March 17th, 7:30-9:30 am PacificCare First, Jails Last: Why can't California keep people with mental illness out of jail and how do we fix this?
Event Description: People do not "get well in a cell." Jail is the wrong place for people struggling with mental illness. In Los Angeles, 40% of the men and 66% of the women incarcerated in our jail system live with a severe mental illness. New laws and programs bring hope for more understanding, resources, and justice in California, but our statewide efforts have lacked scale and commitment. We have a long way to go.
Join the conversation with our speakers:
Mark Gale is the Criminal Justice Chair of NAMI (National alliance on Mental Illness) Greater Los Angeles County and serves on advisory committees for the LA County District Attorney's Office and the Office of Diversion and Reentry. He attends various county meetings on behalf of NAMI GLAC and engages the system at both the county and state levels. Mark has been honored with several awards for his hard and creative work in the criminal justice field as it relates to mental illness. He is the father of a son with a serious mental illness.
Dick Bunce's career combined pastoral ministry with various forms of social work. He is a former chair of ICUJP. Regarding the mental health field, he has been executive director of the Pomona Valley Chapter of NAMI and subsequently interim ED of NAMI LA County Council (now called NAMI Greater Los Angeles County.) Dick is now retired, though busy with community work.
His son was afflicted with paranoid schizophrenia during his college years. For the next twenty years he rotated through hospitals, jails, homelessness, and times of relative stability.Learn More/Here's how YOU can help:

March 10th, 7:30-9:30 am Pacific03.10.23 Friday Forum - Palestine in America: Activism, Advocacy, and Adversity
Event Description: Arguably the most crucial battleground for the Palestinian struggle outside of Palestine, the United States has seen an intensification in the discourse surrounding Palestinian rights and liberation in the past decade. From major electoral victories to strategic boycott wins and large-scale mobilizations to Netflix shows centering on the Palestinian narrative, the discourse and trajectory of Palestine activism have shifted dramatically. This has created significant opportunities for the Palestine movement in the US on campuses, in Congress, and beyond.
American Muslims for Palestine has been at the center of the action since 2015 and has organized some of the largest and most effective Palestine advocacy campaigns in the US.Join the conversation with our speaker:
Raised in Southern California, Taher Herzallah came of age in a vibrant Muslim and Palestinian activism scene and was the president of MSA West and his local Students for Justice in Palestine chapter at UC Riverside where he completed his undergraduate degree in Political Science and International Affairs. As the Director of Outreach & Community Organizing for American Muslims for Palestine, Taher facilitates national coalition-building and expands the organization’s grassroots presence across the US.
Mr. Herzallah is one of the 'Irvine 11,' a group of students who were arrested and prosecuted for expressing their constitutionally protected rights of free speech and political dissent when they walked out of a speech given by Israeli Ambassador Michael Oren at UC Irvine in 2010. Mr. Herzallah was also one of six people arrested for protesting the appointment of David Friedman as US ambassador to Israel at a Senate Foreign Relations Committee hearing in February 2017.
Mr. Herzallah is currently doing his PhD in American Studies and his research interests focus on Muslim and Palestinian political and social activism in the context of the ongoing settler-colonization of Palestine and ongoing military-style police warfare against people of color in the US. Mr. Herzallah’s research lies at the intersections of Middle East and Islamic Studies, Indigenous Studies, Critical Ethnic Studies, Black Studies, and Religious Studies while bringing an important Critical Muslim Studies dimension to the American Studies Department.

March 3rd, 7:30-9:30 am Pacific03.03.23 Friday Forum - Carey Shenkman: The Espionage Act and Freedom of the Press
Event Description: A Century of Repression offers an unprecedented and panoramic history of the use of the Espionage Act of 1917 as the most important yet least understood law threatening freedom of the press in modern American history. It details government use of the Act to control information about U.S. military and foreign policy during the two World Wars, the Cold War, and the War on Terror.
The Act has provided cover for the settling of political scores, illegal break-ins, and prosecutorial misconduct. The cases of Eugene Debs, John S. Service, Daniel Ellsberg, Chelsea Manning, Edward Snowden, and Julian Assange, among others, reveal the threat posed to whistleblowers, government critics, and journalists alike.
Join us for a discussion on this obscure but far-reaching example of government overreach.Join the conversation with our speaker:
Carey Shenkman is a lawyer, author, and litigator focusing on freedom of speech. He testified in the Assange extradition proceedings, and is co-author of the book A Century of Repression: the Espionage Act and Freedom of the Press.Learn More/Here's how YOU can help:

February 24th, 7:30-9:30 am Pacific2.24.23 Friday Forum - Dialogue between the Black and Jewish communities through music: Brubeck's "The Gates of Justice" at Holman UMC
Event Description: By the time Dave Brubeck was commissioned to write a piece of music by the Union of American Hebrew Congregations, the bond formed by the Jewish and African American communities during the civil rights movement had weakened and was starting to break down in the wake of the assassination of Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
On Tuesday, February 28th, the Lowell Milken Center for Music of American Jewish Experience at UCLA in collaboration with Holman United Methodist Church will be presenting a concert in their Music and Justice series at Holeman UMC that features a performance of Dave Brubeck's The Gates of Justice. This powerful work of interfaith and intercultural unity and hope is a work that pulls from biblical and Hebrew liturgical texts, Martin Luther King’s speeches, African American spirituals and from the writings of the Jewish sage Hillel, and this Dave Brubeck composition with lyrics by Iola Brubeck still resonates today.Please join us for a discussion on the Milken Center, the ongoing work of Holeman UMC, and the intersection of art and activism in the context of music and Black freedom.
“When King said, ‘We must live together as brothers,’ people didn’t hear it. Now they damn well hear it.”

January 13th, 7:30-9:30 am PacificFriday Forum - Greg Palast on Vote Supression
"Those who rage against and work against expanding the electorate know what's at stake. The goal is to block access to the ballot and to policy making because letting the agitators inside might yield new laws to remedy inequality or injustice". -- Stacy Abrams
The push to prevent people from voting has always been an American tradition - from Poll Taxes to supposed "literacy tests", those who want to suppress the rights of citizens have always known that the power is not in who votes, but in who counts the votes.
Investigative reporter Greg Palast will be informing us on recent and ongoing attempts to disenfranchise voters, and the ongoing work to make sure that everyone has equal access to the ballot box.
Join the conversation with our speaker:
Greg Palast Greg Palast is known for his investigative reports for The Guardian, BBC Television and Democracy Now. Palast is author of several New York Times bestsellers including "The Best Democracy Money Can Buy".
Palast’s new film, "Vigilante: Georgia’s Vote Suppression Hitman", produced by Martin Sheen and narrated by Rosario Dawson, will be released later this year.7:30 - 7:35 Log in and socialize

At its peak, the illegal detention center at Guantanamo Bay held some 800 men and boys of Muslim faith - most of whom were never charged with a crime. Today, 35 prisoners still languish there.
After the Guantanamo Bay prison camp was opened, the Bush Administration commissioned the torture memos, a series of documents designed to retroactively provide a pseudo-legal justification for crimes against humanity. To date no one in the Bush administration has been called to account for writing and implementing these documents.Let's send a message to President Biden:
Close Guantanamo NOW and release all detainees!
End torture NOW and prosecute the torturers and those who authorized them.Speakers:

January 6th, 7:30-9:30 am PacificFriday Forum - WHY IS GUANTANAMO STILL OPEN?
A group of thought leaders and activists on the issue of Guantanamo discuss its dreadful history, how it clashes with America's stated ideals, and the prospects for its closure.
Joining longtime ICUJP member and "Close Guantanamo" event organizer Jon Krampner are the Rev. Ron Stief of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, Mohammad Tajsar of the ACLU of Southern California, and Michael Rapkin, a member of the Guantanamo Bar.
Join the conversation with our speakers:
MOHAMMAD TAJSAR has been a staff attorney at the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California since 2017. One of his areas of primary concentration is national security and counter-terrorism policy, with a particular focus on the impacts of national security law on Arab, Muslim, Middle Eastern, and South Asian communities.
MICHAEL RAPKIN, along with his son, is a senior partner in the Marina Del Rey law firm of Rapkin and Associates. He has been a real estate lawyer for 46 years and, since 2005, a member of the Guantanamo Bar. He had two clients in Guantanamo, both of whom were transferred out after undergoing torture and indefinite detention at the hands of the U.S. government. Charges were never filed against either of them.
REV. RON STIEF, an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ, is the executive director of the National Religious Campaign Against Torture, an interfaith organization of more than 325 religious organizations committed to ending U.S.-sponsored torture. He is a national leader and faith strategist on ending CIA torture and ending the torture of solitary confinement in U.S. prisons.
JON KRAMPNER (moderator) has organized ICUJP's “Close Guantanamo” protest rally in front of the Downtown Los Angeles Federal Building for the last 12 years; before that he solo picketed there every January 11. His article “The Fog Machine,” about the CIA's “extraordinary rendition” (torture taxi) program appeared in the summer 2016 issue of The Brooklyn Rail.7:30 - 7:35 Log in and socialize

December 16th, 7:30-9:30 am PacificFriday Forum: ICUJP Holiday Gathering and Call for Ukraine/Russia Christmas Truce
In December 1914, small pockets of French, German, Belgian and British troops held impromptu cease-fires across the Western Front, with reports of some on the Eastern Front as well. Some accounts suggest a few of these unofficial truces remained in effect for days. These troops honored each other's humanity when the leaders of their countries just wanted to wage war.
We are honored to host Medea Benjamin from Code Pink, who will be talking about the call for a Christmas Truce in Ukraine as well as observations highlighted in her new book War in Ukraine: Making Sense of a Senseless Conflict, and we will have reflections from other ICUJP presenters sharing their thoughts on the past year, their work, and ways that we in ICUJP can be of service in creating a more peaceful and just world in the upcoming year and beyond.Join the conversation with our speaker:
Medea Benjamin is an American political activist who was the co-founder of Code Pink with Jodie Evans and others. Along with activist and author Kevin Danaher, she created the fair trade advocacy group Global Exchange. Benjamin was the Green Party candidate in California in 2000 for the United States Senate, receiving the highest raw vote total of any Green Party U.S. Senate candidate.
As part of Code Pink's mission, Benjamin helped organize many International Women's Day Marches and Mother's Day Calls for Peace, the latter to bring back the original intent of Mother's Day as women mobilizing against war. These included bringing women from war-torn countries such as Iraq, Palestine, and Afghanistan to the U.S. to speak about their experiences. Between 2003 and 2010, Benjamin helped organize anti-war mass mobilizations in Washington, D.C., New York City, and San Francisco.
Benjamin organized the campaign Bring Our War Dollars Home, which fought to divert money from the Pentagon into social programs at home.

