Model. Both MD-ACLU and CAIR-MD are opposing it but they are seeking out
grassroots contacts to join this effort. The last Strong Cities CVE
training by Montgomery County included the daughter of a Philippines dictator
who murders those who he deems as being guilty of extremism. Visit https://www.eventbrite.com/e/2020-maryland-muslim-lobby-day-at-the-capital-tickets-83081175031.

51] – On Thurs., Feb. 20 from 7 to 10 PM, Johanna
Fernández presents "The Young Lords: A Radical History," hosted
by Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse, 1225 Cathedral St., Baltimore
21201. Against the backdrop of America’s escalating urban rebellions in
the 1960s, an unexpected cohort of New York radicals unleashed a series of
urban guerrilla actions against the city’s racist policies and contempt for the
poor. Their dramatic flair, uncompromising vision, and skillful ability to link
local problems to international crises riveted the media, alarmed New York’s
political class, and challenged nationwide perceptions of civil rights and
black power protest. The group called itself the Young Lords.
Fernández is assistant professor of history at Baruch College of
the City University of New York and editor of Writing on the Wall: Selected
Prison Writings of Mumia Abu-Jamal. Go to https://www.facebook.com/events/2498495847144465/.

their lives." Eugene Victor Debs
