Windham County Action Network (WeCAN)

"Let the globe, if nothing else, say this is true, 
that even as we grieved, we grew, 
that even as we hurt, we hoped, 
that even as we tired, we tried,
that we'll forever be tied together, victorious.
Not because we will never again know defeat,
but because we will never again sow division."
Amanda Gorman
National Youth Poet Laureate and the youngest inaugural poet in U.S. history

 We hope that everyone enjoyed President Biden and Vice President Harris' Inauguration Week...and enjoyed a bit of Bernie mitten memeing as well! We have more than a few new events inside this week's Weekly Email Update, so please take a moment and scroll on through to the end of this email.

HAPPENING THIS WEEK, MONDAY, JANUARY 25th, 2021-SUNDAY, JANUARY 31st, 2021

World Says No to War on Yemen: Car Caravan in Brattleboro
Monday, January 25th, 2021, beginning at First Congregational Church (880 Rte. 9, West Brattleboro, VT). 12pm-1pm. (Note: This is NOT Centre Congregational Church). Use THIS LINK to register. 
Brattleboro, VT will join anti-war, Yemeni, and humanitarian activists all over the world when they come together for a Global Day of Action: World Says NO TO WAR ON YEMEN this coming Monday, January 25th, 2021. Senators Bernie Sanders and Patrick Leahy have exercised leadership to stop US participation in the illegal war in Yemen, which the United Nations has declared the worst humanitarian crisis on the planet. The local gathering will underscore the importance of this issue to Vermont residents and encourage our legislators to continue their endeavors in this area.
President Joe Biden, prior to his election, agreed to discontinue American support for the Saudi Arabian war on Yemen; we urge him to follow through on this promise.
Over 260 organizations from more than 17 countries are committed to actions Monday, representing the largest group of organizations joining together to protest war since the Iraq anti-war protests. Brattleboro will join them with a caravan, planned to raise local awareness of this tragedy.

World Says No to War on Yemen: Global Online Rally
Monday, January 25th, 2021, Online. 2pm-3:30pm.
For more information please contact Isaac Evans-Frantz at [email protected]. To register, please click HERE.
The shockingly under-reported war in Yemen has led to the death of 250,000 people and created the worst humanitarian crisis anywhere in the world according to the UN. They estimate that more than 24 million people in the country, which was already one of the poorest on the planet prior to the war, will need humanitarian assistance in 2021.
The war is led by Saudi Arabia, with the involvement of the UAE, but it is backed by some key Western powers – the US, the UK, France, Spain, Italy and Canada. In particular, the US and the UK have maintained unquestioning support for Saudi Arabia since the war began and are both participants in the war.
This protest is timed to take place just days after the inauguration of Joe Biden, who has promised to end US support for the war. This is our one central aim – to hold him to his word and force fellow governments to follow suit.
Over 230 organizations from 17 countries have signed up for a call to action against the war on Yemen so far, making this the biggest international anti-war co-ordination since the campaign against the Iraq war. Unfortunately, due to the circumstances in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic many of the planned physical protests have had to be postponed but our global movement will not be silenced.
For the World Says No to War on Yemen Global Online Rally we have brought together a group of prominent voices from across the world to speak out against this utterly brutal war and call for its immediate end.

Amongst those joining us at 2pm EST on Monday, 25th January will be…
Ahmed Al-Babati (British-Yemeni Soldier)
Dr. Shireen Aladeimi
Apsana Begum MP
Jeremy Corbyn MP
Danny Glover (Actor)
Daniele Obono (French National Assembly Member)
Yanis Varoufakis (MeRA25 Secretary-General)
Dr. Cornel West and more to be announced soon.

courtesy of Out in the Open and Brattleboro Solidarity, amongst others
Tuesday was a big day at the Selectboard meeting, where some big steps towards taking action around the Key Findings and Recommendations of the Brattleboro Community Safety Review  took place.* As a community we have long haul work to do towards these recommendations and we are so grateful to be working with a group of Brattleboro Town and area residents involved in diverse and collective movements for liberation and social justice.
In a continuing effort to make the content and information for the Brattleboro Community Safety Review Report more accessible to folks, take a listen to the the audio recording of the Key Findings and Recommendations document, a 22 page excerpt of the 223page Final Report. 

 Listen on our website or wherever you listen to podcasts by searching Out in the Open Radio Hour: weareoutintheopen.org/radio-hour

 Follow the audio along with Key Findings and Recommendations Document.  And through these images, produced to also support visual with accessibility.

 Take Action: add your name to the over 250 individuals and 37 businesses and organizations, calling upon the Brattleboro Selectboard to adopt the recommendations of the Final Report on the Community Safety Review Process in full and to direct Town staff to begin implementing them as written."

Thank you so much to our community members HB Lozito, Jo Lum, Eli Coughlin-Galbraith, and one anonymous community member for taking the time and energy to record this important document!
*At the 1/19/21 Selectboard meeting, the Selectboard voted 3-2 to not increase the BPD training budget from the already existing budget. (The BPD had a %40 increase in the training budget requested). 
Additionally, at the 1/19/21 Selectboard Meeting the Selecboard passed the motion 5-0, that "The SB gratefully accepts the Community Safety Report and directs staff to provide additional info regarding the recommendations in that report to help the SB make decision in Town actions to move forward in this work."
