58] – Join Common Cause activists around the country at a virtual phonebank to urge voters in key states to demand their senators’ support the Freedom to Vote Act. Work together to demand bold changes to our democracy to create a government that represents all of us, not big corporations or special interests. Call on voters in targeted states and connect them to their Senators to support the Freedom to Vote Act, and to eliminate the filibuster. These phone banks are subject to change based on variables. Our democracy is in crisis: with redistricting around the corner and hundreds of voter suppression laws being introduced in states across the country, we do not have time to wait. RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/pfaw/event/376178/?utm_source=PFAW to call on Thurs., Nov. 18 from 6 to 8 PM ET.
59] – Catch this panel discussion What's Next for the U.S.-Japan-South Korea Partnership? on Thurs., Nov. 18 from 7 to 9 PM ET. Register at https://bit.ly/3w7Ak9g. Email hjahn@stanford.edu. Stanford University Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies sponsored this event. The ROK-U.S. and U.S.-Japan joint statements have increased expectations for a possible expansion of security and economic cooperation among South Korea, the U.S. and Japan. However, heightened U.S.-China strategic competition, as well as persistent challenges in the region such as historical tensions and the North Korea threat, have complicated the strategic calculus of U.S., South Korea and Japan. Under these circumstances, the South Korea, the U.S. and Japan must define their economic and security interests and seek ways to maintain friendly relations among the three countries. This seminar will discuss security and economic cooperation among Korea, the United States and Japan in the era of strategic competition between the U.S. and China. See https://fsi.stanford.edu/events/whats-next-us-japan-south-korea-partnership-security-and-economic-cooperation-new-era.
60] – Team Auburn [info@auburnseminary.org] wants you to join a conversation on Thurs., Nov. 18 at 7 PM ET. ‘I Need You to Survive - Belonging in a Radically Divided World.’ RSVP at https://auburnseminary.org/survive/. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic; racial uprisings sparked by the killing of George Floyd; the increased impacts of climate change and economic devastation; and overt threats to democracy typified by voter suppression and ever tighter immigration restrictions. Some speculate that racism is too endemic to ever be eradicated in the U.S. Auburn does not believe that. Auburn will present and reflect on the findings, conducted with individual groups of Black, Latinx and White leaders of faith and moral courage committed to grappling with what it means to belong to each other in a profoundly divided world.