The Brazilian Landless Rural Workers Movement – MST -- is a Brazilian social movement fighting for land, agrarian reform, and social change. It is the result of a long history of land concentration and social inequality and is inspired by various forms of resistance and popular struggles for social justice and the sovereignty of people.
For 38 years the MST has organized landless peasants throughout Brazil to fight for their land and produce healthy food, building a better life for their families with education, health, and culture, based on cooperation and respect for each other and for nature.
The MST has organized more than 1.5 million people in about 1,200 cities located in 23 states and the Federal District.
The MST is part of La Via Campesina, an international coalition of more than 170 peasant movements from 80 countries worldwide.
Join the conversation with our speaker:
Cassia Bechara has been a member of the MST since 2001. She has taken on different tasks in the Movement, such as in the communications sector and grassroots organizer. Today she is a member of MST National Board and coordinates the International Relations Collective.

November 18th, 7:30-9:30 am PacificCarolfrances Likins: Fair Trade Gift-Giving as Acts of Solidarity
When you start gift shopping – whether your traditional gift-giving time will be this December or next April – will your money go to enrich a capitalist corporation? Or will it go straight to a village or town where women and men will put it toward a school, a clinic, a water purification system, or whatever else the workers vote to use it on after paying themselves the agreed-on amount?
Most Fair Trade producers are women and men who have broken out of the capitalist hold by forming worker-owned co-ops. No bosses. And in place of the profiteering middle-man, Fair Trade companies form long-term relationships with the workers, buying at a fair price, and selling to us through a non-profit store chain like Ten Thousand Villages, small shops, pop-up bazaars, websites, or in some cases major stores.
From bars of chocolate to major gifts, what we give makes a difference in the world.
We will see a large array of gifts available through Fair Trade networks. You might want to screenshot some of them, so if you don’t know how to do this, you might want to learn beforehand.
Join the conversation with our speaker:
Carolfrances Likins is a retired teacher with three decades in elementary schools of Watts and Compton. She has traveled as an internationalist to places where people ask for our solidarity, from Latin America to the Middle East.

What can we learn from the lessons that many students in Watts and Compton taught their teacher? And what lessons developed there could be used by teachers and their advocates in other working class environments? When children feel powerless, and when some among them feel that acting out and disrupting their classrooms is their only means to feel empowered, how can we heal them with hope and the knowledge of other paths?
Carolfrances Likins taught elementary school for about three decades, mostly in Compton and Watts, where she sometimes was supported by the administrations, sometime strongly opposed by them, as she strove to be a catalyst to her students discovering what their cultures have in common with those of others.

Only days after the devastating 9/11 attacks, the late Rev. George F. Regas brought together Christians, Jews, Muslims, Quakers, humanists and people of many faiths and beliefs to found Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace. Acutely aware that this dire moment posed a grave threat to peace and justice, George knew instinctively that peacemakers needed to create a place to gather, organize, pray, and act together united by the fundamental principle that Religious Communities Must Stop Blessing War and Violence.
Since its founding, ICUJP has remained true to George's vision. Meeting at over 1,000 Friday Forums, ICUJP has heard from speakers from all over the world; organized mass demonstrations, vigils, and acts of civil disobedience; presented numerous conferences and webinars; held an annual Close Guantanamo rally; sent many delegations to meet with elected officials; issued a variety of statements, petitions and policy papers on a wide range of international and domestic issues; provided scholarships to deserving peace activists; supported the work of our allies in the cause of peace and racial and economic justice; and provided a loving, safe, and compassionate home for anyone committed to the struggle to replace war with peace and oppression with justice.

Announcing the 2022 Honorees!
Co-founder of the United Farm Workers Association, Dolores Clara Fernandez Huerta is one of the most influential labor activists of the 20th century and a leader of the Chicano civil rights movement.
Born on April 10, 1930 in Dawson, New Mexico, Huerta was the second of three children of Alicia and Juan Fernandez, a farm worker and miner who became a state legislator in 1938. Her parents divorced when Huerta was three years old, and her mother moved to Stockton, California with her children. Huerta’s grandfather helped raise Huerta and her two brothers while her mother juggled jobs as a waitress and cannery worker until she could buy a small hotel and restaurant. Alicia’s community activism and compassionate treatment of workers greatly influenced her daughter.
The recipient of many honors, Huerta received the Eleanor Roosevelt Human Rights Award in 1998 and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2012. As of 2015, she was a board member of the Feminist Majority Foundation, the Secretary-Treasurer Emeritus of the United Farm Workers of America, and the President of the Dolores Huerta Foundation.
Steve Earle is one of the most acclaimed singer-songwriters of his generation. A protege of legendary songwriters Townes Van Zandt and Guy Clark, he quickly became a master storyteller in his own right, with his songs being recorded by Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Joan Baez, Emmylou Harris, The Pretenders, and countless others. 1986 saw the release of his debut record, Guitar Town, which shot to No. 1 on the Country Charts and is now regarded as a classic of the Americana genre. Subsequent releases like The Revolution Starts...Now (2004), Washington Square Serenade (2007), and TOWNES (2009) received consecutive GRAMMY® Awards. Restlessly creative across artistic disciplines, Earle has published both a novel and a collection of short stories; produced albums for other artists such as Joan Baez and Lucinda Williams, and acted in films, television (including David Simon’s acclaimed The Wire), and on the stage. He currently hosts a radio show for Sirius XM.
In 2009, Earle made his off-Broadway theatre debut in the play Samara, for which he also wrote a score that The New York Times described as “exquisitely subliminal.” Earle wrote music for and appeared in Coal Country, a riveting public theater play that dives into the most-deadly mining disaster in U.S. history, for which he was nominated for a Drama Desk Award. Earle was also previously nominated for a Primetime Emmy in 2010 for Outstanding Music and Lyrics in the drama series Treme.
His 2020 album Ghosts of West Virginia was named as one of “The 50 Best Albums of 2020 So Far” by Rolling Stone. Mr. Earle was recently (Nov. 2020) inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame, and released his 21st studio album J.T. in January 2021 as an homage to his late son Justin Townes Earle. In May 2022, Earle released his most recent album Jerry Jeff, a 10-track collection comprised of hit tracks and deep-cuts from Jerry Jeff Walker to pay tribute to the colorful cowboy troubadour who passed away in October 2021.

Many of the conflicts, divisions, and problems we confront individually, socially, and globally can be traced to the linear, hierarchical, competitive thinking we have been doing for 5,000 years. A new way of thinking is being used by the military, aviation, corporations, and governments to create a more cooperative, kinder, and effective way of relating to each other. Linda Seger will talk about this new thinking model she calls Web Thinking, based on the spider web and world wide web.
Join the discussion with our speaker:

September 2nd, 7:30-9:30 am PacificWHY WE NEED TO TEACH PEACE AND JUSTICE IN AMERICA’S PUBLIC SCHOOLS
Description: Just when students in the United States are most in need of learning the best and the worst in American history, the right of teachers to teach free of censorship and government interference is under assault.
Join us for a timely discussion exploring these vital issues. Why do students deserve to learn about peace and justice, as much as reading, writing, and arithmetic? How has the American educational system addressed the teaching of peace and justice and how can it do a better job? What happens to teachers who try to teach outside the patriotic boundaries of permitted material? How has the training of teachers in the United States perpetuated White Supremacy? What’s behind efforts in Congress and state legislatures to ban the teaching of The 1619 Project, Critical Race Theory, and a People’s History of the United States? How can we fight back? https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/florida-educators-and-students-file-lawsuit-challenging-stop-woke-censorship-law

Although Howard died in 2010, his work continues to inform and inspire educators around the world. His most popular book, A People’s History of the United States, has sold more than 4 million copies.
We will hear from two people who play a leadership role with initiatives designed to carry on and expand the work of Howard Zinn and other people's historians -- Voices of a People's History and the Zinn Education Project. They will describe their work in the context of these times, including how an increasing number of teachers and students are committed to education beyond the confines of a traditional textbook. This interest in learning honestly about the history of white supremacy is being met by an orchestrated attack by the right wing with draconian laws and McCarthy like teacher hit lists. In this Howard Zinn Centennial year, learn what you can do to defend the teaching of people's history.Join the discussion with our speakers:

CLUE: Building Our Faith-Rooted Community for Worker, Immigrant and Racial Justice
Description: For almost 30 years, Clergy & Laity United for Economic Justice has been educating, mobilizing and organizing the faith community of Southern California to take sustained and transformative action for worker justice in solidarity with our union and labor movement partners. We are incredibly proud of how we met the moment time and again during the past few years of the Trump and Biden eras with powerful actions and campaigns, while also extending into our work a profound value of immigrant and racial justice. Join us this Friday morning, July 22 as we celebrate the incredible work that CLUE and UNITE HERE! Local 11 have done already in 2022, for example our successful campaign to pass the Hotel Worker Protection Ordinance in the City of LA, and offer to the interfaith community the electrifying opportunity to join us in building power for justice in the coming years.
Join the discussion with our speaker:Matthew Hom (he/him) is the Faith-Rooted Organizer in Los Angeles and Santa Monica at CLUE (Clergy & Laity United for Economic Justice). He grew up in a multiracial and interfaith Chinese and Ashkenazi Jewish family in Cerritos, studied history and music at UC Irvine, and earned a Master’s in Jewish Studies at NYU. Since pursuing a career in social justice organizing, he has worked with the California Democratic Party and CAIR on electoral campaigns and Census outreach, and served in volunteer leadership roles with Jewish progressive organizations. In his role at CLUE, he organizes clergy and congregational leaders from diverse faith traditions as they build communities of action for economic and racial justice, and in solidarity with workers and immigrants. Matthew teaches Hebrew School at Temple Isaiah, is a member of the Boyle Heights Chavurah, and serves on the Grant Advisory Committee of the Jews of Color Initiative. He feels called by his faith and identities to help build a vibrant and transformative multiracial democracy in Southern California.

