SUMMARY:18th Annual Malcolm X Jazz Arts Festival
DESCRIPTION:18th annual Malcolm X Jazz Arts Festival\nSaturday\, May 19\, 2018 San Antonio Park\nNoon-7pm FREE \nAs we all gather together at this annual festival to regroup\, to build\, to feed our souls\, and to acquire knowledge we embrace the theme for this year’s festival: A cultural reconstruction for third world self-determination. * \nAs a Third World organization we understand that the key path to justice\, democracy and equality in the U.S. is based on the struggle for Black & Brown unity. Our strength then must connect with liberation struggles in Mexico/ Latin America and the African Diaspora. This is what Malcolm X understood and advocated when he spoke of the Third World nations and peoples. \nWe call for Black & Brown unity as a pivotal force for self-determination especially in these mad times of a resurgent white supremacist offensive. Black & Brown unity not only in our neighborhoods but also across the globe to reconnect our lives\, our struggles\, our cultures with Mexico\, Latin America and the African Diaspora… To strengthen our historic ties and collective memories… our art and music\, we need a new cultural consciousness to reconstruct a demented social order and to wake up America. \n*CULTURAL RECONSTRUCTION: To rebuild and reclaim revolutionary Third World consciousness\, values\, memory and traditions of struggle and creativity to make a just\, righteous and egalitarian society. \nAs always we are celebrating jazz and it’s roots and future in Black communities. The line up features some of the best and the brightest; the most promising; the legendary; some new on the scene; some who have years of knowledge and grace… \nJazz Stage:\nFederick Douglass Youth Ensemble of the Oakland Public Conservatory of Music (OPC)\nTahree Amir\nJennifer Johns\nHoward Wiley Quartet \nKatherine Dunham Dance Stage:\nGirl Project\nDana Fitchett\nChris Babingui\nSambaFunk! Funkquarians w/ King Theo \nDream Courts:\nA special Tribute to Pam the Funkstress at the Graffiti Court\nBlack book Battles with TDK\nStencil Workshop with Nancypili\nLino Printing with Amor Eterno\nYouth Wall’s (first come first serve)\nLive Painting with Special Guest\nSol Development\nMelissa Jones\nDC dj\nIlla\nSurprise Guest Performances \nJavad Jahi Stage Poets:\nTanea Lunsford Lynx\nThea Matthews\nTureeda Mickell\nA’aron Heard\nQR Hand \nDJs:\naebldee\nLadyRyan \nand many of your favorite local artists\, artisans and food vendors and updates on the East Oakland Black Cultural Zone (BCZ)

SUMMARY:Righteous Resistance Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Join PICO California for the 2018 Righteous Resistance Symposium\, May 18-19th. \n\nFriday begins at 6pm with FELLOWSHIP + LIVE CONCERT with Sol Development! Gather to celebrate and heal\, across RACE + FAITH + DIFFERENCE. Amazing music with amazing people.\nSaturday begins at 8am with LEARNING + PANELS + BREAKOUTS for skill building around responding to state violence\, racist attacks\, ice raids and organizing through poor peoples campaign\, digital organizing\, and electoral work. It’s FREE\, but we need you to register!\n\nWe face a current political and social climate that continues to belie black humanity – where\, without impunity\, a young black man can be followed into his grandmother’s backyard and shot in the back six times out of the 20 shots fired at him. \nWill we stand on the sideline or will we join the important struggle that Black Americans & many others daily endure to live free from racism\, violence & terror? \nWe believe we are called to lean into a ministry and theology of resistance\, reclaiming the hope and power inherent in our prophetic faiths\, giving us courage and healing for the days ahead. \nThere are many different ways that your congregation and community can enter into solidarity with us. \nThere will be a time of celebration and fellowship\, and training around resisting State Violence\, ICE Raids\, 2018 Election\, Digital Organizing\, and the Poor Peoples Campaign Workshops. \nWe are inviting you to wrestle with the principalities and powers that manifest themselves in racial prejudice\, systemic evil and violence\, and religious apathy and complicity. \nWe need you here; it is our duty to fight for freedom! \nRegister today! Space is Limited. \n(En Espanol Translation provided) \n(Childcare and Food provided)

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

Woodson founded the celebration he called “Negro History Week” in 1926. Dr. Woodson selected the second week of February for the celebration because it fell between the birthdays of the famed orator and abolitionist Frederick Douglass and President Abraham Lincoln. In 1976\, the celebration expanded to include the entire month of February. Today\, Black History Month is celebrated across the United States by people of all ethnic and social backgrounds. At Pacific\, it is observed during a monthlong celebration in February organized by Pacific’s Black History Month Planning Committee.
