Help build the March 21 national day of action demanding that banks stop funding climate disaster. Third Act and others have called this event to highlight the Banking on Our Future campaign: a national effort to pressure the Big 4 Banks—Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, and Wells Fargo—to stop financing the climate crisis.
Participants pledge that they will close their accounts and credit cards with these banks if they don’t shift to clean, renewable investments.
Wells Fargo, headquartered here, is one of the biggest fossil fuel investors worldwide. Join weekly actions at Bay Area Wells Fargo bank branches to educate customers about this campaign and build momentum for the March 21 day of action.

ICYMI: The judge in Wednesday's hearing delayed the DA's dismissal of charges. In other words, she's giving Attorney General Rob Bonta one week to take up the case since DA Jenkins doesn't want to.

This week Zionist settler mobs protected by Israeli Occupation Forces stormed the occupied village of Huwara, surrounded it and attempted to burn it to the ground. Israeli human rights group @btselem and many others have called the settler attacks a “pogrom” to describe the attacks on the village. Pogrom is a Russian word meaning “to wreak havoc” and typically describes the violence by Russians against Jewish people, particularly officially-mandated slaughter.
Many are blaming the new Israeli government as the cause of the unimaginable violence Palestinians, but the origin of these atrocities is not the Israeli government but Zionism. This isn’t a “loss of control” this is exactly what Israeli control looks like. The settlers carry out the attack, the military secures it, the politicians back it. It’s a synergy.

What are the concerns?
Biometrics and AI are widely used and there are many questions about their ethically and socially appropriate uses.
Questions addressed include:
- How do they work?
- How are they being used?
- What are the dangers of their use?
- What are appropriate, even good uses?
- What is the Context, and what are the challenges?

For our March meeting we’ll be reading the first five chapters.
For the April meeting we are reading chapters 6 through 9.
For our May meeting will are reading the remainder of the book.
Before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods—that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors—which lives on in full force to this day.
So says anthropologist David Graeber in a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom. He shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the center of political debates from Renaissance Italy to Imperial China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like “guilt,” “sin,” and “redemption”) derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong.
We are still fighting these battles today.

What: Stop Dirty Banks Day of Action

On March 31, 2023, Judge Lucretia Clemons of the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas denied political prisoner Mumia Abu-Jamal’s legal appeal. Judge Clemons’ decision ludicrously claims that newly discovered evidence proving that key witnesses at Mumia’s trial were paid by (or received favours from) the District Attorney in exchange for their false testimony was “not material” to showing that the trial was unfair!
Mumia Abu-Jamal is innocent and should never have spent a day in jail. This decision shows that Mumia will never receive justice in the capitalist courts. Only mass demonstrations can win his release. Join us at a rally calling to Free Mumia Abu-Jamal!
Mumia is Innocent! Free Mumia Now!
