As President of the Júlio Karolino Institute, Fernanda develops initiatives focused on education, citizenship, a culture of peace, and human development. This experience led to the creation of the EVA Ecosystem®, an initiative focused on preventing violence before it occurs through education, awareness, and the development of protection networks as tools for social transformation.
The EVA Forum – Education Against Violence, Abuse and Harassment will take place on August 19, 2026, at 7:00 p.m., at the Santos City Council, Santos, São Paulo, Brazil, marking the city as a Host City for an initiative designed to expand the discussion on preventing different forms of violence through education, awareness, and collaboration among different sectors of society.
The Forum is an initiative of the Júlio Karolino Institute | EVA Ecosystem® and has as its central theme: “Education as a means of preventing all forms of violence in society.”
The Baixada Santista edition will also feature the Women Who Inspire – Baixada Santista tribute, recognizing women who stand out for their achievements, leadership, professional careers, entrepreneurship, and social commitment.
The tribute is intended to be integrated into the Forum’s purpose: recognizing people who create positive role models and demonstrating that stories of leadership, education, respect, and transformation can also serve as tools for preventing violence.
What is the EVA Ecosystem®?
The EVA Ecosystem® was created with a broad approach to addressing violence through prevention, education, and the development of protection networks.
More than an event or campaign, EVA is designed as an ecosystem for mobilization and collaboration, bringing together public authorities, institutions, educators, specialists, families, young people, and civil society.
Its approach is based on a shift in perspective: not waiting for violence to happen before taking action.
The initiative is based on the idea that educating, informing, developing awareness, strengthening relationships, and creating protection networks are concrete forms of prevention.
The EVA Ecosystem also broadens the perspective on the different forms of violence present in society, seeking to promote a culture of respect, support, responsibility, and peace.
The Host City Strategy
One of the project's distinguishing features is the Host City concept.
The proposal is to take the Forum to different municipalities, turning each city that hosts the initiative into a territory for dialogue, mobilization, and collaboration.
The Host City model has already been developed in different municipalities, including São Paulo, São Bernardo do Campo, and Guarujá, as well as other cities that have hosted EVA Forum editions and initiatives.
This trajectory demonstrates that the proposal is not limited to a one-time event, but is gradually building a network of municipalities engaged in violence prevention, education, and social collaboration.
A Host City is not simply the location where an event takes place. It becomes part of a network of cities committed to violence prevention, encouraging connections among local leaders, public authorities, institutions, professionals, and civil society.
In this context, Santos represents an important stage in the expansion of the EVA Ecosystem®, bringing the initiative to the Baixada Santista region and creating new opportunities for regional collaboration.

