SUMMARY:Medicare for All Town Hall and Campaign Kickoff
DESCRIPTION:The time has come to stand up and demand full health coverage for everyone in this country! \nAs part of our national strategy\, the Houston DSA chapter will be kicking off their local campaign efforts with a Town Hall event on April 21st at St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church. You’re invited you to come listen to our great guest speakers\, learn more about the national campaign\, and find out how you can get involved to fight for health justice here in Texas! \nThe event is free and open to all who may be interested in learning more or figuring how they can participate. \nWhat do we mean by Medicare for All?  Our national strategy advocates for the following principles:  \nA Single Health Program: Everyone will be covered by one health insurance program\, administered by the federal government\, and have equal access to all medical services and treatments. \nComprehensive Coverage: All services requiring a medical professional will be fully covered. You go to the doctor of your choice. Dental\, vision\, mental health\, and pharmaceuticals are all included.\nFree at the point of service: All healthcare costs will be financed through tax contributions based on ability to pay: no copays\, no fees\, no deductibles and no premiums. Ever.\nUniversal Coverage: Coverage for all United States residents –– non-citizens included.\nJobs: A jobs initiative and severance for those affected by the transition to government-run healthcare. \nKey to our local strategy is fighting winnable battles to bring more health justice to those in need. In particular\, we are demanding that Houston must provide Paid Sick Leave benefits to all of its workers\, not just a privileged few. It happened in Austin just recently –– the first city in the South to extend such benefits to all of its residents ––  so why can’t it happen here too? \nCome to the Town Hall to learn more about how Austin accomplished this fantastic achievement. We will hear from Ana Gonzalez from Workers Defense Project and members from Austin DSA –– two organizations that were instrumental in the battle.  \nWe look forward to seeing you on April 21!  Please register now for the Town Hall so you can be a part of a the movement. Let’s build a better world for everyone!

SUMMARY:The Living Library
DESCRIPTION:“Living Books” are members of the community who have volunteered their time and their personal experiences as representatives of different segments of society. One of the great features of the Living Library and checking out a Living Book is that there are no such things as stupid questions. Books have been prepared and made themselves available to you to be able to dig deep and find out what you always wanted to know about the book topic. They are familiar with the topics they represent and are available to discuss that topic with “Readers.”

SUMMARY:Socialist Reading Group: Happy Birthday\, Karl Marx!
DESCRIPTION:Karl Marx has achieved a lasting global impact\, one that is greater and wider than any other philosopher before or afterwards. The Smithsonian Magazine published an article titled “Karl Marx Is the World’s Most Influential Scholar”. The article is based on a study and paper in Nature. Several information scientists from Indiana University Bloomington came to that conclusion based on how often Marx’s work was cited plus the number of works. \nAfter the global financial crisis of capitalism in 2008\, Marx was often cited to help explain the crisis. Marx is relevant because his work is based on science and an advanced method of critical analysis in philosophy and economics. \nWe need Marx now more than ever to help explain the nature of capitalism and the internal dynamics of its own destruction. Join us for a discussion on Marx’s legacy and contributions.

SUMMARY:A New Agenda & Bipartisanship for the Americas & the U.S. (panel)
DESCRIPTION:The past two decades have provided great successes and collaborations between the U.S and Latin America\, especially in the areas of: economic integration and trade; combatting organized crime and narcotics trafficking; strengthening collaboration on anti-corruption efforts; expanding and improving educational exchanges; and addressing the opportunities and challenges of actors from outside of the hemisphere. \nIn 2017\, Global Americans convened a High-Level Working Group on Inter-American Relations and Bipartisanship to discuss cross-regional ways the current U.S. administration can build and improve upon the achievements of the past twenty years of inter-American cooperation. The effort represents a broad hemispheric voice to define a new agenda for inter-American affairs and recommendations\, including: \n• Tracking the dissemination of misinformation\n• Improving NAFTA to make it more fair\n• Expanding the U.S. Treasury Department’s anti-money laundering efforts used against terrorism to address narcotics and organized crime\n• Adopting and integrating anti-corruption tools\, norms and procedures\n• Fully funding and even expanding U.S. educational exchange programs in the face of China’s ambitious efforts in the same field \n\nPlease join the Council for a Panel Discussion with:\nForeign Minister Carolina Barco\nFormer Foreign Minister of Colombia and Former Colombian Ambassador to the U.S.  \nChristopher Sabatini\nGlobal Americans Executive Director & Founder and Lecturer at Colombia University’s SIPA \nMarco A.