Alternatives to Capitalism
(RSVP BELOW FOR ZOOM LINK)
Description: Join us as we recognize that, while we must work for social change within the system – such as stopping police forces from brutalizing people of color and fighting corporations that are polluting our environment – we will always have an uphill battle as long as capitalism continues to reward the bourgeoisie for devastating the working class and the environment. We will look at alternatives that offer hope.

“Why We Should Fight for Communism and Nothing Less”: Bonnie Blustein, a member of the editorial collective of Red Flag/Bandera Roja newspaper, the AFT 1521 Social Justice Committee, and a former ICUJP board member.

June 17th, 7:30-9:30 am PacificDescription: Join Maraky from BAJI (Black Alliance for Just Immigration) as they share the current state of Black migrants in CA and at the US-Mexico border. Black migrants continue to be under attack due to rampant anti-Blackness across the Americas. Come and learn about the harm that the United States is exporting to other countries with its racist policies & practices.
Speaker:
Maraky Alemseged is BAJI’s Los Angeles Organizer. She is a second-generation Ethiopian immigrant who was born and bred in Los Angeles to two revolutionaries.
As a result, Maraky has spent her lifetime challenging unjust systems of oppression with the knowledge that “the personal is political and the political is personal.” Their nascent professional career is built atop years of community organizing, with heavy involvement in local, national, and international Black migrant communities. Maraky is a Pan-African abolitionist and believes in approaching social justice issues from an intersectional lens.
Here's how YOU can help:
Call on your Senators and the Biden administration to immediately put an end to racist policies like Title 42 and offer permanent protections for Black migrants. Read BAJI's newest report on racist immigration policies that trap Black migrants in Mexico. The report will be launched on BAJI's website on World Refugee Day (Monday 6/20).

June 10th, 7:30-9:30 am PacificUnited to House LA: Why Housing Should Be a Human Right!
(SCROLL DOW TO RSVP FOR ZOOM LINK)
Description: Discussion of “United to House LA”ballot measure, which if passed will create the largest investment in affordable housing in the history of the City of Los Angeles. This presentation will cover the background, current status, and potential future impacts of this important local ballot measure – as well as how it relates to the larger goals of ending housing insecurity, advancing a right to housing, and ending criminalization of poverty. There will also be Q & A and several opportunities to take action.
Speaker:
Kath Rogers is a staff attorney on the ACLU SoCal Dignity for All project where she works to advance the rights of unhoused community members through litigation and policy advocacy.
Prior to joining the ACLU, Kath served as Program Manager and Adjunct Professor at the University of Southern California, helping to launch and develop Agents of Change: Civil Rights Advocacy Initiative - a first of its kind undergraduate clinical program. She also served as Executive Director of the National Lawyers Guild Los Angeles where she collaborated with coalition partners and stakeholders to advance policies relating to free speech, housing justice, and labor and immigrant rights.
Kath also maintained a solo legal practice focused on civil rights cases. Her legal work included defending unhoused clients and activists, as well as co-counseling on a federal constitutional class action lawsuit, Arundel v. City of San Diego, challenging criminalization of houselessness, which resulted in a settlement to change discriminatory policing practices.
Kath graduated with High Honors from Thomas Jefferson School of Law in San Diego and received her BA in History with Provost Honors from the University of California San Diego. Prior to her law career, Kath worked as a community organizer for more than a decade on local and state campaigns to advance social justice.
Here's how you can help:
Learn more about “United to House LA,” follow the campaign on social media, help to gather endorsements for the campaign, and help with voter outreach and get-out-the-vote efforts. As we approach the election, it will be important to tell friends and family members to vote yes on this measure.

June 3rd, 7:30-9:30 am PacificHow Anti-Muslim Animus is Fueling the Great Replacement Conspiracy Theory
Description: The discussion will center around the narrative of the replacement theory that is being pushed by right-wing media, that Jews are financing Muslim immigrants to take over America. This theory began in Europe when a French ethno-nationalist coined the idea of “Eurabia” and is spreading around the globe. Working together toward a pluralistic democracy is the counter-narrative that deflates the idea that Muslims are here to replace white civilization.
Speaker:
Salam Al-Marayati is President and co-founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC). Nationally recognized for his commitment to improving the public understanding of Islam and policies impacting American Muslims, he oversees MPAC’s groundbreaking civic engagement, public policy, and advocacy work.An expert on Islam in the West, Muslim reform movements, human rights, democracy, national security, and Middle East politics, Salam has spoken at the White House, on Capitol Hill, and represented the U.S. at international human rights and religious freedom conferences.Salam is an adjunct faculty member at Bayan Claremont, a board member of the Muslim Reform Institute, and an advisor to several
political, civic, and academic institutions seeking to understand the role of Islam and Muslims in America and throughout the world.
Deeply involved in interfaith activities, Salam was co-chair of the Interfaith Coalition to Heal Los Angeles, which formed in the wake of the 1992 uprisings.Salam’s writings have appeared in every major national news publication including the New York Times, Wall Street Journal, Washington Post, and Los Angeles Times. He has been interviewed on
national and international news outlets including CNN, MSNBC, Fox News and C-SPAN.Here's how you can help:
ICUJP can help by uniting with us to build a movement to silence false narratives about other humanities.

PLEASE SUPPORT ICUJP'S FERVENT CALL THAT RELIGIOUS COMMUNITIES MUST STOP BLESSING WAR AND VIOLENCE BY MAKING A GENEROUS DONATION
DONATE TO ICUJP
As Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace enters its third decade and as war and violence and injustice wreak havoc around the world and in our own country, we are so grateful to our supporters who have helped sustain our work educating and advocating for the cause of justice and peace. With a small part-time staff and lots of volunteers, your donations help us meet our budget and expand our reach.
ICUJP began the year on January 11 with our 17th annual Close Guantanamo Rally in front of the Federal Building in Downtown Los Angeles (and live-streamed on social media) condemning the ongoing human rights violations at the infamous detention center, featuring speakers from the ACLU of Southern California, the National Lawyers Guild, Code Pink, Out Against War, American Muslims for Palestine, Jewish Voice for Peace, and the Council on American Islamic Relations.
So far this year alone we have presented a series of exceptional Friday Forums exploring:
- the Life and Struggles of Archbishop Desmond Tutu;
- the Call for Reparations;
- Insurrection, the Supreme Court, and the Future of American Democracy;
- Environmental Justice;
- the sacred sites of the Anishinaabe Peoples in Northern Minnesota;
- the Crisis in Yemen: Ending U.S. Involvement in War and Blockade;
- the pilgrimage along the Migrant Trail from Guatemala City to Tapachula, Mexico;
- Challenges to Democracy from Right-wing Nationalists, Populist and Strongman Movements;
- non-violent direct action support for the people of Myanmar/Burma;
- Ukraine: The Path to Peace; Practicing Non Violence in the Context of the Oscars and Ukraine;
- and the transformative work by the The Actors’ Gang (TAG) Prison Project for inmates and those recently released.
In addition, our Anti-racism Committee meets each week (except the third Friday) immediately after the Friday Forum to explore how ICUJP can initiate a broad interfaith movement to challenge systemic racism. This gives us the intersectionality of covering the problem in all its forms: racism in policing, health care, housing, the economy, the military, the environment, and every other aspect of society. We have and will continue to organize public events and gatherings.
We know that you are asked to support a wide array of worthy organizations. All we ask is that you include ICUJP among them with as generous a contribution as you can afford.
We are especially grateful to whose who can make a sustaining monthly donation of $5, $10, $25, $50, or $100. If you're able to give an annual contribution of $250, $500, or $1,000, it would allow us to mount more events and conferences throughout the year. If you belong to a congregation or organization, please explore whether they can make a donation or grant.
We appreciate your contributions, large and small, monthly or annually. We have been in this struggle for over twenty years, and, with your help, we are committed to continuing our work so long as war, violence, and injustice plague humanity and obstruct the search for justice and peace.
Thank you for your generous support.

