35] – The Daily Record
and The Marc Steiner Show are once again co-hosting the Annapolis Summit on
Wed., Jan,, 9, which is Opening Day of the Maryland State Legislature. It will
run from 7:30 to 9:30 AM starting with a Continental Breakfast & Networking.
Then there will be interviews with Gov. Larry Hogan, Sen. Mike Miller & Delegate
Michael Busch. The summit takes place at Governor Calvert House, 58 State
Circle, Annapolis. See https://thedailyrecord.com/annapolis-summit/.
36] – On
Wed., Jan. 9 at 10:45 AM, check out The Ambassadors Series: Opportunities and
Challenges for U.S.-South Korean Relations, hosted by the Hudson Institute, 1201 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, Suite 400, WDC 20004, with Cho Yoon-je, the
Republic of Korea’s Ambassador to the United States. The conversation will be
moderated by Walter Russell Mead, the Ravenel B. Curry III Distinguished Fellow in Strategy and Statesmanship at
Hudson. Forged in blood during the Korean War, the Korea-U.S. Alliance has
grown stronger over the last decade. The free trade agreement between the two
countries has markedly increased trade and investment since it came into effect
in 2012 and was successfully upgraded in 2018. Diplomacy between the two
nations is also underlined by shared national security concerns, including the
goal of complete denuclearization and permanent peace on the Korean Peninsula.

37] – Call on Governor
Hogan to join the Maryland General Assembly in passing Maryland’s top climate
bill: Maryland Clean Energy Jobs Act. The Clean Energy Jobs Act Rally: MD
is ALL IN for 100% Renewable Energy is on Wed., Jan. 9 from 10:30 to 11:30 AM. The
first day of Maryland legislative session, near Lawyer's Mall, in the grassy
area on the southeast side of the House of Delegates, College Ave, Annapolis.
RSVP to dlipinski@mdlcv.org.
With 84 pledged supporters in the House and 30 in the Senate, the bill is
poised to pass with a "supermajority." The Clean Energy Jobs Act is
Maryland’s answer to combating climate change. It would commit us to 50%
renewable power by 2030 and create a just and equitable pathway to 100% clean,
renewable electricity by 2040. It would also invest millions of dollars in
workforce development and make sure to keep electricity bills low.
On Wed., Jan. 9 from 11 AM
to noon, gather outside the House of Delegates, 6 Bladen St., Annapolis
21401 to tell your representatives in Annapolis that you support the Clean
Energy Jobs Act! In addition to spurring economic development and creating jobs
in a 21st Century clean energy economy, it will increase local Maryland solar
to a robust 14.5% of all electricity used in the state by 2030. Your voice
needs to be heard to make sure we pass the Clean Energy Jobs Act this year!

DENIED" at Red Emma's. Bookstore Coffeehouse, 1225 Cathedral St.,
Baltimore 21201. Call (443) 602 7611 or go to https://www.redemmas.org/. The 2013 Lac-Mégantic
crude oil train disaster killed 47 people and destroyed an entire Quebec town:
this new book uncovers new details about what happened, how it happened, who
was responsible, and why it can happen again. Crude-by-rail traffic is an
urgent issue at the intersection of climate change, worker’s rights, and public
safety and it's been a big topic of debate in Baltimore for years. Earlier this
year, the City Council passed a bill banning new crude oil
terminals in the city, but crude oil trains continue to pose a danger to
the city, particularly as we see the repeated failures of our infrastructure
such as the most recent 26th St collapse.

Climate Change Report presented by Dr. Fred Lipschultz, hosted by Woman's
National Democratic Club, 1526 New Hampshire Ave. NW, WDC 20036. Tickets are at
events.r20.constantcontact.com. At 12:15 PM, lunch will be served. The average
global temperature is much higher and rising more rapidly than “anything modern
civilization has experienced,” according to a new US government report that
delivers a dire warning about our future. Thousands more could die, food will
be scarcer, and the US economy could lose hundreds of billions of dollars — or,
in the worst-case scenario, more than 10% of its GDP — by the end of the
century. Released on Black Friday in November, the Fourth National Climate
Assessment was put together by the US Global Change Research Program (USGCRP),
a team of 13 federal agencies. The report breaks down the possible impact of
climate change by region and looks at the effects that climate change will have
on public health, the economy and the infrastructure. Here in the Northeast, we
can expect increases in rainfall intensity, rising temperatures and more premature
deaths, hospital admissions, and emergency department visits. Dr. Fred
Lipschultz, Senior Scientist at USGCRP and Regional Coordinator of the Third
and Fourth National Climate Assessments, will describe the key takeaways of the
study and the actions already taken by Northeastern towns, cities, counties,
and states in response to the fast changing climate.
The
PRICE is $25 for members; and $30 for non-members. It is $15 for Young
Dems, and $10 just for the lecture. See https://www.facebook.com/events/226291018269102/.

of Muslim Rights in the US War on Terror, hosted by Defending Rights &
Dissent at the Public Welfare Foundation Inc., 1200 U St. NW, WDC
20009. From drones, to proxy wars, to CIA Black Sites, to Communication
Management Units, Muslims domestically in the US and around the globe have
continued to be targeted under the guise of the War on Terror seventeen years
after its onset. The panel will be moderated by Kristin Garrity Sekerci and
will begin with a keynote from Dr. Maha Hilal (Justice for Muslims Collective),
and followed by a panel featuring Darakshan Raja (Justice for Muslims
Collective), Aliya Hussain (Center for Constitutional Rights), and Aya Saed
(Center for Constitutional Rights). The panel will speak to the impacts
of the War on Terror on Muslims, both in its current manifestations under the
Trump administration and its systemic nature, while addressing the role of
institutionalized Islamophobia as part and parcel of the post 9/11 national
security apparatus. Artwork painted by Guantanamo prisoners will also be
