Baltimore from November 11 through November 14 at the Baltimore Waterfront Marriott Hotel.

20] – On Mon., Nov. 11 from noon to 1:30 PM, check out the
Global Review of Plastics Pollution: Managing Marine Litter, hosted by the
Environmental Law Institute, 1730 M St. NW, Suite 700, WDC 20036. Tickets are
at www.eli.org. Every minute, one garbage truck of plastic
is dumped into the ocean–that’s more than 8 million metric tons per year. While
progress is being made to manage marine litter via laws governing the
production and use of land-based materials that make their way into our oceans,
challenges persist including supervising waste disposal into the marine
environment and establishing overarching marine litter legislation. ELI and
leading experts will explore recent U.S. legislation to target marine litter,
the economic impacts of marine litter, and examples of successful international
marine pollution agreements and regulatory collaborations. Visit https://bit.ly/2Jlp9Tq and https://www.facebook.com/events/575401473204055/.

of Maryland School of Public Health at the University of Maryland, College
Park 20742. Join UMD's chapter of 17 for Peace and Justice as they host
the film screening. Through the riveting stories of five rural communities,
RIGHT TO HARM exposes the devastating public health impact factory farming has
on many disadvantaged citizens throughout the United States. Filmed across the
country, the documentary chronicles the failures of state agencies to regulate
industrial animal agriculture. Known formally as Concentrated Animal Feeding
Operations – or CAFOs – these facilities produce millions of gallons of
untreated waste that destroys the quality of life for nearby neighbors. Fed up
with the lack of regulation, these disenfranchised citizens band together to
demand justice from their legislators. 17 for Peace and Justice is a
student led organization at the University of Maryland, College park that works
to promote environmental justice on campus and within the community. Panelist
will include animal rights activists, environmental justice advocates, the film
makers and farmers. Light refreshments will be served from 4:30 until 5:30 PM
and the film screening will start promptly at 5:45 PM. See https://www.facebook.com/events/403236793879293/.

Adrián Hernández Güereca, killed by border patrol agent Jesus Mesa JR in 2010.
This case will set the precedent in the determination of whether or not non-US
citizens murdered by US security agents outside of the US are entitled to any
form of legal redress. This includes the case of José Antonio Elena Rodríguez
killed by US border patrol agent Lonnie Swartz in 2012. Be at a reception with
the Güereca and Rodríguez families, followed by a panel where they will share
their stories and quest for justice. Look at https://www.facebook.com/events/424625251801078/?notif_t=event_calendar_create¬if_id=1573070830602400.
