*October 7, 2020*

*Last week, Historians for Peace and Justice (H-PAD) announced its Virtual
Issues Forums*, along with a list of twenty-seven leading historians,
intellectuals, and activists who are willing to present, via Zoom or Skype,
to campus or community gatherings around the country. *Now we are adding
five speakers to that list*. All the speakers are available to speak,
without honoraria, on a range of topics crucial to the upcoming November
elections. We urged—and we again urge now--H-PAD members and supporters to
contact speakers directly by email to set up forums in their locales during
October. As we pointed out in the original announcement, these virtual
events are much simpler and quicker to arrange than face-to-face sessions.

Times are difficult now, and the struggle is intense.  To again repeat our
first announcement, during the coming weeks, when our students and others
are increasingly focused on the election, we have an opportunity to do
valuable educational work around the critical issues of our time.  *Please
consider scheduling an Issues Forum in your locale! Or--an additional
idea--set up a speaker as part of a regular distance or hybrid class, and
then invite others to join the class presentation.*

*Please contact us with questions or for more information, *
