     From Sept 18-26, tens of thousands of people are acting for a culture of peace and active nonviolence, free from war, poverty, racism, and environmental destruction. During Campaign Nonviolence Action Week, more than 4,391 actions and events will take place across the country and around the world. It is the largest, broadest Action Week since its inception in 2014. There will be marches, rallies, vigils, protests, demonstrations, prayer services, walks for peace, webinars, public talks, and more.

Family doctors and pediatricians are now being called to the front lines to create trust among these parents of children who can now be vaccinated.

     Morgan State University announced that researchers from its School of Computer, Mathematical and Natural Sciences (SCMNS) were awarded a five-year, $7.5-million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) to find the Center for Advanced Electro-Photonics with 2D Materials.
