Women's March on Washington Speech for Carmen Perez
Women’s March on Washington Speech For Carmen Perez Good afternoon family. My name is Carmen Perez, and I'm the executive director of the gathering for justice and the founder of Justice league NYC and California. I am truly humbled to join and serve you as one of the national co-chairs of the women's March alongside my sistren Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour and Bob Bland. As well as so many who have worked so hard to make today happen. Thank you! I stand here as a Chicana Mexican-American Woman. As the daughter and granddaughter of farm workers. As the family member of incarcerated and undocumented people. As a survivor of domestic violence. As a woman who knows pain. And who has transformed her pain into gifts. Gifts that have allowed me to see light in the darkest places. For twenty years, I have worked in America’s prisons. I have seen families being torn apart. Locked up in cages. Forgotten and silenced. Many stripped of their rights, their freedoms, And ultimately, their lives. And the majority are black and brown people – including women. Women who I call my sisters . This HAS TO END. This WILL end. Because of you. Because of us. Today I join you all and raise my voice loud and clear to say WE HAVE HAD ENOUGH. We know what the problems are. We know who our enemy is. We know what the injustices have done to us and those we love. But to overcome them we have to stand in solidarity. We have to listen to each other and know that we always have more to learn. -

Washington University Law Review VOLUME 98 NUMBER 4 2021 POLICE PROSECUTIONS AND PUNITIVE INSTINCTS KATE LEVINE* ABSTRACT This Article makes two contributions to the fields of policing and criminal legal scholarship. First, it sounds a cautionary note about the use of individual prosecutions to remedy police brutality. It argues that the calls for ways to ease the path to more police prosecutions from legal scholars, reformers, and advocates who, at the same time, advocate for a dramatic reduction of the criminal legal system’s footprint, are deeply problematic. It shows that police prosecutions legitimize the criminal legal system while at the same time displaying the same racism and ineffectiveness that have been shown to pervade our prison-backed criminal machinery. The Article looks at three recent trials and convictions of police officers of color, Peter Liang, Mohammed Noor, and Nouman Raja, in order to underscore the argument that the criminal legal system’s race problems are * Associate Professor of Law, Benjamin N. -
President's Report
· mount holyoke · PRESIDENT’S REPORT · a note from the · PRESIDENT The College has always been a place where big visions take shape. For over 180 years, we have opened opportunities for students to deepen their understanding and sharpen their response to a fast-changing world with challenges both known and unknown. We prepare students to learn and to lead because in life and work, we know this is what makes all the difference. Now that we have been deeply engaged in the work for two years of our five-year Plan for 2021, I’m delighted to share our progress, including an overview of some of Mount Holyoke’s new strategic initia- tives. In January 2018, we opened the Dining Commons, a part of the new Community Center, which is now also nearing completion. With the extensive renovations to Blanchard Hall we are creating a co-curricular hub in support of student leadership and programs, as well as a coffee shop and pub. We’ve also added new residential, co-curricular, and academic spaces. These spaces are the heart of our community-building efforts, giving more attention to shared endeavors and creating a sense of belonging. They represent a commitment to place at Mount Holyoke, reminding us all of the power of relationships that is in the very warp and woof of the College and the Alumnae Association. There is an energy and excitement to our being in the same space at the same times each day to eat, talk, think, and debate in companionship and cooperation. I hope the stories in these pages excite you about our current initi atives and our plans for the future. -

