working group of the Takoma Park Mobilization.
This
weekly series is meant to provide an organizing workspace with action-oriented

systems and resiliency that we want for our region; raising watershed and
environmental justice consciousness; and following youth climate leaders in
taking immediate action to reverse the dramatic disruption of our climate systems.

new economy will be driven by innovation, technology and alternative work
arrangements. These massive upheavals are changing who the future American
worker is and how America works. RSVP at

St. NW, Suite 600, WDC 20006, check out Russia’s New Nuclear Weapon Delivery
Systems, hosted by the Nuclear Threat Initiative with Jill Hruby, Ernest J.
Moniz, Sam Nunn, and Lynn Rusten, NTI. A light lunch will be served
following the event. See https://www.tfaforms.com/4771011.
In March 2018, Russian
President Vladimir Putin publicly announced the development of multiple new
nuclear weapon delivery systems. The announcement added a new, complex layer to
an already deteriorating nuclear relationship between the United States and
Russia. Since then, the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces (INF) Treaty has
collapsed, and the deadline to extend the New Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty
(New START) continues to draw closer. At such a critical juncture,
understanding and following the development of the new Russian nuclear weapon
delivery systems is essential for the future of arms control agreements and
strategic stability policy decisions.

50] – On Wed., Nov. 13
from 7 to 10 PM, hear Jordan Stein Avidly Reads Theory with Rahne Alexander and
Drew Daniel, hosted by Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse, 1225 Cathedral
St., Baltimore 21201. Go to http://redemmas.org/. The adverb “avidly” is defined as “with
great interest and enthusiasm.” Avidly―the online magazine founded in 2012 by
Sarah Blackwood & Sarah Mesle and supported by the Los Angeles Review of
Books―specializes in short-form critical essays devoted to the intersection of
expertise and passion.
As
an avowed “theory head,” Jordan Alexander Stein confronts a contradiction: that
the abstract, and often frustrating rigors of theory also produced a sense of
pride and identity for him and his friends: an idea of how to be and a way to
live. Although Stein explains what theory is, this is not an introduction or a
how-to, but rather Stein’s insights organized around five ways that theory
makes one feel―silly, stupid, sexy, seething and stuck.
Stein
teaches in the English department and the Comparative Literature program at
Fordham University. Rahne Alexander is an intermedia artist based in Baltimore.
Drew Daniel is an associate professor in the Department of English at Johns Hopkins,
and one half of the electronic duo Matmos. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/2409865845717654/.

from 8 to 10 PM, see The Havel Project, hosted by the Alliance for New
Music-Theatre at the Dupont Underground, 19 Dupont Circle NW, WDC 20036. This
is a Double bill of Václav Havel’s Protest and the group’s original production
-- Vaněk Unleashed, a tribute to Havel and the Velvet Revolution! "Protest"
exposes a society under a totalitarian regime that spies on its citizens and
the thin line between acquiescence and culpability, between comedy and creepy
terror. Vaněk Unleashed is a uniquely American response to the same, most
beloved central character of Vaněk. In this work the Alliance adds to the
tradition that includes playwrights Samuel Beckett and Tom Stoppard of paying
tribute to Havel by making Vaněk a universal character. The performance is
written and directed by Susan Galbraith. Look at https://www.facebook.com/events/510364376469067/?event_time_id=510364389802399.
