Murphy, author of The Violence Inside Us, a book about the history of violence in the United States that was set to be published in January, discussed the role he has played in the gun reform move- ment and answered questions on the issue of gun violence in America today. “We need to realize that gun violence is on the radar of politicians, and the Democrats are doing everything in their power to implement strict background checks,” he said. Volsky, whose tweets highlighting the amount of money politicians received from the National Rifle Association (NRA) went viral in 2016 and served as a cata- lyst for his larger gun reform movement, emphasized the difference between action and surface-level empathy exercised by politicians. “Lawmakers are quick to send thoughts and prayers after a shooting, but these lawmakers are the ones taking money from the NRA,” Volsky said. Guns Down America, which aims to move the country toward a future with fewer guns, focuses on driving corporate-based cam- paigns to encourage corporations, such as Walmart, to end sales of assault weapons and to advocate for gun reform. Visiting Assistant Professor of Political Science Thomas X. Lefebvre expressed appreciation for both speakers’ input. “Volsky’s creative campaign tactics bring a breath of fresh air and optimism to the gun control conversation, which, for far too long, has seemed hopeless in this country,” Lefebvre said. “It was also a rare opportunity for students to listen and exchange with Senator Murphy, one of the loudest voices nationally on the topic.” PHOTO: NICK CAITO NICK PHOTO: ALONG THE WALK THOMAS CHURCH UPDATE The Digital Health CT Digital Health CT, the new digital health (or med- Brownell tech) accelerator run by Startupbootcamp, recently for TEACHING announced its inaugural cohort in Hartford.

Thank you for joining us to celebrate fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community in the media. Tonight, as we recognize outstanding achievements and bold visions, we also take pause to remember the impact of our most powerful tool: our voice. The past year in news, entertainment and online media reminds us that our stories are what continue to drive equality forward. When four states brought marriage equality to the election FROM THE PRESIDENT ballot last year, GLAAD stepped forward to help couples across the nation to share messages of love and commitment that lit the way for landmark victories in Maine, Maryland, Minnesota and Washington. Now, the U.S. Supreme Court will weigh in on whether same- sex couples should receive the same federal protections as straight married couples, and GLAAD is leading the media narrative and reshaping the way Americans view marriage equality. Because of GLAAD’s work, the Boy Scouts of America is closer than ever before to ending its discriminatory ban on gay scouts and leaders. GLAAD is empowering people like Jennifer Tyrrell – an Ohio mom who was ousted as leader of her son’s Cub Scouts pack – to share their stories with top-tier national news outlets, helping Americans understand the harm this ban inflicts on gay youth and families.

  • Ryflwl Enness Al Office REPORT on CRITICAL MASS CONFERENCE by Arnold Weissberg, October 16, 1978
    14 Charles Lane New York, N.Y. 10014 October 23, 1978 TO ORGANIZERS AND NATIONAL CO"ITTEE MEMBERS Dear Comrades, The attached report by Arnold Weissberg on the Critical Mass conference should be shared with comrades involved in antinuclear work. Information about activities around the Karen Silkwood week in November should be sent to The Militant. Comradely, ryflwl enness al Office REPORT ON CRITICAL MASS CONFERENCE by Arnold Weissberg, October 16, 1978 About 750 people turned out for the Critical Mass 78 conference in Washington D.C., October 6-8. Critical Mass is a Ralph Nader organization, started a couple of years ago, and it publishes a monthly newsletter called, Critical Mass. The head of Critical Mass, Richard Pollack, is an authoritative figure in the anti-nuclear movement. Pollack was a guest speaker at last spring's regional no-nukes conference in Tallahassee, Florida, and was a "resource person" at the I,ouisville conference in August. This was the moderate wing of the movement. The conference was dominated by environmental lawyers, 1obbyists, would-be congressional aides, past congressional aides, scientists, and "courtroom activists" from the kinds of groups that spend years litigating against nuclear plants. Most of them are foundation funded. There was almost no overlap that I noticed from the Mobilization for Survival conference in Des Moines, but there was a significant representation from the various alliances that met at Louisville. The registration fee was S15. It was an educational gathering rather than an action conference. There were several events of interest to us. We went assuming most of the conference would be one or another form of drumbeating for Jerry Brown for president.

  • Chapter 3: the Rise of the Antinuclear Power Movement: 1957 to 1989
    Chapter 3 THE RISE OF THE ANTINUCLEAR POWER MOVEMENT 1957 TO 1989 In this chapter I trace the development and circulation of antinuclear struggles of the last 40 years. What we will see is a pattern of new sectors of the class (e.g., women, native Americans, and Labor) joining the movement over the course of that long cycle of struggles. Those new sectors would remain autonomous, which would clearly place the movement within the autonomist Marxist model. Furthermore, it is precisely the widening of the class composition that has made the antinuclear movement the most successful social movement of the 1970s and 1980s. Although that widening has been impressive, as we will see in chapter 5, it did not go far enough, leaving out certain sectors of the class. Since its beginnings in the 1950s, opposition to the civilian nuclear power program has gone through three distinct phases of one cycle of struggles.(1) Phase 1 —1957 to 1967— was a period marked by sporadic opposition to specific nuclear plants. Phase 2 —1968 to 1975— was a period marked by a concern for the environmental impact of nuclear power plants, which led to a critique of all aspects of nuclear power. Moreover, the legal and the political systems were widely used to achieve demands. And Phase 3 —1977 to the present— has been a period marked by the use of direct action and civil disobedience by protesters whose goals have been to shut down all nuclear power plants. 3.1 The First Phase of the Struggles: 1957 to 1967 Opposition to nuclear energy first emerged shortly after the atomic bomb was built.

We ain't buying Guomo's rcure' By MICHAEL GOODWIN Last Updated: 3:27 AM, April 10,2013 Posfed; 1 :33 AM, April 10, 2013 lf chicken soup can cure Albany's epidemic of corruption, New Yorkers will be feeling better soon, thanks to the nostrums Gov. Cuomo dished out yesterday. ln a dreary event that smacked of a placeholder for real action, Cuomo summoned a handful of district attorneys to tout changes aimed at making it easier to use state laws to prosecute political corruption. Some penalties would be increased and standards lowered for conviction, moves Cuomo claimed would give prosecutors "the tools they need." Maybe, but it's not legal hurdles that keep DAs from doing corruption cases. They themselves are part of the political system, backed by the party bosses and running with some of the people they should be prosecuting. That's the main reason corruption cases usually fall to federal prosecutors, and the new laws wouldn't change that. Cuomo flicked at that fact in an answer to a reporter's question, just as he flicked at a question about term limits. Neither subject elicited much enthusiasm. Then again, neither did talk of corruption itself light the governor's fire. lf he's lost his famous temper over the explosion of scandals, he's doing a good job of hiding it. Too good for my taste. Where's the passion? Where's the righteous anger at those who have betrayed the public trust? It was missing in action, as it has been for the last week.
