SUMMARY:Mass call for the October 18 rallies
DESCRIPTION:A mobilize.us event – https://www.mobilize.us/HealthcareNotAuthoritarianism/event/851068/ \nDonald Trump and Congressional Republicans have spent the past nine months selling out working families in order to give tax breaks to their billionaire friends. Now they’re taking us into a government shutdown because they refuse to negotiate with Democrats and lower healthcare costs for our families. \nAs the funding deadline looms\, Trump has refused to support a budget proposal that would prevent millions of Americans from losing their health care. He’s insisted on illegally cancelling funds our communities rely on. And he abruptly called off a planned meeting with Democratic leadership\, and then threatened to fire even more federal workers when the government shuts down. We deserve a budget that meets our health care needs and reins in Trump’s lawlessness. \nJoin our mass call this Wednesday (10/1) at 8:30 PM EST/5:30 PM PST for an update on the federal funding fight\, and to discuss how we can organize collectively to support and protect our communities in this federal budget showdown. \nHosted by: Fair Share America\, Indivisible\, MoveOn\, Public Citizen\, Working Families Power\, People’s Action\, Women’s March and many more.

SUMMARY:Houston - Movie Night! Professor Mamlock - GDR antifascist film
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to Movie Night this Sunday\, Sept. 21 at 5 pm. This film is titled Professor Mamlock\, a GDR antifascist film. \nProfessor Hans Mamlock is the distinguished chief of surgery in a university hospital. The year is 1933\, and although the Professor is Jewish\, he remains unconcerned with politics and the growing Nazi threat. Mamlock identifies strongly as a German\, and he believes his culture to be simply incapable of the common barbarism associated with the Nazi party. Accordingly\, he shows little understanding for people with strong or unpopular political views\, such as Walter\, a patient\, and Rolf\, his own son. Indeed\, when Rolf joins the communists in resisting the Nazis\, Mamlock throws him out of his house. As the persecution of Jews intensifies during the 1930s\, Mamlock’s own daughter is targeted for anti-Semitic attacks at her school. Professor Mamlock\, however\, refuses to believe her\, and at work he disregards the anti-Semitism of his colleague\, Dr. Hellpach. By 1938\, however\, anti-Jewish racial laws demand Mamlock’s removal from office. He is physically marched from the hospital by Nazi guards\, leaving him shocked to realize that his German citizenship has been revoked. Professor Mamlock’s devastation drives him to desperate measures. \nIn addition to watching a great antifascist film\, you will also get to browse a large selection of struggle books! Popcorn will be provided. Bring your own beverages. \nCheck your email for further details!

SUMMARY:Texas Socialist Discussion Group
DESCRIPTION:The Texas Socialist Discussion group will be discussing the topic: Friedrick Engles’ Origin of the Family\, Private Property\, and the State \nPre-reading the book is encouraged! You can download or read the online book at https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/download/pdf/origin_family.pdf \nThere is a “cliff notes” version of the book at https://lilleskole.us/school/classics/orign.htm \nThis book was written in 1884. It focuses on early human history\, following the disintegration of the primitive community and the emergence of a class society based on private property. Engels investigates the origin and essence of the state and concludes it is bound to wither away leaving a classless society.\n\nEngels: “Along with [the classes] the state will inevitably fall. Society\, which will reorganize production based on a free and equal association of the producers\, will put the whole machinery of state where it will then belong; the museum of antiquity\, by the side of the spinning-wheel and the bronze axe.”\n\nInvite your friends\, family\, allies\, and fellow comrades to join the discussion and learn more about the Marxist theory of the family\, private property and the state by a fundamental contributor\, Friedrick Engels.

SUMMARY:[Dallas / everywhere] Make August Hotter! National Day of Action
DESCRIPTION:The Good Fight continues against fascism in Texas. Texas Democratic State Representatives have left the state to safeguard congressional representation for communities of color and oppose a Trumpist power grab through a redistricting hoodwink. \nJoin in a national day of action next Saturday August 16 outside of the TX State Capital at 11 am- 11th & Congress. The call comes from Texas Alliance for Retired Americans which is part of the AFL-CIO. The following is an excerpt from their email on the subject: \nThe Texas AFL-CIO has announced that our redistricting fight has now gone national. August 16 is the new National Day of Action with participation across the nation. Texas’ biggest effort will be at the State Capitol at 11AM. Unions and our allies are making August hotter for autocrats and would-be dictators. \nWe Are Defending Many Fronts\nThere are many battlefronts against autocracy. The redistricting fight is near the top because fundamental democracy is involved\, but a lot of other issues are critical. \nBoth Dallas and Fort Worth officials have announced that they are caving in to the autocrats and giving up all efforts to oppose such evils as racism\, homophobia\, male chauvinism\, and ageism. Unemployment and prices are rising. Inequality continues as the main description for the U.S. and world economy. Unprecedented government union busting is rampant. This week\, it became even more difficult to assess our conditions when Donald Trump fired the chief statistician for the Bureau of Labor Statistics – from which the world used to draw much of its information. \nLabor Has the Good News\nThe nationwide coalition against autocracy\, with organized labor leading\, is taking form.

SUMMARY:Houston Area TARA - Texas Alliance for Retired Americans - anniversary party and monthly meeting
DESCRIPTION:The Houston Area TARA – Texas Alliance for Retired Americans is celebrating the 80th Anniversary of Social Security and 60th Anniversary of Medicare/Medicaid. \n\nThe Houston Area TARA is celebrating 90 years of the enactment of Social Security and 60 years since the establishment of Medicare and Medicaid. \n\n\nSocial Security covers the retirement of 74 million people in this country \nMedicare provides health insurance for 63.7 million individuals. 2 of 5 people in the U.S. are covered by Medicare or Medicaid. \n3 out of 5 nursing home residents rely on Medicaid to pay for their long term care\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThese benefits are the result of long struggles by the working class for a secure retirement\, medical care\, and other needs. Many struggles were and are required to continue and expand these necessary benefits paid by workers.\n \nThe struggle now is to safeguard these benefits from those that want to transfer wealth from the working class to the wealthy. We must all struggle to save these programs from cuts and to expand them until we ensure good pensions and universal quality health care for all.\n\n\nA movie will be shown in celebration of these anniversaries titled: Power to Heal. \n\nIf you are not a member\, you are welcome to join. Here is the link to Texas Alliance for Retired Americans.\n \nPlease invite and bring a friend\, union member or retiree to the celebration.\n\nEveryone expects to retire\, and we need better retirement conditions. Here is a link to our issues.
