  • Anti-Racism Resources
    Anti-Racism Resources Prepared for and by: The First Church in Oberlin United Church of Christ Part I: Statements Why Black Lives Matter: Statement of the United Church of Christ Our faith's teachings tell us that each person is created in the image of God (Genesis 1:27) and therefore has intrinsic worth and value. So why when Jesus proclaimed good news to the poor, release to the jailed, sight to the blind, and freedom to the oppressed (Luke 4:16-19) did he not mention the rich, the prison-owners, the sighted and the oppressors? What conclusion are we to draw from this? Doesn't Jesus care about all lives? Black lives matter. This is an obvious truth in light of God's love for all God's children. But this has not been the experience for many in the U.S. In recent years, young black males were 21 times more likely to be shot dead by police than their white counterparts. Black women in crisis are often met with deadly force. Transgender people of color face greatly elevated negative outcomes in every area of life. When Black lives are systemically devalued by society, our outrage justifiably insists that attention be focused on Black lives. When a church claims boldly "Black Lives Matter" at this moment, it chooses to show up intentionally against all given societal values of supremacy and superiority or common-sense complacency. By insisting on the intrinsic worth of all human beings, Jesus models for us how God loves justly, and how his disciples can love publicly in a world of inequality.

  • Resources on Racial Justice June 8, 2020
    Resources on Racial Justice June 8, 2020 1 7 Anti-Racist Books Recommended by Educators and Activists from the New York Magazine https://nymag.com/strategist/article/anti-racist-reading- list.html?utm_source=insta&utm_medium=s1&utm_campaign=strategist By The Editors of NY Magazine With protests across the country calling for systemic change and justice for the killings of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, Breonna Taylor, and Tony McDade, many people are asking themselves what they can do to help. Joining protests and making donations to organizations like Know Your Rights Camp, the ACLU, or the National Bail Fund Network are good steps, but many anti-racist educators and activists say that to truly be anti-racist, we have to commit ourselves to the ongoing fight against racism — in the world and in us. To help you get started, we’ve compiled the following list of books suggested by anti-racist organizations, educators, and black- owned bookstores (which we recommend visiting online to purchase these books). They cover the history of racism in America, identifying white privilege, and looking at the intersection of racism and misogyny. We’ve also collected a list of recommended books to help parents raise anti-racist children here. Hard Conversations: Intro to Racism - Patti Digh's Strong Offer This is a month-long online seminar program hosted by authors, speakers, and social justice activists Patti Digh and Victor Lee Lewis, who was featured in the documentary film, The Color of Fear, with help from a community of people who want and are willing to help us understand the reality of racism by telling their stories and sharing their resources.

  • Dear Stanford Zumba Community, Ordinarily, Our Friday Email Would Confirm This Week's Remote Class and Celebrate the Weekend
    Dear Stanford Zumba Community, Ordinarily, our Friday email would confirm this week’s remote class and celebrate the weekend with dance and energy. But this has been a week of immense pain, sadness, and anger. It is time not to celebrate, but to speak up and stand firm. Stanford Zumba stands in solidarity with Black Lives Matter and the Black community. We share in the pain caused by the murders of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Tony McDade, Admaud Arbery, Eric Garner, Philando Castile, Trayvon Martin and countless other Black folks, and vow to be part of the movement toward real change. For these reasons, we will not have classes this week. Our Core team recognizes that ​ ​ systemic racism is a deep-seated plague, with police brutality as one manifestation. We have been reflecting on ways that we occupy systems founded on white supremacy, tracing back to the origins of this country. For non-Black folks, to not actively fight for racial justice is to ​ ​ accept those oppressive systems. With this in mind, we pledge to have a fundraiser for the NAACP Legal Defense Fund in the future; we will share more details in the coming weeks. We have also been reflecting on the ways that we have benefited from the many contributions of Black folks. As Zumba instructors, our choreographies and music are often created by or draw inspiration from Black artists. We pledge to celebrate their voices in a way that upholds dignity and respect. We also recognize that both the Civil Rights and Pride movements were major landmarks of progress led by Black activists.

  • In Solidarity — a Note from Shelly
    June 4, 2020: In Solidarity — A Note from Shelly Dear CDS Family, As a white person, no matter how closely I am an observer, I will NEVER understand the suffering in our Black community. What we are witnessing now is the manifestation of years of pain, trauma, and the pushing down of emotions in response to systemic state-sanctioned racial violence and police brutality. At this moment, the pain is present and acute. The critical way forward is to keep the observance of this pain in mind as we navigate the next steps individually and collectively. For some additional learning and perspective, watch the film Just Mercy (streaming for free this month) and Bryan Stevenson’s follow-up TED talk. As a faculty and staff community, we have committed to putting our resources where they can help. Together, we have donated more than $4,100 to the organizations listed at the bottom of this email. Some have made monthly commitments and others are first-time connections to organizations which may become a lifelong philanthropic focus. We encourage you and your family to donate what you can to organizations defending and celebrating Black lives as well as individuals in your community who are in need. Another opportunity to stand up is to support Black-owned restaurants in the Bay Area with your business. I thought this article would resonate with you as you support your children and yourself in unpacking this complex topic of race. Woke Kindergarten’s Word of the Day - Protest offers young children an age-appropriate perspective on the protests and can be a catalyst to start or continue your conversations at home.

  • A Statement Regarding the Wellbeing of Black Students and Cases of Police Violence in the United States May 29, 2020
    Student Government Assembly 60 Washington Square South, Suite 212 NY, NY 10003 P: 212 998 2234 [email protected] A Statement Regarding the Wellbeing of Black Students and Cases of Police Violence in the United States May 29, 2020 Dear NYU Community: The Student Government Assembly Executive Committee and Senators at-Large for Black Students wish to acknowledge the injustices and crimes against humanity that have recently been committed by members of the Minneapolis Police Department, resulting in protests across the nation. Times like these call for moments of both personal and communal reflection into the institutionalized racism that plagues our community, and reiterates the importance of using our voices to make change. The horrific murder of George Floyd on May 25th, along with the murder of countless other innocent African Americans, requires us, as students, to be loud and bold. These moments ask us to look beyond ourselves, our privilege, and our own silence. In doing so, we are able to support our fellow Black sisters and brothers when they need us most. In recent years, we have become familiar with the ways in which silence can be just as deadly as the racism and police brutality that took Mr. Floyd’s life. For that reason, the Student Government Assembly has made the elevation and projection of Black voices its primary goal in this time of great loss. While the Student Government Assembly does not encourage violence, it supports in solidarity the large-scale protests in cities across the United States. It is our belief that such protests, including recent violence, are the result of years of failure on behalf of the state to protect the bodies of Black people in the face of racist policing and widespread discrimination.

Many people believe Jesus Christ will soon return to the earth. But they’re not so clear on the reasons for His second coming. In part 1 of a two-part series, we ask: Why does Jesus Christ need to come back? Just what is He coming to do? 8 The Key to Ending Chaos There are very real causes to the chaos we see in the world around us as well as in our own lives. There is also a very real solution for those who are willing to do what’s required! 12 Who Will Listen to My Warning? The prophet Jeremiah warned the rebellious people of ancient Judah that they needed to turn to God in humble obedience. How do Jeremiah’s admonitions apply to the people of today’s lawless world? 44 15 The Bible’s Prophetic Festivals God gave seven annual festivals that present the work of Jesus Christ in saving humanity. It’s vital that all of us learn of them and what they teach. 18 The Supreme Court: Turning the World Upside Down The U.S. Supreme Court has again defied God—by not only denying His Word but also scientific reality.
