From Lean Left VT

New Hampshire

Do you know what a town’s “supervisor of the checklist” does? This nonpartisan official approves every voter registration form and decides who is qualified.  With the right-wing infiltrating every nook and cranny of the NH government, it is critical we make sure that elections are fair and voters are protected. In March, New Hampshire citizens will elect their supervisors of the checklist at the Town Meeting as well as a slew of other important local officials like school board members.

• The New Hampshire Dems Voter Protection team is recruiting voting hotline volunteers and poll observers to make sure these local elections are fair and honest. This will be an important training and testing ground for the midterm election in November. Training for the voter hotline is every Tuesday (6:00-7:00 pm) and Thursday (12:00-1:00 pm) throughout February. Sign up here for either the hotline or poll observing or both! The NH Dems will get in touch with more information and details. 
• Build connections with voters in New Hampshire and join the Chris Pappas team’s deep-canvassing effort. You’ll engage citizens in real conversations about issues they care about. This is preparation for hitting the ground running and hopefully knocking on doors, in the next few months. Sign up here for training here.

Film: The Ants & the Grasshopper
presented with the Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival and with generous sponsorship from Oak Meadow

Anita Chitaya has a gift; she can help bring abundant food from dead soil, she can make men fight for gender equality, and she can end child hunger in her village. Now, to save her home from extreme weather, she faces her greatest challenge: persuading Americans that climate change is real. Traveling from Malawi to California to the White House, she meets climate skeptics and despairing farmers. Her journey takes her across all the divisions shaping the US, from the rural-urban divide, to schisms of race, class and gender, to the thinking that allows Americans to believe we live on a different planet from everyone else. It will take all her skill and experience to persuade us that we’re all in this together.
This documentary, ten years in the making, weaves together the most urgent themes of our times: climate change, gender and racial inequality, the gaps between the rich and the poor, and the ideas that groups around the world have generated in order to save the planet.
Directed by Raj Patel and Zak Piper
Narrated by Anita Chitaya with Peter Mazunda

Brattleboro Democracy Forum: "The Despotic Branch: The Undemocratic Nature of the Supreme Court" with Tim Lipp, Nick Biddle, and Friends
Tuesday, February 8th, 2022, Online. 6:30pm.
To Join Zoom Meeting click on this link on February 8th: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/89903359871?pwd=ZVdPQXJDUmlLblFIMTUwemxjUWpZdz09
Watch the presentation and take part in the discussion.
Tim and Nick say:
The Supreme Court’s initial assertion in 1803 of the authority to nullify congressional law caused Thomas Jefferson to characterize the court as the Despotic Branch. Jimmy Carter recently concluded that the Supreme Court’s powers rendered the United States into an oligarchy. Contrary to our historic myths the Supreme Court is not a democratic institution. Throughout our history the high court, with a few notable exceptions, has been the bulwark of protecting property rights over human rights, of undermining democracy. The current court is on track to be the most egregiously anti-democratic court in the nation’s history. Tim Kipp and Nick Biddle will detail the substance of the high court’s despotic powers and how it has reached today’s all-time low.

Outside Windham County: Rockingham Library
Interpreting Historical Landscapes in the Upper Connecticut River Valley
hosted by the Rockingham Historic Preservation Commission and the Rockingham Free Public Library, and made possible through a grant from the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation and the National Park Service
Wednesday, February 16th, 2022, Online. 7pm.
To receive an invitation to join this live ZOOM presentation, contact [email protected] or call the library at 802-463-4270. Free and open to the public. 
Archaeologist Gail Golec will discuss historic resources and archaeological sites in the Upper Connecticut River Valley over Rockingham Library ZOOM. 
Often these resources and sites are looked upon as isolated finds, rather than part of a wider community with a shared history. Learning to view geographical landscapes, natural resources and historical events as interconnected creates a more accurate understanding of our culture and times and better informs us how to preserve and interpret these resources.
Gail Golec has been a professional archaeologist for over 20 years, working on site primarily in New Hampshire and Vermont. Born and raised in the area, Golec has undertaken extensive research projects focusing on the Contact Period/Early Colonial Settlement, 18th and 19th century cemeteries and documenting the lives of Indigenous and African American community members of the Greater Falls and Monadnock Region. Golec teaches classes on these topics, gives community lectures and writes and produces a podcast about historic cemeteries called "The Secret Life of Death".
