49] – School of International Service, American University <sisevents @ american. edu> is holding an event Global Insights: Democracy, Dictatorships, and Social Movements on Thurs., March 24 at 11 AM ET. Sign up at https://www.balsillieschool.ca/event/global-insights-democracy-dictatorships-and-social-movements/. Freedom House reports that democracy has been in decline for 16 consecutive years, and they estimate that only about 20 percent of the world’s population lives in free countries today. Populist leaders and their movements have gained electoral victories in what were once considered stable, consolidated democracies, and authoritarian regimes have become more skilled at repressing challengers both at home and abroad. At the same time, social resistance to authoritarianism and populism is on the rise. During this month’s Global Insights event, panelists will discuss the current state of democracy and authoritarianism as well as the implications of contemporary social movements.

This “vaccine apartheid,” as the late Archbishop Desmond Tutu called it, not only threatens the safety and health of folks in the low and middle income countries, it leads to variants and disruptions that affect people around the world. LEARN MORE ABOUT VACCINE APARTHEID AND WHAT WE CAN DO TO END THE PANDEMIC EVERYWHERE. Moderna is one of the worst actors in addressing global inequity. Contrary to their public image as a hero of the pandemic, they are fighting to maintain monopoly power and prolong the pandemic by hoarding vaccine technology. They are also uniquely vulnerable to public pressure because they were entirely funded by the US government.

60] – Progressive Maryland [Info@progressivemaryland.org] wants you to join a rally on Fri., March 25 at 10 AM to Fight for Environmental Justice!

Frontline communities deserve clean air, deserve clean water and most certainly deserve to have their voices heard. Rally at the Maryland State House, 100 State Circle, Annapolis 21204 to show our legislators that we’ve had enough! RSVP at https://www.mobilize.us/progressivemarylandneweraproject/event/448212/?emci=516949e4-d4a9-ec11-997e-281878b83d8a&emdi=d47ee52e-e4a9-ec11-997e-281878b83d8a&ceid=136680.
