#BrunswickME - #EarthDay with #BrunswickPeaceWorks

Tuesday, April 22, 2025
2:00 PM to 4:00 PM

Brunswick Town Mall
191-195 Maine Street
Brunswick, ME, 04011

"Children of all ages are invited to build a symbolic white kite in commemoration of #RefaatAlareer, #Palestinian poet whose poem '#IfIMustDie' inspired our event.

"In his poem he suggests that a child might look up into the sky and see white kites flying there and imagine them to be Angels coming to bring Love back to the Earth.

"And so we connect our passion for #Palestinian lives with the sorrowful need of our Earth for heightened and deepened love from each of us.

"We will close the gathering with a parade, carrying our symbolic kites along the sidewalks of downtown Brunswick.

"We hope to see you there!"

So, years ago, there was a #RagingGrannies chapter in #PortandMaine. I would often see them performing by themselves, or at #PeaceActionMaine / #MaineVeteransForPeace events. Not sure if that's my cuppa tea (I'm more of a grumpy gram/py), but I appreciated their fighting spirit!

Healthcare- yet again

by Nancy Galland, #MaineRagingGrannies, 2013
tune: A Bicycle Built for Two

"Healthcare, healthcare,
What am I gonna do?
I’m half crazy
Trying to pay for you. I can’t afford my Blue Cross,
And Single Payer cuts costs,
So let’s defeat
With feet on the street
Profiteering from healthcare blues.

"Congress, Congress
Give us your answer true,
Are you crazy?
What are you gonna do?
If we can’t afford to pay bills,
And wait until we’re too ill.
We’ll lose our work
Without help or perks—
There’s better care in the zoo!"

Those used to be great online communities for#MainePagans, #PeaceActionMaine, and other affiliate groups.

So, some of the other topics Judith let me tackle in the pages of #MaineWellBeing were #HopiProphecy (which included a background section about #PeabodyCoal -- because, well, it's all tied together); #TheWhiteBuffaloCalfWoman (I interviewed Chief #ArvolLookingHorse for that one; #PeaceActionMaine events (one of which I had organized -- Peace Park Portland -- where folks played music, spoke truth, and where we fed the unhoused); and also a feature story about communities in New England where people were living closer to the earth and more sustainably (one of those being a friend's homestead in Vermont, which had a main cabin/house, and a number of individual cabins for folks to live in. My friend was a longtime Clamshell Alliance / anti-nuclear activist, and was the one who had a bicycle and generator, which we had to use to watch TV or listen to records). Anyhow, I am eternally grateful for Judith for allowing me to research subjects that I was passionate about, and bringing awareness of #HumanRights, #ClimateJustice, #Sustainability and other topics to a new audience! (I may have to reprint those articles online on my WordPress blog. A lot of those topics are still relevant today -- especially in these times...).

So, I just found out that #PortlandMaine lost a voice for peace and kindness earlier this year. Judith Southworth was the editor and publisher of #MaineWellBeing -- a holistic newspaper that also focused on Peace Action events and other peace and justice issues. I worked with Judith for seven years, and when Judith was getting ready to sell the paper, I had considered buying it, but I saw the writing on the wall for printed newspapers, and knew I would have to hustle to get and keep advertisers. My passions were with laying out the newspaper, taking photographs and creating illustrations, and most of all, writing! Judith gave me a chance to work on feature stories, which led me to meet with leaders of the #WabanakiNation and tell their side of the story -- something I received accolades for, including an honorary membership in the Passamaquoddy Nation from Chief Francis.

I ended up going back to college instead of buying the newspaper, but Judith found other buyers (who unfortunately only kept it going for another year). It was the end of an era, but not our friendship. Every once in a while, I would run into Judith -- at the grocery store, or at Peace Action events, where she would talk with me about her job helping elderly refugees in Maine, which she loved. She will be missed. Rest In Power, Judith!

