[Charlie Welch]

*New webinar series on Syria begins Wednesday at 1pm. Register now*

We are delighted to announce that on March 25, we’ll be launching a 
web-based educational program, *“Commonsense on Syria.”* This series of 
10 webinar sessions aims to expand the discourse on Syria here in the 
United States (and elsewhere) by presenting interactive, web-based panel 
discussions among people with real expertise on Syria. Our panelists 
will represent a range of views, including views that have been un- or 
under-represented in Western corporate media over the past decade.

“Commonsense On Syria” will run biweekly, on Wednesdays and Saturdays, 
from March 25 through April 25. /*Each session will start at 1 pm New 
York Time and will last 45-60 minutes. */

The full schedule of the 10 sessions is given below. *Registration is 
required for each session*: it is currently open for the first two 
sessions. Click on the links to register:
