We meet the first and third Saturday of each month to support the rights of Palestinians to life, self-determination and the protection of their homeland. We call for the withdrawal of IDF troops from Gaza and a cessation of military aid for Israel. Because we pledge to be transparent and accountable, we do not allow the wearing of masks. We are not pro-Hamas and we guard against antisemitism. This event is hosted by the Fox Valley Advocates for Peace. kent1952@live.com

VIRTUAL
Wed Apr 1, 6 pm Virtual Wisconsin Town Hall on Data Centers and Utility Rates. Hosted by Citizen Action of Wisconsin. Come learn more about the growing impact of large A.I. data centers in our state. These facilities require enormous amounts of electricity and water, and utilities are already proposing new power plants and grid upgrades to meet that demand. Without clear protections in place, families and small businesses could end up paying the cost through higher utility bills. At this town hall, we will break down what data centers are, how they could affect electricity costs, water use, climate goals, and what policy solutions can protect Wisconsin communities. Legislators will join the conversation to hear directly from residents and answer questions. To RSVP and for Zoom login details, visit tinyurl.com/WIDataCenterTownHall.