"We normally hold a vigil/standout every Wednesday from noon-12:30 PM at the corner of Harlow and Central Streets (across from where the old and eventually renovated Bangor City Hall stands and near Peirce Park) to support a ceasefire, an end to the killing in Gaza and of all Palestinians, and a stop to all US weapons shipments to the Israeli government. The vigil/standout will take place as usual on September 4 and again September 18, 25, etc. JOIN US!

"However, on September 11, 2024, 12 noon-12:30 PM (maybe later), we will stand outside the headquarters of the Penobscot County Democratic Party at 207 Exchange Street (about 1 1/2 blocks from our usual location) and hope to have a conversation with #MaineDemocrats in or coming to the office about the current policy of failure to achieve a ceasefire and the continued US government support for the Israeli military and settler attacks against Palestinians, especially in Gaza but also on the West Bank. (Anyone who wishes to stand in our usual location of Harlow and Center Streets is welcome to do so.) Bring signs, or we will have some available also. We hope some media will also be present."

#Maine's Largest City Becomes First on US East Coast to Back #IsraelDivestment

"'We urge everyone to join this effort in their own communities,' said the #MaineCoalitionForPalestine. 'Our tax money should not be spent killing women and children in #Palestine."

by Jake Johnson
Sep 05, 2024

"Lawmakers in #PortlandMaine voted unanimously on Wednesday to #divest public funds from 'all entities complicit" in #Israel's assault on the #GazaStrip, making the city the first on the U.S. East Coast to take such a step.

"Sponsored by the Maine Coalition for Palestine and the Maine chapter of #JewishVoiceForPeace (#JVP), the newly approved resolution contains a 'divestment list' of more than 85 companies, from U.S.-based #Chevron, #LockheedMartin, and #Boeing to Israel-based #Elbit Systems. The list also includes public entities such as #IsraelBonds and state-owned #IsraelAerospaceIndustries.

"'The city of Portland recognizes the ongoing humanitarian crisis in #Gaza and seeks to avoid economically supporting this crisis through the city's financial investments,' the resolution states. 'The city council urges that the city manager divest the city of Portland from all entities complicit in the current and ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza and occupation of Palestine, including, without limitation, all entities on the divestment list when it is feasible and carries no financial penalty to the city.'

"Additionally, the resolution 'urges the city manager to not make any future directly held general fund investment in any entities complicit in the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and occupation of Palestine.'"

#Protesters gather outside #Brunswick air show, voicing ethical concerns over headlining act

Advocates with #MaineVoicesForPalestinianRights said the air show glamorizes #war and misleads youth.

BRUNSWICK, #Maine — "The Great State of #MaineAirShow is marketed as a weekend-long event of planes swooping through the sky with incredible aerial performances to leave the community in awe.

"However, groups standing outside the show on Saturday had a different message to send about its intentions.

"The Maine Voices for #Palestinian Rights organized a protest to encourage people not to attend the show over questions regarding the #ethics of its headlining act: the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.

"'We object this use of our tax dollars and we object to warplanes as entertainment,' #LisaSavage with Maine Voices for Palestinian Rights said.

"The group compared the planes on display to those being flown over #Gaza, for very different purposes.

"'If you were a child in Gaza, you would be hearing that noise constantly and it wouldn't be for entertainment, you would be waiting to see if a bomb was going to drop on your family's home,' Savage said.

"The group objects to the U.S. government's involvement in the war in #Israel and says the air show glamorizes the U.S. military and its power.

[...]

"[Marketing Director] Mary Breen said she's amazed by the positive effect the show has, specifically on younger crowds.

"'It's amazing to see the kids' reactions, whether they're checking out the planes on the ground or watching the planes flying,' Breen said.

"Yet, that inspiration is another point advocates said makes the show deceptive.

"'It's actively designed to be fun, almost video game-esque for these kids and make them think this is something that would be an exciting career for them instead of something that's potentially very dangerous for them and is guaranteed to be very dangerous for people across the world,' #RosemaryCorkins with Maine Voices for Palestinian Rights said.

"The group objects to the U.S. government's involvement in the war in #Israel and says the air show glamorizes the U.S. military and its power.

[...]

"[Marketing Director] Mary Breen said she's amazed by the positive effect the show has, specifically on younger crowds.

"'It's amazing to see the kids' reactions, whether they're checking out the planes on the ground or watching the planes flying,' Breen said.

"Yet, that inspiration is another point advocates said makes the show deceptive.

"'It's actively designed to be fun, almost video game-esque for these kids and make them think this is something that would be an exciting career for them instead of something that's potentially very dangerous for them and is guaranteed to be very dangerous for people across the world,' #RosemaryCorkins with Maine Voices for Palestinian Rights said.

BRUNSWICK, #Maine — "The Great State of #MaineAirShow is marketed as a weekend-long event of planes swooping through the sky with incredible aerial performances to leave the community in awe.

"However, groups standing outside the show on Saturday had a different message to send about its intentions.

"The Maine Voices for #Palestinian Rights organized a protest to encourage people not to attend the show over questions regarding the #ethics of its headlining act: the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds.

"'We object this use of our tax dollars and we object to warplanes as entertainment,' #LisaSavage with Maine Voices for Palestinian Rights said.

Several #protesters arrested at #BathIronWorks ship christening event

Story by NEWS CENTER Maine Staff
July 27, 2024

"Several people were arrested during a protest Saturday morning at an event hosted by Bath Iron Works.

"At about 8:30 a.m., a group of around 75 pro-#Palestinian protesters gathered outside Bath Iron Works to protest during its christening of the new Arleigh Burke-class guided-missile destroyer #USSPatrickGallagher, the Bath Police Department said in a news release.

"Police said the group of protesters consisted of members from various groups, including the #MaineVoicesForPalestinianRights and the #MaineVeteransForPeace chapter. Police added that many of these individuals have protested at past Bath Iron Works events before.

"At about 8 a.m., just before the gathering, a man associated with the protest group was reportedly seen 'dumping a red-colored liquid' on the sidewalk and front step area in front of #BIW's main building at 700 Washington St. before driving away.

"The man, identified as 76-year-old #MarkRoman of Solon, was later found and summonsed for Class D criminal mischief and cited for littering, according to the release.

"Police said Roman's wife, 67-year-old #LisaSavage, was one of the protesters arrested for criminal trespass.

"Then, around 9:45 a.m., a group of protesters split off from the larger group that had been peacefully protesting on the sidewalk and made their way onto Bath Iron Works property at the intersection of King and Washington streets.

"'These protestors sat down in the road, linking arms, and refused to clear from the public way or move off BIW property despite requests and warnings by officers to do so,' the release stated.

"Police said all nine individuals involved were taken into custody without incident. Of the nine people, two were charged with Class E obstructing a public way and seven were charged with Class E criminal trespass.

"The following individuals were arrested, according to police:

#RobertShetterly, 77, of Brooksville, was charged with criminal trespass
#BradleyConway, 32, of Manchester, New Hampshire, was charged with obstructing a public way
#RussellWray, 69, of Hancock, was charged with criminal trespass
#AbigailFuller, 64, of Portland, was charged with obstructing a public way
#LisaSavage, 67, of Solon, was charged with criminal trespass
#DudleyHendrick, 82, of Deer Isle, was charged with criminal trespass
#JamilaLevasseur, 69, of Waldo, was charged with criminal trespass
#ConstanceJenkins, 76, of Belfast, was charged with criminal trespass
#MarySullivan, 70, of Brunswick, was charged with criminal trespass

"Roman, Fuller, and Savage were also arrested and charged in a protest that disrupted traffic in Portland earlier this year.

"Police said all charged individuals were assigned a court date of Sept. 3 at the West Bath Unified Criminal Court.

"'They were booked at Bath Police Department and bailed on personal recognizance by a bail commissioner,' the release said."
