An effective public health response to the COVID-19 pandemic includes mandatory limits on public gatherings, mask-wearing, and social distancing. To what extent should the content of these measures be shaped by what we know, or think we know, about the social and political consequences of trying to enforce them? What can explain the widespread skepticism and non-compliance that these recommendations have met with in the United States? Panelists: Denise Jamieson (Emory, Chair of Gynecology and Obstetrics), Thomas Wood (Ohio State, Political Science). Moderator: Emma Saunders-Hastings (Ohio State, Political Science). Register for the webinar here.

For the fourth time we gather to protest the Senate leaving town for their August vacation without passing a Covid-relief package. An unprecedented number of people have lost their jobs, and the number who have fallen ill and died is staggering. What this crisis makes clear is that our communities need an economic foundation- a home, cash payments for necessities, health care, childcare, and other services to safely weather the long lasting impacts of this pandemic. We know that if we do not act now millions more will lose their jobs, fall ill, and lose a roof over their heads as the pandemic continues to unfold. We are here today to tell Senators Portman and McConnell to join Senate Democrats at the table and work out a compromise in good faith.

The 2020 election won't be postponed or cancelled. But it CAN be sabotaged and stolen. MoveToAmend's goal is to end Corporate Rule & to create real democracy. Corporate Rule is linked to elections by private/corporate controlled electronic voting machines which sometimes (1) have no paper trail (2) “flip” or change votes, and (3) don’t use "open source” or transparent programming. Fitrakis and Wasserman have written 7 books on elections, including their latest: "The Strip & Flip Disaster of America's Stolen Elections" (2017). They've co-authored hundreds of articles exposing the election fraud of Ohio’s 2004 election and subsequent elections all over the country. Join Zoom Meeting.

Thousands of people are expected in Washington D.C. on August 28 for a march on the 57th anniversary of the historic March on Washington. This year’s march is dedicated to putting an end to police brutality.
The event, known as the “Commitment March: Get Your Knee Off Our Necks,” will take place at the Lincoln Memorial 57 years to the day of the 1963 march, where Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” address. Reverend Al Sharpton and the National Action Network (NAN) announced the march back in June following the death of George Floyd, who died in police custody in May.