The Unknown Origins of the March on Washington: Civil Rights Politics and the Black Working Class
The Unknown Origins of the March on Washington: Civil Rights Politics and the Black Working Class William P. Jones The very decade which has witnessed the decline of legal Jim Crow has also seen the rise of de facto segregation in our most fundamental socioeconomic institutions,” vet- eran civil rights activist Bayard Rustin wrote in 1965, pointing out that black work- ers were more likely to be unemployed, earn low wages, work in “jobs vulnerable to automation,” and live in impoverished ghettos than when the U.S. Supreme Court banned legal segregation in 1954. Historians have attributed that divergence to a nar- rowing of African American political objectives during the 1950s and early 1960s, away from demands for employment and economic reform that had dominated the agendas of civil rights organizations in the 1940s and later regained urgency in the late 1960s. Jacquelyn Dowd Hall and other scholars emphasize the negative effects of the Cold War, arguing that the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and other civil rights organizations responded to domestic anticom- munism by distancing themselves from organized labor and the Left and by focusing on racial rather than economic forms of inequality. Manfred Berg and Adam Fair- clough offer the more positive assessment that focusing on racial equality allowed civil rights activists to appropriate the democratic rhetoric of anticommunism and solidify alliances with white liberals during the Cold War, although they agree that “anti- communist hysteria retarded the struggle for racial justice and narrowed the political Research for this article was supported by a National Endowment for the Humanities/Newhouse Fellowship at the New York Public Library’s Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture and the Graduate School at the University of Wisconsin, Madison. -
Modern Antisemitism in Progressive Circles?
Denison University Denison Digital Commons Denison Student Scholarship 2021 Modern Antisemitism in Progressive Circles? Jacob Dennen Follow this and additional works at: https://digitalcommons.denison.edu/studentscholarship Modern Antisemitism in Progressive Circles? Jacob Dennen Dr. Paul A. Djupe, Advisor Senior Honors Research Abstract In recent years, anti-Zionism and anti-Israel rhetoric have become hallmarks of the American Left. Moreover, many on the Left have downplayed or denied the severity of antisemitism. This paper seeks to determine how widespread overt and latent antisemitism are among the Left. More specically, it seeks to determine if there is a double standard applied to antisemitism that could be indicative of latent antisemitism as well as if the anti-Zionist rhetoric is the result of latent antisemitism. To do so, respondents in a nationally-representative survey were given questions designed to determine overt antisemitism, as well as two dierent experiments designed to elicit latent antisemitism. The results showed that latent antisemitism does not appear for any of the ideological groups on the Left in the context of ghting discrimination. However, it does appear among Liberals as it relates to self-determination and Progressives when Israel is mentioned. These ndings help illuminate how the Left views antisemitism, the relationship between anti-Zionism and the Left, as well as how widespread latent and overt antisemitism are among the Left. 1 Introduction Where the Right ghts for freedom and liberty, the Left ghts for equality and egalitarianism. The Left has been actively involved in feminism, anti-racism, and the ght for LGBTQ rights and equality. Although each movement comes and goes in intensity and scope with the current focus on anti-racism, the Left readily calls out sexism, homophobia/transphobia, racism, and other forms of prejudice when they appear. -

Teaching the March on Washington
Nearly a quarter-million people descended on the nation’s capital for the 1963 March on Washington. As the signs on the opposite page remind us, the march was not only for civil rights but also for jobs and freedom. Bottom left: Martin Luther King Jr., who delivered his famous “I Have a Dream” speech during the historic event, stands with marchers. Bottom right: A. Philip Randolph, the architect of the march, links arms with Walter Reuther, president of the United Auto Workers and the most prominent white labor leader to endorse the march. Teaching the March on Washington O n August 28, 1963, the March on Washington captivated the nation’s attention. Nearly a quarter-million people—African Americans and whites, Christians and Jews, along with those of other races and creeds— gathered in the nation’s capital. They came from across the country to demand equal rights and civil rights, social justice and economic justice, and an end to exploitation and discrimination. After all, the “March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom” was the march’s official name, though with the passage of time, “for Jobs and Freedom” has tended to fade. ; The march was the brainchild of longtime labor leader A. PhilipR andolph, and was organized by Bayard RINGER Rustin, a charismatic civil rights activist. Together, they orchestrated the largest nonviolent, mass protest T in American history. It was a day full of songs and speeches, the most famous of which Martin Luther King : AFP/S Jr. delivered in the shadow of the Lincoln Memorial. top 23, 23, GE Last month marked the 50th anniversary of the march. -
