Zurawski v Texas Film Screening
Join us this Sunday, November 9 at 3:00 PM PT to take action for reproductive freedom!
In partnership with TEACH and Planned Parenthood Mar Monte, we will be hosting an in-person screening of the documentary film Zurawski v. Texas at a theater in downtown Oakland. This powerful film portrays the stories of three Texas women who were denied abortion healthcare in spite of facing life-threatening complications from their pregnancies. This film will broaden your understanding of reproductive justice and the harm caused by abortion bans.
In a time when reproductive freedom is under attack, we need to mobilize our community, hold lawmakers accountable, and make sure that reproductive freedom remains a priority. After the movie, there will be opportunities to talk to reproductive rights activists.
This is a free event. In order to attend you must RSVP on the tickets page. Once you RSVP, we will email you the address. This invitation is non-transferable. For safety, please do not share the location information with others. If you would like to invite friends, they must RSVP themselves. Doors will open at 2:40 pm.
See you at the movies!

Green Sunday: Who wins in a war with Iran?
Join Zoom Meeting: https://us02web.
By the time you read this, we may already be at war with Iran. That is how imminent most analysts think it is. If so, my talk will be quite different from what I intend at this writing, because I am among a small minority who believe it will not happen, and not out of wishful thinking, but rather cold analysis.
In either case, my analysis is framed around Iran’s place in the Axis of Resistance, its military and strategic capability, its culture, US intelligence assessment of the advantages and disadvantages of war, the influence of Israel on US and NATO policy, and other considerations.
Paul Larudee is a former Ford Foundation project supervisor and Fulbright-Hays lecturer in Lebanon, and US government advisor to Saudi Arabia. He has been on the faculty of San Francisco State University, the University of San Francisco, St. Mary’s College in Moraga and Haigazian College in Beirut. He was with the International Solidarity Movement in Palestine and co-founded the movement to break the Israeli naval siege of Gaza. He was aboard the boats that successfully entered Gaza in 2008 and the 2010 Flotilla attacked by Israel. He was shot by an Israeli soldier in 2002. He co-founded the Global March to Jerusalem, the Free Palestine Movement and the Syria Solidarity Movement. He was one of six US observers of the Syrian presidential elections in June, 2014. He is CFO of the Association for Investment in Popular Action Committees, a 501(c)(3) corporation that sponsors human rights and humanitarian aid projects in West Asia, Latin America and other regions. He publishes on Substack and Dissident Voice, and occasionally other publications.
