Reverend McCormick says: \nThis year\, because flights to Tel Aviv were canceled\, I flew into Jordan and crossed the border into the West Bank by land\, which was an experience in and of itself. Most of my time in the West Bank was spent volunteering at the 100-acre Tent of Nations farm and orchard\, owned precariously by the Nassar family. Because of the war with Iran\, most volunteers who had also planned to be there had canceled\, so we were a small international crew. For the first week\, we were only five women in our 60s and 70s! While the US and Israel-backed war with Iran dominated headlines and public debate\, Zionist extremist violence dramatically increased\, with a new Settler outpost being built right on the property line of the farm\, and two Settler watchtowers with bright lights\, cameras\, and listening devices were directed at the farm 24/7. As you might imagine\, while the Nassar family’s commitment is to non-violent steadfast witness\, the farm and family are surrounded by the probability of violence from several directions. \nPlease join me to learn more on May 19\, from 6-7:30 in MacBride Hall at Grace St. Paul’s Episcopal Church. I will also bring beautiful olive wood ornaments\, candle holders\, and earrings that you can purchase for a small price. All proceeds support those I met who are struggling fiercely to survive under increasing state-sponsored and religious extremist violence. \nPlease feel free to share this invitation with others who might be interested and RSVP to revdellemc@gmail.com.

Transforming Data into Experiences” \nDESCRIPTION: Bettina Forget’s creative practice transgresses the boundaries of art and science. Series such as Women With Impact\, Exoplanet Zoo\, and Artifacts from the Future draw inspiration from scientific literature and data\, conversations with researchers\, and her passion for amateur astronomy. Her work with the SETI Institute and her academic research engage with the question\, “Are we alone in the universe?” by challenging anthropocentric perspectives through imagination\, scientific inquiry\, and creative expression. This convergence of disciplines transforms data into experiences and invites deeper reflection on humanity’s place in the cosmos. \nPROFILE: Bettina Forget is the Director of the SETI Institute’s Artist-in-Residence (AIR) program. Her creative practice and academic research examine the re-contextualization of art and science\, and how transdisciplinary education may disrupt gender stereotypes. Bettina works with traditional as well as new media arts\, focusing on astrobiology\, exoplanet research\, sci-fi\, and feminism. Her work has been exhibited internationally including ISEA (Barcelona)\, CYFEST-13 (Saint Petersburg)\, and the Planetarium Rio Tinto Alcan (Montréal)\, and will be presented in 2026 at the Exploratorium (San Francisco) and the Wende Museum (Los Angeles). \nRegister in advance for this meeting: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/3MW8AMnSSjWWK5lzg27tXQ\nNo password URL:https://www.tucsonpeacecalendar.org/event/the-hard-sci-sf-zoom-group-proudly-presents-bettina-forget/ LOCATION:via Zoom CATEGORIES:Speakers and Presentations END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Phoenix:20260330T120000 DTEND;TZID=America/Phoenix:20260330T130000 DTSTAMP:20260215T182908Z CREATED:20260215T182908Z LAST-MODIFIED:20260215T182908Z UID:20277-1774872000-1774875600@www.tucsonpeacecalendar.org SUMMARY:Democrats of Greater Tucson Weekly Forum DESCRIPTION:Democrats of Greater Tucson Weekly Forum \nMondays\, 12:00-1:00PM\, via Zoom.

Irene Vista in Tucson \nOr by zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/4074490617 \n“Whose neck shall I stand on to make me feel superior? And what will I gain out of it? I don’t want anything lower than I am. I am low enough already. I want to rise and to push everything up with me as I go…”\nEsperanza Quintero from the film Salt of the Earth \nOn March 8\, 1857\, women and girls\, many of them immigrants\, in the textile and garment industry in New York City went on strike\, marching to protest low wages\, 12-hour days\, and inhumane and unsafe working conditions. Although the police broke up the demonstration\, the event is recognized as a pivotal\, early strike by women; helping to inspire decades later\, the celebration of International Women’s Day\, originally known as International Working Women’s Day. International Women’s Day—celebrated worldwide—began as a holiday to recognize the contributions of working women in the fight for organized labor as well as the fight against child labor\, suffrage\, and the fight for equal pay. March 1974 marked the formation and founding of the Coalition of Labor Union Women(CLUW). Formed in Chicago by 3000+ members from 58 unions to address issues like pay equity\, sexual harassment\, childcare and family leave\, as well as sexism and discrimination within the unions and labor movement itself\, CLUW\, and women leaders in the labor movement\, continue to play a pivotal role in the struggle for gender equality. Join us for a panel discussion with Pima Area Labor Federation Chair Cecelia Valdez\, Jobs with Justice Organizer Martha Reyes\, and CLUW Vice President Vonda Wilkins on the pivotal and critical role women labor leaders and rank and file continue to play in the struggle for workers’ rights\, women’s equality\, and building the labor movement.\n——————————————————————————————\nFor more information about Salt of the Earth Labor College please email to SELC@webtv.net or call (520)235-0694 \nWe will be depending on your generosity to keep us going.
