47] – Public Citizen [action@citizen.org] wants you to be ready on Thurs., Feb. 16 from 4 to 6 PM ET. Trump could be indicted at any time for attempting to subvert the 2020 Election in Georgia and is also facing potential indictments by the Department of Justice and in New York.

There’s also an important election coming up next week on Tues., Feb. 21 in Wisconsin. Voters are going to the polls in the nonpartisan primary for State Supreme Court. Help boost voter turnout in Wisconsin and make sure everyone knows about this crucial election — and why it’s so important, even if they usually don’t vote in races like this. After the update on potential Trump indictments, call Black voters in Milwaukee with Andrea Miller, Founding Board Member of the Center for Common Ground.

50] – On Thurs., Feb. 16 at 4:30 PM ET, get with Inside Biden's Ukraine Strategy With Ambassador Victoria Nuland, hosted by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. As the war in Ukraine nears its one-year anniversary, the coming months could prove decisive in a conflict that has become a war of attrition. The possibility of any negotiation in the near future appears dim as rumors spread of massive Russian and Ukrainian offensives. Kyiv and its Western partners are scrambling to bolster the Ukrainian military with tanks, air defense, and other capabilities. How does the Biden administration view the effectiveness and sustainability of its overall strategy? And how can Ukrainian and Western leaders persuade Putin that he is wrong to pin his hopes on simply outlasting his opponents? Join Aaron David Miller as he sits down in conversation with Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland to discuss these and other issues.

53] – On Thurs., Feb. 16 at 6:30 PM ET, check out How We Have Come to Live with Nuclear Risks and Threats: Post-Fukushima Reflections on Transnational Nuclear History, sponsored by Stanford University. The speakers are Kyoto Sato, Stanford University; Bernadette Bensaude-Vincent, Pantheon-Sorbonne University; & Soraya Boudia, Universite Paris Cite. The talk will feature the 2022 volume, Living in a Nuclear World: From Fukushima to Hiroshima (Routledge), and its three co-editors, Bensaude-Vincent, Boudia & Sato. The book provides unique post-Fukushima reflections on nuclear history and politics from a long-term and transnational perspective, asking how nuclear technology has shaped the world we live in and how we have come to live with it and the peril it presents. A product of sustained, multi-year and interdisciplinary intellectual exchange among scholars on nuclear technology from different disciplinary (e.g., history, anthropology, STS, philosophy, nuclear sciences) and national (e.g., US, Japan, France) backgrounds, the volume tackles the global nuclear history backwards: how Fukushima shed new light on past efforts to spread and control nuclear technology.
