World Refugee Day: Conversation on Helping Ukraine’s Refugees Fleeing War (hybrid event) @ Online & Commonwealth Club
Jun 21 @ 12:30 pm – 1:30 pm
As we mark World Refugee Day, an international day to honor refugees, we invite you to celebrate the strength and courage of all those forced to flee their homes in Ukraine since
the start of the Russian invasion in February.

In-person: $10 members & $20 nonmembers

Online: $5 members & $10 nonmembers

RSVP: https://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2022-06-21/helping-ukraines-refugees

Multiple organizations and individuals are lending their support to the estimated 6.8 million refugees from Ukraine who have fled to Poland, Romania and throughout the European Union. In addition, there are an estimated 8 million people displaced within the country, all of whom are seeking shelter and safety.

After more than three months of war, this refugee crisis continues unabated, and even if a peace agreement were signed tomorrow, this conflict-driven mass migration will continue to impact millions, not only in Europe but also around the globe.

How can we plan to support the Ukrainian community throughout the crisis and after the war ends as they return, resettle and rebuild?

Join this conversation with leaders from two of the many organizations working with displaced Ukrainian families and learn firsthand about the situation today facing refugees from the war in Ukraine.

Ostap Korkuna is co-chairman of Nova Ukraine, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing humanitarian aid to the people of Ukraine and raising awareness about Ukraine in the United States as well as in the rest of the world.

Joy Sisisky is interim CEO of the Jewish Community Federation and Endowment Fund here in the Bay Area. She recently spent time traveling to the border between Ukraine and Poland to stand witness at this monumental time in history, provide relief, and welcome Ukrainian Jewish families at the start of their very long journeys.

What is being done to assist the mostly women and children forced to flee their homes, and what can you do to help?

Yippie Girl: Author Reading @ Books, Inc
Jun 22 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm

In 1968, a 24-year-old woman moved to Berkeley, California and immediately became enmeshed in the Youth International Party, aka The Yippies, a recently-formed satirical protest group. In the next few years, Judy Gumbo (a nickname given her by Eldridge Cleaver), was soon at the center of counter-cultural activity—from protests in People’s Park, to meetings at Black Panther headquarters, to running a pig for President at the raucous Democratic National Convention in Chicago, a protest that devolved into violent attacks by the police and arrests that led to the notorious Chicago Conspiracy Trial.

In this insider feminist memoir, Gumbo reveals intimate details of her fellow radicals Jerry Rubin, Nancy Kurshan, Anita & Abbie Hoffman, Eldridge & Kathleen Cleaver, Paul Krassner, Stew Albert, and more, detailing their experiences in radical anti-war protests and her own skirmishes with, and victory over, illegal FBI surveillance.

Yippie Girl explores Gumbo’s life as a protester to show that, while circumstances always change, protesters can stay loyal to the causes they believe in and remain true to themselves. She also reveals how dogmatism, authoritarianism, and interpersonal conflict can damage those same just causes, offering a timeless and strategic guide for activists today protesting against injustice in all its forms.

 

Praise for Yippie Girl: Exploits in Protest & Defeating the FBI

“We have to get our history right. So young folks can see where we were coming from… And Yippie Girl tells it like it is.”
 Bobby Seale, Founding chairman and national organizer of the Black Panther Party

“Love the writing: VERY live, immediate – this does not feel like ancient history, it’s living and breathing in our lives right now. It’s part of our power, people power.” � Kris Welch, Host, The Talkies, KPFA-FM

“Gumbo delivers a sharp-edged memoir of years of protest and resistance . . . A welcome addition to the literature of radical activism in the age of Johnson, Nixon, and beyond.”  Kirkus Reviews

“The subject JUDY GUMBO is considered to be the most vicious, the most anti-American, the most anti-establishment, and the most dangerous to the internal security of the United States.”  FBI

“Judy Gumbo was and is quite a dame. Her new book is splendid.”
Susan Brownmiller, feminist, activist, author, Against Our Will, Men, Women and Rape

“With the world fractured by orchestrated divisiveness, Yippie Girl is a healing balm.”
�� Meegan Lee Ochs, daughter of Phil Ochs; Artist Relations Manager, ACLU of Southern California

Protest US Escalation in Ukraine! No More Weapon Sales @ Barbara Lee's Office
Jun 23 @ 11:30 am – 1:30 pm
On Thursday June 23 we will be gathering outside Rep Barbara Lee’s office in Oakland to protest her recent vote for $40 billion for the war in Ukraine. This demonstration is in conjunction with the International Day of Action for Peace in Ukraine called by the Peace in Ukraine Coalition.

