Free tickets; https://commonwealthclub.org/events/2022-12-09/addressing-youth-mental-health-equitable-path-forward
Join us for an end-of-year discussion with youth activists about mental health. We'll discuss how youth mental heath experiences can lead to mental health advocacy, specifically state-level advocacy and philanthropic funding. Only 2 percent of philanthropic dollars currently goes toward mental health funding, and many youth advocates are calling for more equitable use of philanthropic contributions in mental health initiatives. We'll also discuss how many youth have personal experiences with mental health that fuels their current passions.

Who is Putin? Can you get inside his head? Join Andrew Weiss, author of ACCIDENTAL CZAR: THE LIFE AND LIES OF VLADIMIR PUTIN, in San Francisco 12/8.
Tickets: https://www.commonwealthclub.org/events/2022-12-08/andrew-weiss-who-vladimir-putin
Who is Vladimir Putin? In the West’s collective imagination, Putin is a deceitful cartoon villain, constantly plotting to destroy his enemies not only in Ukraine but around the world. But how did a mid-level KGB officer become one of the most powerful leaders in Russian history? Russian expert Andrew Weiss chronicles Putin's political rise and reveals the truth behind the persona that Putin has spent his career cultivating. Weiss offers a compelling look at the myths surrounding Putin as a take-no-prisoners political mastermind and exposes who is really behind the façade.

Today, President Joe Biden congratulated Nancy Pelosi on her historic run as House Speaker and leader of House Democrats. Speaker Pelosi has spoken at the Club many times, but today we remember a 2019 program with her daughter, Christine Pelosi, who explained how her mother did it.

Nancy Pelosi (D–CA) is one of the most successful leaders to ever wield the gavel as speaker of the United States House of Representatives. Under her leadership, Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act and are now championing a for the people agenda. People have spent a lifetime studying how Pelosi uses power and negotiation, but no one understands her better than her own daughter Christine Pelosi.