| WEEKLY BRIEFING First New Naval Shipyard in 80 Years, Prescription Drug Prices Record 60-Year Low, Apple Opens U.S. Manufacturing Center in Houston, and Federal Cybercrime Powers Expanded On August 13, President Trump signed a National Security Presidential Memorandum directing the most significant naval expansion since the Reagan era. The order establishes the first new naval shipyard in more than 80 years, creates a dedicated submarine component repair center, and directs a comprehensive reorganization of Naval Sea Systems Command to address chronic delays and cost overruns. The administration’s “Finland model” permits foreign shipbuilders to temporarily construct vessels in their home shipyards while investing in American facilities and training American workers — a rapid-scaling pathway that complements the nearly $9 billion already allocated for arctic security cutters and a sweeping buildup of new submarines, destroyers, and aircraft carriers. Also on August 13, President Trump signed a proclamation imposing new tariffs on drones and their components — 100% on large drones or those equipped with thermal imaging, and 25% on smaller commercial drones — protecting U.S. national security and accelerating domestic drone manufacturing. The administration simultaneously released “The Great Transshipment Scam,” a bombshell report exposing how foreign adversaries, primarily China, have exploited third-country trade routes to disguise the origin of their goods and evade U.S. tariffs — undermining American trade enforcement and domestic industry for years. Prices continued to fall across the American economy. CPI declined in July, with prescription drug prices recording their steepest monthly drop in more than 60 years — powered by TrumpRx, executive actions on drug pricing, and renewed market competition. On August 13, Apple opened its Advanced Manufacturing Center in Houston, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick joining CEO Tim Cook for the ribbon cutting — a major milestone in Apple’s commitment to expand its U.S. manufacturing footprint. Stanley Black & Decker announced a $1 billion investment in American manufacturing and skilled trades workforce development, further building out the domestic industrial base. On August 12, President Trump signed a National Security Presidential Memorandum directing a sweeping federal effort to combat transnational cyber-enabled crime. Americans lost $20.8 billion to cyber fraud and scams in 2025 alone — 73% of U.S. adults experienced online scams. The NSPM creates a new cyber operations program through the Homeland Security Task Force, establishes private sector partnerships with vetted companies for disruption capabilities, and builds a real-time information-sharing framework across federal, state, and local agencies. The FBI, DOJ, and DHS are authorized to take direct action against foreign-based criminal organizations running ransomware, phishing, fraud, sextortion, and scam networks targeting Americans. The administration delivered a new wave of immigration enforcement actions. The Department of Justice sued New York, Connecticut, and Vermont for offering in-state college tuition to illegal aliens — challenging state policies that reward illegal immigration at the expense of lawful residents. The State Department revoked more than 175,000 visas belonging to foreign nationals arrested for fraud, theft, or drunk driving. And federal agents busted a New York City fraud scheme that engineered hundreds of sham marriages between Americans and Chinese nationals. The White House Government Transparency Task Force released two more bombshell document sets. “March Toll” reveals that the FBI secretly opened a criminal investigation into sitting Attorney General Jeff Sessions on the very same day President Trump fired Director James Comey — based on nothing more than a weeks-old letter from Democrat members of Congress and an article from a left-wing website. Sessions had already corrected the disputed Senate testimony, yet the FBI proceeded anyway. “Round River” exposes what the administration describes as the mirror-image operation to Crossfire Hurricane: a secret FBI and intelligence community effort to bury and discredit its own informants’ evidence of Biden family corruption during the 2020 election — actively suppressing credible leads while simultaneously pursuing years of disproven Russia collusion allegations against President Trump. Both document sets are now publicly available at whitehouse.gov/election-integrity. On August 10, Todd Blanche was sworn in as the 88th Attorney General of the United States, bringing new leadership to the Department of Justice. On August 14, President Trump issued Presidential Messages honoring the anniversary of America’s victory in World War II and the anniversary of the Social Security Act. President Trump also condemned the spray-painting of the World War II Memorial by vandals, calling it an unforgivable insult to American heroes. On August 12, he proclaimed National Substance Use Primary Prevention Month. And the FBI reported the results of one year of President Trump’s D.C. crime crackdown: more than 6,000 arrests and a 44% drop in the homicide rate. |

