5. VETERANS DAY EVENT WITH CONGRESSMAN LIEU
Congressman Lieu’s
CONVERSATIONS WITH VETERANS
Dear Friend,
I would like to invite you to attend “Conversations With Veterans” my annual Veteran Appreciation event to listen to veterans tell the community their experiences about serving their country in peace time and in war. The event is on Sunday, November 10, 2019 at 1:30 p.m. at the Rose Garden, which is on the West Los Angeles Veterans Affairs Campus.
This unique event is a community forum that aims to establish a greater understanding between local veterans and the friends and neighbors for whom they fought and served. In the tradition of warrior storytelling, veterans are invited to describe the pride, grief, rage, or quiet appreciation of life that service in the Armed Forces bestowed upon them. The role of non-veterans will be to attend, to listen, and to learn.
A gathering like this town hall will allow members of our district to learn about the complexities of war and acquire a better appreciation for our veterans who served. Staff will be on hand to offer casework assistance to Veterans and other community members who need help with a Federal agency.
I would be grateful if you, your friends, and family would join me for this special event. To RSVP, please go to https://ca33vettalks.eventbrite.com
Sincerely,
Ted W. Lieu
Member of Congress

11. UPCOMING COMMUNITY EVENTS
What Would Reparations Look Like? – Tuesday, Nov. 12, 2019 at 7:30 PM at the Hammer Museum. The idea of reparations for black slavery has gained increased traction recently, through prominent pieces in national media, a Congressional hearing, and even in the 2020 presidential campaigns. This panel explores tangible proposals that might also represent, in the words of Ta-Nehisi Coates, a “national reckoning that would lead to spiritual renewal.” UCLA history professor Brenda Stevenson moderates a conversation with history and education professor V.P. Franklin and labor economist and author Julianne Malveaux. Click here for more information.