This massive funding package represents a clear escalation of the war in Ukraine by the government of the United States using the Ukrainian people as cannon fodder in a proxy war with Russia. It will prolong the war, resulting in thousands more Ukrainian and Russian deaths, at the very least. It risks escalating and widening the scope of the war – up to and including nuclear war.

Despite promising just two months ago to “work relentlessly toward de-escalation” of the war in Ukraine, California Congresswoman Barbara Lee voted in lockstep with every Democrat in Congress behind President Biden’s war policy without voicing such questions or concerns and without a single mention of diplomacy or de-escalation. Billions in funding for the war serves the interests of weapons manufacturers and military contractors who are making huge profits from this war and not those of working and oppressed people worldwide, who now face even more dire prospects from food and fuel shortages than before the onset of this war.

Join us at Barbara Lee’s Oakland office to say:

– Vote NO on the next weapons supplemental for Ukraine and support oversight hearings on prior weapons shipments.

– Urge President Biden to back a negotiated settlement that recognizes the security interests of all stakeholders and to lift key sanctions in return for concessions from Russia.

– “Work relentlessly for de-escalation” and not for more war.

Anti-SWEEPstakes Showdown
Jun 23 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
NO COPS IN PRIDE (or anywhere)
STREET SWEEPS KILL QUEERS

‘Love Will Keep Us Together,’ but only for the state.

Mayor London Breed sweeps houseless queer and trans youth from the Tenderloin just in time for corporate Pride’s open air beer garden. The preparation is a community affair as Urban Alchemy, case managers, and Karen “safety” snitch have rubbed their fingers raw by calling 911. Two million people scamper in to attend San Francisco’s massive LGBTQ+ themed blue lives matter march— a dress rehearsals for death squads. It’s no secret that policing is a sign of fascism, and Supervisor Rafael Mendlemn just can’t get enough. 500 more, 500 more! Meanwhile in the Mission, business owners clear tents to make way for outdoor dining “parklets” that are locked up at night to assure no one can use them for shelter. Breed’s police state won’t be taking Pride weekend off from its “Care Court,” where “care” means torture for those that don’t have the celebrity to fight off their conservatorship. DPW won’t sweep up the Pride afterparty but they will boost your HIV meds if it’s in a tent and SFPD cleans up, if by clean up you mean make off with the COVID money while it’s impossible to find a testing site.

Despite a 2 year hiatus where we tore down colonizer statues, dispossession is still at the heart of rainbow capitalism’s colonial catastrophe. Looting keeps us together~~~<3

Burn the Page: A True Story of Torching Doubts, Blazing Trails, and Igniting Change @ Online
Jun 26 @ 5:00 pm – 6:30 pm

Please join KPFA for a very special matinee Zoom Event on when we welcome Delegate Danica Roem and her new book, Burn the Page: A True Story of Torching Doubts, Blazing Trails, and Igniting Change in conversation with Charlie Jane Anders.

“this colorful, no-holds-barredd account of Roem’s life and political work still delights for its unabashed candor. An inspiring story of self-acceptance and determination.”Kirkus Reviews

An inspirational memoir-meets-manifesto by Danica Roem, the nation’s first openly trans person elected to US state legislature.

TICKETS AND MORE INFO AVAILABLE HERE

Danica Roem made national headlines when–as a transgender former frontwoman for a metal band and a political newcomer–she unseated Virginia’s most notoriously anti-LGBTQ 26-year incumbent Bob Marshall as state delegate. But before Danica made history, she had to change her vision of what was possible in her own life. Doing so was a matter of storytelling: during her campaign, Danica hired an opposition researcher to dredge up every story from her past that her opponent might seize on to paint her negatively.

In wildly entertaining prose, Danica dismantles all the stories her opponents tried to hedge against her, showing how through brutal honesty and loving authenticity, it’s possible to embrace the low points, and even transform them into her greatest strengths. Burn the Page takes readers from Danica’s lonely, closeted, and at times operatically tragic childhood to her position as a rising star in a party she’s helped forever change.

Delegate Danica Roem, part of the historic group that flipped Republican seats in the 2017 election, is the first out-and-seated transgender state legislator in American history. Prior to her political career, Roem was a journalist and now serves as a frequent guest on national media. She and her work have been featured in USA Today, People, GQ, The New York Times, Elle, and many others, and was the subject of the GLAAD award-winning documentary This Is How We Win.

