Members of Progressive Maryland will meet at the Capitol South Metro Station, before doing the Legislative Visit from 11 AM to noon to the office of Rep. Andy Harris, 1533 Longworth House Office Building, WDC 20515. It would be devastating if the Graham-Cassidy Bill were to pass or if CHIP was defunded or if healthcare was cut in the 2018 budget.

There are too many shootings, too many muggings, too many tragic losses of life. Leaders across the city have put forward plans for how to tackle the violence, from education programs to re-training the police department to trying to get illegal hand guns off the streets to investing in public health programs. What policies will actually work? Are there creative approaches that have not yet been tried? How can the nonprofit sector work with government? Nate will share some of his thinking based on his time at the White House, his recent research, and his experience as a candidate for the state house; and then open it up for conversation.

36] – On Thurs., Sept. 28 at 7:30 PM at Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse, 30 W. North Ave., Baltimore 21201, catch a book talk on THE ANTI-FASCIST HANDBOOK WITH MARK BRAY. As long as there has been fascism, there has been anti-fascism — also known as “antifa.” Born out of resistance to Mussolini and Hitler in Europe during the 1920s and ’30s, the antifa movement has suddenly burst into the headlines amidst opposition to the Trump administration and white supremacy. They could be seen in news reports, clad all in black with balaclavas covering their faces, fighting police at the presidential inauguration, and on California college campuses protesting right-wing speakers.
Historian and former Occupy Wall Street organizer Mark Bray provides a one-of-a-kind look inside the movement, including a detailed survey of its history from its origins to the present day — the first transnational history of postwar anti-fascism in English. Based on interviews with anti-fascists from around the world, the book details the tactics of the movement and the philosophy behind it, offering insight into the growing but little understood resistance fighting racism. Call 443-602-7585. RSVP at http://www.redemmas.org.
