– On Wed., April 29 from
10 to 11 AM, hear about Covid-19 & Human Rights in Latin America with
Michelle Bachelet, hosted by Inter-American Dialogue. Tickets can be had at www.thedialogue.org. RSVP to receive dial-in information: https://www.thedialogue.org/events/online-event-covid-19-and-human-rights-in-latin-america-a-conversation-with-michelle-bachelet/.
United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet has called the
Covid-19 crisis a “colossal test of leadership.” Since the pandemic emerged,
Bachelet has advocated forcefully for a human rights-based response, calling
for universal access to health care, global solidarity, and efforts to mitigate
the impact on women and vulnerable groups such as migrants, prisoners, and the
poor. Bachelet has warned of the threat to civil liberties posed by governments
that use the Covid-19 emergency as cover to concentrate power or introduce repressive
policies. She has cautioned that gender gaps and inequalities worsen when the
effects of such crises on women and vulnerable populations are not considered.
As a two-time former president of Chile, former head of UN Women, former health
minister and practicing physician, High Commissioner Bachelet is uniquely
attuned to how Covid-19 is impacting human rights in Latin America.

transition to clean, renewable energy, big energy companies are still peddling
false solutions like nuclear energy expansion as a way to tackle climate
change. Just this year, for instance, Governor Hogan introduced a bill (that

climate plan. Join policy experts to talk about the nuclear energy industry's
current playbook and their false promises about it being clean and renewable.

from 6 to 7 PM, RSVP for a webinar, which will cover how the nuclear industry has used a new
