You're invited to Fitch Solutions upcoming US: Potential For A Contested Election webinar. The US presidential election in November 2020 will take place amid the continuing effects of a global pandemic that has upended the global economy and heightened already volatile political environments. The outcome will have significant implications for the US and the globe, as it could result in a continuation of the unilateral, nationalist policies pursued by President Donald Trump, or a return to the centre-left, internationalist policies promoted by Democratic challenger Joe Biden. In this webinar, we will give an overview of our core view and major risk scenarios for the election and how we expect those outcomes will impact the US policy environment, its economic growth outlook and key international relationships. I will be hosting this webinar on Wednesday, 23rd September 2020 at 14:30 London | 09:30 New York and I hope you can join us. The key discussion topics of the webinar will be: Core and risk scenarios for the US general election Implications on the political and business environment Economic growth scenarios following election Key international political implications of the election You will also have the chance to participate in a live Q&A session where you can pose any questions you may have. Places are offered free of charge and attendance on the day will be on a first come first served basis, with limited  available - so please register now.

We will celebrate Brazil’s Independence by having an in-depth discussion with Dr. Jerry Dávila, Jorge Paulo Lemann Chair in Brazilian History at the University of Illinois. He will explore the historical context of the declaration within the Portuguese empire, place Brazil’s independence in the context of the Americas, the relevance of the constitution, implications for slavery, and the relevance for modern Brazil. We hope you will join us for this dynamic discussion with one of the top scholars in Brazilian History.

Protecting the right to vote is one of the strongest ways we can make sure everyone's voice is heard -- especially right now, while some of those in power are discouraging voting.

Let me be clear, the right to vote shouldn't be a partisan issue. And voting by mail shouldn't, either. Voting by mail will be critical to efforts to make sure that voting is safe during the pandemic. So right now, everyone should be able to request an absentee ballot and feel confident that their vote will be counted.

But we're seeing an unprecedented attempt to undermine the U.S. Postal Service at a time when more Americans than ever will need to use mail-in ballots.

This isn't a coincidence.

And that's why more than 35,000 All On The Line supporters have called for congressional action to save the Postal Service. As All On The Line helps drive more grassroots calls, emails, and tweets demanding senators support essential funding for the USPS, will you chip in to support these accountability efforts?

These attacks on our postal service -- a constitutionally established public good -- are just another form of voter suppression. And we can't let it go unchallenged.
