Yet\, to be a knowledgeable voter and engaged citizen requires credible trusted information and journalism. This program will explore journalism and news literacy and navigating what many describe as a treacherous news landscape. Using election-related examples the speakers will cover the tools for fact-checking\, the reasons things go viral\, verification\, debunking strategies as well as the role of journalists and journalism. \nOur speakers: \nJohn Silva is the News Literacy Project’s senior director of education and training.  He joined NLP in March 2017 with 13 years of experience as a middle and high social studies teacher with Chicago Public Schools He first became involved with news literacy in 2014 when his students engaged in NLP’s original classroom program.  A U.S. Marine Corps veteran\, John spent several years in corporate telecommunications positions before deciding to become a teacher.

SUMMARY:Dog whistle racism\, race-class fusion politics\, and our future
DESCRIPTION:Over the last half-century\, the Republican Party has exploited social divisions—and racism in particular—to win power\, and then has ruled primarily on behalf of the ultra-wealthy. Meanwhile\, the Democratic Party has struggled to respond effectively and has even stooped to imitation. In this conversation\, Ian Haney López lays out the history of dog-whistle politics and Donald Trump’s place within it. Then he suggests a clear way forward. His research—discussed in his most recent book\, Merge Left: Fusing Race and Class\, Winning Elections\, and Saving America—demonstrates that dog whistle politics can be defeated. Drawing on these results\, this lecture assesses the looming 2020 presidential election. \n\nIan Haney López is the originator of the race-class approach to beating dog-whistle politics. A law professor at UC Berkeley who specializes in Critical Race Theory\, his focus for the last decade has been on the use of racism as a class weapon in electoral politics\, and how to respond. In Dog Whistle Politics (2014)\, he detailed the fifty-year history of coded racism in American politics. He then co-chaired the AFL-CIO’s Advisory Council on Racial and Economic Justice and co-founded the Race-Class Narrative Project. In Merge Left: Fusing Race and Class\, Winning Elections\, and Saving America (2019)\, Ian explains Trump’s complex relationship with dog-whistling and further develops the race-class response. \nIan is the Chief Justice Earl Warren Professor of Public Law at the University of California\, Berkeley. He has published four books and two anthologies and lives in Richmond\, California. \n  \nRoger Berkowitz\, moderator\, Academic Director\, Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities and Professor of Politics\, Philosophy\, and Human Rights at Bard College. \n  \n  \n  \n  \nAdrian Costa\, a student representative\, is a Senior majoring in both Political Studies and Theatre & Performance at Bard College \n  \n  \n  \n\nTo RSVP for the Zoom Webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_Wg8auw8TRhqOtE_cwMrGhg \nTo watch the event on Facebook Live: https://www.facebook.com/NFRPP/live_videos/ \n\nEvent Sponsors: \n

SUMMARY:Understanding Systemic Racism and Challenges for Policy Change
DESCRIPTION:Racism has been the underside of America throughout our history. The manner with which we have treated Racism has led to our current moment. How we acknowledge and confront Racism today will have a major impact on our future. This means examining our institutional challenges\, class struggles\, and more\, important\, ourselves. \nComing to terms with our history\, finding the strength and courage to make a change will be discussed by our thoughtful distinguished experts. \n  \n\n \nDavid Dante Troutt is a Distinguished Professor of Law and Justice John J. Francis Scholar at Rutgers Law School-Newark where he also directs the Center on Law\, Inequality\, and Metropolitan Equity (CLiME).  Current CLiME research initiatives examine gentrification\, equitable growth strategies in Newark\, and place-based disparities in the context of fair housing\, psychological trauma among school children\, child welfare\, and other areas of institutional inquiry.  He emphasizes using the law and interdisciplinary study to understand structural inequality and to formulate legal and policy reform strategies.  Troutt teaches tort law\, intellectual property\, and a multidisciplinary approach to racial and economic inequality called metropolitan equity (land use\, civil rights\, state and local government\, housing\, and poverty law).  His most recent book\, The Price of Paradise: The Costs of Inequality and a Vision for a More Equitable America (NYU Press)\, examines six cultural assumptions that have informed legal rules and public policy across American communities to reveal how they contribute to structural inequality at a time of immense demographic change. \n  \n​Alex S. Vitale is a Professor of Sociology and Coordinator of the Policing and Social Justice Project at Brooklyn College and a Visiting Professor at London Southbank University. He has spent the last 30 years writing about policing and consults both police departments and human rights organizations internationally. Prof. Vitale is the author of City of Disorder: How the Quality of Life Campaign Transformed New York Politics and The End of Policing. His academic writings on policing have appeared in Policing and Society\, Police Practice and Research\, Mobilization\, and Contemporary Sociology.

