SUMMARY:Hands Off My Birth Control Rally: Dallas
DESCRIPTION:On November 15th people from across the country will rally in five major cities to denounce President Trump’s executive order that allows employers to remove birth control coverage from their health insurance plans on the basis of religious or moral objection.  \nWomen\, families\, faith leaders\, and all those who rely on access to affordable birth control will rally at #HandsOffMyBC events outside of U.S. Health and Human Services offices in Atlanta\, GA\, Dallas\, TX\, Denver\, CO\, Kansas City\, MO\, and Washington\, D.C.  \nWe will unite in solidarity with those hurt by President Trump’s dangerous policies and demand that this administration stop their dangerous attacks on Americans’ reproductive health decisions. \nDisclaimer language: By choosing to attend this event\, you are acknowledging the risks involved\, and you are committing to participate non-violently and in accordance with the law\, and to work to de-escalate confrontations with opposing persons or others.

SUMMARY:Stop the War on Women - Building the Feminist Resistance
DESCRIPTION:To register for this event\, please sign up here:\nhttps://goo.gl/forms/urXrgiT02VwVvium1 \nThe election of Donald Trump sent shock waves across the country – especially for women. \nTrump campaigned on defunding Planned Parenthood at the federal level as long as they perform abortions\, and is now tryign to make good on those promises. In April\, Trump signed a law giving states the option to deny Title X funding to Planned Parenthood and other health care clinics that provide abortions. \nTrump has emboldened Republican politicians to wage state-level legistlative attakcs on women’s reproductive rights and has also given confidence to right-wing activists that target and harass women who use these clinics.  \nThe contradiction we face is that there is a mass desire to resist but without resistance organizations. A key task for feminists today is to learn from this history and build the type of organization that can pose a lasting challenge to the backlash and those who benefit from its acceleration.  \nCome and join the ISO in this discussion of the current war on women\, the lessons of the history of the struggle for women’s rights\, and the lessons we can use today. \nPlease contact ISO@twu.edu with any questions.

SUMMARY:Texas Marxism Conference: Socialism or Barbarism!
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 10 months of the Trump administration\, we’ve seen a barrage of right-wing atrocities and social suffering–from the far-right carnival of hate in Charlottesville\, to the unnatural disasters of Harvey and Irma\, to Trump’s nuclear saber-rattling with North Korea\, to the Trump administration ending DACA protections. \nAt the root of the crimes and outrages of this era are the priorities of a capitalist system controlled by a small elite of the wealthiest and most powerful people. \nThere are struggles for change in many different corners of society\, each with their own histories and dynamics. But waging them most effectively requires an understanding of how they are connected and dependent on each other–and how\, together\, they can contribute to a broader struggle to change the rules of the game for good. \nWe need to build a left-wing resistance that doesn’t let the right go unopposed. We need to protest the reactionaries wherever they appear\, and not go along with the liberal advice to ignore them and they will go away–because they won’t. We need to claim the right of free speech for ourselves to make our opposition heard. \nBut we need something else as well: a left that puts forward a political alternative to the right’s scapegoating and hate. This is the case for joining the struggle for socialism today. The disasters of capitalism are as numerous and obvious as they have ever been–and so is the need to do something now to achieve a socialist future. \nSat\, November 11\, 2017 11AM-9PM.\nUniversity of Texas at Austin \nAll sessions will be convened in Parlin Hall on the UT Campus. Room locations TBA. \nFree childcare and meals will be provided. Please complete the registration form here if you are someone with childcare needs and/or have dietary restrictions that conference organizers should be made aware of (https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSeo1i2SlFZpYKMeXEMbYoxKfdCDGJ686SETR-AVgdNhksJZaA/viewform) \nSessions and schedule coming soon!

SUMMARY:America Ferrera's Out of Reach at Santikos Bijou
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a free screening of America Ferrera’s Out of Reach along with a Q&A and discussion with local leaders to learn all the ways we can fight back against policies like SB4. \nEven before the Trump Administration took office\, some 11 million undocumented immigrants were already subject to a brutal detention and deportation machine. A drastic shift in rhetoric around immigrants\, a sharp rise in raids\, the travel ban\, and the rescinding of DACA are all indicative of an antagonistic Administration whose hardened stance on immigrants and refugees is intended to push some of the country’s most vulnerable into the shadows. \nNowhere is this more so than in Texas\, a state that remains the epicenter of immigration activism. Undocumented Texans are fighting not only an increasingly anti-immigrant federal government\, but also an emboldened state government. Activists are currently mobilizing against Senate Bill 4\, a controversial measure designed to crack down on “sanctuary cities.” If implemented\, the bill\, commonly referred to as the “show me your papers” law\, would give local law enforcement the authority to ask about a person’s immigration status during routine interactions such as traffic stops and force local law enforcement to comply with federal immigration officials. Although a federal court issued an order temporarily blocking the majority of SB4 from going into effect on September 1st\, a federal appeals court recently limited the federal court’s decision. The next court hearing on SB4 will be scheduled in early November. \nA new film called Out of Reach follows actress America Ferrera as she travels to Texas in the final months of the Obama Administration to find out how these immigration policies are affecting the 1.65 million undocumented people currently living in the state. \nA ticket does not guarantee a seat\, but seating will be given on a first come first serve basis with priority to those who RSVP here: https://outofreachdallas.eventbrite.com \nThis showing is presented by by San Antonio organizations and individuals who make up the Pro-Immigrant Coalition/Coalicion Pro-Inmigrante and Working Films. The Pro-Immigrant Coalition is composed of CCVI\, MCDP\, Club Coahuilense\, UNITE HERE\, Southwest Workers Union\, Esperanza Peace and Justice Center\, PEACE Initiative\, San Antonio\, Progressive Alliance\, Fuerza Unida\, San Antonio Alliance\, Texas Organizing Project\, Domesticas Unidas\, Southwest Voter Reg & Education Project\, Indivisible SATX\, Academia America\, National Organization for Women San Antonio\, RAICES\, and Maryknoll-San Antonio.

