  • Calendar of Observances 2021
    Calendar of Observances 2021 The increasingly pluralistic population of the United States is made up of many different ethnic, cultural, faith and religious communities. To enhance mutual understanding among groups and promote inclusive communities, the ADL offers this resource as a tool to increase awareness of and respect for religious obligations and ethnic and cultural festivities that may affect students, colleagues and neighbors in your community. Religious Observations The calendar includes significant religious observances of the major faiths represented in the United States. It can be used when planning school exam schedules and activities, workplace festivities and community events. Note that Bahá’í, Jewish and Islamic holidays begin at sundown the previous day and end at sundown on the date listed. National and International Holidays The calendar notes U.S. holidays that are either legal holidays or observed in various states and communities throughout the country. Important national and international observances that may be commemorated in the U.S. are also included. Calendar System The dates of secular holidays are based on the Gregorian calendar, which is commonly used for civil dating purposes. Many religions and cultures follow various traditional calendar systems that are often based on the phases of the moon with occasional adjustments for the solar cycle. Therefore, specific Gregorian calendar dates for these observances will differ from year to year. In addition, calculation of specific dates may vary by geographical location and according to different sects within a religion. [NOTE: Observances highlighted in yellow indicate that the dates are tentative or not yet set by the organizations who coordinate them.] © 2020 Anti-Defamation League Page 1 https://www.adl.org/education/resources/tools-and-strategies/calendar-of-observances January 2021 January 1 NEW YEAR’S DAY The first day of the year in the Gregorian calendar, commonly used for civil dating purposes.

  • Halted Democracy: Government Hijacking of the New Opposition in Azerbaijan
    Halted Democracy: Government Hijacking of the New Opposition in Azerbaijan Altay Goyushov and Ilkin Huseynli The unprecedented government crackdown against its critics started on the eve of the 2013 presidential elections which effectively halted the democratization process and caused a general pessimism in the society. Despite the high level of youth activism, Ilham Aliyev won a third term as president in 2013. In addition to the defeat of the opposition, since then, the government of Azerbaijan has become more authoritarian and the political sphere of the opposition has successfully been narrowed down to social media. However, due to the misguided view that anything other than the defeat of the ruling party should be considered a failure for the opponents of the government, achievements of the youth activism in Azer- baijan between 2005 and 2013 have been overlooked while their contributions to the Azerbaijani society have been ignored. This article examines the activities of the independent youth organizations in the country, which emerged after the seri- ous setback of the opposition political parties in the 2005 parliamentary elections. Two events had caused a heated political debate among the opponents of the government concerning the reasons of their failures. First, in 2003, after the death of the then president Heydar Aliyev, the opposition had a good chance to grasp the power. But due to the falsifcation of the electoral results as well as the oppression of the protests, Ilham Aliyev managed to succeed his father. Second, after two years, the Azerbaijani united opposition, infuenced by the then recent revolutions in Georgia and Ukraine, failed to galvanize the masses behind itself and lost the parliamentary elections to the ruling party.
