Organize a Virtual Forum on Issues Related to the Election!

[image: image.png]

*Colleagues,*

Over the next five weeks,* Historians for Peace and Democracy (H-PAD) *is
encouraging members and supporters around the country to organize
*virtual *talks
or panels – delivered via Zoom or Skype—on key issues in this election
regarding both domestic and foreign policy.

We have created a speakers list of over twenty-five prominent historians
and activists, who are willing to participate without honoraria in these
*virtual *events—we call these Issues Forums.  The speakers list is below
with the name and affiliation of each speaker, links to information about
each speaker, topics and areas on which each is willing to present, and a
contact email address.

*Because time is so short, we are asking you, as a prospective Issues Forum
organizer, to contact speakers on the list directly by email to discuss the
event you have in mind, its date and time, and its logistics.* We (the
H-PAD Steering Committee) would, though, appreciate a note when an Issue
Forum is set up, and a brief sum-up after one occurs.

As recent experience has shown, one great advantage of life on Zoom is that
virtual events are much simpler and quicker to arrange than face-to-face
sessions on campus or in the community.  During the coming month when the
eyes of 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.

 *To raise **questions or make suggestions, please contact us at
**Carolyn.Eisenberg at hofstra.edu
<Carolyn.Eisenberg at hofstra.edu> **{Rusti) or at skotna at sage.edu
<skotna at sage.edu> (Andor).*

Thanks and solidarity, Rusti Eisenberg and Andor Skotne*s *
