Angelic Young
Angelic Young is Director of Training for Law Enforcement at the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Since joining the ADL in September, she designed and launched a new training curriculum: Managing Implicit Bias for Law Enforcement. Several hundred law enforcement professionals have taken this training since ADL rolled out the curriculum in late 2017; 85 percent of participants to date report that they feel better equipped to manage the impact of implicit bias on their law enforcement work. Over the next year, Young will be working with ADL staff to update and enhance several other training curricula—all organized around core values, procedural justice, trust and legitimacy, and inclusive policing—across the United States.


Before joining ADL, Young spent six years at the Institute for Inclusive Security counseling government leaders on the creation, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation of national action plans (NAPs) to implement UN Security Council Resolution 1325. NAPs are detailed strategies aimed at advancing women’s inclusion in peace and security and reducing the global gender gap. Young worked with multiple governments, including Jordan, Finland, Liberia, Canada, and the United States.


Young spent the bulk of the first ten years of her career as a frontline civilian at the Department of State, Bureau for International Narcotics and Law Enforcement. There, she led police training and criminal justice reform programs in conflict-affected countries including Afghanistan and Haiti. She took one year off from INL to work in the Office of the Director of Foreign Assistance, serving as the senior coordinator for Peace and Security. In that role, she coordinated all security assistance for the Department of State.


Young also served as an adjunct faculty member at George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government for the past eleven years, teaching a graduate-level course titled, “International Police and the Rule of Law.”


Young is a Class of 2013 Security Fellow at Truman National Security Project, where she has been involved with the Women, Peace, and Security work. At TruCon18, Young was awarded Member of the Year. She has a JD from Chicago-Kent College of Law and BA from Willamette University. She grew up in Puyallup, Washington, and misses real mountains dearly.

October 2018: Truman's Annual Awards Dinner


TruCon18
From 01 to 03 June, Truman Center for National Policy and Truman National Security Project hosted our annual conference, TruCon18, in Washington, DC. This year, in the midst of new threats at home, abroad, and to America’s leadership on the world stage, Truman saw the opportunity to reassert what a strong, smart, and principled vision of national security can do for citizens of the United States and the world. After consider the state of the broader national security and political spaces, Truman also decided to pursue an all-female slate of speakers. Therefore, TruCon18 became a conference not on women in national security and politics, but on the idea that a full program on issues in national security and politics can easily feature only the expertise and experience of women.


On Friday, 01 June, we opened the conference to members of the broader progressive movement, national security field, and press, so that we could all hear from leaders inside and outside our community who live and lead with their values at the local, state, and national levels. The day featured Kathleen H. Hicks, who is the Senior Vice President, Henry A. Kissinger Chair, and Director of International Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, to talk about the national security landscape in 2018. Former EPA Administrator Gina McCarthy also joined us to discuss the security implications of climate change, especially with the current administration.

We also heard from three members of the Truman community who shared what we call their “stories of self”: Andrea Marr, A’shanti Gholar, and Camille Stewart. Each shared their unique paths towards working alongside Truman on the issues they care about. On Saturday and Sunday, our members convened for trainings, presentations, and panels to build on their expertise, sharpen their skills, and expand their perspectives on areas such as journalism, denuclearization in North Korea, special elections, the Russia investigation, and inclusive organizing tactics. We also hosted the hosts of the podcast Bombshell for an off-the-record conversation about current foreign policy and defense issues facing the United States.


We want to thank all of our sponsors who made this event such a great success: Chair of Truman National Security Project John Driscoll; Chair of Truman Center for National Policy Greg Craig; and Truman board members Robert Abernethy, Alvin Loshak, Connie Pillich, Anne Wedner, and Peter and Judy Kovler. We also want to thank our wonderful institutional partners who make this event and all things Truman possible: the Sandler Foundation, Open Society Foundation, Carnegie Corporation of New York, MacArthur Foundation, Compton Foundation, David Rockefeller Fund, Ploughshares Fund, Caldera Foundation, and Exec Online. Thank you as well to our friends to Truman: Nat Kraemer, Ira Lechner, and Bob Nelson. And finally, a special thank you to our official transportation sponsor, Lyft. Thank you all
so much for your contributions, which enabled the Truman community to come together and inspire each other to continue the fight.

Response to Hurricane Maria shows the need to fully enfranchise the people of Puerto Rico , by Scott Olson, Truman Political Partner


Thanks to a recently released study by Harvard, we know now that the death toll as a result of Hurricane Maria was much, much higher than originally reported. The failures that gave rise to such a massive loss of life are, in no small part, the progeny of congressional inaction on the question of Puerto Rican statehood.

, It’s Time to Make Concrete Plans for a National Infrastructure Bank, by David DeCarlo , Truman Security Fellow


The United States has a large gap between spending on infrastructure and estimated infrastructure needs, falling behind countries like China, Japan, and Canada. There’s now a small window of opportunity to create an independent national infrastructure bank so that we can make wise investments in our country’s future.

The next steps for North Korea’s nuclear weapons , featuring Laicie Heeley, Truman Political Partner


The summit between President Trump and North Korean dictator was a first step. After all, if we are talking about a process of full and complete denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula—the kind of process that the Trump Administration says it is pursuing—we have to understand that this will take a very long time.

He’s anti-immigrant and is a Trump nominee , by Coda Rayo-Garza, Truman Political Partner


Ronald Mortensen—President Trump’s nominee for Assistant Secretary of State for Population, Refugees, and Migration—does not support DACA, pushes rhetoric that criminalizes undocumented people, and is a fellow at a white nationalist institution. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee must not approve Mortensen’s nomination to lead a critical department within our diplomatic apparatus.

Separating children from their parents isn’t just immoral. It also threatens our national security , by Kendyl Salcito and Steven Leach, Truman Security Fellows


The government’s policy puts the United States at risk, in both the short and long term, by breeding a generation of children with psychological problems and a population elsewhere that reviles us. After all, traumatized children are prime recruits for extremist groups.
