Legitimizing True SafetySponsored by Stanford Center on Philanthropy and Civil Society, Center for Comparative Studies in Race and Ethnicity
Since COVID-19 hit the city, a program that is supposed to be used to “deter, identify, and solve crime,” has since been turned against Detroiters accused of violating social distancing orders. The city has increased police patrols in parks, regularly conducts flyovers and relies on the Project Green Light camera system to monitor compliance. Detroit police have already issued over 1,700 tickets at up to $1,000 per ticket to residents already struggling with poverty wages, and in a city that is 80% black or African American. What does real safety mean in a time of crisis? How do mass surveillance technologies impact black and brown communities? How can we build a vision of safety that ensures thriving neighborhoods instead of criminalizing poor communities? Join us in exploring these essential questions with Tawana Petty, in conversation with Eric Williams of the Detroit Justice Center, Clare Garvie of the Center on Privacy & Technology at Georgetown Law, and Cierra Robson, a PhD Candidate in Sociology and Social Policy at Harvard University.Wednesday, June 3, 2020 | 10:00-11:30PM |

The Button: The New Nuclear Arms Race And Presidential Power From Truman To Trump
A book event with authors William J. Perry and Tom Z. Collina
Throughout America’s atomic history, the president has solely held the power to end the world in minutes. This won’t stop . . . unless we do something. Now. America is one “push of a button” away from nuclear war—a decision that rests solely in the hands of the president. Without waiting for approval from Congress or even the secretary of defense, the president can unleash America’s nuclear arsenal, ending civilization as we know it. For decades, glitches and slipups have threat-ened to trigger nuclear winter: misinformation, false alarms, unstable presidents, and now cyber- attacks. And a new nuclear arms race has begun, threatening us all.
