41] –
On Wed., Jan. 30 at 9:30 AM, be a
part of A Realistic Path for Progress on Iran which will be discussed at the
Center for a New American Security, 1152 15th St. NW, Suite 950, WDC
20005. Hear from Eric Brewer, CNAS; Nicholas Heras, CNAS; Elizabeth
Rosenberg, CNAS; and Ariane Tabatabai, RAND Corporation. Go to https://www.cnas.org/events/a-realistic-path-for-progress-on-iranCenter
for a New American Security. Call (202) 457-9400 or email info@cnas.org.
42] – On Wed., Jan. 30
from 10 AM to 4 PM, hear about the Geopolitical Implications of a New Era on
the Korean Peninsula at the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars,
1300 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, WDC 20004. Tickets are at www.wilsoncenter.org. The Trump
administration has gone through a remarkable shift in its approach to North
Korea, culminating in an initial embrace of summit diplomacy. That shift,
however, may have opened a Pandora’s Box that will have profound implications
not just for the future of the Korean Peninsula, but for Japan, China, and
Russia as well. What is certain is that engagement with Pyongyang has already
impacted East Asia’s geopolitics and will continue to do so moving forward.
This conference will address the broader geopolitical consequences of
diplomatic success and failure of diplomacy with Pyongyang, and their impact on
alliance relationships and the future of U.S. power in the region. See https://www.wilsoncenter.org/event/geopolitical-implications-new-era-the-korean-peninsula

43] – On Wed., Jan. 30 from noon to 2 PM, get
over to this talk, hosted by the American Council of Trustees and
Alumni and Students for Free Expression American University at the
National Press Club, 529 14th St. NW, 13th Floor, WDC 20004. ACTA is launching
a groundbreaking initiative equipping #highered leaders to address runaway
college spending and exploding student debt. Join us with top #HigherEd leaders
for the public launch of HowCollegesSpendMoney.com at the National Press
Club. Lunch will be provided. There will be several speakers
including Tom McMillen, CEO, LEAD1 Athletic Directors Association; Regent of
the University of Maryland (2007–2015); former U.S. Congressman (D-Maryland,
1987–1993).
In
recent decades, college costs have surged exponentially; and student debt has
climbed to an all-time high of over $1.5 trillion. The fiscal model for private
and public higher education is unsustainable, yet many institutions operate in
a business-as-usual mode, ramping up tuition and administrative spending year
after year. Can higher ed leaders stem the tide?
Launching
on Jan. 30, ACTA’s HowCollegesSpendMoney.com is an innovative public portal
that provides easy access to information maintained in the U.S. Department of Education's
Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System (IPEDS). Higher education
leaders attest that there is nothing like it, and that it has the potential to
be a game-changer in higher education finance. Helping them gain transparent
access to data on college spending is paramount in confronting the national
crisis. Contact Doug Sprei at dsprei@goacta.org
or call ACTA at (202) 467-6787. RSVP at https://www.facebook.com/events/2318187814927824/.

46] – On Wed., Jan. 30
from 4 to 7:30 PM, there is a Baltimore Clean Air Act Rally/Public Hearing,
hosted by Clean Air Baltimore Coalition at Baltimore City Hall, 100
Holliday St., Baltimore 21202. Tell the Baltimore City Council that we stand
for clean air, and we will fight for the passage of the Baltimore Clean Air
Act! This law will make the Wheelabrator Baltimore trash incinerator - the
city's largest air polluter - and Curtis Bay Energy - the nation's largest
medical waste incinerator install real-time monitoring equipment for almost two
dozen pollutants, share that pollution data in real-time on a public website,
install up-to-date pollution controls and abide by stricter air standards than
Maryland state law. If these corporations don't want to pay to protect
our air, they'll have to shut down! We can replace incinerators like
Wheelabrator with cheaper, cleaner recycling and composting facilities - that
means more jobs and more revenue for Baltimore City! Rally until 5 PM,
and then attend the Public Hearing. See https://www.facebook.com/events/2253362094987797/.
47] – On Wed., Jan. 30 from 5 to 7:30 PM, SOAR
for Educators Anti-Human Trafficking Pilot Training, hosted by President

help pilot a training for professionals working in middle and high schools to

students.
President
Lincoln’s Cottage is proud to host this 1-hour session, conducted by
the Office of Trafficking in Persons (OTIP) and the National Human Trafficking
Training and Technical Assistance Center (NHTTAC). The training hopes to
connect educators with staff developing training programs at NHTTAC. A debrief
and discussion will follow the training—an opportunity for you and your fellow
educators to share insights on challenges in working with youth impacted by
human trafficking and their families. Your input will be used to develop future
NHTTAC and OTIP trainings and resources. Refreshments will be provided.
The
trainer is Savannah Sanders, the founder of SexTraffickingPrevention.org and
author of Sex Trafficking Prevention: A Trauma-Informed Approach for Parents
and Professionals. Ms. Sanders has expertise in human trafficking, child abuse
prevention, trauma-informed care, harm reduction, and intergenerational abuse