SUMMARY:Stop the Madness! Why the US Government Increases Inequality in Good Times and Bad
DESCRIPTION:Economic inequality is a central theme in the Presidential campaign. Progressives have proposed that one way to reduce inequality is with a tax on the accumulated wealth of the richest Americans\, yet an influential theory in economics\, endorsed by the right\, argues that the ideal tax on wealth is zero.

SUMMARY:Dangerous Speech Pre and Post COVID-19: Countering Online Hatred while Protecting Freedom of Expression
DESCRIPTION:When you see something hateful online\, do you respond? If so\, why? And how\, exactly? Everyone says “don’t feed the trolls.” But blocking\, ignoring\, and deleting can only go so far – and often serve to further polarize and isolate us. People around the world are choosing instead to actively resist hatred online by engaging with the trolls\, alone and in groups\, in different innovative ways. This talk will draw on 18 months of research conducted by Cathy Buerger\, Director of Research at the Dangerous Speech Project. The talk will discuss the challenges of responding to hatred online as well as best practices gleaned from this research. \nSpeaker: \nCATHY BUERGER is the Director of Research at the Dangerous Speech Project (DSP)\, a Washington\, DC-based NGO that studies the relationship between speech and violence. She holds a Ph.D. in Anthropology from the University of Connecticut\, where her research examined how civil society activists in Ghana work together to support positive norms and to uphold human rights. Her current research at the DSP focuses on civil society responses to dangerous and hateful speech online. She is a Research Affiliate of UConn’s Economic and Social Rights Research Group\, Managing Editor of the Journal of Human Rights\, and an Editor for the Teaching Human Rights Database. \n  \n  \n  \n\n\n\n\nThis event is from 7:30pm to 9:30pm on May 21\, 2020.\n\n\n\n\nTo RSVP for the Zoom webinar: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_hscTspyqRj6q-G0kDXwRDw \nTo watch the event on Facebook Live: https://www.facebook.com/NFRPP/live/ \n(Webinar access is limited to the first 100 RSVPs\, and will include the ability to ask questions.  If you only want to watch the event\, please use the Facebook Live link on the night of the event.) \n

SUMMARY:Transforming Our Democracy with Ranked Choice Voting
DESCRIPTION:Ranked-choice voting (RCV) is a simple solution with a big impact. It promotes majority support\, contributes to more civil and issue-oriented campaigns\, gives voters more choices\, and produces a more reflective democracy. Amidst widespread frustration with politics among both voters and elected officials\, it’s no surprise that ranked-choice voting is gaining momentum across the country as a win-win solution that strengthens our democracy. \nThe RCV movement is poised to continue its momentum. BIlls in Congress would establish RCV across all congressional elections\, with both the Ranked Choice Voting Act and the more comprehensive Fair Representation Act garnering growing political and intellectual support. State activity is growing. FairVote President Rob Richie will discuss ranked-choice voting’s transformative impact and what it will take to bring RCV to states like New Jersey. \nSpeaker: \nRob Richie has been the leader of FairVote since co-founding the organization in 1992 and was named president and CEO in 2018. He has played a key role in advancing\, winning\, and implementing electoral reforms at the local and state levels. Richie has been involved in helping to develop\, win\, and implement: ranked-choice voting in states and more than 20 cities\, fair representation voting systems in numerous Voting Rights Act cases\, the National Popular Vote plan in 16 states\, and voter access proposals like voter pre-registration and automatic voter registration. \n  \nTo watch the event on Facebook Live: https://www.facebook.com/NFRPP/posts/2799065263502450 \nTo RSVP for the Zoom webinar\, go to https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_QxzwveIkRE2KeZI5ji8Uog \n(Webinar access is limited to the first 100 RSVPs\, and will include the ability to ask questions.  If you only want to watch the event\, please use the Facebook Live link on the night of the event.)