April 15th, 7:30-9:30 am PacificThe Actors’ Gang (TAG) Prison Project
(SCROLL DOWN AND RSVP FOR LINK)
Description: The Actors’ Gang (TAG) Prison Project is a nationally recognized rehabilitation program launched in response to California’s huge recidivism rate and extreme overcrowding in 2006. Our program starts as a 7-day, 4-hours a day, intensive theatrical arts program which transitions to an ongoing weekly peer-led class managed by the program director and overseen by the teaching artists. The program uses a highly physical and emotional style of theater as a tool to create a safe space for participants to develop self-assurance, self-respect, acceptance of others and community, while fostering core/soft skills and promoting personal responsibility, “I am a master of my mind, not a victim of my thinking.”
This year we will be running 16 programs inside 14 California state prisons.
To date more than 1700 incarcerated people have participated in The Prison Project.
FACTS:
- Impact Justice reports an 89% decrease in disciplinary incidents, known as 115’s, for participants who have completed our program.
- According to CDCR preliminary analysis, people who have completed our program have a 10.6% recidivism rate.
Speakers:
Ezequiel Gonzalez My name is Ezequiel Gonzalez Lemus. I am 29 years old. I was detained at 15 years old and sentenced to 23-years in state prison. After 12-years, I was commuted, released, and deported back to my native country, Mexico. Since my release a year and a half ago, I dedicated what I gained in prison to serve my community. I teach free art classes at a local community center, I'm starting my Mexican food business, and together with a group of women, I am founding Comedia del Arte Tecate, a theater company based on The Actors' Gang Prison Project.
Henry Palacio My name is Henry Palacio and I was introduced to The Actors' Gang in 2017 and participated in 2019. This is the first time I was able to tap into the four states of emotion: Happy, Sad, Angry & Fear. Together with the states and exercises, I was able to utilize the skill to navigate my institutional behavior and navigate my re-entry to society. Now I mirror the compassion that was demonstrated to me by the Teaching Artists who continue to teach me. I give this same compassion to incarcerated youth and adults. Actors' Gang is being utilized as an intervention to slow the pipeline to incarceration.
John Dich - My Name is John Dich. I joined The Actors’ Gang Prison Project in 2016 while serving a life sentence. During my participation while incarcerated, TAG gave me tools to reconnect to the lost individual I was. I developed soft skills, with an emphasis on how to properly manage my emotions which I utilized daily. Since my release in 2019, I was hired onto The Actors’ Gang Staff as the Alumni Advocacy Coordinator, continuing to serve those incarcerated and released back into society.
Montrell Harrell - My name is Montrell Harrell, and I am 33 years old. I joined the Actors' Gang in 2012 at CRC Prison where I was serving a 10 year sentence. The Actors' Gang has completely changed my life and given me the tools to be successful in life. I work for the Actors' Gang Prison project and now go back to prison where I promised myself I would never return. Actors' Gang also gave me a career.
Robert Chavez My name is Robert Chavez, I am a Los Angeles native, and first generation Mexican American. Both of my parents migrated to the U.S with the hopes of a better quality of life. At the age of 19 I was sentenced to a Life term within the California Department of Corrections. This was a journey of violence and self-discovery. Initially I lived a life that was void of hope, as a lifer I was condemned to spend the rest of my life in prison.
In 2016 I was introduced to The Actors' Gang, a program that would have a significant impact on my overall outlook on life. I began to challenge years of ingrained gang cultural beliefs, ultimately gaining insight to a deeper, authentic identity that had always existed within me. I began to give myself an opportunity to address past and current traumas. This inner freedom allowed me to regain my physical freedom, and in 2018 I was given an opportunity to address The Board of Parole Hearings.
I was fortunate that day, and I was granted parole on my initial hearing. Upon my release I joined The Actors' Gang as an alumni, and then soon became a Teaching Artist. In addition, I am a Life Coach for The Anti- Recidivism Coalition, and above all, I am a father of a beautiful two-year-old. I am proud and humbled to be part of a great movement, no longer a person that contributed to the destruction of my community, but someone that builds and thrives for a brighter society.
Richard Loya - My name is Richard Loya. I am a first generation Mexican-American, born in East Los Angeles, California, raised by immigrant parents. I am 50 yrs old, and formerly incarcerated. At 16 yrs old, I committed a crime, and right before my 18th birthday, I was sentenced to 27 years to life. I ended up serving 30 years in the California prison system. It was there that I learned of the Arts.
The Actors’ Gang Prison Project came to Avenal State Prison and introduced to us (me), these methods and techniques on how to tap into, channel, even control my emotions through this highly intense style of theater. Four years later, I am now Program Manager of The Prison Project. I’m off parole, and have continued doing the work out here in the community. I go back inside into the thirteen prisons we’re currently working in. We’re in re-entry, and recently have been cleared by Probation to work with the Youth.

Bob Zellner
Civil Rights Activist – Member of SNCC
(Student Non-violent Coordinating Committee)Bob Zellner brings to life the victories, struggles and heartbreaks of the Civil Rights era in a way that empowers and instructs audiences and the modern-day movement.
Bob is one of the most influential leaders in the Civil Rights Movement, from the 1960s to today. The son and grandson of Ku Klux Klan members, he risked his life – and nearly
lost it – many times in the fight to achieve The Second Emancipation. As an organizer of The Freedom Rides of 1961 and the first white southerner to serve as field secretary for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee, he worked alongside Martin Luther King, Jr., John Lewis, Rosa Parks, Julian Bond, Diane Nash and many other civil rights leaders. Famous for battles with the KKK, lynch mobs, and violent police, he is now the individual that a new generation turns to with questions on the racial, historical and cultural assumptions on which they were raised, as they ask themselves, "What is my place in this struggle?"
Bob captivates audiences with the untold stories of the Civil Rights Movement and his dedication to fighting for the rights of others. Drawing on decades of experience guiding the movement and his ongoing active role, he presents a modern-day message for combating deep-seated racism, discrimination and prejudice and sparking widespread social change. The highly anticipated film Son of the South, based on Bob's autobiography The Wrong Side of Murder Creek, was released February 5, 2021.

Challenges to Democracy from Right-wing Nationalists, Populist and Strongman Movements
Description: A PowerPoint presentation will provide an overview of Trump’s six years, including his campaign for president in 2016, his presidency for four years, his loss of the Nov. 2020 election, and the ongoing “Big Lie” that he won. The presentation will also touch on Trump's many Russian ties - including Putin- his love of dictators, and his view of democracy as weak. We will discuss how Trump's increasing appeals to white racism and his efforts to stay in power via several coup attempts which culminated in the Jan. 6 capitol insurrection, two impeachments, and his ongoing hold on the Republican Party (demanding total one-way loyalty). Many investigations have been made into his finances and possibly criminal actions. However, now that Trump has had to leave office his stated desire is to run for president again in 2024. Finally, we will discuss how Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and the resulting targeting of civilians and wholesale carnage to the country may be forcing some Republicans to re-examine their support for right-wing nationalist and populist strongman dictators, like Putin and Trump even as right-wing strongman trends are occurring in many other countries today.

March 11th, 7:30-9:30 am PacificReflections from the Migrant Trail: Guatemala City to Tapachula, Mexico
(SCROLL DOWN AND RSVP FOR ZOOM LINK)
Description: Southern Californian Episcopalians set out on January 16 for a week of pilgrimage, accompaniment, fact-finding, and witness along the “migrant road” — a route commonly taken by people from around the world who have been forcibly displaced by violence, environmental disaster, extreme poverty, and racism. The small group included clergy, laity, and diocesan staff, most of whom were seasoned church immigration activists who had been to the region before. The purpose of the visit to Guatemala and, later in the week, to Tapachula Mexico, was to strengthen ties with partners in both countries while learning more about personal narratives of those who set out on the migrant road. Upon returning, the hope was to deepen our fellow Episcopalians’ understanding of the human dimensions of the crisis and become more effective advocates for just U.S. policies in the region. Grace Dyrness was a member of the delegation and she will report on some of what the group discovered along the way.
Speaker:
Grace Dyrness is a private consultant in local, grassroots community development and a part-time associate professor in the Sol Price School of Public Policy at the University of Southern California where she teaches in the areas of public service in an urban setting, social context of planning, and sustainable communities. She has graduate degrees from the Ateneo de Manila University and the University of Southern California. Her doctoral work focused on the growth of the informal sector of the Los Angeles economy, particularly on a project with the city’s street vendors. She serves on a variety of boards including founding Board Member of ICUJP, Housing Works, The Christian-Muslim Consultative Group, the Epiphany Trust, the CommunityAdvisory Council of The Wall Las Memorias Project, the Center for Latino Church Studies at Fuller Theological Seminary.

Crisis in Yemen: Ending U.S. Involvement in War and Blockade(Scroll down to register and receive Zoom link)
Description:
One year after the Biden administration announced an end to U.S. support for the Saudi-led coalition’s offensive operations in Yemen, critical forms of U.S. military support remain, including ongoing spare parts transfers and maintenance for Saudi warplanes. As the war approaches the seven-year mark the conflict continues to escalate, and Yemeni civilians suffer the consequences. This event will offer reflections on the Biden administration’s Yemen approach over the past year and discuss steps Congress can take to resolve the crisis.
Our conversation comes at a desperate moment with roughly 16.2 million Yemenis at risk of famine. The UN warned in March 2021 that 400,000 children under the age of 5 could perish from severe acute malnutrition without urgent action. Despite growing pressure from lawmakers, civil society, and Yemeni-American activists against the Saudi blockade of Yemen the Saudi-led coalition only allowed 5% of Yemen's fuel needs into its Red Sea ports in December and conducted multiple airstrikes on Sana’a Airport, closing the runway to UN-aid flights. The lack of fuel has driven the price of food and water beyond the reach of many Yemenis, increasing the risk of malnutrition and starvation. Over 15,000 Yemeni civilians were displaced by the conflict in December, and over 350 civilians were killed directly by the conflict.
At this event Hassan El-Tayyab, FCNL's Middle East policy lead, will offer updates on the war and blockade, the ongoing humanitarian crisis, and the US's role; highlight stories from the ground in Yemen; analyze the Biden administration’s policies over the past year; and offer perspectives on what role Congress can play in ending U.S. involvement in the war and blockade.Speaker:
Hassan El-Tayyab is FCNL’s legislative director for Middle East policy. His passion for foreign affairs is rooted in his desire to make life better for people in the Middle East, including his extended family in Jordan. He is convinced that advancing a more peaceful and diplomacy-based foreign policy in the Middle East is critical, not only for the family he loves, but for peace and stability worldwide.Prior to joining FCNL in August 2019, he was co-director of the national advocacy group Just Foreign Policy, where he led their lobbying work to advance a more progressive foreign policy in the Middle East and Latin America. He played a major role in the successful passage of the War Powers Resolution to end U.S. military participation in the Saudi-led coalition’s war and blockade on Yemen.
His writings and commentaries have been featured in numerous news outlets, including CNN, BBC World News, Politico, The Hill, Al Jazeera, The Huffington Post, The Intercept and more.

