34] – On Wed., July 14 at 9 AM ET, check out Report launch:
'DPRK strategic capabilities and security on the Korean Peninsula: looking
ahead.' Believing that Russia–US cooperation could play an important role in
developing and implementing proposals for denuclearization and creating lasting
peace on the Korean Peninsula, the Moscow-based Center for Energy and Security
Studies (CENESS) and The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS)
undertook a joint assessment of North Korea’s progress in developing nuclear
and missile capabilities. The three-part report rigorously outlines the
Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s nuclear and ballistic missile
capabilities and details potential steps for tension reduction,
confidence-building and denuclearization. In this webinar launch, Mark
Fitzpatrick and Anton Khlopkov will discuss the findings of the report and
respond to questions from the audience. Fitzpatrick is an Associate Fellow
and former Executive Director of IISS–Americas; and Anton Khlopkov is the
founder and Director of CENESS. Sign up at https://www.iiss.org/events/2021/07/north-korea-strategic-capabilities.

38] – Sue at Defending Rights & Dissent [info@rightsanddissent.org] wants you to join in on Wed., July 14 at 3 PM ET a New Online Series Examining Biden's Misguided Domestic Extremism Strategy. DRAD kicks off a new #Lunchtime Live series focused on the troublesome "new" CP3 program and what it means for dissent in America. This week, DRAD’s Cody Bloomfield will be joined by Harsha Panduranga of the Brennan Center to find out what the CVE/CP3 program is while dismantling the myth of the "path to violence" theory used to justify some of the program's more notorious - and unconstitutional - practices and strategies.
Harsha Panduranga is counsel at the Brennan Center’s Liberty and National Security Program. While at the Brennan Center, he’s researched how the government targets Muslim communities under the guise of counterterrorism. Recently, he’s put out an excellent report explaining why President Biden’s new domestic terrorism strategy stands little chance of helping to address white supremacist violence. Problems with ideological policing, speculative surveillance, and stigmatization of mental health conditions remain, and, as Harsha explains in his report, there is every chance that the new plan will continue to target communities of color. To hear the discussion, go to https://www.rightsanddissent.org/live/what-is-cvecp3-the-path-to-violence-myth/?eType=EmailBlastContent&eId=6ffde001-08e2-48a4-87a5-6d13e58eeb44.
39] -- HIAS [info@hias.org] is inviting you to an online event on Wed., July 14 from 4 to 5 PM ET: How Your Congregation Can Support Resettling Refugees. Congregations across the U.S. are helping to resettle refugees, and learn what your community can do to get started. Hear from Rabbi Jeremy Schwartz, Temple Bnai Israel, Willimantic, CT and Laren Ukman, Lay leader, Mishkan Chicago. Sign up at https://www.hias.org/events/welcome-action-how-us-congregations-can-support-refugees. In May, the Biden administration raised this year’s refugee admissions numbers and laid the groundwork for increased capacity to welcome refugees in the years ahead. Historically, congregations around the U.S. have played an essential role in supporting refugee families as they integrate into their new communities, and the opportunity to resume that important work is now a tangible reality.

41] -- Richard Krushnic, Massachusetts Peace Action [info@masspeaceaction.org] wants you to participate on Wed., July 14 from 7 to 8 PM ET in this event: The Dangers of the new U.S. Breeder Reactor Program with Frank von Hippel. This program and the Plutonium Separation Programs will produce more atomic bombs. We have learned that the U.S. government is building a new generation of far more accurate and versatile nuclear weapons, at a cost of well over a trillion dollars over 30 years (we are about 1/10 of the way through). What we have been hearing about and talking about are the delivery vehicles for the weapons: the New Columbia submarines to replace the Tridents, the new Ground Based Strategic Deterrent (GBSD) to replace the Minuteman III missile, and the new Long Range Strategic Missile (LRSO) to augment the guided bombs. But what about the weapons themselves—the nuclear guided bombs and warheads? Frank von Hippel is co-director of Princeton University’s Program on Science and Global Security. Register at https://us06web.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZwkc-GsrT4rH9C3tjHrMHn36_Obk3AU1B9l?emci=0e50a9b4-dce3-eb11-a7ad-501ac57b8fa7&emdi=e734b2d7-dee3-eb11-a7ad-501ac57b8fa7&ceid=269591.
