43] – On Wed., Nov. 17 at 10:30 AM, check out the webinar Nuclear Peace in South Asia? Most discussions on future nuclear arms control focus narrowly on U.S. negotiations with Russia and potential negotiations with China. This leaves out two pairs of nuclear-armed competitors that engage in border clashes—India and China and Pakistan and India. Are there more inclusive approaches to reduce the nuclear dangers involving these countries? If so, what might be the most productive way to proceed, given evolving technologies and the worsening security conditions in southern Asia? Michael Krepon will focus on the future of arms control as argued in his recently published book, Winning and Losing the Nuclear Peace. He will be joined in conversation by Beenish Pervaiz and Debak Das. The event is sponsored by the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace.

Join the Environmental Defense Fund — in partnership with U.S. Department of Labor, Ceres, and others — to discuss this new rule and how it will shape the future of environmentally minded investments!

51] – Tune into Media, Politics and Palestine with anti-war Journalist Ryan Wentz on Wed., Nov. 17 from 7 to 8 PM EST. As the ongoing oppression and occupation of the Palestinian people continues, executed by the Israeli government and supported by the U.S. government, extremist Zionist settlers provoked another round of war this year in Palestine/Israel. As Israel subjugates the Palestinian people and wages war, the corporate U.S. media reflexively blames “both sides” creating a false equivalence between the nuclear-armed state of Israel and the stateless Palestinian people. With regards to Palestine, and broader issues of U.S. foreign policy, young and creative journalists are creating infrastructures to distribute information outside of the traditional, corporate media. Ryan (@queeralamode on Twitter) currently works for MintPress News and has a background in Palestine solidarity organizing and anti-war activism. Ryan previously organized with CODEPINK. Register at bit.ly/ryanwentz.