Reparations, Land Back and the Ally Response
The word reparations raises so many questions. For instance, what are they, how do they relate to settler colonialism and slavery, and how can we, people committed to justice and peace, respond to the call for reparations on stolen land. We hope to provide some answers to these questions, and direction for possible action. We’ll hear from Karen Hilfman about reparations in general plus three amazing panelists active in the reparations and land back movements - traci kato-kiryama, Ian Schiffer, and David Gardinier - about why reparations is important to them and the kinds of work they do.
Speakers:
Karen Hilfman (she/her) is a long-time Los Angeles economic, racial justice and feminist organizer, most recently active with White People 4 Black Lives (the L.A. affiliate of Showing Up for Racial Justice), the Fund For Reparations NOW!, and Jewish Voice for Peace – Los Angeles. She’s retired from a human resource career at Jewish Family Service, Los Angeles. Karen’s been learning a lot from the younger generations about how the “abolition” movement is a more nuanced, grounded, and constructive approach to dismantling racialized capitalist and imperialist systems of oppression than was the “revolutionary” movement of the 1970’s. Her top interests are movement organization and relationship building and writing.
traci kato-kiriyama (they+she) --based on unceded Tongva land in the south bay of Los Angeles-- is an award-winning multi-, inter- and transdisciplinary artist, recognized for their work as a writer/performer, theatre deviser, cultural producer, and community organizer. As a storyteller and Artivist, tkk is grounded in collaborative process, collective self-determination, and art+community as intrinsically tied and a critical means toward connection and healing. She is a performer & principal writer for PULLproject Ensemble, two-time NET recipient; NEFA 2021-22 finalist for their show TALES OF CLAMOR. tkk —presented for over 25 years in hundreds of venues throughout North America as a writer, actor, poet, speaker, guest lecturer, facilitator, Artist-in-Residence, and organizing / arts & culture consultant— has come to appreciate a wildly hybrid career.
Ian Schiffer (he/him) is an organizer, resource mobilizer, and ritual leader born and raised in Tovaangar/LA. Through his role as Community Weaver with Nefesh, an open-hearted spiritual community, he supports bridge-building, and inner-outer multi-faith Tikkun. Ian works with boys and men in building nurturance culture and is honored to be connected to the Tongva Tahrahat Paxaavxa conservancy. He's interested in offering spiritual, radical real estate, and ancestral support to other settlers interested in being good guests/kuuyam through land rematriation/teshuvah. Ian is a life-long Dalai Lama Fellow, loves ritual walks at the beach, and spacious time with kin.
David Gardinier (he/she/they) is working to build a healthy anti-racist white identity both within themself and with the white people in their community, and it is this vision that led them to found the Fund for Reparations NOW!. David comes from Spokane, WA, but now lives in Los Angeles, CA, where they are an active member of the Alliance of White Anti Racists Everywhere (AWARE) - LA. Over the years, David has come to see reparations work as their highest calling, and they are eager to see the payment of formal reparations to African Americans within their lifetime.

The Best Tribute to Desmond Tutu Would Be Freedom for All
In a series of reflections on his decades of personal and political connections with Archbishop Tutu, inter-faith activist and human rights academic Matt Meyer will tell stories about his times with the Arch, share political campaigns of importance to his legacy, and suggest ways in which his particular praxis - of radical nonviolence based on justice and liberation - is especially relevant for the 21st Century. There will be time for prayers, questions, and dialogue, and as would be a requirement of the Archbishop: there will also be some jokes!
Speaker:
Matt Meyer is an internationally noted historian, orator, and organizer who serves as Secretary-General of the International Peace Research Association, the world’s leading consortium of university-based professors, scholars, students, and community leaders. Meyer is the Senior Research Scholar of the University of Massachusetts/Amherst’s Resistance Studies Initiative, active also with the International Fellowship of Reconciliation and the War Resisters’ International. The author/editor of over a dozen books, Meyer’s work focuses on African Peace and Nonviolence Studies; 21st Century Decolonization; the Strategies and Tactics of Movement-building; and Political Prisoners of Conscience and the Abolition of White Supremacy. South African Nobel Peace Laureate Archbishop Desmond Tutu, in his Introduction to Meyer’s first book Guns and Gandhi in Africa (co-authored with Pan-African pacifist Bill Sutherland), noted that they “have looked beyond the short-term strategies and tactics which too often divide progressive peoples…and begun to develop a language which looks at the roots of our humanness.” Argentine Nobel Peace Laureate Adolfo Perez Esquivel, in his Introduction to Meyer’s encyclopedic look at issues of US imprisonment Let Freedom Ring, added that his “consistent work as a coalition-builder…provides tools for today’s activists.”

Description: On December 31st, ICUJP celebrated the life and struggles of Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Desmond Tutu (7 October 1931 – 26 December 2021) was one of South Africa’s most well-known human rights activists, winning the 1984 Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts in resolving and ending apartheid. Born in 1931 in Klerksdorp, Transvaal, South Africa, he became the first Black Anglican Archbishop of both Cape Town and Johannesburg. Known as the voice of the voiceless Black South Africans he was an outspoken critic of apartheid.

Rethinking Human RightsRSVP Below for Zoom Link and Password
We all know there are nations that are terribly cruel violators of sacred human rights. However, on this International Human Rights Day, we will not be delving into those because we already know about them. Instead, on this seventy-third anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR), we will spend time analyzing situations in which some of the rights spelled out in this document are pitted against others, and we’ll be voting on how best to deal with such situations. We will question what governments, organizations, and individuals we should oppose and which ones deserve our solidarity. We may or may not always agree with the organizations we believe in; what’s important is that we deepen our awareness of realities faced when people make life-determining decisions far away from the comforts we have in making ours.
Speaker:
Carolfrances Likins is an ICUJP board member and the chair of its outreach and advocacy committee. She is a retired elementary school teacher with three decades experience, mostly in Compton and Watts. She’s also a screenwriter, novelist, children’s book author, and poet. She has traveled nine times to Cuba, six to Nicaragua, twice each to Palestine, Guatemala, and El Salvador, and once each to Venezuela and México – always as an internationalist, not a tourist. For the seventieth anniversary of the UDHR, she developed an interactive cooperative game exploring the document, through which she led the ICUJP and one university class.

Outside the Law: The Legal War Against Unhoused PeopleRSVP Below for Zoom Link and Password
Event description: Unhoused Californians face discrimination daily. They are cited and jailed for lacking a house. They are forcibly segregated and banished to remote and dangerous areas. Local governments withdraw lifesaving resources from them, harass and try to shut down the places they seek refuge, and disrupt the humanitarian efforts of individuals and groups attempting to meet their survival needs. Much of the state persecution they endure is harmful and even deadly. It is also not recognized as discrimination under the law. Learn about a growing campaign to end discrimination against our unhoused neighbors and what you can do now to fight these forms of state violence against our most economically vulnerable community members.

Presenter:
Eve Garrow joined the ACLU of Southern California in November 2014. She is the Policy Analyst and Advocate for the Dignity for All Project, which seeks to promote policies that prevent and reduce housing displacement and end the criminalization of persons who are unhoused. Her work includes policy analysis, research, public education, and advocacy to promote policy changes that will secure the human right to housing, end housing displacement and the criminalization of people who are unhoused and increase the human dignity of all people.
Prior to joining the ACLU, Eve was an Assistant Professor of Social Work at the University of Michigan, where she engaged in research and policy analysis on the implementation of social policies that target marginalized populations, including people who are unhoused.

Dear friends,
Twenty years ago, only days after the devastating 9/11 attacks, the late Rev. George F. Regas brought together Christians, Jews, Muslims, Quakers, humanists and people of many other faiths and beliefs to found Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace. Acutely aware that this dire moment posed a grave threat to peace and justice, George knew instinctively that peacemakers needed to create a place to gather, organize, pray, and act together united by the fundamental principle that Religious Communities Must Stop Blessing War and Violence.

OnlineBacklash to Justice II
Moderated by Jody D. Armour,
Roy P. Crocker Professor of Law, USCJoin us online
Sunday, June 27
2:00 - 4:00 pmFree and open to all
Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace (ICUJP) is pleased to once again host Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón and Black Lives Matter leader Dr. Melina Abdullah. The event will be moderated by Jody D. Armour, law professor, scholar, and author.This forum will continue the conversation from our first Backlash to Justice event in March. The conversation will include situation updates and discussion on actions that people seeking racial justice can take. Together, we can push forward needed changes in the criminal justice system and push back efforts to reinforce mass incarceration and other repressive, racist measures in the name of victims' rights.
Speakers:
George GascónIn November 2020, George Gascón was elected Los Angeles District Attorney after promising to fight the “machine of mass incarceration,” end tough-on-crime prosecutions, free people from overcrowded prisons, and hold police accountable for misconduct. He defeated his predecessor, Jackie Lacey, who was under fire for her ties to police unions, refusal to prosecute police officers accused of abuse, and continued support for the death penalty.
Since taking office, DA Gascón has announced his department will stop seeking the death penalty, prosecuting children as adults, filing gang enhancements, and filing three-strikes charges (requiring life sentences). These changes provoked an immediate backlash. Law enforcement leaders statewide have launched a campaign to thwart DA Gascón’s reforms, including challenges from DAs and from the union of his own deputy prosecutors. Another campaign, backed by the LA County Sheriff, aims to recall him from office. The outcome of Gascón's reforms could significantly impact similar efforts across the U.S.
Dr. Melina Abdullah
In 2020, Dr. Abdullah was a chief spokesperson for "Jackie Lacey Must Go!" - an effort to replace Lacey as Los Angeles DA, led by families of those killed by law enforcement with impunity. A womanist scholar-activist and prolific author, Dr. Abdullah is a recognized expert on race, gender, class, and social movements. One of the original group whose convening led to the creation of Black Lives Matter, she co-founded Black Lives Matter-LA and continues serving as a leader in the local and national movement.
Dr. Abdullah is Professor and former Chair of Pan-African Studies at California State University, Los Angeles. She is co-host and co-producer of the KPFK radio program Beautiful Struggle and has appeared on MSNBC, CNN, ABC, PBS, Al-Jazeera and other TV news outlets. She serves on the boards of numerous academic and community action organizations and is the recipient of a wide range of awards for her work in racial justice, human rights, and community service.
Jody D. Armour
Jody David Armour is the Roy P. Crocker Professor of Law at the University of Southern California, currently teaching Criminal Law, Accident Law (Torts), and a seminar on Stereotypes, Prejudice, and the Rule of Law. A widely published scholar and popular lecturer, he studies the intersection of race, law, morality, psychology, politics, ordinary language philosophy, and the performing arts.
Armour’s latest book, N*gga Theory: Race, Language, Unequal Justice, and the Law, looks at America’s criminal justice system – among the deadliest and most racist in the world – through deeply interdisciplinary lenses. His award-winning book, Negrophobia and Reasonable Racism: The Hidden Costs of Being Black in America addresses three core concerns of the Black Lives Matter movement: racial profiling, police brutality, and mass incarceration. In addition to authoring numerous articles, Armour appears as a legal analyst on NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX, PBS, MSNBC, NPR, and many other media outlets.

