Hi Gary,
I hope this finds you well! Below is an invite I'd like to pass along to Sec. Bernhardt for September 10 - can you please help out?
Best,
Nate
Dear Secretary Bernhardt,
In September and October, the Federalist Society's Regulatory Transparency Project is hosting four virtual discussion panels to mark the upcoming release of our new documentary, They Say It Can't Be Done. The film highlights some of the many regulatory barriers to innovation through real-life stories. I was hoping you would be interested in joining a panel discussion related to the movie, titled The Future of Our Seas on September 10 at 7pm ET?
Background
They Say It Can't Be Done (TSICBD) is our full-length documentary movie which looks at innovative solutions to four global problems:
Hunger and Animal Welfare & Cell Cultured Meat
Global Warming & Carbon Capture

Sept/Oct Virtual Events
We've now concluded that an in-person premiere for the movie is unlikely anytime soon. But we are very excited to host virtual events which will be a unique series in extraordinary times. We are bringing together innovative entrepreneurs, regulatory experts, noted academics, and intellectuals for four robust, 90 minute discussions about creative, bipartisan solutions to global challenges to our shared future. They will be:
The Future of Our Seas - Sept. 10th The Future of Our Health - Sept. 17th The Future of Our Earth - Sept. 24th The Future of Our Food - Oct. 1st All RSVPed attendees will be emailed a watermarked link of the film prior to the event. The film will set the tone for these panels but they will not primarily be about discussing the film; rather, the film will serve as a starting point for our discussion of the ideas and issues addressed through the featured stories.
Invitation to Join the Panel on 9/10
We would be honored to have you join the panel discussion for The Future of Our Seas on September 10 at 7pm ET. We think you would be a great addition to the conversation between a high profile gathering of experts/officials.
Happy to answer any questions or concerns at your convenience!
Best,
Nate
