19] – On
Mon., Aug. 26 from noon to 2 PM, catch the Spotlight on Judicial Training:
Science in the Courts, hosted by Environmental Law Institute, 1730 M St.
NW, Suite 700, WDC 20036. Tickets are at www.eli.org. Legal
and policy issues related to recent scientific advances can be complex and
controversial. When these topics end up in court, judges must assess the
reliability and validity of the evidence and rule on their admissibility.
Judicial training programs must therefore be impartial, fact-based, and
pertinent for judges’ role and judicial norms. ELI and leading experts will
explore the multifaceted aspects of incorporating scientific topics and
concepts into judicial training. Panelists will dive into the evolution of
judicial training, innovative programs that advance the level of science
expertise including ELI’s Climate Judiciary Project and global Judicial
Education Program, and best practices to communicate environmental science to
judges. Visit https://bit.ly/2SRQ5gV. Look

20] – On Mon., Aug. 26
from 1 to 2 PM, vigil for slain journalist Christopher Allen, hosted
by Reporters Without Borders (RSF USA) at the Embassy of South Sudan,
1015 31st St. NW, #300, WDC 20007. On August 26, 2017,
British-American freelance journalist Christopher Allen was killed in the line
of duty reporting on the conflict in South Sudan. Just 26 years old,
Christopher had been embedded with opposition forces for two weeks when
fighting broke out between the government and opposition. Christopher was
killed during the fighting, though the circumstances surrounding his death
remain unclear. The South Sudanese government forces have refused to claim any
responsibility for Allen’s death despite mounting evidence that suggests he was
targeted for taking photographs of the battle.
Since
his killing, Christopher's parents have been tireless in their pursuit of
answers and justice for their son's death. Two years on, they continue to wait,
with governments and international institutions failing to provide serious
assistance or support. The parents of Christopher Allen, Reporters
Without Borders, Committee to Protect Journalists, PEN America, and Amnesty
International invite you to be outside the Embassy of South Sudan to mark this
painful anniversary, and to renew the call for answers and #JusticeForChris.

by Extinction Rebellion at 3006 Massachusetts Ave. NW, WDC
20008-3634. Gather in outrage, in grief and in despair outside the
Brazilian embassy. The Amazon is literally on fire and every inch that
continues to burn takes us further away from any hope of sustaining life on this
earth. The Amazon is fundamental to the life support systems of this planet and
for us as humans. To willfully destroy this natural treasure for the sake
of profits is an unconscionable crime. We cannot sit in silence while life on
Earth is destroyed. Call for world leaders to put pressure on President Jair
Bolsonaro to stop the fires and protect the lungs of the earth. This is not
just the future of Brazil he is holding in the balance - it’s all of our
future. See https://www.facebook.com/events/460379078142897/.

our report, "Fair Development, Race Equity, and Baltimore's Affordable
Housing Trust Fund" uplifting 3 core thresholds for the fund- that the
housing must be PERMANENTLY AFFORDABLE, COMMUNITY CONTROLLED, and ADVANCE RACE
EQUITY IN OUR CITY.
The
Fair Development Roundtable's Trust Fund work group compiled months of research
on best practices for AHTFs across the country, meetings with industry leaders
and experts, and put forth scoring criteria for any project applying for
funding. The people of Baltimore created this fund, fought to finance it, and
now the city MUST adopt the people's priorities for allocating these resources.
Demand that DHCD adopt the Fair Development Roundtable's priorities and scoring
criteria for the fund. The full report is available here: www.baltimorehousingroundtable.org/publications.