Join us online:
Friday, September 11
5:00-6:15 pm Pacific Time
Free and open to all
Dear friends,
ICUJP exists because of an extraordinary peace advocate - the Rev. George F. Regas. In the days after 9/11, he called together Buddhist, Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Quaker and other faith leaders and activists to oppose the forces pressing for war and its devastating consequences.
Nineteen years later, the struggle for justice and peace goes on. So it's a fitting time for ICUJP to recognize those who, in the spirit of Rev. Regas, continue to oppose the tragic folly of endless war and violence at home and worldwide.
We're excited to announce the 2020 George F. Regas Courageous Peacemaker Award recipients:
For Justice:
- Black Lives Matter - Los Angeles
For Peace:
- The Most Rev. Desmond Tutu, Archbishop Emeritus of Cape Town, South Africa
- Jewish Voice for Peace
- World BEYOND War
We're also delighted to use this occasion to celebrate Rev. Regas' upcoming 90th birthday on Oct. 1! 🎂🎉🎈🎁🌟💕
You are warmly invited to a special online program honoring the award recipients and celebrating Rev. Regas' milestone. The event will include live music, video presentations, and appearances by Rev. Regas and other special guests. To RSVP, please visit the event registration page.
This event is free, but we need your generous donations to continue our work to end war and violence and promote peace and justice. Please visit our donation page, or just text a gift amount to 323.701.1467. Thank you!
We look forward to your joining us and celebrating the 2020 George F. Regas Courageous Peacemaker Award recipients and Rev. Regas!

A Virtual Conference
Sunday, June 7, 1:00-4:00 pm PDT
Free and open to all
Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace began planning a conference, One World: Ending Endless War and Creating a Just, Peaceful, Healthy Planet, several months ago. Little did we know how prophetic that title would become.With the entire world now engulfed in a pandemic, we’re seeing as never before how interdependent we all are – and how much we need to stand together to fight militarism, racism, poverty, and injustice. If you're as alarmed as ICUJP about our country’s march toward increased militarism and endless war, we invite you to stand with us in helping to stop this insane cycle and the horrific toll it exacts on people, societies, and our planet.
Please join us online for One World on Sunday, June 7! This virtual conference is a time for organizations and communities to join forces, confront the serious challenges facing us, and – most importantly - initiate solutions and actions to create a peaceful and prosperous world for all.
Keynote Speaker
- Rev. James Lawson, Pastor Emeritus, Holman United Methodist Church
Breakout Sessions
Peace with Justice
Amid the COVID 19 pandemic, the United States continues to suffer from another deadly and chronic disease: addiction to war. For generations, leaders of both political parties have pathologically pursued a failed foreign policy of warmaking and intervention. With 800 military bases around the world, since 9/11 the US has squandered over $6 TRILLION on wars, causing a catastrophic loss of life and destruction of societies. The Pentagon outspends the world’s seven next largest militaries combined. And the US sells more weapons - to 98 countries in the last five years - than any other nation. This session will examine America’s blind commitment to armed supremacy and military dominance. And it will explore how we can strengthen diplomatic and humanitarian alternatives to war and build a world of pluralism and peace.
Session 1, 1:45 pm:
- Jodie Evans, Cofounder and Director, CODEPINK
- Shakeel Syed, Regional Director, American Muslims for Palestine
Session 2, 2:45 pm:
- Salam Al-Marayati, President, Muslim Public Affairs Council (MPAC)
- Dr. Douglas Becker, Assistant Professor of International Relations, University of Southern California
Environmental Justice
Environmentalists have been warning that with a rise in the earth’s temperature, we will see increased climate disasters, devastation, rising seas, higher temperatures that result in more virulent strains of viruses and bacteria, destruction of crops, and resulting hunger, among other things. COVID-19 could well be a result of this climatic change.* ICUJP has long held that in addition to the above, wars continue to play a big role in the destruction of the earth. Yet many are working for change in policy and in personal actions. This session will highlight some of the ways that environmentalists are providing a way forward to restore us to a healthy planet. (*James Kingsland, Medical News Today, 4/3/20)
Session 1, 1:45 pm:
- Hop Hopkins, Director of Strategic Partnerships, Sierra Club
- Dr. John Cobb, Founder, Center for Process Studies; Process and Faith
Session 2, 2:45 pm:
- Lisa Smithline, Old Dog Documentaries, discussing the film ROLLBACKS: An Assault Against Life on Earth
Racial and Religious Justice
The COVID 19 pandemic has exposed a serious “pre-existing condition” in American society: racism and bigotry. Deep-seated racism - the legacy of slavery, Jim Crow, and segregation - has contributed to severe disparities in health care, housing, food, jobs, incarceration, and other features of American life. Today, black, brown and native Americans are suffering twice the death rate from COVID 19 compared to the white population. Meanwhile, long simmering anti-Semitism, Islamophobia and prejudice toward immigrants and refugees (fostered and condoned at the highest levels of government) are breeding White Nationalism. And, inflamed by President Trump, ugly anti-Asian prejudice has flared. This session will examine racism and religious bigotry in America and will offer an opportunity to discuss how progressives and people of faith can embrace movements of liberation to create a multiracial, diverse democracy.
Session 1, 1:45 pm:
- Hyepin Im, Founder and CEO, Faith and Community Empowerment
- Dr. Zaman Stanizai, Professor of Political Science, Cal State Dominguez Hills
Session 2, 2:45 pm:
- Rabbi Mel Gottlieb, PhD, President, Academy for Jewish Religion | CA
- Tahil Sharma, North American Coordinator, United Religions Initiative
Economic Justice
The COVID-19 pandemic has uncovered how the current economic system is not working. Based on a form of capitalism that has become exploitative and oppressive, it has slowly increased inequality and eroded the middle class, where the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. Some people are calling out for a jubilee of economics, based on a system of debt forgiveness across the board.** ICUJP has long held that U.S. prioritization of the military industrial complex has created a budget that is heavily invested in this sector with a disproportionately minuscule amount allotted to our social welfare and thus has produced the stark poverty we have today. This breakout session will look at how this has impacted the lower-income and working class and will offer solutions for a new way forward. (**Washington Post 3/21/20; Marketplace Morning Report 4/2/20)

Fidel Sanchez and CISPES colleagues report on the El Salvador elections
In El Salvador's February 3 presidential election, Nayib Bukele, the former mayor of San Salvador, beat the two ruling party candidates - Carlos Calleja of the conservative Arena Party and Hugo Martínez of the incumbent Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front. The victory sent a decisive message to the two parties, which have held power since El Salvador’s brutal civil war in the 1980s.
"Voters appeared to be willing to gamble on a relative newcomer to confront the country’s poverty and violence, shutting out the
right- and left-wing parties that have dominated Salvadoran politics for three decades" (New York Times).
ICUJP board member Fidel Sanchez and colleagues from CISPES (Committee in Solidarity with
the People of El Salvador) traveled to the country as monitors to ensure free and fair elections. Join us for a discussion on the election, its results and how it may impact the country going forward.

Prisoners Are Not Erased: Trauma-Informed Lawyering to Empower Incarcerated People
Peter Borenstein, Restorative Justice FundThis forum will be live streamed on the ICUJP Facebook page. Please visit https://facebook.com/ICUJP starting around 7:30 am.
Many people who are or have been in prison face huge injustices and challenges in navigating life on the outside. Peter Borenstein, a 2014 Loyola Law School graduate, started the Restorative Justice Fund (RJFund) to advocate for, design, and deploy innovative interventions on behalf of incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people at every level of the criminal justice system. He will discuss the many and complex issues they face, and RJFund's work to support them.
Following graduation, Peter consulted with the Los Angeles City Attorney to develop the Neighborhood Justice Program, a pre-charge diversion program for first-time, low-level, adult offenders, This work led to his founding of RJFund in 2015. After passing the bar, Peter began hosting a free legal clinic for newly released lifers at a transitional housing facility. The first three men he met reported a strikingly similar issue: During their incarceration, they had all been stolen from by people on the outside, mostly siblings, spouses, and former business partners. This fateful meeting led to RJFund's flagship program: The Lifer Legal Clinic provides legal representation to recover property (houses and cash) stolen from clients while they were in prison. To date, the clinic has recovered more than a million dollars worth of real property and liquid assets on behalf of clients.
RJFund's newest initiative supports clients who, while incarcerated, have learned to successfully litigate cases through decades of study in prison law libraries. Nevertheless, they're unable to leverage this expertise into good jobs due to bias and lack of finances. RJFund is partnering with Goodwill Industries to subsidize paralegal certification for these skilled jailhouse lawyers and help them gain work that utilizes their unique skills.

