10.09.26 Fri. Forum - Sonali Kolhatkar: Breaking ICE
"Breaking ICE: Community Defense against State Terror and MAGA Fascism" (Seven Stories Press) is a gripping, on-the-ground account of the growing movement against state violence, featuring interviews with those on the frontlines of the fight for immigrant justice.

In Breaking ICE, award-winning journalist Sonali Kolhatkar (Rising Up With Sonali)presents her conversations with over a dozen movement organizers, lawyers, artists, labor leaders, and scholars on the frontlines of the fight. Through their courageous stories, Kolhatkar documents the impact of ICE violence, workplace raids, mass surveillance, and intimidation tactics, and how communities from Maine to California are organizing for a better world.

09.25.26 Fri. Forum - Making Sense of the Ballot Propositions
President Trump passed H.R. 1 last year, cutting $1 Trillion from healthcare across the nation. Cleverly timed to hit after the midterms, these cuts threaten the health and wellbeing of millions of Californians who don't see it coming. Prop 40 is the only solution to backfill the $100B shortfall facing California in January. Join us to cut through the misinformation about the measure and join our fight to pass this crucial measure in November.

We will discuss this proposition and others on the November ballot - join us!

Looking Back, Looking Forward: 25 years of ICUJP

For 25 years, Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace has mobilized, advocated, and educated faith and secular communities under the motto that Religious Communities Must Stop Blessing War and Violence.

Over our quarter-century, our biggest asset has been the wonderful people who have worked diligently for upholding the values of justice for all and malice toward none - those that congregated in the basement of a church, or passed out flyers in the street, or raised their voices against hate, sometimes at personal risk. In one word, our biggest asset has been: YOU.

Please join us as we celebrate you and your support of our work together, revisit our past, and envision what the future holds.

25 Years of ICUJP
Sunday, September 27th, 2:00 - 4:00 pm
All Saints Church, Pasadena, CA

As Interfaith Communities United for Justice and Peace celebrates 25 years of action and advocacy for a kinder and more just world, we want to remember those that were on this journey from the start - the people that came together just after the horrors of September 11th, 2001, and saw that the faith and activist communities needed to speak with one voice, and say that Religious Communities Must Stop Blessing War and Violence.

JOIN US AS WE HONOR:

- Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur on the Occupied Palestinian Territories

- Stephen Rohde, constitutional lawyer, lecturer, writer and political activist.

- Chris Ponnet, Director St. Camillus Center for Spiritual Care/LAC+USC Medical Center (posthumously)

- Bishop John Taylor, former Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Los Angeles

- Rick Steves, travel writer, activist, and host of Rick Steves' Europe on PBS

- Pasadena For Palestine, a grassroots organization that advocates for Palestinian rights and raises awareness about the humanitarian crisis in Palestine.

We hope that you will join us on Sunday, September 27th, from 2:00 - 4:00 pm at All Saints Episcopal Church in Pasadena, as we look back to our founding, look forward to the task ahead, and honor courageous peacemakers who keep our struggle for justice and peace alive.
