PVP Democrats Monthly Meeting

The Palos Verdes Democrats will meet on September 18th at the Peninsula Center Library at 2:30 pm. We will hear from two speakers on a variety of topics that we think will be of interest to our membership.

First, we will hear from Catherine Leys of the EDUCATORS’ INSTITUTE FOR HUMAN RIGHTS Empowering teachers to repair the world. According to their website, the EIHR’s mission is to develop ”partnerships with teachers in countries recovering from conflict to provide training in the best practices on human rights, genocide prevention, and Holocaust education.

We intend that EIHR will help educators and their students worldwide to better understand the history of mass atrocities, including the Holocaust, and apply these lessons to their lives and the world today in order to create a more tolerant, educated, and peaceful future.”  Catherine will tell us about EIHR’s work in Rwanda and take your questions about that work and the EIHR in general.

Next, we will hear from judicial candidate, Efrain Aceves, who is running for seat 42 against Alicia Molina. We heard from his opponent in May and July, you may recall.

So, please come to hear from these two speakers or to enjoy the company of like-minded Democrats or just come for the delicious homemade goodies.  Join us early at 2:00 pm and socialize with other Democrats.

Whatever your reason for attending, we hope to see you at the library on the 18th .

Note:  Our previous announcement included State Senator Ben Allen on our agenda, but his office had to cancel for this meeting.