Largest Naval Expansion Since Reagan: First New Shipyard in Over 80 Years. On August 13, President Trump signed a National Security Presidential Memorandum launching the most ambitious naval expansion since the Reagan era. The order directs the establishment of the first new naval shipyard in more than 80 years and a new submarine component repair center, while ordering a comprehensive review and reorganization of Naval Sea Systems Command to fix chronic cost and schedule failures across six major programs. The NSPM adopts a “Finland model” that allows foreign shipbuilders to temporarily build ships in their home yards while investing capital in American facilities and training American workers for future domestic production. This builds on nearly $9 billion already committed for arctic security cutters and a sweeping buildup of new submarines, destroyers, and aircraft carriers — restoring U.S. naval dominance after decades of underfunding. Drone Tariffs and the Great Transshipment Scam Exposed. President Trump signed a proclamation on August 13 imposing tariffs on imported drones and their components to counter national security threats and build American drone manufacturing capacity. Drones over 25 kilograms or equipped with thermal imaging face a 100% tariff; smaller commercial drones face a 25% tariff. The Commerce Secretary is authorized to establish an onshoring program for companies that invest in domestic drone production. The same day, the White House released “The Great Transshipment Scam” — a detailed report documenting how foreign adversaries, primarily China, have routed goods through third countries to falsely certify their origin and evade U.S. tariffs. The report lays bare a years-long fraud against American trade law that has cost domestic manufacturers billions and hollowed out key supply chains. Drug Prices Hit 60-Year Low, Apple Opens in Houston, and Stanley Black & Decker Commits $1 Billion. The July CPI report confirmed that prescription drug prices recorded their sharpest monthly decline in more than 60 years — the most dramatic drop since before the Apollo missions — driven by President Trump’s executive actions, the TrumpRx program, and restored market competition. Inflation continued to ease, with gasoline and grocery prices also falling. On August 13, Apple opened its new Advanced Manufacturing Center in Houston, with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick joining CEO Tim Cook for the opening — a landmark step in Apple’s broader commitment to expand American manufacturing. Stanley Black & Decker announced a $1 billion U.S. investment to strengthen its domestic manufacturing footprint, drive innovation, and expand the skilled trades workforce that builds America’s infrastructure. Cybercrime Crackdown: $20.8 Billion Problem Gets Federal Firepower. On August 12, President Trump signed a National Security Presidential Memorandum directing the federal government’s most powerful new tool against online crime. Americans lost $20.8 billion to cyber-enabled fraud and scams in 2025 — 73% of U.S. adults experienced online scams, and one in seven young sextortion victims reported self-harm. The NSPM creates a new cyber operations program under the Homeland Security Task Force’s National Coordination Center, authorizes partnerships with vetted private sector companies to disrupt criminal networks, and establishes an information-sharing framework across federal, state, local, and tribal agencies. The FBI, DOJ, and DHS are now empowered to conduct targeted cyber operations against the foreign-based criminal organizations running these attacks — ransomware, phishing, fraud, sextortion, and mass scam campaigns — while maintaining full constitutional oversight. DOJ Sues Three States; 175,000+ Visas Revoked; New Election Integrity Documents Released. The Department of Justice filed suit against New York, Connecticut, and Vermont for offering in-state tuition to illegal aliens — state policies that reward illegal immigration at the direct expense of lawful residents and American taxpayers. The State Department revoked more than 175,000 visas belonging to foreign nationals who had been arrested for fraud, theft, or drunk driving. Federal agents dismantled a New York City sham marriage fraud scheme that provided hundreds of Chinese nationals with fraudulent immigration status. And the White House published two new election integrity document releases: “March Toll” reveals the FBI secretly opened a criminal probe into AG Sessions on the very day President Trump fired Director Comey, based solely on a weeks-old Democratic letter and a liberal news article; “Round River” exposes a secret FBI operation that buried evidence of Biden family corruption during the 2020 election. Both join the Maricopa County Data Breach, Oxferd Comma, and other previously classified materials now available at whitehouse.gov/election-integrity. New AG Sworn In, DC Homicides Down 44%, WWII Anniversary, and Vandals Hit the Memorial. On August 10, Todd Blanche was sworn in as the 88th Attorney General of the United States, bringing new leadership to the Department of Justice as the administration advances its law enforcement agenda. The FBI announced that one year into President Trump’s Washington, D.C. crime crackdown, the results are undeniable: more than 6,000 arrests and a 44% drop in the homicide rate. On August 14, President Trump issued Presidential Messages honoring the anniversary of America’s victory in World War II and the anniversary of the Social Security Act. On August 12, he proclaimed National Substance Use Primary Prevention Month. And the President condemned the spray-painting of the World War II Memorial by vandals — calling it an unforgivable insult to the Americans who gave their lives for freedom and vowing law enforcement is on their trail. |

60-Yr Prescription drug prices recorded their sharpest monthly decline in more than 60 years in July — the most dramatic drop since before the Apollo missions — driven by President Trump’s executive actions on drug pricing, the TrumpRx program, and the return of real competition to America’s pharmaceutical industry. |

Today is President Obama’s birthday! As he celebrates another trip around the sun, I know what my friend is thinking: How many more young leaders can we lift up through the work of The Obama Foundation? What life-changing programs can we power even further? How can we inspire every visitor who comes to the Obama Presidential Center to bring change home? |
|
|
Your support will go directly towards the cause closest to President Obama’s heart: investing in emerging leaders and empowering them to change the world. |

Barack’s 65th birthday is just a few days away! As my husband turns another year older, I’m reminded that the journey we started all those years ago is far from over. In fact, in many ways, it’s just beginning. Not only is this a milestone birthday for Barack, but it’s also a milestone year for The Obama Foundation! With the opening of the Obama Presidential Center in Chicago, we’re marking a new chapter in our mission—empowering folks from all over the world to bring change home. Birthdays have a way of marking time. But they also give us a chance to recommit ourselves to the values we believe in, to the people we care about, and to the work still left to do. I know you share Barack’s vision for a brighter, more just future—and I hope you will help us celebrate his birthday by making a gift to The Obama Foundation today. |
|

Over the years, I have seen Barack pour his time and energy into lifting up our nation’s young people. So I know the most meaningful birthday gift you can give is to help grow The Obama Foundation’s programs, including the My Brother’s Keeper Alliance and the Girls Opportunity Alliance. These programs fund scholarships and provide opportunities to young people around the globe. So when you make your special birthday gift today, you’ll be supporting the next generation of leaders who will go on to build a better world. Please give the gift of change this year by donating to celebrate Barack’s milestone birthday. Warmly,
Michelle |
