Policing, Protest, and Politics Syllabus
Policing, Protest, and Politics: Queers, Feminists, and #BlackLivesMatter WOMENSST 295P / AFROAM 295P Fall 2015 T/Th 4:00 – 5:15pm 212 Bartlett Hall Instructor: Dr. Eli Vitulli Office: 7D Bartlett Email: [email protected] Office hours: Th 1:30-3:30pm (& by appointment only) COURSE OVERVIEW Over the past year few years, a powerful social movement has emerged to affirm to the country and world that Black Lives Matter. Sparked by the killing of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman in Stanford, Florida, and Zimmerman’s acquittal as well as the police killings of other black men and women, including Michael Brown, Rekia Boyd, and Freddie Gray, this movement challenges police violence and other policing that makes black communities unsafe as well as social constructions of black people as inherently dangerous and criminal. Police violence against black people and the interrelated criminalization of black communities have a long history, older than the US itself. There is a similarly long and important history of activism and social movements against police violence and criminalization. Today, black people are disproportionately subject to police surveillance and violence, arrest, and incarceration. So, too, are other people of color (both men and women) and queer, trans, and gender nonconforming people of all races but especially those of color. This course will examine the history of policing and criminalization of black, queer, and trans people and communities and related anti-racist, feminist, and queer/trans activism. In doing so, we will interrogate how policing and understandings of criminality—or the view that certain people or groups are inherently dangerous or criminal—in the US have long been deeply shaped by race, gender, and sexuality. -

From Tupelo to Memphis to New York, Las Vegas, and countless points between, the journey explores the rise and fall of Elvis as a metaphor for the country he left behind. What emerges is a visionary portrait of the state of the American dream and a penetrating look at how the hell we got here. The King premieres on Independent Lens Monday, January 28, 2019, 9:00-10:30PM ET (check local listings) on PBS. Far more than a musical biopic, The King is a snapshot of Credit: David Kuhn America at a critical time in the nation’s history. Tracing Elvis’ life and career from his birth and meteoric rise in the deep south to his tragic and untimely end in Hollywood and Las Vegas, The King covers a vast distance across contemporary America, painting a parallel portrait of the nation’s own heights and depths, from its inspired origins to its perennial struggles with race, class, power, and money. -
OPEIU LOCAL 8 Statement on the Murder of George Floyd and Nationwide Protests
June 12, 2020 OPEIU LOCAL 8 Statement on the Murder of George Floyd and Nationwide Protests We stand in solidarity with every working person who is outraged and voicing their rejection of the systemic violence and racism that has allowed the incalculable lynchings of unarmed Black people in this country for hundreds of years, most recently George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and Tony McDade. We cannot remain silent as people of color are extrajudicially killed at the hands of police. We cannot ignore the devastating effects of systemic racism and oppression in our communities. We will not shy away from stating BLACK LIVES MATTER because it's true and some people need to be reminded of that simple fact. We stand with those who are rising up to effect change and dismantle oppressive systems. We believe the true violence is the looting of human lives and continued police brutality. We agree with the Washington State Labor Council, “We must root out white supremacy within all of our institutions, but in particular within law enforcement.” We demand justice and will collectively raise our voices to call for it in our Union, in our workplaces, in the halls of congress, and in the streets. We will not stop fighting for economic, social, and racial justice. In Solidarity, OPEIU Local 8 Executive Board and Members of Local 8’s Race, Equity and Social Justice Committee If you are looking for ways to actively support this resistance work please consider making a donation to one of these local groups at this time: Black Lives Matter Seattle-King County: https://blacklivesseattle.org/ and https://blacklivesseattle.org/bail-fund/ Northwest Community Bail Fund: https://www.nwcombailfund.org/ Book recommendations to educate yourself on matters of race and history: How to be Anti-Racist by Ibram X. -

We Organize for Knowledge and Empowerment 2017 Conference Booklet
W.O.K.E. ‘17 An Institute for College Men of Color We Organize for Knowledge and Empowerment 2017 Conference Booklet Saturday, May 6, 2017 Chicago, Illinois Letter from the Conference Chairs Greetings, Welcome to the inaugural We Organize for Knowledge and Empowerment Conference a.k.a. W.O.K.E. 17! We are glad that you took the time to join us for what is sure to be a dynamic day. There are a number of conference in the United States that are specifically geared towards undergraduate men. Most of which, engage men in masculinity work, but fail to address issues of race and the intersections of race and gender. Our goal was to produce a one-day conference experience which addresses the intersection of race and gender grounded in theory. In this one-day conference we aim to explore the identities of men of color and their socialization within the United States. Using the Cycle of Liberation as a framework for the schedule, you all as undergraduate men of color will engage deeply around your identities, name injustices, build community within and outside of your racial identity, and begin to construct an action plan to combat racism and sexism in your communities. The conference will be divided into five stages that mirror the five beginning levels of the Cycle of Liberation. Using Cycle of Socialization, Privilege Identity Exploration, and Critical Race Theories, we hope you will begin to work through a critical consciousness towards creating effective change in society. Get ready to WAKE UP the activist in you! Let’s get to work. -
