28] – EPI Action [contact@epiaction.org] on Tues., July 30
at 1 PM is asking the question Inflation's Round Trip: What Have We Learned? Do
economists need a new set of models to explain what happened? How did people
experience the rise and subsequent decline of inflation in recent years? What
are the right policy lessons to learn and how is the Biden-Harris Administration
applying them in the near and long term?
Jared Bernstein, Chair of the Council of Economic Advisers, will discuss
these questions and more in a keynote address at the EPI Action offices.

Vice President Kamala Harris has become the presumptive presidential nominee for the Democratic Party. This has brought increased scrutiny on her immigration record and stances. Critics have called her President Joe Biden’s “border czar” and blamed her for failing to secure the border. Join the American Immigration Council for a conversation with a panel of experts analyzing Harris’ record on immigration policy work and what this may mean for the future of immigration policy.

32] – Dr. Alice Rothchild will be speaking on Tues., July 30 at 6:30 PM ET at The Jerusalem Fund, 2425 Virginia Ave. NW, WDC 20037 about the Absence of Palestine in Children's Literature and Why This Matters. Much of US children’s literature either ignores, erases, or distorts Palestinian lived reality in the US and in Palestine/Israel, creating a significant absence of understanding and literacy about these topics for K-12 students and their parents. When teachers and librarians do teach about the narratives and history of Palestine, they often face severe pushback, censure, harassment and job loss, creating further pressure to avoid the topic altogether. If we are committed to an anti-racist, anti-colonial education and to growing empathy and knowledge in our young people about Palestinians in particular and Arabs in general, it is critical, particularly during these times of intense stereotyping and dis-information, to develop strategies to move forward. I will elaborate on these realities, review a toolkit for teachers and librarians falsely accused of antisemitism, and discuss my Palestine-focused middle grade and young adult novels.

33] – Check out a webinar: Halt Holtec - the Nuclear Mafia on Tues., July 30 from 7 to 8 PM ET. This webinar examines the current status of nuclear waste disposal in the United States, with a focus on Massachusetts in the Northeast and New Mexico in the Southwest. Register at https://us06web.zoom.us/signin#/login
As the moribund nuclear industry is frantically marketing itself as a clean alternative to fossil fuels and making an aggressive grab for the subsidies being allocated to renewable energy, it is urgent that we remind Congress and the public that the problem of nuclear waste disposal has never been solved. Even as old nuclear power stations are decommissioned, their highly radioactive spent fuel remains, and must be monitored and contained in perpetuity. This webinar examines the current status of nuclear waste disposal in the United States, with a focus on Massachusetts in the Northeast and New Mexico in the Southwest. Nuclear power is not clean, green, renewable, or safe. Stop Forever Waste!
