In-Person SIGNAL Training
Meeting · Hosted by Indivisible Nevada County
Time
Sunday, February 22
1 – 2pm PST
Join us for an in-person, interactive training on using Signal for secure, real-time communication and community coordination.
We’ll walk through installing Signal, setting up groups, sharing alerts, and basic privacy best practices — then practice together live. You’ll learn how encrypted messaging works (in plain language), why secure communication matters for community organizing, and how we’re building a Neighborhood ICE Watch network to stay connected locally and respond quickly when neighbors need support.
Bring your smartphone — you’ll leave fully set up and connected.
No tech experience required. Just show up ready to learn and help keep our community informed and safe.

Join with local peace activists for our monthly vigil for non-violence and anti-militarism. Banners, singing. End the wars, don’t start new ones. Meet at the Main (Schneider) Gate at 3PM to banner for the afternoon commute. Honor Airman Aaron Bushnell on the second anniversary of his self-immolation protesting the Gaza genocide. Dinner at a Palestinian restaurant nearby afterwards.
Dear VFP members and chapters,
On February 25, 2026, we mark two years since U.S. Air Force Airman Aaron Bushnell self-immolated in an act of protest meant to awaken the conscience of this country to the human cost of war. In his final statement, Aaron said:

“My name is Aaron Bushnell, and I am an active duty member of the United States Air Force. I will no longer be complicit in genocide. I’m about to engage in an extreme act of protest but, compared to what people have been experiencing in Palestine at the hands of their colonizers, it’s not extreme at all. This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.”
To honor Aaron’s life and sacrifice, we invite every chapter and local peace community to organize a vigil or memorial event either on Wednesday, Feb. 25 or the weekend prior (Feb. 21–22).
We ask that you record a short video clip of your event — including a reading of Aaron’s final words if possible — and send it ASAP to Joy Metzler at jmetbell3@proton.me so we can compile a national tribute for social media.

If you are able, we encourage chapters to incorporate red poppies as a visual symbol of remembrance and solidarity.
The red poppy is the Palestinian national flower, a symbol of the martyrs whose lives have been lost and which carries deep meaning for all people who remember the human cost of war.
In your messaging, we encourage you to uplift this essential truth: Aaron chose his act in solidarity with Palestine. The Palestinian people enduring violence and loss do not have that choice. Honoring Aaron means honoring the lives and dignity of those he stood for, and renewing our commitment to peace at home and peace abroad, and to the justice that makes lasting peace possible.
Thank you for helping build a collective remembrance worthy of Aaron’s courage. We look forward to seeing your actions and standing together in solidarity.
In peace and solidarity,
Veterans For Peace National Office

The Palestinian Reality Post Gaza “Ceasefire”:
A Time for Faithful Solidarity and Action
The Church and Society Committee of Nevada City United Methodist Church invites our church community
and those of other churches and faith groups, along with others in the community working on all issues of justice and
peace to join in this panel presentation and discussion on Wednesday evening February 25 at 7 PM.
More details will follow as plans develop, but people can know that the questions
to be addressed will include:
* What do Methodists and other faith groups have to say about Palestine, Israel, and Genocide?
* What are the actions various faith communities are doing and could be doing to bring justice and peace there?
* What does Palestine have to do with Climate Change, Racism, Immigrant justice, and other places of injustice?
* How do BDS (boycott, divestment, sanctions) in general and the Chevron Boycott in particular connect the issues?
