On Fri., June 28 from 8:30 AM to noon, get over to Journalism under attack:
Protect yourself from threats, hosted by the National Press Club
Journalism Institute. To help journalists manage the heightened dangers they
face in newsrooms, in the field and online, the National Press Club Journalism
Institute and the National Press Foundation are co-hosting a safety workshop.
The event is free, but advance tickets are required. The program will have
three sessions.
Sandy
Johnson, president of the National Press Foundation, will moderate a
presentation by representatives of Orbis Operations on “advanced situational
awareness training” to help reporters and newsrooms recognize early warning
signs of danger and what to do in an active threat situation. The second
session will cover how to defuse threatening situations when they arise and how
to take pre-emptive action. The panel, moderated by John Donnelly, senior
writer at CQ Roll Call and chair of the Club's Press Freedom Team, will include
Danny Spriggs, vice president of global security for The Associated Press;
Margaux Ewen, executive director of the James W. Foley Legacy Foundation; and
Cmdr. Guillermo Rivera, head of special operations for the Washington
metropolitan police department. Julie Moos, executive director of the
National Press Club Journalism Institute, will facilitate a discussion on
online threats and harassment, strategies for defending yourself, and building
a supportive cyber community that’ll have your back. Presenters include Lauren
Culbertson, public policy manager at Twitter and Viktorya Vilk, Manager of
Special Projects at PEN America. See https://www.facebook.com/events/429120511213742/.

Laureate Nadia Murad, hosted by the United States Institute of Peace, 2301
Constitution Ave. NW, WDC 20037. Tickets are at www.usip.org. Five years after ISIS’ genocidal campaign
in Iraq, Yazidis and other religious minorities are struggling to recover from
the trauma of occupation and the heinous crimes committed by the terrorist
group. Sinjar, a district in the Nineveh province of Iraq, remains in ruins
while many of its residents are still displaced and trying to cope with the
aftermath of mass killing, rape, abduction, and enslavement. Murad, a leading
advocate for survivors of genocide and sexual violence, will discuss her work
to help Iraq recover, the plight of the Yazidi people, and stabilization and
resilience in the country.
While
the international community has provided much needed assistance, key challenges
to post-conflict stabilization in Sinjar’s towns and villages persist,
complicating efforts to rebuild communities, seek accountability and justice,
foster local reconciliation, and help Yazidis and other displaced communities
return home safely. Murad launched an initiative to address some of these
challenges and help rebuild communities. In support of this initiative, the
government of Taiwan, a member of the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, has
recently announced it will contribute to stabilization and humanitarian
assistance efforts. RSVP at https://www.usip.org/events/conversation-nobel-peace-prize-laureate-nadia-murad.

77] – On Sat., June
29 from 7 to 9 PM, hear about Sylvia
Pankhurst, a Suffragette in America at Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse,
1225 Cathedral St., Baltimore 21201. In 1911, leading English
suffragette Sylvia Pankhurst visited America. Unlike other suffragette leaders,
who spent their time in America among the social elite, Pankhurst wasted no time
getting right to the heart of America’s social problems. She visited striking
laundry workers in New York and female prisoners in Philadelphia and Chicago,
and she grappled firsthand with shocking racism in Nashville.
This
book gathers Pankhurst’s writings from the year-long visit, in which she
reveals her shock at the darkness hidden in American life, and draws parallels
to her experiences of imprisonment and misogyny in her own country. Never
before published, these writings mark an important stage in the development of
the suffragette's thought, which she brought back to Britain to inform the
burgeoning suffrage campaign there. Pankhurst was an English campaigner for the
Suffragette movement, a prominent left communist and, later, an activist in the
cause of anti-fascism.
Katherine
Connelly is a writer, historian and an expert on Sylvia Pankhurst. She is the
author of the biography “Sylvia Pankhurst: Suffragette, Socialist and Scourge
of Empire” (Pluto, 2013) and editor of “A Suffragette in America: Reflections
on Prisoners, Pickets and Political Change” (Pluto, 2019). Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/853940158292712/.

– The Trump
Administration is again beating the war drums. Most recently, the target
is Iran. Should the Trump administration initiate an act of war against
Iran, consider joining us. It is a violation of U.S. law for the Trump
Administration to attack a country that has not attacked us, as only Congress
can declare war. The Trump administration is nevertheless beating the war drums
for war against Iran and Venezuela. Should a war criminal, John Bolton,
convince Trump to attack either of these countries, such a military strike
would demand an immediate and unequivocal response from us to show that we will
not tolerate his abuse of power.
Let's mobilize to show that we the
people will not tolerate another military adventure, which would be bound
to have profound negative consequences. If a military strike against Iran
or Venezuela takes place, then meet at 33rd and N.
Charles St., Baltimore 21218. If the attack is before 2 PM local
time, then the event will begin at 5 PM, local time. If the attack
occurs after 5 PM local time, then the event will begin at 5 PM,
local time, the following day. Contact Max at 410-323-1607 or mobuszewski2001

historic window of opportunity. With momentum already building in favor
of Zero, a major show of support from people around the world could tip the

“One
is called to live nonviolently, even if the change one works for seems
impossible. It may or may not be possible to turn the US around through
nonviolent revolution. But one thing favors such an attempt: the total
inability of violence to change anything for the better" - Daniel Berrigan
