DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. Gregory Hall\, MD Director\, CSU Partnerships for Urban Health; Assistant Professor\, CWRU School of Medicine\, and Former Chair\, Ohio Commission of Minority Health. \n\n\n\nCovid-19 and other diseases disproportionately affect African Americans in severity and numbers.

Given organizational pledges to address racism as a public health crisis\, what progressive healthcare actions will we see in the near future\, locally and statewide?

SUMMARY:Crisis in Journalism\, Democracy\, and the Facts
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Brent Larkin\, PD Columnist\, and former PD Editor \n\n\n\nDemocracy is based on the will of informed citizens. Truth and facts are the basis of journalism.  Without public accountability\, corruption can flourish in all levels of government. Given our political division\, the decline of fact based journalism\, and the rise of social media\, a comprehensive solution is needed. Should public funding be used to support qualified journalists and news media?

SUMMARY:A Contested Presidential Election? What's at Stake?
DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Jonathan Entin\, David L. Brennan Professor Emeritus of Law and Adjunct Professor of Political Science\, CWRU \n\n\n\nThe November election is happening against a backdrop of unprecedented social\, political\, and economic challenges. Misinformation has been spread about the rarity of election fraud. Early winners cannot be announced in all states since approximately 40% of absentee ballots will not be counted till election day\, a major factor in legally postponing official election results. If the incumbent president prematurely announces a victory\, will the Supreme Court or the House of Representatives intervene and declare a winner? What might happen if the authority of the Constitution is not unilaterally recognized and accepted in this election?
