SUMMARY:Images\, Memory\, and Justice with Bryan Stevenson
DESCRIPTION:Founder/executive director of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI) Bryan Stevenson is the featured speaker for the second event in Visualizing Abolition\, joining Gina Dent for a conversation about art\, culture\, and activism. \nBryan Stevenson \nImages\, Memory\, and Justice\nOctober 27\,2020\, 4-5:30 p.m.\nOnline event: Registration is required\nREGISTER HERE \nBryan Stevenson is a widely acclaimed public interest lawyer who has\, over the last two decades\, tirelessly worked to challenge the racial and economic injustices of mass incarceration in the United States. Stevenson has also been at the forefront of the creation of two cultural sites\, The Legacy Museum and The National Memorial for Peace and Justice. For Visualizing Abolition\, Stevenson will discuss how those institutions relate to his legal social justice initiatives. The wide-ranging conversation with Professor Dent will focus on the role images\, art\, and culture can have in how people see and understand the legacies of history\, as well as how re-envisioning history can enliven contemporary struggles against racial inequality and the criminal justice system. \nVisualizing Abolition is a series of online events organized in collaboration with Professor Gina Dent and featuring artists\, activists\, and scholars united by their commitment to the vital struggle for prison abolition. Originally\, Visualizing Abolition was being planned as an in-person symposium. Due to the ongoing pandemic\, the panels\, artist talks\, film screenings\, and other events will instead take place online. The events accompany Barring Freedom\, an exhibition of contemporary art on view at San José Museum of Art October 30\, 2020-March 21\, 2021. To accompany the exhibition\, Solitary Garden\, a public art project about mass incarceration and solitary confinement is on view at UC Santa Cruz. Barring Freedom travels to NYC John Jay College of Criminal Justice April 28-July 15\, 2021. \nBryan Stevenson is the founder and Executive Director of the Equal Justice Initiative (EJI)\, a human rights organization in Montgomery\, Alabama. Mr. Stevenson is a widely acclaimed public interest lawyer who has dedicated his career to helping the poor\, the incarcerated\, and the condemned. Under his leadership\, EJI has won major legal challenges eliminating excessive and unfair sentencing\, exonerating innocent death row prisoners\, confronting abuse of the incarcerated and the mentally ill\, and aiding children prosecuted as adults. Mr. Stevenson and his staff have won reversals\, relief or release from prison for over 135 wrongly condemned prisoners on death row and won relief for hundreds of others wrongly convicted or unfairly sentenced. Mr. Stevenson has argued and won multiple cases at the U.S. Supreme Court\, including a 2019 ruling protecting condemned prisoners who suffer from dementia and a landmark 2012 ruling that banned mandatory life-without-parole sentences for all children 17 or younger. Mr. Stevenson has initiated major new anti-poverty and anti-discrimination efforts that challenge inequality in America. He led the creation of two highly acclaimed cultural sites which opened in 2018\, The Legacy Museum and The National Memorial for Peace and Justice. The new national landmark institutions chronicle the legacy of slavery\, lynching and racial segregation and the connection to mass incarceration and contemporary issues of racial bias. Mr. Stevenson’s work has won him numerous awards including over 40 honorary doctorates\, the MacArthur Foundation “Genius” Prize and the ABA Medal\, the American Bar Association’s highest honor. He is a graduate of the Harvard Law School and the Harvard School of Government and the author of the award winning New York Times bestseller\, Just Mercy\, which was recently adapted as a major motion picture. \nGina Dent\, Associate Professor of Feminist Studies\, History of Consciousness\, and Legal Studies\, UCSC is a committed activist\, scholar\, and educator\, Dent’s current book project\, Prison as a Border and Other Essays\, grows out of her work as an advocate for human rights and prison abolition. She is the editor of Black Popular Culture\, and author of numerous articles on race\, feminism\, popular culture\, and visual art. \nVisualizing Abolition is organized by UC Santa Cruz Institute of the Arts and Sciences in collaboration with San José Museum of Art and Mary Porter Sesnon Art Gallery.

