Rethinking National Security
Sep. 23, 2020
When World War II ended, our nation was totally secure from attack. Since then, we have spent trillions to improve our national security, yet we now can be destroyed in under an hour. What went wrong? This talk explores a number of assumptions that underlie our current thinking about national security, but that turn out to be highly questionable on closer examination.

How Dry I Ain’t: Prohibition – the Ignoble Experiment that Failed
Oct. 14, 2020
John Freeman will share his research into Prohibition in the Bay Area. The attitude toward Prohibition and its enforcement was lax and pretty consistent for for 8 of the 9 Bay Area Counties (Santa Clara County was a lot more righteous about enforcement). San Mateo County, from the speakeasies of Colma & San Bruno, stills in the hills, and the supply of Canadian Whiskey coming ashore in the dog holes along the coast, was about as “wet” as San Francisco or Marin! Join us to learn more about it.

Shared Action Africa
Nov. 11, 2020
Shared Action Africa is a nonprofit that works to build resilient livelihoods, enhance health, and advance environmental and climate justice for rural and refugee women in Uganda. We achieve our mission by using an integrated program delivery approach that leverages savings and lending groups and community-based organizations to create synergy and address the interconnected and complex community needs. Accordingly, we leverage women and girl led savings groups and community based organizations to support rural and refugee women access financial services to achieve economic self-sufficiency, promote access to sexual and reproductive health and rights for women and adolescents, while helping them restore degraded land and adapt to a changing climate. Since our inauguration in 2014, we have helped over 22,000 rural and refugee women, adolescents and young adults access financial services, contraceptives and cervical cancer screening, training, technical skills, and energy efficient cookstoves. |
