Rising Antisemitism and How We Address It is a topic to be presented by two regional leaders of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) during an online Community Forum on Saturday, March 11 at 7 p.m. via Zoom.

Antisemitism in the United States has spiked 34 percent since 2021, according to the ADL. Dan Meisel, Regional Director of the organization's Santa Barbara/Tri-Counties Office, will talk about some unique aspects of contemporary antisemitism, factors contributing to its recent resurgence, and how to wield truth in response to its various iterations.

"Antisemitism is, at its core, a conspiracy theory, and its recent resurgence coincides with a disturbing proliferation of conspiracies and political agendas," Meisel said about the message he will present.

Mark Goldstein, chair of the ADL Santa Barbara/Tri-Counties Regional Board, will talk about local efforts against antisemitic bigotry and hate.

Meisel was a First Amendment and general litigation attorney before assuming his role at the regional Anti-Defamation League office serving Ventura, Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties. Goldstein is an intellectual property attorney at SoCal IP Law Group with offices in Westlake Village and Santa Barbara.

The Community Forum is a program of Chalice Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Conejo Valley. The event is free by registering for a Zoom link at forum.chaliceuu.org. Donations are welcome to support the forums. For information, visit the Community Forum website or contact Randall Edwards by e-mail at forum@chaliceuu.org or through the church office at (805) 498-9548.

Award-winning PEN literary journalist Kathleen Sharp will discuss literary journalism, a popular form of telling true stories, at the next AWC-SB meeting scheduled for March 8, 5:30 to 7 p.m., at Work Zones, 351 Paseo Nuevo, Santa Barbara. Using examples from her own work for the New York Times, NPR, and TV platforms, she’ll reveal the elements that make a story great and that, ideally, deliver hope and sometimes justice.

As a contributor to ProPublica, Kathleen is currently writing about how looted art gets into public museums. Her groundbreaking story about a California rainmaker (whose case was the plot for the movie Erin Brockovich) will soon be featured in CNBC’s hit series American Greed. She’s also working with the producers of the HBO hit Tokyo Vice to adapt her bestselling book, Mr. and Mrs. Hollywood (Carroll & Graf), into a limited series – while writing her next book, a true tale about a teenage POW who won the Olympics for his captors.

The Santa Barbara Maritime Museum (SBMM) presents “Global History and the California Missions: A Sea Story” with author, artist, educator, and native Californian Janet Dowling Sands on Thursday, March 16, 2023 at 7:00. This beautifully illustrated presentation will explain how the missions were inextricably linked to global maritime history and prehistory, including the latest research on the origins of California’s indigenous people, whose ancestors came to the Americas thousands of years before the first European soldiers and missionaries arrived.

Cost is free for SBMM’s Navigator Circle Members, $10 for all other members, and $20 for members of the public. There will also be a pre-lecture reception for members only from 6:15-6:45pm. Register at: https://sbmm.org/santa-barbara-event/ and become a member at https://sbmm.org.

About the Speaker
Janet Sands, author of On a Mission: The Real Story of the California Missions, has developed a unique perspective on history—shaped by extensive research and by many years of engagement with educators, scientists and historians. She is a California native with a degree in Art History from the University of California, Berkeley. She is a lifelong student of history, art, and the natural world, and a collector of American regional art. She is currently working to complete her next book, Collision of Cultures: A Traveler’s History of the American Southwest.

This event is generously sponsored by Marie L. Morrisroe.
