SUMMARY:President's Day Weekend March and Rally - In support of all Immigrants and Refugees.
DESCRIPTION:This President’s Day Weekend\, 2017\, join In Solidarity as we unite to march against President Donald J. Trump’s unconstitutional\, and wholly un-American ban on immigrants and refugees in the United States of America.  \nOn Saturday\, February 18th\, we will stand together and march and rally in order to oppose this selective ban on immigrants and refugees trying to obtain legal entry and safe asylum in the U.S. As many of us here know\, refugees\, on average\, face anywhere from two to three years of vigorous and arduous screenings from top U.S. intelligence agencies\, including the FBI\, CIA\, and the Department of Homeland Security. These people \,the vast majority of whom are women and children\, pose less of a threat to American’s safety than homegrown terrorists disillusioned with the government. President Trump’s executive order barring the entry of immigrants and refugees from certain countries\, under the pretense of “protecting national security”\, is both highly questionable and extremely counter-productive: these orders not only serve to further marginalize and disenfranchise innocent men\, women\, and children\, but they also serve the dual purpose of acting as a means of fueling propaganda for terrorist groups to further promote the idea that the U.S. is leading a war against Islam.  \nIt is time for us stand up\, raise our voices high and show our brothers and sisters\, not only our Muslim brothers and sisters\, but of all races or religions\, that we do not agree with the xenophobic and bigoted direction in which our country is headed. America was built upon the backs of immigrants and it THRIVES because of immigrants.  \nWe will march from Dallas City Hall plaza to the JFK Memorial Plaza (on Main and Commerce streets) at 10AM\, where we will then hold a benefit rally to stand in solidarity with our immigrant and refugee brothers and sisters. Food trucks will be on location\, and half of all proceeds will be donated to In Solidarity\, which will turn around and donate them to numerous organizations throughout the DFW\, such as CAIR-DFW\, the IRC-Dallas\, Refugee Services of TX and the Refugee Advocacy Group. \nIn Solidarity Main FB Page – https://www.facebook.com/InSolidarityMovement/ \nIn Solidarity private group page (this is where we post the majority of our information and details…it is private to prevent would-be troublemakers) – https://www.facebook.com/groups/1881264908775522/

SUMMARY:Fighting Capitalism: The Case for Socialist Organization
DESCRIPTION:Chemestry Building room 253 at the University of North Texas.  \nAs president Trump horrifies us every day with new headlines\, the Democrats fail to mount an effective resistance. The time is critical to move beyond politics-as-usual. \nWe must organize to resist Trump\, but also capitalism—the social system that gave rise to his villainy in the first place. Organizing that alternative is our common challenge. We are in a decades-long fight for the future of humanity and the planet\, and we must learn to act like it. \nNow is not the time to sit on the sidelines and hope history turns back from the abyss. Now is the time to join a socialist organization and fight for a just future. \nJoin us for a presentation and discussion

SUMMARY:From Selma to Stonewall - Dallas Theatre Premier
DESCRIPTION:The timing couldn’t be better for a film about the power of protest. \nFROM SELMA TO STONEWALL.  ARE WE THERE YET? Dallas Premiere at the historic Texas Theatre on SUNDAY\, FEB. 12 for ONE NIGHT ONLY! compares and contrasts the conflicts at the heart of the black and LGBT civil rights movements while following a black heterosexual preacher and a white lesbian activist as they look for common ground between their fights for equality. Rev. Gil Caldwell\, a long-time activist and friend of Martin Luther King\, Jr. and Marilyn Bennett\, a writer and activist\, will be available for Q&A after the screening of this powerful film. \n Thanks to Jimmy Creech for making this awesome video   https://vimeo.com/199241144 discussing how people from different walks of life realize an earth-shattering discovery with a journey that will change your life forever!   \nMovie Trailer:   http://www.fromselmatostonewall.com/about2/ \nYou’ll find the film brilliant in scope\, humorous\, and achingly sad as this powerful film begins in Selma with the Civil Rights Movement and follows the LGBT RIghts Movement galvanized by Stonewall riots.  Then\, it delves into some of today’s most explosive and discussed subjects: racial injustice\, police brutality\, transgender discrimination\, LGBTQ homelessness\, and the intersection of these issues. The Texas Theatre Premiere FROM SELMA TO STONEWALL\, explores Civil Rights and LGBTQ equality movements through the journey of two unlikely friends proving progress are the results of choices we make together.  Showing their engagement in response to injustice with reciprocity for equal treatment and compassion gives us immense hope for what we can accomplish in the face of today’s presidential leadership if we just stand up and fight.  Together.  \nMaybe scream a little\, too\, when appropriate. Show up or Share on your FB page now! \nSTAY LATE  Join us for a post-show discussion moderated by Revered Neil Cazares-Thomas from Cathedral of Hope along with cast member and activist\, C.d.

SUMMARY:Resisting Trump's Right Wing Agenda
DESCRIPTION:This event will take place at UNT\, Willis Library\, room 340. \nTrump’s election is a shocking and dangerous turn of events. His platform criminalizing immigrants\, his contempt for women and vow to restrict abortion\, and his nationalistic ‘law and order’ fervor has already emboldened the far right. Racist\, sexist\, and homophobic attacks have risen since his election. His agenda threatens to further impoverish the lives of millions of people throughout the world. \nBut people throughout the US and the world are taking a stand. Protests\, rallies\, walk-outs\, and marches have erupted throughout the US and throughout the world. Whether Trump gets away with his crimes will be determined by millions of ordinary people willing to take a stand against his regime. \nJoin the ISO for this forum to discuss and debate why Trump won and how we can beat back his right wing attacks while building a badly needed left wing alternative.
