SUMMARY:Sunshine Week
DESCRIPTION:Sunshine Week (http://www.sunshineweek.org/) includes Freedom of Information Day (March 16)\, the birthday of James Madison\, and runs through that calendar week. Madison was the principal author of the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights which guarantee the rights of citizens.  Therefore Sunshine Week stands as a national initiative to open discussions about the important or open government and the freedom of information.  Sunshine Week dates back to 2002 when the Florida Society of Newspaper Editors launched Sunshine Sunday in response to efforts by some Florida legislators to create new exemptions to the state’s public records law. After Florida’s initiation on this topic\, other states followed its course. The American Society of Newspaper Editors launched Sunshine Week in March 2005. It has become an annual event.  Sunshine Week is not restricted to journalists. Anyone can be involved: students\, teachers\, bloggers\, private citizens\, public officials and non-profit groups. The only requirement is to engage in a public discussion either small or large about the importance of open government. A discussion can take many forms: a large public forum\, a classroom discussion\, an article or an editorial. The idea of participation is not about how much\, but about actually being involved.  To participate in Sunshine Week\, see https://sunshineweek.org/ (https://sunshineweek.org/) for ideas.

SUMMARY:Protest Songs
DESCRIPTION:The lyrical Michael Hersher will tell you the history of\, and lead you in the singing of\, old and new songs related to unions\, immigration\, peace\, women’s rights\, and class struggle. Michael will bring the words. You bring the spirit! (And if you can’t sing good\, sing loud.) Michael worked for many years as a lawyer for the State of California on farm worker labor relations and public education. He ended up as a mediator for special education disputes. He has been a folk singer and political activist since the 60s\, having grown up in a family of freethinkers and atheists. Michael’s parents were victims of McCarthyism in the 50s. In the last 40 years\, Michael has performed and taught protest songs to comfort and inspire folks on picket lines\, demonstrations\, and in classrooms and places of worship.
