, and deportation of immigrants are on the rise, we should all know what our rights are. Who is at risk of arrest by ICE? What should you do if ICE knocks on your door? How can you tell the difference between the police and ICE? What can you do as a bystander if you are witnessing an ICE raid or arrest? We'll provide information about the current climate for immigrants in New York and will answer these questions and more.

All of the Immigrant Defense Project ICE Raids materials can be found at immdefense.org/raids and include Know Your Rights flyers, posters, and booklets in multiple languages as well as a toolkit on ICE raids (Eng/Sp). There is also a set of infographics on who is at risk of deportation, ruses, and what to do if ICE violates your rights (available in Eng/Sp).

For anyone interested in learning about ICE enforcement trends before the training, IDP's ICEwatch map has over 1000 reports of ICE raids and the accompanying report from last summer highlights some of the most common tactics we've seen in the last few years (immdefense.org/icewatch).

A solid crew of pipeline fighters from across New York State are engaging in corporate utility rate cases. This is where utilities ask the Public Service Commission to raise our rates for specific projects. The corporate utilities are used to suits and lawyers in the room with them, and typically get there way with mo' fossil fuels! But in the past couple of years, people are beginning to FIGHT BACK and intervene for community voices to be heard!

Come learn how to intervene, and how to file a public comment in current rate cases happening in New York City.

And we promise great after-work snacks!

Sane Energy Project opposes the development, transport and export of shale gas. We support the goal of New York State being 100% renewable by 2050.

In 2018 New York City became the first city in the world to directly respond to the unrestricted growth of app-based car fleets like Uber and Lyft and the declining wages of their drivers. Intended to curb congestion and address equity in the system, the regulations being imposed are not immovable limits. And because New York City has led the way in collecting important details about traffic, app-based trips, and drivers’ earnings, the solutions are based on actual data from the streets and must change when the day-to-day circumstances demand it.

Join us for a presentation by Meera Joshi, Visiting Scholar at NYU Wagner and former Chair of the New York City Taxi and Limousine Commission, to hear how these regulations work in practice, how they are affecting ridership across the city, and the lessons other cities can learn from New York's experience as they face similar challenges. A conversation with Sarah M. Kaufman, Associate Director of the NYU Rudin Center for Transportation, will follow.

> What’s going on right now in Venezuela? Come see for yourself how Venezuelans are coping with US economic sanctions designed to cause a social implosion. According to the Independent of England, in Venezuela people hunt the animals of the zoo to eat them. According to the mainstream media, Venezuelans also eat rottten meat and garbage. these reports, give a distorted picture of what is happening in Venezuela . The media also omits serious analysis of the role of the government—community partnership “CLAP” food distribution program that reaches millions of Venezuelans. There is no doubt as indicated in a recent report by CEPR that the US imposed sanctions do kill and cause increasing collective hardship.

> Join us in a delegation dedicated to studying the actual conditions on the ground and the struggle for food secuirity and food sovereignty in Venezuela, at a time when the Donald Trump’s administration has initiated a new series of sanctions against the food programs that the Venezuelan state has created