The End of the Death Penalty with Stephen Rohde
On March 13, Governor Gavin Newsom granted reprieves to all 737 inmates on California’s death row—the largest in America. This action blocks executions while he is in office. But the death penalty is still on the books and the battle for abolition goes on.
In announcing the moratorium, Newsom called the death penalty a failure. “It has provided no public safety benefit or value as a deterrent. It has wasted billions of taxpayer dollars. But most of all, the death penalty is absolute, irreversible and irreparable in the event of a human error.” Sen Kamala Harris praised Newsom’s decision, calling the death penalty “immortal, discriminatory, ineffective, and a gross misuse of taxpayer dollars.”Growing numbers in the U.S. agree. Twenty states and the District of Columbia have now banned the death penalty, recognizing what every other civilized nation in the world has realized.
Join ICUJP Chair Stephen Rohde, an outspoken death penalty opponent, for a comprehensive look at the fatal flaws in the capital punishment system and the growing abolition movement in California and across the country. Learn what you can do to end state killing.
Stephen Rohde is a constitutional scholar, lecturer, writer and political activist. He represented a death row inmate and was part of the clemency team for Stanley Tookie Williams. A founder and current Chair of Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace, Stephen has served on the Board of Directors of Death Penalty Focus for 20 years. He is the author of two books, American Words of Freedom: The Words That Define Our Nation and Freedom of Assembly, and coauthor of Foundations of Freedom: A Living History of Our Bill of Rights.

Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles, CAFriday Forum 2.22.19: Continuing the #MeToo Conversation
In our third forum focusing on the #MeToo and women's movements, ICUJP members Susan Stouffer and Marium Mohiuddin will facilitate a discussion on sexual harassment and sexual assault, where things stand with the movements, and how far we still need to go to create a world in which all people are treated with respect.
in October 2017, soon after widespread sexual misconduct allegations against film mogul Harvey Weinstein, the #MeToo hashtag went viral as countless women and men shared about their own experiences on social media. It was a disturbing wakeup call that demonstrated - almost two decades into the new millennium - the continuing prevalence of sexual assault and harassment, especially in the workplace.
Join us for a compelling conversation on how we can help move this forward.

Feb 2 panelists:
• Salam Al-Marayati, Muslim Public Affairs Council
• Michal Meulenberg, Fuller Seminary
• Estee Chandler, Jewish Voice for Peace and host/producer, Middle East in Focus, KPFKICUJP is sponsoring the screening of the new documentary Jihadists. According to the French producers, the film “goes deep into the heart of the Salafi movement, to reveal the inner workings of extremist Islam." A pair of Western filmmakers were granted unparalleled access to fundamentalist movements in Mali, Tunisia, Iraq and Afghanistan. The film exposes the exploitation of sharia law that became a propaganda tool for recruiting suicide bombers and soldiers for ISIS. Without experts contextualizing these events, the film, which inspired the Oscar-nominated feature Timbuktu, paints a stark portrait of everyday life under religious authoritarianism.
ICUJP, which was founded on the principle that “Religious Communities Must Stop Blessing War and Violence,” believes this film is important in helping to understand the roots of religious violence and the role the U.S. and other countries play in contributing to this dangerous phenomenon. The misuse of religion is not unique to Islam; it cuts across all religious beliefs. This film is about those who have hijacked a faith and are acting out in ways contrary to the fundamental teachings of that faith, but are driven by the delusion they are the true believers. The documentary cautions us all to understand the roots of extreme religious fundamentalism and how easy it is for people to be misled and coerced into violence, thereby betraying their genuine beliefs.
In Los Angeles, the film will premiere Thursday, Jan. 31, 7:30 pm at the Laemmle Royal and then will show Feb. 1-7 at the Laemmle Music Hall, Beverly Hills. Please join us at the Music Hall Friday, Feb. 1 and Saturday, Feb. 2 for the 7:20 pm screening, which will include a discussion with director François Margolin and interfaith experts. Tickets now available on the Laemmle Theaters website.

A bomb made by Lockheed Martin was used by the Saudi Air Force in an August 9 attack on a school bus that killed dozens of Yemeni children. According to CNN, the bomb was sold to the Saudis as part of a US State Department-sanctioned arms deal with Saudi Arabia. U.S.-made bombs have also been used by the Saudis in other aerial mass slaughters of Yemenis, such as the October 2016 attack on a funeral hall that killed 155 and left hundreds more wounded.
In addition, the U.S. helps to refuel Saudi combat aircraft and assists them with targeting decisions.
"I will tell you that we do help them plan what we call, kind of targeting," US Secretary of Defense James Mattis told CNN, proceeding to make a distinction that eludes most non-specialists in aerial combat. "We do not do dynamic targeting for them." -

Immanuel Presbyterian Church in Los Angeles, CAFriday Forum: Liza Diniakos of Freedom for Immigrants
On any given day, over 40,000 children and adults are languishing in immigrant jails and prisons. They don't have access to a court-appointed attorney, a free phone call, or a speedy trial. Many of them are subjected to medical neglect, sexual and physical assault, and other forms of human rights abuses. Two-thirds of people in U.S. immigration detention are in private prisons and the rest are locked up in county and city jails, all of which profit off their misery. The U.S. government and the private prison industry have been exporting immigration detention to governments across the globe. This is unacceptable.
This Friday, we are excited to welcome Liza Diniakis of Freedom for Immigrants. Freedom for Immigrants is dedicated to creating new models that treat people with dignity and keep them within their communities.

Dr. Arik Greenburg (PhD, President) is the founder of the Institute for Religious Tolerance, Peace & Justice and will speak on the topics of his personal religious journey, and how this led to his founding of the Institute — the crystallization of his life’s work—and will highlight several of their programs, including the Interfaith Solidarity Marches, the Interfaith Ambassador Program, and the newly launched "Our Muslim Neighbors" forum. He will also touch on the possible roles of religion in the 21st century and beyond, in an age of simultaneously increasing secularization and fundamentalism, as well as the need to reach out to our more conservative colleagues in what is the next frontier in interfaith work.
Dr. Greenberg is an ardent advocate for interfaith dialogue and collaboration as pathways to world peace. Having studied numerous world religions, he received his Ph.D. in Religious Studies from Claremont Graduate University, specializing in New Testament and Christian Origins, with emphasis on the diversity of belief within early Christianity. He currently serves on the Theology faculty of both Loyola Marymount University and Ezra University.

Episcopal Diocese of LA in Los Angeles, CAGod Behind Bars: An Interfaith Pilgrimage to Visit People in Immigration Detention
June 20 is World Refugee Day.
Globally we remember the strength, courage, and resilience of millions of refugees. Sadly, here in the United States, we are detaining thousands of people who should be protected and supported from the violence and trauma they have fled. They are refugees but we treat them as criminals, imprisoning them in deplorable conditions, separating parents from their children, and denying them the basic rights to which they are entitled.
ICUJP's third "Speak Truth to Power" Justice Luncheon continues with an important conversation on Tuesday, June 20, about how we as people of faith and of conscience need to stand in solidarity with these immigrants. Let's travel together to pray and to make a visible statement at the Adelanto Immigrant Detention Center, thus creating awareness about what is happening there and about our moral responsibility to speak truth to power, welcome the stranger, pursue release for the prisoner, and care for the widow and the orphan.

Dr. Lisseth Rojas-Flores of the School of Psychology at Fuller Theological Seminary will present on the effects of immigration enforcement on children. Little research has been done to systematically document the psychological distress and academic challenges that children experience when their parents are detained or deported. The Latino Families Project, which Dr. Rojas directs, seeks to examine how immigration enforcement activities affect the well-being of immigrant families and citizen children. The goals of the study are to identify practical responses for immigration policymakers and to inform the development and practice of effective family and child mental health interventions for young Americans. She will describe the experiences of children and families affected by parental detention and deportation, and the consequences that pose unique mental health challenges for children.
Jose Luis Hernandez, a young migrant from Honduras, will share his story of falling from the train (La Bestia) and losing his leg, arm and part of the other hand. Today he is president of an association of young people who have been mutilated along the migrant route.

>>> CLICK HERE TO GET INSTANT ACCESS TO Profits Infinity 2.0 NOW
What is Profits Infinity 2.0?
Profits Infinity 2.0 is a system that was carefully created to help people make money with binary options trading. Unlike the traditional method of following the options, reading about the different trades, and trying to stay on top of the industry manually – this is a completely automated system. It takes advantage of special Profits Infinity 2.0 Software, which can be used by anyone, no matter how much they know about trading, or how much they know about using a computer.
Like all programs that are intended to help you earn money through trading binary options, the makers of Profits Infinity 2.0 promis a lot. The question is, of course: can it really do everything that it is meant to? Firstly, take a look at the features that the system comes with:
- It is completely free to use, and you will never be asked for money for its use in the future.
- Profits Infinity 2.0 only works with completely legal networks and brokers.
- It will work all over the world.
You don't have to download the software, because it is based online. This also means that it will work through web browsers on any type of PC, smart phone or tablet with internet connection.
This system is guaranteed to increase your chances of making big profits by trading in binary options. You will be able to access your money easily, at any time after earnings are made. This seems like a great set of features, especially the part about not costing anything. However, keep reading to find out how many of these things are actually true.
How Does Profits Infinity 2.0 Work?
The Profits Infinity 2.0 Software must be accessed before you can start to use the system. This can occur once you have completed the free registration. We were able to complete this with ease, and it did not cost any money. So far, so good! Next, the system allowed us to invest some real money, by transferring it into our own private trading account. This money was not used to pay for anything in the Profits Infinity 2.0 program, and it was our money entirely.
The system uses special “signals”, which are basically pieces of information about what trades should be made. Using these signals, the software began to do all of the hard work for us. In fact, there was practically nothing else to do after this point, apart from sit back and watch. Of course, you do not have to actively watch, and you can just leave the software to trade your money for you.
In a small amount of time, it is possible to start seeing real profits from the small amount of money that you decide to invest in the beginning. It is actually amazing to think that the software was able to do everything by itself. Even though an Profits Infinity 2.0 download is not necessary, and there is no installation, the web-based software is extremely powerful, and there were no problems at all.

