Welcome to Dispatch #36! This week let’s connect the dots and talk about how the recent US interventions around the world are all part of the same project to maintain global control - from Greenland to Iran to Venezuela, we’ll break it all down in this week’s Deep Dive. Plus - how Iraq War veterans used guerilla street theater to protest the Iraq War, a brief history of False Flags, the art of clowning being used as a tool for healing, and more!
PS - this will be our last full-length Dispatch before moving to our new format. Next issue will be a shorter “Action & Resources” Dispatch, and we’ll be back with another original full length Dispatch at the end of next month. We’re making these changes to give us more bandwidth to provide quality education to you all!

Easy Actions to Take
⏱~3min | (Worldwide) Help defend Puerto Rico and fight back against Project Esencia
Why: Project Esencia is a multi-million dollar development project in Puerto Rico that push out local families, deplete water supplies, threaten native wildlife, and destroy critical ecosystems in order to build mansions, gated communities, and private schools for the elite while increasing cost of living for local communities.

⏱~3min | (US Only) Get ICE Out Of Our Airports. Fund TSA!
Why: Following the murders of Keith Porter, Renée Good, Alex Pretti, and many others, Color Of Change supporters mobilized to call elected officials in Congress by the thousands. Now we must join together to tell them that ICE must leave, and TSA must be funded. The Senate actually passed a bill to fund the TSA, but Trump refused to sign it. We must keep the pressure on. Organized by: Color of Change
⏱~3min | (UK Only) Demand NHS cut ties with Palantir in London
Why: West and North London ICB is the largest ICB in England serving 4.5 million people, and NHS has just agreed to a contract with Palantir to support their Federated Data Platform. Palantir is instrumental in the construction of mass surveillance across the world and is actively facilitating military operations in the Global South. Organized by: Healthworkers 4 A Free Palestine
