The Rand Corporation just released an alarming new report on American decline. In the report, “The Sources of Renewed Dynamism,” Rand researchers lay out in clear terms how America is facing several challenges from both abroad and within, in particular our deep political divisions.
The report, which you can read here, should be a clear wake-up call to the commonsense majority -- Americans must unite in this time of division and focus on working together to solve our problems.
No Labels is pleased to offer you the chance to join an exclusive No Labels Talks with the lead researcher of this Rand study, Dr. Michael J. Mazarr, a senior political scientist at RAND and a professor of policy analysis at the Pardee RAND Graduate School.
Join us on Thursday, May 9 at 3 PM ET via Zoom for an exclusive call with Mazarr, who will discuss the key findings of his report and how he believes No Labels and the commonsense majority can help right the ship.
At a time when Israel is fighting for its survival and U.S. college campuses have been wracked by protests that have often condoned blatant antisemitism, it is heartening that many leaders are standing up for what’s right. One of those leaders is New York Rep. Ritchie Torres, who has courageously spoken out in support of Israel and against antisemitism in the face of severe criticism from other members of the progressive wing of the Democratic Party.
On Friday, May 10 at 4:30 PMET, No Labels will be hosting Rep. Torres for a Zoom call where he will discuss how he is committed to working with members of both parties to support our Jewish communities as they navigate the rough waters ahead. He will discuss his proposed legislation—the COLUMBIA Act—which aims to establish a "third-party antisemitism monitor" at federally funded institutions.
Rep. Torres will also address the misuse of "peaceful protests" to veil actions that cross the line into illegality, as he noted on Twitter: “No one has a First Amendment right to erect illegal encampments, blockade entrances, vandalize property … These are not activities protected by the First Amendment. These are crimes punishable by law.”
After months of uncertainty, President Biden and former President Trump are both on record saying they are willing to debate one another. The debates have already been scheduled, with the first one slated for Texas State University on September 16th. But will President Biden and former President Trump actually show up? Will independents be part on the debate stage? What kind of debate can we expect?
Join us on Tuesday, May 14 at 5 PM ET via Zoom for an exclusive conversation with Frank Fahrenkopf, the co-founder and co-chairman of the Commission on Presidential Debates, which since 1987 has conducted the general election presidential and vice presidential debates millions of Americans watch every four years. Fahrenkopf will walk us through the historical significance of the presidential debates, how they can help shape public opinion and how this year could be different.