Is Profits Infinity 2.0 Scam?
One of the main reasons that many people miss out on good opportunities, is that they are worried about being scammed. There are other companies around who are pretending to be involved with this trustworthy binary trading software system, and they are giving Profits Infinity 2.0 a bad name. You have probably seen a lot of different “money making schemes” on the Internet, but this is not one of them. We had no trouble accessing our profits, so it is disturbing to learn that people are falling victim to scams from other groups.
Pros of Profits Infinity 2.0:
- Profits Infinity 2.0 Software is completely free of charge;
- Profits Infinity 2.0 Software is fully automated;

Cons of Profits Infinity 2.0:
- Must have PC, smartphone or tablet with internet connection.
- Must have about an hour a day to use it.
- While you can trade a lot in a day with 60 second binary options and potentially make a lot of money, you could also lose a lot. “Over-trading” is common among new traders who want to try to catch every market move, but these aren’t likely high probability trades to win. Good set-ups often take time to develop, and therefore by using 60 second binary options you may be distracted by mediocre or poor trade set-ups, missing the good ones.
Is Profits Infinity 2.0 Worth It?
If you have a little bit of time to spare, and you are willing to take a look at a new piece of software, which is quite easy to use – you might want to join up.

Profits Infinity Review In Depth
The Profits Infinity Binary Options System generates at least $2,000+ a day without putting in any hard work or investing more than 1 hour per day.Well, to be more exact you can spend 2 hours a day and double these pure profits, this is up to you. Profits Infinity is a money-making program currently being offered for free online.
How does the Profits Infinity software work? To use Profits Infinity , you begin by opening an account at a binary options broker and depositing $250 into your account. You then connect Profits Infinity software to your account by following the instructions inside Profits Infinity members area. Profits Infinity then makes trades for you.
Having used the Profits Infinity software for a few days, I’m really excited with the results. Sitting at your laptop and waiting for Profits Infinity to make trades is incredibly boring (it will only make a trade when the conditions are right, so most of the time it does nothing, but you have to leave your laptop running so that it can make a trade whenever it needs to, so I just leave Profits Infinity Software alone and see what it’s done at the end of the trading day.
I deposited the minimum of $250 into Profits Infinity recommended broker account to start off with. Today is my 5 day using it, and when I checked my account last night it was almost at $12,900+, so I’m hoping I go over that magic $19K mark by the end of Week!
After a couple more days of building up my Profits Infinity account I will change the settings in the software to make slightly larger binary trades. This means my risk will basically be the same, but my daily binary options profit will be more. All I know about binary options trading is that it involves selecting 1 of 2 options Put Or Call, and that a trade is obviously profitable when the outcome selected proves to be true. I don’t know anything about the factors the Profits Infinity software has to consider to make trades because no information is provided about this inside Profits Infinity System. I would have liked to have known about that kind of binary options strategies before investing my $250 to get the Profits Infinity software started, but since they weren’t willing to divulge that info I figured $200 was a small enough amount to risk to find out if Profits Infinity really works, which is why I went ahead. I’m obviously glad I did!
Here is what you’re going to get with Profits Infinitys Program: — 100% free access to Profits Infinity strategies, one of a kind trading system — Daily profits of at least $2,000+ — A very detailed Profits Infinity user guide that explains every aspect of the software and strategy if you want to learn more about it — Private VIP access to the best Profits Infinity broker in the industry — One on one coaching with Profits Infinity Team since he want to follow up with you and ensure you get a fast binary profits.

So, What does the Profits Infinity Software do?
Basically, the Profits Infinity software will notify you when to trade and what to trade. These binary options signals come from the same source the big folks at Wall Street Market use, so they are extremely very profitable. Now, I m not gonna lie, at first I was really skeptical about the whole Profits Infinity signal software, so I put it to the live action. I’m a father first, over marketing so I only had around 1 hour and 20 minutes to activate before I had to commit to my kids, but in that short space of an hour, I received 33 binary signals to trade.
From my 33 binary trade, I had a 95% success rate, which is Awesome! Admittedly I was only using small day trades to get started but later on I once I’ve gotten more confident I will increase my binary options investment portfolio per trade so my return ROI is higher.
The Profits Infinity software also has an automate trading mode which will trade for you, perfect for binary option trader like me who can’t sit at the computer all the time, as long as you leave your Profits Infinity software on, it will continue to trade for you.
What I didn’t like in Profits Infinity Software?
As I stated above, I had a 95% success rate over 33 trades whilst this is good, the sales page states that the Profits Infinity is 95% accurate. Regardless, I’m extremely happy with the results even though I only did a few short binary trades.

Profits Infinity The Bottom Line:
I was VERY skeptical to begin with Profits Infinity software, but after just an hour trading, I’m 95% successful and more importantly — I’m in huge profit!
Granted I’m not a binary millionaire, but as I stated now that I am confident in the Profits Infinity I will increase my trading investment to reap larger rewards. Even for a beginner such as me with limited computer skills and time, I was easily able to setup the Profits Infinity software (plug and play) get started and start trading.

The system uses special “signals”, which are basically pieces of information about what trades should be made. Using these signals, the software began to do all of the hard work for us. In fact, there was practically nothing else to do after this point, apart from sit back and watch. Of course, you do not have to actively watch, and you can just leave the software to trade your money for you.
In a small amount of time, it is possible to start seeing real profits from the small amount of money that you decide to invest in the beginning. It is actually amazing to think that the software was able to do everything by itself. Even though an Profits Infinity 2.0 download is not necessary, and there is no installation, the web-based software is extremely powerful, and there were no problems at all.

Profits Infinity Review In Depth
The Profits Infinity Binary Options System generates at least $2,000+ a day without putting in any hard work or investing more than 1 hour per day.Well, to be more exact you can spend 2 hours a day and double these pure profits, this is up to you. Profits Infinity is a money-making program currently being offered for free online.
How does the Profits Infinity software work? To use Profits Infinity , you begin by opening an account at a binary options broker and depositing $250 into your account. You then connect Profits Infinity software to your account by following the instructions inside Profits Infinity members area. Profits Infinity then makes trades for you.
Having used the Profits Infinity software for a few days, I’m really excited with the results. Sitting at your laptop and waiting for Profits Infinity to make trades is incredibly boring (it will only make a trade when the conditions are right, so most of the time it does nothing, but you have to leave your laptop running so that it can make a trade whenever it needs to, so I just leave Profits Infinity Software alone and see what it’s done at the end of the trading day.
I deposited the minimum of $250 into Profits Infinity recommended broker account to start off with. Today is my 5 day using it, and when I checked my account last night it was almost at $12,900+, so I’m hoping I go over that magic $19K mark by the end of Week!
After a couple more days of building up my Profits Infinity account I will change the settings in the software to make slightly larger binary trades. This means my risk will basically be the same, but my daily binary options profit will be more. All I know about binary options trading is that it involves selecting 1 of 2 options Put Or Call, and that a trade is obviously profitable when the outcome selected proves to be true. I don’t know anything about the factors the Profits Infinity software has to consider to make trades because no information is provided about this inside Profits Infinity System. I would have liked to have known about that kind of binary options strategies before investing my $250 to get the Profits Infinity software started, but since they weren’t willing to divulge that info I figured $200 was a small enough amount to risk to find out if Profits Infinity really works, which is why I went ahead. I’m obviously glad I did!
Here is what you’re going to get with Profits Infinitys Program: — 100% free access to Profits Infinity strategies, one of a kind trading system — Daily profits of at least $2,000+ — A very detailed Profits Infinity user guide that explains every aspect of the software and strategy if you want to learn more about it — Private VIP access to the best Profits Infinity broker in the industry — One on one coaching with Profits Infinity Team since he want to follow up with you and ensure you get a fast binary profits.

So, What does the Profits Infinity Software do?
Basically, the Profits Infinity software will notify you when to trade and what to trade. These binary options signals come from the same source the big folks at Wall Street Market use, so they are extremely very profitable. Now, I m not gonna lie, at first I was really skeptical about the whole Profits Infinity signal software, so I put it to the live action. I’m a father first, over marketing so I only had around 1 hour and 20 minutes to activate before I had to commit to my kids, but in that short space of an hour, I received 33 binary signals to trade.
From my 33 binary trade, I had a 95% success rate, which is Awesome! Admittedly I was only using small day trades to get started but later on I once I’ve gotten more confident I will increase my binary options investment portfolio per trade so my return ROI is higher.
The Profits Infinity software also has an automate trading mode which will trade for you, perfect for binary option trader like me who can’t sit at the computer all the time, as long as you leave your Profits Infinity software on, it will continue to trade for you.
What I didn’t like in Profits Infinity Software?
As I stated above, I had a 95% success rate over 33 trades whilst this is good, the sales page states that the Profits Infinity is 95% accurate. Regardless, I’m extremely happy with the results even though I only did a few short binary trades.

Profits Infinity The Bottom Line:
I was VERY skeptical to begin with Profits Infinity software, but after just an hour trading, I’m 95% successful and more importantly — I’m in huge profit!
Granted I’m not a binary millionaire, but as I stated now that I am confident in the Profits Infinity I will increase my trading investment to reap larger rewards. Even for a beginner such as me with limited computer skills and time, I was easily able to setup the Profits Infinity software (plug and play) get started and start trading.

Iman Cultural Center in Los Angeles, CA'Costs of War: Refugees and (Im)Migrants' Justice Luncheon
Wars, conflict and persecution have forced more people than at any other time to flee their homes and seek refuge and safety elsewhere. Globally, one in every 122 humans is now either a refugee, internally displaced or seeking asylum.
What impact does this have on the people and what responsibility do we have as U.S. citizens in communities of faith to stop our government from exacerbating the problem with more wars and violence, and welcome the strangers who seek refuge at our doors?
Come educate yourself:
- Angela Sanbrano, Chair of Central American Resource Center and President of the National Alliance of Latin American and Caribbean Communities, will speak on the situation of immigrants fleeing the violence in Central America.
- Kris Coombs, President of the International Refugee Assistance Project, part of the Immigration Clinic at USC’s Gould School of Law, will speak on the situation of refugees from Syria and Iraq.
- Sabine Freij, PhD candidate in World Politics and Methods at Claremont Graduate University, will share the challenges and joys that a local congregation, All Saints Church Pasadena, has experienced in opening its doors to a Syrian refugee family.
