SUMMARY:Tim Wise on White Privilege: Uprooting Racism\, Privilege and Institutional Inequity Organizer
DESCRIPTION:Lincoln Training Institute is excited to announce that Tim Wise\, prominent anti-racist essayist and educator\, will provide an opportunity to examine what it means to be white in a nation created for the benefit of those who are “white like him\,” and how privilege seeps into every institutional arrangement\, from education to employment to the justice system. \nTim Wise\, whom scholar and philosopher Cornel West calls\, “A vanilla brother in the tradition of (abolitionist) John Brown\,” is among the nation’s most prominent anti-racist essayists and educators. He has spent the past 25 years speaking to audiences in all 50 states\, on over 1000 college and high school campuses\, at hundreds of professional and academic conferences\, and to community groups across the nation. He has also lectured internationally in Canada and Bermuda\, and has trained corporate\, government\, law enforcement and medical industry professionals on methods for dismantling racism in their institutions. \nWise’s antiracism work traces back to his days as a college activist in the 1980s\, fighting for divestment from (and economic sanctions against) apartheid South Africa. After graduation\, he threw himself into social justice efforts full-time\, as a Youth Coordinator and Associate Director of the Louisiana Coalition Against Racism and Nazism: the largest of the many groups organized in the early 1990s to defeat the political candidacies of white supremacist and former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke. \nFrom there\, he became a community organizer in New Orleans’ public housing\, and a policy analyst for a children’s advocacy group focused on combating poverty and economic inequity. He has served as an adjunct professor at the Smith College School of Social Work\, in Northampton\, MA.\, and from 1999-2003 was an advisor to the Fisk University Race Relations Institute in Nashville\, TN. \nWise is the author of seven books\, including his highly-acclaimed memoir\, White Like Me: Reflections on Race from a Privileged Son\, as well as Dear White America: Letter to a New Minority\, and his latest\, Under the Affluence: Shaming the Poor\, Praising the Rich and Sacrificing the Future of America. He has contributed chapters or essays to over 25 additional books and his writings are taught in colleges and universities across the nation. His essays have appeared on Alternet\, Salon\, Huffington Post\, Counterpunch\, Black Commentator\, BK Nation\, Z Magazine and The Root\, which recently named Wise one of the “8 Wokest White People We Know.” \n  \nTickets available $35-60\, http://bit.ly/2xEVhJr \nLincoln Training Institute: http://lincolnfamilies.org/

SUMMARY:Where Do We Go From Here? A Conversation with Attorney John L. Burris
DESCRIPTION:WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE? A conversation with Attorney John L. Burris\, moderated by Renee Kemp \nProtecting OUR Civil Rights: Extremism\, Hate Speech\, Voting Rights\, Disenfranchisement\, Police Brutality and Anti-Colin Kaepernick sentiments: \nThis event is FREE with limited seating. RSVP required \nAcclaimed Civil Rights Attorney John L. Burris is the featured subject of a moderated discussion to illuminate the weight of injustice in this current climate of civil and racial unrest. Following a two-term US presidency of the first African American to hold the office—today–it appears many want to return to the era of Jim Crow segregation. \nJohn L. Burris has practiced law for more than 40 years. He is primarily known for his work in the areas of Civil Rights with an emphasis on police misconduct excessive force cases raising federal questions under Federal Code Section 1983. Proceeds benefit The Chicago Reporter\, a nonprofit entity\, founded more than 40 years ago to be a watchdog for racial and economic justice. \n“Racial peace and progress are more than moral ideals today\,” co-editors John A. McDermott and Lillian Calhoun wrote in July 1972. “They are matters of profound self-interest to every person and institution in this community.” \nA nonprofit media entity\, The Chicago Reporter\, was founded on the heels of The Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. TODAY\, it is a steady voice reporting on the impact of race and poverty on vulnerable communities. \nThis important work must continue—YOUR SUPPORT IS CRITICAL. Donations to The Chicago Reporter are requested \nRSVP by Aug. 19th\nSandra Varner-VarnerPR\nvarnerpr@sbcglobal.net\n510-910-5652

