SUMMARY:Philadelphia: Defending Freedom:   How to Make Liberal Democracy Great Again
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Philadelphia Warburg Chapter of the ACG and the Heinrich Boell Foundation will host a discussion and luncheon with Ralf Fücks\, Managing Director of the Center for Liberal Modernity and Author of Defending Freedom: How We Can Win the Fight for an Open Society. \nRalf Fücks is Managing Director of the Center for Liberal Modernity\, a German thinktank which was founded in 2017. He came to this role after more than 20 years with the Heinrich Böll Stiftung\, the political foundation associated with the Greens. At the center of his work were green economics and ecological innovation\, migration\, the future of Europe and international politics. Before that he was co-chair of the Greens (1989/90) and Senator for Environment and City Development in Bremen. \nMr. Fücks is considered a leading thinker\, seeking cross-party discourse. He has published in leading newspapers\, gives speeches\, and participates in the public debate. Mr. Fücks is an advocate for liberal ecology politics\, which focus on innovation rather than prohibition. Of special importance to him is a dialogue with the economy\, which he considers an invaluable actor of a “green industrial revolution.” \nRalf Fücks is coordinator of the committee “Ecological Modernization” within the Petersburg Dialogue. Like Marieluise Beck he fights for democratic opposition in Russia\, Ukraine\, and other Eastern European countries. He is a convinced European and transatlanticist. \nThere is no charge to attend this event; you must register to attend.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]

SUMMARY:San Francisco: Remembering the Fall of the Berlin Wall:  From German Unity to a New Beginning
DESCRIPTION:[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The San Francisco Warburg Chapter will host a discussion and reception with Tobias David\, Chief of Staff to the Lord Mayor of Leipzig on “Remembering the Fall of the Berlin Wall: From German Unity to a New Beginning.” \nTobias David\, born in 1973\, grew up in Leipzig (former GDR/East Germany) and spent most of his school years under the conditions of the GDR dictatorship. Even as a teenager he was involved in opposition groups under the protection of the Catholic Church and became politically active early on. The Peaceful Revolution of 1989\, driven by the peace and civil rights movement\, had a lasting impact on his life. \nAfter studying political science and communication\, he worked for many years as managing director of a communications agency. In 2004 he moved to the Saxon State Parliament as advisor to the Vice-President. Since 2008\, he has been the closest strategic advisor to the Mayor of the City of Leipzig. The Peaceful Revolution of 1989 – which ultimately led to the fall of the Berlin Wall and the reunification of Germany – began in Leipzig. Today Leipzig is not only one of the largest cities in Germany but also the fastest growing German city. \nThis event is being held under the auspices of Deutschlandjahr USA 2018/2019 – the Year of German-American Friendship\, a comprehensive and collaborative initiative funded by the German Federal Foreign Office\, implemented by the Goethe-Institut\, and with support from the Federation of German Industries (BDI). For more information on the initiative and the more than 1\,000 projects that will take place between October 2018 and November 2019\, visit www.wunderbartogether.org.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