SUMMARY:Reimagining Community Safety #5: A Discussion with Barry Friedman
DESCRIPTION:Calls to reimagine community safety have been driven by the knowledge that\, for low-income communities of color\, at least\, policing inflicts harms that are consistent\, persistent\, and seemingly resistant to change. To help us imagine alternative approaches to policing that might significantly reduce the harms currently inherent in policing\, we have invited Barry Friedman\, Jacob D. Fuchsberg Professor of Law and Faculty Director of the Policing Project at New York University School of Law\, author of the forthcoming article\, “Disaggregating the Police Function.” \nWednesday\, October 21\, 2020\n4:30pm-5:45pm (Eastern)\nZoom Registration Link \nBarry Friedman serves as the Faculty Director of the Policing Project at New York University School of Law\, where he is the Jacob D. Fuchsberg Professor of Law and Affiliated Professor of Politics. The Policing Project is dedicated to strengthening policing through ordinary democratic processes; it drafts best practices and policies for policing agencies\, including on issues of technology and surveillance\, assists with transparency\, conducts cost-benefit analysis of policing practices\, and leads engagement efforts between policing agencies and communities. Friedman has taught\, litigated\, and written about constitutional law\, the federal courts\, policing\, and criminal procedure for over thirty years. He serves as the Reporter for the American Law Institute’s new Principles of the Law\, Policing. Friedman is the author of Unwarranted: Policing Without Permission (Farrar\, Straus and Giroux\, February 2017)\, and has written numerous articles in scholarly journals\, including on democratic policing\, alternatives to police responses to 911 calls\, and the Fourth Amendment. He appears frequently in the popular media\, including the New York Times\, Slate\, Huffington Post\, Politico and the New Republic. He also is the author of the critically acclaimed The Will of the People: How Public Opinion Has Influenced the Supreme Court and Shaped the Meaning of the Constitution (2009).

SUMMARY:Visualizing Abolition with Angela Y. Davis and Gina Dent
DESCRIPTION:Join Angela Y. Davis and Gina Dent\, noted antiprison activists\, scholars\, and educators\, for an online conversation about critical issues in the arts\, visual culture\, and abolition. This is the first in a series of events that questions what it means to think of abolitionism as a vision—one that challenges the social\, economic\, and political worldviews that prisons promote. \nVisualizing Abolition\nAngela Y. Davis and Gina Dent\nOctober 20\, 2020\, 4-5:30 p.m.\nOnline event:  Registration is required\nREGISTER HERE \nFor the 2020/21 academic year\, UC Santa Cruz Institute of the Arts and Sciences\, in collaboration with Professor Gina Dent\, feminist studies\, has organized a year-long series of online events featuring artists\, activists\, scholars\, and others united by their commitment to the vital struggle for prison abolition. Originally\, Visualizing Abolition was being planned as an in-person symposium\, bringing together artists\, lawyers\, scholars\, and other thinkers to challenge the dominant ways people see and understand issues of mass incarceration\, detention\, and policing in the United States and beyond. Due to the ongoing pandemic\, the panels\, artist talks\, film screenings\, and other events will now take place online\, emphasizing with ever more urgency the importance of envisioning alternatives to ongoing injustices. \nThe events of Visualizing Abolition accompany Barring Freedom\, a bi-coastal exhibition of art featuring Sonya Clark\, American Artist\, Dread Scott\, Deana Lawson\, Chandra McCormick and Keith Calhoun\, Sharon Daniel\, Sanford Biggers\, and other artists whose practices creatively confront the failure of many to see the racist biases within the criminal justice system or to comprehend the economic and social problems that the system serves to obscure. Barring Freedom will be on view at San José Museum of Art October 30\, 2020-March 21\, 2021. Simultaneously on view at UC Santa Cruz is Solitary Garden\, a public art project about mass incarceration and solitary confinement. Barring Freedom travels to NYC John Jay College of Criminal Justice April 28-July 15\, 2021. \nAngela Y. Davis\, Distinguished Professor Emerita of History of Consciousness and Feminist Studies\, UCSC\, is a renowned activist and scholar. For decades\, Dr. Davis has been at the forefront in our nation’s quest for economic\, racial\, and gender equality and social justice. She is the author of nine books\, including her most recent book of essays called The Meaning of Freedom. \nGina Dent\, Associate Professor of Feminist Studies\, History of Consciousness\, and Legal Studies\, UCSC is a committed activist\, scholar\, and educator\, Dent’s current book project\, Prison as a Border and Other Essays\, grows out of her work as an advocate for human rights and prison abolition.