SUMMARY:Preserve\, Improve\, and Expand Social Security Rally
DESCRIPTION:Social Security is alive and well now\, but just like Medicaid and Medicare\, Social Security is under attack. We must defend it. Join us on Social Security’s 82 birthday to celebrate it\, and re-dedicate ourselves to defend and improve Social Security and all these vital programs. \nMonday\, August 14\, 12 Noon\, in Oakland’s Frank Ogawa Plaza\nBroadway and 14th St\, 12th St BART Station. \nRally and Two-Block March to Federal Building \nConfirmed Speakers to date: \n\nAlex Lawson: Executive Director\, Social Security Works\nNorman Solomon: Author\, Columnist\, Activist\n\nOver its 82 years\, Social Security has provided income and dignity for hundreds of millions of retirees and people with disabilities\, their spouses and children\, and for deceased workers’ spouses and children. For two thirds of seniors\, it’s over half their income. Half of women and people with disabilities would be in poverty without Social Security. Almost 10% of children get it. We will NOT go back to the days of workhouses! \nSocial Security is the nation’s most effective anti-poverty program\, yet it is entirely funded by we who work for a living\, through FICA deductions from our paychecks\, and by our employers. Not a cent comes from the government. In fact\, our $2.8 Trillion Social Security Trust Fund is invested in loans to help the government run. Those loans must be repaid to Social Security. It’s our program\, our money! Our past\, our future! \nFor years\, the same corporate and financial vultures who eliminated defined-benefit employee pensions have also tried to destroy Social Security. Their hedge-fund crooks like Peter Peterson put out fake studies to undermine people’s faith in Social Security. Their official Commissions\, like Bowles/Simpson recommend: Raising the Retirement age. Cutting benefits and cost-of-living increases. Worst of all\, turning Social Security into private individual accounts for each recipient\, invested in risky Wall Street stock market accounts with expensive management fees. Instead of having a unified program of collectively-guaranteed economic security for everyone\, we’d be individuals at the mercy of Wall Street’s insider trading and boom-and-bust whims. \nNow\, the Trump administration wants to eliminate the payroll tax\, which is the financial foundation of Social Security. And Trump’s 2018 budget calls for $64 Billion in cuts over the next ten years to Social Security Disability Insurance\, an integral part of Social Security. Most of these “savings” would come from reduced future enrollment because of new work requirements. \nWe have a different plan: Scrap the $127\,000 cap and make the rich pay Social Security tax on all their income. Raise benefits to cover actual cost of living and disappearing pensions. Enact a realistic cost-of-living formula. Provide benefits for time caring for young children. Restore student benefits for children of deceased or disabled covered parents. \nWe must remember that our parents\, grandparents\, and great-grandparents won Social Security in the mid-1930s\, the depths of the Great Depression\, when everything looked stacked against us. Social Security must be preserved\, improved\, and expanded. In the 1930s\, Roosevelt said “Make me do it!” We did. We can do it again. We must do it again! \nCalifornia Alliance for Retired Americans\, 510-663-4086\,\n600 Grand Ave\, Rm 410\, Oakland CA\, 94610\, californiaalliance.org \nFacebook Event Link

SUMMARY:Borders and Identity: Earl and Boswell Lectures 2017

It has been a major\, and divisive\, theme of national politics. \nHalfway through the first 100 days of Trump’s presidency\, join us for an engaging weekend of workshops\, worship\, direct action\, and community building. The conference will emphasize practical skills\, timely resources\, and a deeper analysis of the critical issues facing us at this moment. Our goal is to equip leaders to stand for justice with all those on the margins and borders. \nThis event is being held in conjunction with Pacific School of Religion’s Alumni/ae Reunion Weekend. Under the theme of “Borders and Identity\,” the Earl Lectures presented in partnership with our Center for LGBTQ and Gender Studies in Religion‘s Boswell Lecture. For more than a hundred years\, Pacific School of Religion (PSR) has hosted the Earl Lectures and Leadership Conference. \n \n  \n  \nThe keynote address will be delivered by Jose Antonio Vargas\, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist\, filmmaker\, immigration activist\, and founder of Define American.

SUMMARY:32nd Annual Empowering Womxn of Color Conference
DESCRIPTION:2017 Empowering Women of Color Conference | Unbound and Unboxed: Owning\, Asserting\, and Uplifting our Whole Selves \nKeynote Speaker: Ericka Huggins\nClosing Speaker: Fatima Asghar\n“Caring for myself is not self-indulgence\, it is self-preservation and that is an act of political warfare.” – Audre Lorde\nThe 32nd Annual Empowering Womxn of Color Conference\, “Unbound and Unboxed: Owning\, Asserting\, and Uplifting our Whole Selves” is designed to answer the call for collective healing issued by the ongoing state of racial\, political\, environmental\, and economic trauma. Through the legacy of Shirley Chisholm\, the first black congresswoman and first woman to run for president\, we know that “women in this country must become revolutionaries…and so we must prepare ourselves educationally\, economically\, and psychologically.” In her trailblazing 1970 presidential campaign\, Shirley Chisholm stood “unbought and unbossed.” At the 2017 Empowering Women of Color Conference we stand united; unbound and unboxed.\n \nThis year’s theme speaks to the need for collective care and affirmation as a means of preparation\, preservation\, and resistance. Now more than ever\, womxn of color can no longer afford to neglect ourselves while on the frontlines of global battles against social injustice. We must nurture and free ourselves from the limits and labels imposed on us\, so that we may move effectively on the path to liberation.\n \nThis year we aim to provide a space where womxn of color can come together to hear one another as we explore new imaginings of freedom and well-being. Through a series of innovative workshops\, radical healing spaces\, a panel discussion\, and speakers\, we will explore how we as womxn of color can preserve ourselves and our communities as we work towards changing the world. As we proudly celebrate 32 years of the Empowering Womxn of Color Conference\, we invite people of all ages\, abilities\, socioeconomic backgrounds\, immigration statuses\, gender identities\, sexual orientations\, nationalities\, religions\, and cultural backgrounds to use this as a safe-space for discussion\, community building\, and healing. \n  \nRegister today http://bit.ly/2lf3ZsL