Charlie Jane Anders’ books include Victories Greater Than DeathNever Say You Can’t SurviveThe City in the Middle of the Night and All the Birds in the Sky. She’s won the Hugo, Nebula, Sturgeon, Lambda Literary, Crawford and Locus Awards. Her fiction and journalism have appeared in the New York Times, the Washington Post, Slate, McSweeney’s, Mother Jones, Wired Magazine, and other places. Her TED Talk, “Go Ahead, Dream About the Future” got 700,000 views in its first week. With Annalee Newitz, she co-hosts the podcast Our Opinions Are Correct.

Socialist Night School: Black Reconstruction in America: The General Strike @ Online
Jun 28 @ 6:30 pm – 7:30 pm

“Easily the most dramatic episode in American history was the sudden move to free four million black slaves in an effort to stop a great civil war, to end forty years of bitter controversy, and to appease the moral sense of civilization.”

W.E.B Dubois’ classic book “Black Reconstruction in America” flipped prevailing narratives about Reconstruction on their head. Bringing a materialist analysis of history to the forefront. Dubois analyzes the conditions of the white workers, the north, planters, and slaves before the Civil War and how these conditions led to the war breaking out. In the chapter “The General Strike”, we’ll take a look at how the actions of the slaves in particular solidified the defeat of the Confederacy and their own freedom.

Julian Assange Birthday Rally #FreeAssangeNOW @ Harry Bridges Plaza, Between SF Ferry Building & Market St.
Jul 3 @ 10:30 am – 12:00 pm
Please join us to celebrate Julian Assange’s birthday and rally for his freedom! His life- along with our future freedom of Speech and Journalism- depends on it.

Julian Assange is an innocent journalist, jailed and tortured for revealing TRUTH. Global citizens deserve to know of the US/UK war crimes done in their names and with their tax dollars. Julian remains held on remand, at the behest of the USA, in Belmarsh Prison, London.

If the USA succeeds in his extradition, he will serve 175 years in the worst kind of prison; pursued under the 1917 Espionage Act. This sets a dangerous History- changing precedent for any journalist anywhere in the world and forever threatens Journalism and Freedom of Speech.

Speakers, information/flyers, cupcakes and camaraderie will be on hand.

The United States extradition of Julian Assange looms ominously this week as UK Home Secretary Priti Patel is due to deliver her decision by June 17, unless she requests an extension.

How Julian Assange’s family copes and fights for his release:

Julian Assange’s wife, Stella Moris Assange, reveals how they raise children together while he is in jail awaiting an extradition decision: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2022-06-08/stella-moris-my-life-with-julian-assange-extradition/101132624

Stella writes about what it is like for their children to visit Julian in Belmarsh prison:
https://twitter.com/StellaMoris1/status/1534278367419179022?s=20&t=KzAUHNK1ImJMgAkz2yMBCg

Ithakamovie.com:
Gabriel Shipton’s new movie, Ithaka, will soon be launching in the UK.  Ithaka premiered at the Sydney Film Festival in November 2021, and at the Capricorn Film Festival in Queensland, the film won awards for Best Documentary and Best Direction. There is no word yet on plans for showings in the USA, but we will keep you posted.

About the film:
A moving and intimate portrayal of one father’s fight to save his son, Ithaka exposes the brutal realities of the campaign to free Julian Assange.
The world’s most famous political prisoner, WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, has become an emblem of an international arm wrestle over freedom of journalism, government corruption and unpunished war crimes.

Now with Julian facing a 175-year sentence if extradited to the US, his family members are confronting the prospect of losing Julian forever to the abyss of the US justice system.  This David-and-Goliath struggle is personal – and, with Julian’s health declining in a British maximum-security prison, the clock is ticking.

Now it’s up to Julian’s father, John Shipton, and fiancé (at the time of filming) Stella Moris, to join forces to advocate for Julian on this international odyssey. As they rally a world-wide network of supporters and politicians, they cautiously step into the media’s glare – and are forced to confront the events that made Julian a global flashpoint.

What Can You Do?
If you can’t join us for an event, consider taking a stand to educate others on your own or with friends. We’d love to promote your event on the website & social media to inspire others. Informing others, calling your Representatives & signing petitions are powerful actions.

Resources:
https://bayaction2freeassange.org/resources/ https://assangedefense.org/take-action/ https://dontextraditeassange.com/take-action/

The inspiration of standing alone in protest is bravely demonstrated by Julian’s wife, Stella as a brilliant example that anyone can take, any place, at any time for Julian:
