Senate to Vote tomorrow on No War with Iran Massachusetts Peace Action Brian Garvey

Massachusetts Peace Action Brian Garvey<info@masspeaceaction.org>
To  Al Johnson  
Dear Al,
In response to threats of war from Donald Trump and his administration, Democratic senators have demanded a vote on a key amendment thatImage result for ndaaImage result for no war with iran amendment would bar funds from being used in a war with Iran without congressional approval. The ammendment to the NDAA, which provides military funding for the upcoming year, would introduce language blocking President Trump from launching a war on his own initiative.
A bipartisan group of congresspeople, including populist progressives like Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ro Kahnna and conservatives like Matt Gaetz, have introduced a similar ammendment in the House of Representatives. If it clears the Rules Committee, chaired by our own Jim McGovern, the House will vote on a war with Iran after the July 4th recess.
Now is the time to put pressure on our Senators and Congresspeople. Let them know that preventing a war with Iran is a priority for you. A war with Iran could easily spiral out of control, trapping the United States in another quagmire for years to come.

Here's what you need to do:
1) Call the Congressional Switchboard at 202-224-3121
2) Ask for your representative or senator and when connected say:
3) My name is ___________ and I am a constituent living at (your address). I’m calling to urge Representative/Senator ___________ to take a stand against the Trump administration's reckless march toward war with Iran. Please vote for the ammendment to the NDAA restricting Donald Trump from starting a war with Iran without congressional approval.
4) Report back to us by calling (617) 354-2169 or write to us at info@masspeaceaction.org. We need to coordinate our efforts and know what members or their staff had to say.

Yours for peace,
Brian Garvey

Three Boston College graduate workers will join colleagues from Harvard , BU, and Northeastern to testify about the challenges graduate workers face and the importance of a fair union contract.
Graduate workers from Boston University, Boston College, Northeastern, and Harvard will be testifying about experiences working at our universities, the need to improve our working conditions and why universities need to respect our rights to a democratically elected union. Come be a part of this event and support grad workers who are speaking out about the need for a union - It’s critical for us to pack the room with graduate workers and supporters to show how strong our movement is!

Stand with Kshama Sawant against Corporate PACs Socialist Alternative

Socialist Alternative<newsletter@socialistalternative.org>
To  alfredjohnson34@comcast.net  

Please see below for a message from Kshama Sawant's campaign. Can you make a contribution to the campaign to stand against the corporate PACs which have already raised $1 million for ‘anybody but Kshama Sawant’? Her campaign needs to raise another $10,000 before our next important fundraising deadline this Sunday at midnight.

*|FNAME|*,
You may have heard us talking about the corporate PACs that have already built up a war chest of over $1 million for ‘anybody but Kshama.’ That’s because it will have a big impact on this race.

During the 2017 Seattle mayoral election, the Chamber of Commerce’s corporate PAC (CASE), spent over half a million dollars — $350,000 of that from Amazon alone — to buy their mayoral pick, Jenny Durkan. When we won a historic tax on Amazon and Seattle’s biggest businesses last year to fund millions for affordable housing, corporate interests like Amazon, Starbucks and for-profit developer Vulcan quickly amassed $325,000 to bully the majority of Seattle’s City Council into repealing the tax.

The corporate PAC money will only grow. PACs will send out multiple rounds of attack mail and potentially even tv ads spreading propaganda and lies about Kshama’s record of making things happen or the alleged doomsday effects of winning rent control as our movement for rent control gains momentum. Big developers will try to clamp down to prevent a victory which could reverberate nationwide, like our movement for 15 Now.
 
The way we will win this campaign and keep a seat for working people in Seattle’s City Hall will be by building the biggest grassroots campaign Seattle has ever seen. It will be by knocking on the doors of all the nearly 100,000 voters in District 3, over and over, to defend Kshama Sawant against the corporate PAC attacks. And while our huge volunteer team drives this campaign, it costs money to print literature, blanket the district with red posters and fund an office with field organizers to coordinate our volunteer operation.

We only have 4 days to raise $10,000 before our next important fundraising deadline this Sunday at midnight. We want to enter our July ‘Get out the Vote’ push on strong footing and be on track to cancel out Amazon’s $200,000 corporate PAC contribution.

We’re proud to already lead the race in fundraising, with more contributors from District 3, the city of Seattle, and the state of Washington than any other campaign. And we're proud that our campaign is not for sale, funded entirely by grassroots donations from working people like yourself. The maximum contribution for an election cycle is $500 per individual.

We are offering a new vision Bernie Sanders 2020

Bernie Sanders 2020<info@berniesanders.com>
To  alfred johnson  

Alfred -
Bernie made the difference clear tonight.
Are we going to settle for the status quo and more of the same, or will we fight for a fundamental transformation of our political and economic systems?
Will we settle and hope to win on just one issue? Or do we know that by building a political revolution, transformative change is possible?
Bernie made the argument that the future of our country and planet rests on aggressively challenging powerful special interests. It’s what he’s done for his whole career — and it’s what he’ll do as president.
We can do more than the media and the political establishment can even imagineis possible. But this future is only possible if we build it together.
Will you contribute to Bernie 2020 before Sunday’s FEC fundraising deadline? This is an important moment for our campaign.
If you've saved payment info with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately:
EXPRESS DONATE: $100
EXPRESS DONATE: $200
EXPRESS DONATE: $350
EXPRESS DONATE: $500
EXPRESS DONATE: $1000
OR DONATE ANOTHER AMOUNT
Everyone is going to be watching our momentum coming out of tonight’s debate — especially with Sunday’s FEC fundraising deadline. They’re going to look closely at the numbers we report, and it’s important we send an unmistakable message. Add your contribution now.
Thank you for standing with Bernie.
In solidarity,
Faiz Shakir
Campaign Manager

We hope you'll stay, because emails are such an important part of how we organize and how we raise money. In fact, there is no single greater source for our campaign's fundraising than emails like this one. And that's important, because no one person, not even Bernie Sanders, can take on Trump and the billionaire class alone.
Before you go about the rest of your day, help power our fight against the billionaire class by making a contribution today.
