– On Wed., July 31 from 9 to
11:45 AM, hear a discussion of Are Sanctions Working? It will take place
at Center for Strategic and International Studies, 1616 Rhode Island Ave. NW,
2nd Floor, WDC 20036. Go to https://www.csis.org/events/are-sanctions-working.
Two of the discussants will be Under Secretary of Treasury for Terrorism and
Financial Intelligence Sigal Mandelkar and Peter Flanagan, Covington &
Burling LLP. Whether more robust sanctions regimes have won any clear victories
is a matter of debate. In the last three years, U.S.-imposed unilateral
and secondary sanctions regimes have sought to influence North Korea, Russia,
Iran, and Venezuela. But countries that have been subject to sanctions
for years have found ways to adjust to U.S. moves. This conference will
review the efficacy of the new style of U.S. sanctions, understand what is
contributing to their success or failure, and gauge their future.
Speakers will also explore how sustained use of sanctions is impacting one
universally important sector: the energy sector.
31] – On Wed., July 31 from noon to 1 PM, catch the
Whistleblower Summit Panel on Dialysis, hosted by GenoMed, Inc. Go to https://www.whistleblowersummit.com/. GenoMed

–On
Wed., July 31 from 6 to 8 PM, get answers to Who Gets to Live Where? with “The
Lines Between Us” author Lawrence Lanahan, hosted by Impact Hub, 10 East
North Ave., Baltimore 21202. There will be a panel with Adriana Foster,
Matt Hill & Johnette Richardson (Bio's below) with an opportunity for a Q &
A & book signing. Stable, affordable housing is foundational to community
wealth building. It never comes easy. In “The Lines Between Us: Two Families
and a Quest to Cross Baltimore’s Racial Divide” Lanahan asks three Baltimoreans
how they are helping renters and owners to live where they choose, build wealth
in a community they care about, and fight outside pressure on affordable
housing. Hill is an attorney with Public Justice Center; Foster is
a leadership worker with United Workers. Richardson is the deputy director of
Neighborhood Housing Services Baltimore and the former executive director of
Belair Edison Neighborhoods, Inc. Lanahan was a producer at WYPR’s Maryland
Morning with Sheilah Kast from 2009 to 2013. See https://www.facebook.com/events/2396351530597145/.

– On
Wed., July 31 from 6 to 8 PM, check out What DC Do You Live In? This is a
Workshop about Gentrification, Displacement & Race, hosted by the YWCA
National Capital Area at Franklin D. Reeves Municipal Center, 2000 14th St. NW,
WDC 20009. Washington, D.C. is struggling to integrate new development and
residents into long standing communities and culture. These changes cause
disruption, displacement, and disdain. This real conversation about
gentrification and race will be focused on how displacement impacts schools,
communities, families, businesses and individuals, along with giving time for
dialogue and sharing. We want all voices heard and encourage you to bring
diverse thoughts to the table. The nearest Metro is U St.
/African-American Civil War Memorial/Cardozo Station Center. Look at https://www.facebook.com/events/2831682043525264/.

– On
Wed., July 31 from 6:30 to 9 PM, there is a Physical Sanctuary Readiness
Workshop, hosted by Congregation Action Network and Cedar Lane
Unitarian Universalist Church, 9601 Cedar Lane, Bethesda 20814. Enjoy a
light supper and social time. REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED FOR ATTENDANCE.
Registrants must be affiliated with a faith community or group doing work in
immigration justice.
The
calls for physical sanctuary in the DC Metro area are increasing as the
administration's immoral policies put more and more people at risk of detention
and deportation. Threats of mass deportations continue this weekend despite
the 2-week hiatus. A call from ICE for thousands more detention beds across the
nation, including within 50 miles of local ICE field offices underlines the
administration's aggressive detention-to-deportation program. Our immigrant
siblings are under siege across the region and the Nation. The
Congregation Action Network and Cedar Lane Unitarian Universalist Church - the
sanctuary home of Rosa Gutierrez Lopez - are offering a workshop for regional
faith communities that have already declared their intention to provide
physical sanctuary, those still contemplating it, and those congregations that
would like to support sanctuary congregations. We'll go in depth to answer your
questions, what's involved, how to get organized, and offer various models for
hosting an immigrant or immigrant family in protective residence when they
otherwise are facing immediate deportation. See https://www.facebook.com/events/670408493431042/.

is looking forward to seeing what they say and where they stand on the issues.

42] – On Thurs., Aug. 1 from 6 to 7:30 PM, check out
How will America's hometowns get news from the Capitol? This is hosted
by the National Press Club Journalism Institute. Tickets are $5 to
$10. What’s next for regional reporting: How to produce meaningful
journalism in an era of shrinking newsroom budgets, diminished public trust and
fake news. The regional reporters who cover the nation’s capital for
audiences outside the Beltway today face a host of challenges: Shrinking
newsroom budgets have closed or decimated many D.C. bureaus, leaving those
reporters who remain under major pressure to fill the gaps. The nation’s
federal offices are more opaque than ever, making it difficult for journalists
to hold them accountable on behalf of the public. And the public itself has
become increasingly skeptical of–and sometimes hostile toward–the news media.
How can regional reporting adapt to, and once again thrive in, this
environment?
Hear
a conversation among four distinguished panelists with distinct perspectives on
the topic: Veteran regional reporter Jerry Zremski will discuss how his job has
changed after three decades in Washington and his biggest challenges as he
seeks to keep his readers informed about what their representatives are doing
in D.C; the Pew Research Center’s Michael Barthel will share his research about
the local news landscape and public trust in journalism; and former U.S. Reps.
Ryan Costello, R-Pa., and Jim Moran, D-Va., will talk about their experiences
being covered by local and regional reporters and how the changing face of the
news media impacted the way their constituents engaged with them. The
program will be held in the First Amendment Lounge, and registration is
required. The cost is $5 for members of the National Press Club and $10 for
non-members. Please register at https://www.facebook.com/events/2485314135029811/.
