19] – Cody at Defending Rights & Dissent [info@rightsanddissent.org] wants you to join in on Wed., Aug. 18 at 3 PM ET. Michael German is a fellow with the Brennan Center’s Liberty & National Security Program and a 16-year veteran of federal law enforcement. Since leaving the FBI, German’s work has focused on law enforcement and intelligence oversight and reform. His most recent book Disrupt, Discredit and Divide: How the New FBI Damages Democracy analyzes how the national security state invokes the War on Terror to justify increased government secrecy and reliance on debunked radicalization theory. German has testified before Congress on multiple occasions about counterterrorism, white supremacy in law enforcement, and protection of civil liberties in national security contexts. Join DRAD for the sixth event in its #LunchtimeLive series “New Name, Same Flaws: Biden's Doomed Plan to Fight White Supremacy” focused on the “new” Biden counterterrorism strategy and what it means for dissent in America.

21] –Join activists around the country at a virtual phonebank to urge voters in key states to demand their senators’ support of the For the People Act! The August deadline for 2022 is fast approaching!

Every day we’re getting closer to a very real deadline to take action to pass the For the People Act (S.1): If the Senate does not overcome the filibuster and pass S. 1 by late August, states will not have enough time to implement the legislation’s regulations before the 2022 midterm elections!