SUMMARY:Andy Clarno and Sangeetha Ravichandran: "Counter/Surveillance: Big Data\, Criminalization\, and Abolition in Chicago"
DESCRIPTION:In an era of Big Data\, police databases transform racialized discourses about crime\, terror\, and belonging into permanent records with real implications for individuals and communities. This project examines Big Data policing as a site for the production\, circulation\, and deployment of racialized state knowledge. Yet abolitionist movements in Chicago are refusing criminalized archetypes and demanding an end to data sharing agreements. These movements help us envision a pathway to decriminalization and abolition through the erasure of police databases and the recovery of full humanity for people targeted by police. \nAndy Clarno is Associate Professor of Sociology and Black Studies and coordinator of the Policing in Chicago Research Group at the University of Illinois at Chicago. His research examines racism\, capitalism\, colonialism\, and empire in the early 21 st century\, with a focus on the relationship between marginalization and securitization. Andy teaches courses on globalization\, race and ethnicity\, policing\, and urban sociology. Andy’s book\, Neoliberal Apartheid (University of Chicago Press 2017)\, analyzes political\, economic\, and social transformation in South Africa and Palestine/Israel since 1994. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:What Does an Abolitionist Asian American Politics Look Like?
DESCRIPTION:Moderated by K. Wayne Yang\, Provost of John Muir College\, Professor of Ethnic Studies\, UCSD \nFeaturing: \nDJ Kuttin Kandi [she/her]\, Founding Core Member and Organizer\, Asian Solidarity Collective\nRachel Kuo [she/her]\, Founder and Co-Leader\, Asian American Feminist Collective\nPhal Sok [he/him]\, Organizer\, Youth Justice Coalition\nThe interlocking crises we face today–COVID-19\, the climate crisis\, the violence of policing\, and permanent war–has energized abolitionist politics in the United States and around the world. “Abolition\,” according to Ruth Wilson Gilmore\, “is a practical program of radical change cobbled together from the work that people do in disparate struggles every day.” Across cities and communities\, we are seeing the enactment of abolitionist politics through mutual aid networks\, struggles for affordable housing\, campaigns to free migrants from ICE detention\, and efforts to enact alternatives visions of safety and community. \nAsian Americans have been differentially impacted by the crises–as frontline health workers\, victims of hate crimes\, targets for deportation–yet their vulnerabilities are often obscured\, partly due to the persistent portrayal of Asian Americans as exceptional minorities\, as over-achievers\, as a divisive racial wedge\, or as complicit in systems of oppression–glaringly expressed in the participation of Hmong American police officer Tou Thao in George Floyd’s murder. \n“What does an abolitionist Asian American politics look like?” is an invitation to consider the varied challenges facing Asian Americans at this current juncture\, the place of Asian American politics in the age of #BlackLivesMatter\, and the ways forward in merging existing organizing efforts in motion. We understand “Asian American politics” not as narrow identity politics but rather as a capacious signifier of grassroots projects and visions that exists in coalition with others and in relationship to a liberatory politics for all. \nThis project was made possible with support from California Humanities\, a non-profit partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Any views\, findings\, conclusions\, or recommendations expressed in this webinar do not necessarily represent those of California Humanities or the National Endowment for the Humanities. \nRegister here

SUMMARY:Defund the Honolulu Police Campaign Launch
DESCRIPTION:[Campaign is based on a program created by Sunrise Movement national\, Dream Defenders\, Critical Resistance\, and Mijente] \nWhy defund the Honolulu Police Department? \n$32 million in CARES Act money was given to the Honolulu Police Department. What did the HPD spend it on? $13.8 million in over-time\, about $2 million on vehicles\, $4.6 million in contract positions\, and $118\,102 for riot training tools. What does that do to address our current health and economic crises? Zero. \nHonolulu residents are suffering too much and receiving too little to allow such negligent spending to continue. It’s time to defund the police and invest in our community. Join us this Sunday at 7PM for our “Defund the Honolulu Police Campaign Launch” to join our efforts and put taxpayer money where it actually belongs. \nFind Sunrise Movement Honolulu here \nRegister here

SUMMARY:A Revolutionary Perspective on the Capitalist Elections And the Struggle Ahead
DESCRIPTION:Part of the New Orleans Workers Group’s monthly forum. \nDemocrats & Republicans are two sides of the same capitalist coin. Neither party has ever provided: \n– Fully accessible healthcare\n– True living wages\n– An end to imperialist wars\n– Stopped police terror or\nenvironmental racism\n– Curbed climate change\n– Canceled college debt/made university free\n– Ended mass incarceration\n-Closed concentration camps \nThe list goes on. Not only have they not stopped these things\, both parties have been the driving forces of working class misery. Looking reality in the face does not mean we are doomed. It means that working people must soberly assess what is ahead and build up our power as working people to throw this capitalist system away and build a new world for our class. \nRSVP TO: NEWORLEANSWORKERSGROUP@gmail.com
