Masked Rally for Climate Justice
@ Japantown Peace Plaza
May 19 @ 1:00 pm – 3:00 pm
In California, the face of climate change is fire. So many of us were impacted by the Northern and Southern California wildfires. Now, we’re holding a rally to make the N95 Particulate Respirator Mask into a powerful symbol of climate change. The mask is uncomfortable, it changes the wearer’s face, and more than anything it means that the air surrounding the wearer is no longer safe to breathe. The megafires California is facing are the result of climate change. Shorter, wetter winters and hotter, drier summers turn formerly healthy forests … Continued

Tribute to Robert Parry
@ Fellowship Hall
May 19 @ 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
 Robert Parry was instrumental in exposing the truth about the Nicaraguan Contras, the Cocaine shipments into the US and Ronald Reagan’s “October Surprise”. For breaking these stories, instead of winning a Pulitzer Prize, he was slowly but surely pushed OUT of mainstream media. Parry then founded Consortiumnews which continues today as one of the best sources of analysis about international events. Guest speakers at the event will include: * Sam Parry, son of Robert * Joe Lauria, new editor of Consortiumnews * Natylie Baldwin, contributor to Consortiumnews * Dennis Bernstein, … Continued

@ Berkeley City College, Rm 55
May 19 @ 2:30 pm – 4:30 pm
 Panel Description: “Recent school shootings and the ever-recurring instances of police brutality pose acutely the question of gun control today.

Strike Debt Bay Area: Debt Resistance is NOT Futile!
@ Omni Commons
May 19 @ 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm
Please come to our Inequality Seminar on Sunday, 4/29 at 11:00 AM at the OMNI! Strike Debt is building a debt resistance movement. We believe that most individual debt is illegitimate and unjust. Most of us fall into debt because we are increasingly deprived of the means to acquire the basic necessities of life: health care, education, and housing. Because we are forced to go into debt simply in order to live, we think it is right and moral to resist it. Come get connected with SDBA’s projects! Presenting debt … Continued

Righteous Resistance Symposium
@ First Congregational Church of Oakland
May 19 @ 5:00 pm – 7:30 pm
We face a current political and social climate that continues to belie black humanity – where, without impunity, a young black man can be followed into his grandmother’s backyard and shot in the back six times out of the 20 shots fired at him. Will we stand on the sideline or will we join the important struggle that Black Americans & many others daily endure to live free from racism, violence & terror? We believe we are called to lean into a ministry and theology of resistance, reclaiming the hope … Continued

The Plot to Kill Martin Luther King Jr.
@ Fellowship Hall
May 19 @ 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
 There’s more to history than you might think! In two films, Prime Suspects: Who Killed Martin Luther King Jr.? (Court TV, 2000, 37 min.) and Truth At Last: The Assassination of Martin Luther King (James Corbett, 2018, 51 min.), the official story of the murder is convincingly disproved – James Earl Ray did not kill King – through the decades-long work of William F. Pepper, attorney, investigator, and author, an influential friend of Martin King in the last year of his life, and attorney for the King family. Pepper, … Continued