SUMMARY:Denton's Noche Pa Nosotros - Mixer and Dance Party
DESCRIPTION:A night for me\, a night for you\, a night for us.\nNoche pa mi\, noche pa ti\, noche pa nosotros. \nCome bless us with your presense\, reclaim space with us. \nMUEVE and Denton’s International Socialist Organization are hosting a Mixer for organizations and collectives that are involved in organizing and activist work\, including artivism\, immigrant’s rights\, and freeing Palestine\, and for folx who have been interested in getting involved in struggles but want to see which organizations or group of folx works best for them. MUEVE and ISO will be hosting a family style potluck\, please feel free to bring your secret recipe of mac n cheese or your mom’s recipe of enchiladas.  \nThe second portion of the event will be a dance party\, get ready for some reggaeton. Our djs for the night:\n_pichi\nNancy \nThis event is towards building a community of resistance\, against the grip of capitalism\, against just surviving\, but of fighting to thrive. A part of that entails we celebrate our queer/trans kin\, our immigrant siblings\, and reminding people of color that they not only matter\, but also that they deserve to live happy and healthy lives. This event will be *safer* through the efforts of everyone present. \nWe will be asking for $5 donations at the door\, we encourage everyone to donate since our organizations are grassroots and we don’t money from big corporations\, but of course we will not turn anyone away due to lack of funds. \nIf you are interested in tabling PLEASE message MUEVE or ISO\, we would love to have you with us! We are prioritizing groups of people who are doing work in the community.  \n——————————– \nThe ground rules were taken from PARADISE ISLAND’s Cool Schmool’s Feminist Art show:\n• Bring cash + credit for vendors\n• Open mic is for music\, poems\, performance\, and to act as a soap box to say what’s on your mind as an act of catharsis in these trying times. Women/poc/queer people are encouraged to go up\, as we are all artists here! Please give CW/TWs when needed.\n• This is a safer space: that means absolutely NO racism\, sexism\, homophobia\, transphobia\, ableism\, rapists\, abusers\, or other forms of oppression allowed! Do NOT bring guns or drugs to the event!\n• Do NOT touch people without their consent.\n• This is an ALL AGES event and we want to keep it that way. There is a lack of venues already that allow 21 and under peeps\, and so this keeps in with the DIY punk ethos of allowing those who are already turned away from society due to age.\n• This is BYOB but NO UNDERAGE DRINKING! We’ve put in a lot of time and effort to create this\, please be mindful so this event won’t get shut down or the organizer in trouble! We wanna keep doing events like these.  ❤\n• Don’t get super wasted and be responsible.\n• Respect the house! You are in someone’s home\, treat it like you would if you were at a loved one’s place. Throw trash away\, don’t leave cigarette butts on the ground\, etc. use common sense. \nIf folx are seen breaking these rules\, you will risk being kicked out. We’re gonna have a good time y’all.

SUMMARY:March To End Animal Exploitation
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we take to the streets for animals!  \nTogether let’s make this the biggest event for animals Dallas has EVER seen! Our message is simple: Their lives and their bodies are their own\, not ours to use or for corporations to profit from!  \nVeganism as an ethical standpoint is great\, but the animals need more from us. Violence and exploitation happens outside of our personal lives\, so our fight against it can’t end there either. We want to help in creating a more active vegan community focused on animals (people and the environment too!)\, to challenge their objectification in society\, but point the finger at the greedy speciesist industries directly responsible for their ruthless exploitation and commodification.  \nSure\, one march won’t accomplish these things overnight\, but its a start\, and our hope is that it will change minds\, bring us together\, and create a community with purpose. Help us take a step towards a world that no longer accepts any form of dominance over one another.  Let’s make some noise for animal liberation! \nMore info to come.

SUMMARY:Action to Extend D-SNAP Application Process
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we demand that Harris County Judge Ed Emmett work with our congressional delegation to extend the D-SNAP application period and make it available at more locations.  \nPeople who need D-SNAP extend well beyond those who had their homes destroyed. In his faulty calculations\, Emmett seems to have forgotten that people were unable to work for days or weeks either because their homes\, job sites or cars flooded. Missing days of work can have a lasting impact on people who were already barely making it paycheck to paycheck. D-SNAP helps those people feed their families. \nOnly Emmett can extend the application period and select the sites where people can apply. He has designated today as the last day people can apply in a location that is remote to most people who live in Houston. People have been forced to wait in lines that stretch for miles. One man died of a heart attack during the grueling wait. We’re going to tell him that this is wrong.
