  • Human Longing Is for Nothing Less Than the Reconciliation of Time and Place
    uman longing is for nothing less than the reconciliation of time and place, of past and future, of the many and the one, of the living and the dead. HBoston is precious because it lives in the national imagination, and increasingly the world’s, just so— as a still brilliant map of America’s good hope. —James Carroll from Mapping Boston Helping to Build The Good City The Boston Foundation works closely with its donors to make real, measurable change in some of the most important issues of our day. A number of key areas of community life benefited from the Foundation’s “Understanding Boston” model for social change in 2005: Research This year, the Foundation’s third biennial Boston Indicators Report identified the key competitive issues facing Boston and the region and offered an emerging civic agenda. The Foundation also released the third annual “Housing Report Card” and a report on ways for towns and cities to build affordable housing without increasing school costs. Other reports focused on goals for Boston Harbor and the Waterfront—and the impact and role of Greater Boston’s higher education institutions through the Carol R. Goldberg Seminar. Major Convenings All Boston Foundation reports are released at forums attracting thousands of people every year. In 2005 alone, the Foundation held some 20 forums on a diverse set of issues—including two major housing convenings, sessions focused on strengthening the nonprofit sector and community safety—and forums examining the effects of the tsunami and Hurricane Katrina on national and local philanthropy. Task Forces Task Forces of experts and stakeholders are convened and facilitated by the Foundation.

  • August 5, 2021 the Honorable Janet Yellen Secretary of the Treasury
    August 5, 2021 The Honorable Janet Yellen The Honorable Katherine Tai Secretary of the Treasury United States Trade Representative 1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW 600 17th Street NW Washington, DC, 20220 Washington, DC 20508 Dear Secretary Yellen and Ambassador Tai: On behalf of the undersigned organizations, we write to express our support for continued engagement with China on trade and economic issues, including full implementation of the U.S.-China Phase One Trade Agreement (“Phase One”), and swift action to address the costly and burdensome tariffs and retaliatory tariffs. We support the Biden Administration holding China accountable to its Phase One commitments, and we strongly urge the Administration to work with the Chinese government to increase purchases of U.S. goods through the remainder of 2021 and implement all structural commitments of the Agreement before its two-year anniversary on February 15, 2022. The Chinese government has met important benchmarks and commitments made in the agreement that benefit American businesses, farmers, ranchers, and workers. For example, the commitment by China to open up its markets to U.S. financial institutions – and other U.S. financial service providers – reflects a hard-won U.S. achievement, and years of work by administrations of both parties. The chapter 3 commitments have been good for American agriculture, addressing most long-standing market access barriers. China has removed market access barriers for some U.S. fruits and grains and for nearly all U.S. beef products, as well as expanded its list of U.S. facilities eligible to export beef, pork, poultry, seafood, dairy, feed additives, and infant formula to China, among other actions.

  • FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 3, 2012
    WLF News Release Washington Legal Foundation Advocate for freedom and justice® 2009 Massachusetts Avenue, NW Washington, DC 20036 202.588.0302 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE August 3, 2012 FORMER ATTORNEYS GENERAL URGE DISMISSAL OF CONSTITUTIONAL CHALLENGE TO FOREIGN SURVEILLANCE STATUTE (Clapper v. Amnesty International USA, No. 11-1025) A bipartisan group of six former Attorneys General yesterday urged the U.S. Supreme Court to throw out a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of a 2008 federal statute that expanded the authority of federal officials to engage in overseas electronic surveillance. In a High Court brief drafted by the Washington Legal Foundation (which also joined in the brief), the group argued that allowing the case – filed by individuals and organizations that are not permissible surveillance targets – to proceed to trial threatens to interfere with efforts to protect national security. WLF’s brief was written with the substantial pro bono assistance of Megan Brown, Claire Evans, and Matthew Dowd of Washington, D.C.’s Wiley Rein LLP. The former Attorneys General who signed the brief were John D. Ashcroft, William P. Barr, Benjamin Civiletti, Edwin Meese III, Michael B. Mukasey, and Dick Thornburgh. The brief was filed in support of the Obama Administration, which has asked the Supreme Court to overturn a decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reinstating the suit. WLF and its clients argued in their brief that the appeals court erred in concluding that the plaintiffs have suffered a cognizable injury and thus have standing to assert their claims. The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), adopted by Congress in 1978, governs the conduct of “electronic surveillance” for national security purposes.

    Yale-China Association biennial report 2oo1–2oo3 Mission The Yale-China Association is a private, non-profit organization that contributes to the devel- opment of education in and about China and the furtherance of knowledge, understanding and friendship between Chinese and American people. Our work is based on the conviction that sustained, one-on-one contacts between Chinese and American people through educa- tional exchange not only enrich the lives of the individuals involved but contribute, ulti- mately, to more peaceful relations between our two nations. Teaching and learning are at the heart of our work. History The Yale-China Association was founded in 1901. For its first half-century, Yale-China’s work was centered in Changsha and Wuhan, where it helped to found Xiangya Hospital, Medical College, and Nursing School, the Yali Middle School, and Huachung University. Collaboration with New Asia College, now a part of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, began in 1953, and programs at mainland institutions were resumed in 1980. Relations with Yale University While closely affiliated with the Yale community, Yale-China is separately incorporated and administered and receives no financial support from Yale University apart from limited funds for two exchange programs involving Yale students and for special projects conducted on behalf of the University. Membership Yale-China greatly appreciates the loyal support of its members. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a member and other giving opportunities, please contact Yale-China at (203) 432-0880, or by e-mail at [email protected].

John Joseph Moakley Archive and Institute, Suffolk University, Boston, MA. Copyright Information: Copyright ©2007 Suffolk University. Interview Summary In this interview, James W. Hennigan, Jr., a Suffolk University Law School alumnus (JD 1958), Massachusetts state representative (1953-1954), state senator (1955-1964), and Boston School Committee member (1970-1974), discusses the impact of the 1974 Garrity decision, which required some students to be bused between Boston neighborhoods with the intention of creating racial balance in the public schools. Mr. Hennigan reflects on the issue of busing in the Boston Public School system, recalling the Boston School Committee’s work in the years prior to the Garrity decision and the roles which various politicians and city leaders played in the debate. He reminisces about Boston’s great politicians. Additionally, he recalls his memories of Joe Moakley’s successful run as an Independent candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in 1972. Mr. Hennigan also shares a bit of his political career and that of his family.
