18] – Barbara Larcom would appreciate your attendance at a Nicaragua Webinar: Light & Legacy: Ben Linder's Work Continues on Sun., May 22 at 3 PM ET. This is a 75-minute webinar. Register on Zoom at https://us06web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Z8DDhd2kQOulB_D3P-RZBQ. A recent delegation will share observations of Ben Linder’s continuing legacy in the communities of El Cuá-San José de Bocay, and nationwide advances. 40 years ago, as a young juggler, unicyclist and electrical engineer, Ben Linder came from the U.S. to Nicaragua to install rural hydroelectric systems in villages in the war zones with no electricity. On April 28, 1987, Ben and two Nicaraguan colleagues, Sergio Hernández and Pablo Rosales, were ambushed and murdered by the Contra.
19] – Progressive Democrats of America [info@pdamerica.org] will hold a Town Hall on Sun., May 22 at 4 PM ET with super progressive Congressional candidate Angelica Duenas. This PDA-Endorsed Candidate Angelica Duenas is running against centrist incumbent Tony Cardenas in CA-29. She almost upset Cardenas in 2020 and has a great shot at triumphing in '22! This Town Hall, following the past week's election results in Pennsylvania and Oregon, will make the point that the progressive movement has renewed momentum.
Discuss the short term—next week's primaries in Texas and Georgia, and Bernie's re-introduction of his Medicare for All Bill in the U.S. Senate—and the long-term prospects for the movement. Help elect Jessica Cisneros (TX-28) and Vincent Fort (GA-13) and transform the Democratic Party so that it truly serves the people and the planet.

26] – Maryland Public Television <outreach @ mpt. org> is hosting Standing against Racism - Programming in May. On Mon., May 23 at 9 PM see MARCHING FORWARD, which shares the story of two high school band directors – one black, one white – whose love of music and dedication to their students inspired an atypical collaboration in the segregated South. This documentary tells the story of how their friendship and professional cooperation resulted in the experience of a lifetime for two Orlando-area bands at the 1964 New York World’s Fair. Interviews with former students recount this chapter in Orlando’s history – both the moments of unity forged in the community, as well as the challenges and inequities of the Jim Crow-era South.