SUMMARY:Former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper - Facts and Fears: Hard Truths from a Life in Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:*A copy of DNI James Clapper’s book Facts and Fears is included in the cost of every ticket.* \n*If possible\, please register in advance as this event may reach capacity.* \nWhen he stepped down in January 2017 as the fourth United States director of national intelligence\, James Clapper had been President Obama’s senior intelligence adviser for six and a half years\, longer than his three predecessors combined. He led the U.S. intelligence community through a period that included the raid on Osama bin Laden\, the Benghazi attack\, the leaks of Edward Snowden\, and Russia’s influence operation during the 2016 U.S. election campaign. \nIn Facts and Fears: Hard Truths from a Life in Intelligence\, Clapper traces his career through the growing threat of cyberattacks\, his relationships with presidents and Congress\, and the truth about Russia’s role in the presidential election. He describes\, in the wake of Snowden and WikiLeaks\, his efforts to make intelligence more transparent and to push back against the suspicion that Americans’ private lives are subject to surveillance. \nFinally\, it was living through Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election and seeing how the foundations of American democracy were–and continue to be–undermined by a foreign power that led him to break with his instincts honed through more than five decades in the intelligence profession to share his inside experience. Facts and Fears offers a privileged look inside the U.S. intelligence community and\, with the frankness and professionalism for which James Clapper is known\, addresses some of the most difficult challenges in our nation’s history. \nJames Clapper served as the fourth United States Director of National Intelligence–the United States’ top intelligence officer and President Obama’s senior intelligence advisor–from 2010 until 2017. Beginning his career as an enlisted Marine Corps reservist in 1961\, Clapper eventually became a three-star Air Force lieutenant general and director of the Defense Intelligence Agency\, retiring from uniformed service in 1995. In 2001 he returned to service\, becoming the first civilian director of the National Imaging and Mapping Agency just three days after 9/11. In 2007 he was appointed the Pentagon’s top intelligence official\, serving as an appointee for both the Bush and Obama administrations before President Obama appointed him as DNI. \nFor a video of Director Clapper testifying before the U.S. Senate about Russian interference in the 2016 election and how the U.S. should respond\, please click HERE. \nEvery ticket for this event includes a copy of James Clapper’s book Facts and Fears: Hard Truths from a Life in Intelligence which will be given to each attendee at the event. \nThis event is co-hosted with Brazos Bookstore

SUMMARY:Transforming Our Juvenile Justice System

SUMMARY:Can Public Policy Control Rising Drug Prices?
DESCRIPTION:Prescription drug expenditures are projected to reach $360.2 billion in 2018. Per capita spending on these drugs rose 5 percent in 2015 and 3.5 percent in 2016. The public is outraged by stories of Martin Shkreli raising the price of Daraprim by 5\,000 percent\, and Mylan raising the price of a pair of EpiPens by 400 percent. Meanwhile\, the cost of treatment with the most novel anticancer drugs has risen by 400 percent over the past 10 years\, and the cost of treatment with new drugs that can cure Hepatitis C is tens of thousands of dollars. Will the prices of prescription drugs continue to rise at extraordinary rates? Are a handful of blockbuster drugs to blame\, or will all patients be forced to pay rapidly rising prices? At this event\, Vivian Ho\, director of the Baker Institute Center for Health and Biosciences\, will explore these questions and describe the policy options to control drug price increases being recommended by policymakers\, researchers and clinicians. \nFollow @BakerInstitute on Twitter and join the conversation online with #BakerHealth.

SUMMARY:Going Green for Home Building/Remodeling Projects
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to an online talk on Sunday\, June 17 at 6 p.m. by Caroline Kostak of the U.S\, Green Building Council on Going Green for Home Building/Remodeling Projects. \nChrist the King Evangelical Lutheran Church invites you to a monthly environmental education web meeting series whose theme in 2018 is Stewardship. \nCaroline Kostak\, Secretary\, Texas Gulf Coast Region\, U.S. Green Building Council \nGoing Green for Home Building/Remodeling Projects \nSunday\, June 17\, at 6 p.m. \nThe amount of resources borrowed from our Earth to create the buildings in which we spend 93% of our lives is staggering. If we look at just the residential building industry\, we see that we are building homes with a life span of 40-100 years\, with the interior materials having an even shorter lifespan. \nThrough this discussion\, Caroline Kostak\, secretary of the Texas Gulf Coast Region chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council\, will look at how we can meet the need to shelter and provide work space for a growing population while also being respectful of the resources given to us on Earth.   We will explore different strategies that can lead to efficient resource management and produce beautiful\, healthy\, and efficient buildings that celebrate the gifts and abundance of the Earth while also protecting them. \nCaroline draws from her experience as a NASA Flight Controller\, constructing one of the highest performance structures ever built – the International Space Station – and many conversations with space travelers who have seen first-hand the fragility and beauty of our Earth from a distinct vantage point.  Her work with space construction has led directly to her working in construction on Earth\, as this broadened perspective helped her see the importance of being a good steward of the precious Earth we’ve been asked to care for. \nAfter Caroline’s talk\, there will be time for Q&A.  Please register for this talk; \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/going-green-for-home-buildingremodeling-projects-tickets-45446415452 \nand you will receive an invitation to the web meeting.  Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions.

SUMMARY:Youth Justice Visioning Session
DESCRIPTION:The Houston community is greatly impacted by youth incarceration\, as Harris County commits the highest number of youth to Texas’ state secure youth lockups. Additionally\, local Harris County officials plan to build a new juvenile detention center at an estimated cost of $65-70 million. Kids do not belong in prisons\, and the voices of Houston residents- particularly those most affected by youth incarceration- must be heard if a youth justice transformation is to take hold and be successful in Texas. Join us for a visioning session to answer this question: What do young people need to avoid justice involvement and lead successful lives?
