Nayo Watkins Nayo Watkins’s work over the last three decades established her as author, playwright, writer, fundraiser, community activist, social revolutionary. More than anything she enacted change. People could not be introduced to NAYO and not be struck with a need to do some personal inventory. She published her first work in 1968 entitled “I want me a Home.” Moving to Jackson Mississippi she was an intrinsic mover and shaker of the Mississippi Cultural Arts Coalition. She served for a period as Directress of Clara Muhammad University in Jackson, Mississippi where her love for children andCel- her passion for education merged to become her mission. Her network expands to the Highlander Center, the Hayti Center, Alternate ROOTS and Southern Regional Development Institute, SpiritHouse NC, among just a few. Herebrating life’s journey reached a climactic purpose with the death of her youngest son, Nyamekye Akil Malcolm. NAYO’s healing from one death gave birth to a new mis- sion that immediately drove her into her destiny as founder of the Mekye Fund and Ourthe eventual establishment of the “Mekye Center” where she served as Executive Director. Still for those of us who call her mother, grandmother, Mama Nayo, sister, aunt, wife, friend, and co-laborer in the movement she was so, so much more. On FallenJanuary 20, 2008 at 4:30 pm NAYO answered purpose of a Higher Call. For those who love her, respect her, supported her, believed in her, and called her Mama NAYO, she now belongs to the ancestors whom have gone before her. - Heroesfrom a longer piece written in tribute by Carolyn Morris Greetings Clark, How quickly time slips by us.

  • Dimensions of US-Cuba Relations 1965-1975 By
    WHEN FEMINISM MEETS INTERNATIONALISM: Dimensions of U.S.-Cuba Relations 1965-1975 By: Pamela Neumann M.A. Candidate, Latin American Studies (University of Texas at Austin) Submitted for ILASSA Conference XXX: February 4-6, 2010 Introduction The histories of the United States and Cuba have been inextricably linked by geographical proximity, a tumultuous cercanía that over the last two centuries has had profound political, economic, and social repercussions. There is a natural scholarly tendency to examine the dynamics between these countries in terms of geopolitical strategic interests, economic trade relationships, or ideological conflict, the value of which certainly cannot be ignored. Nevertheless, the complexity of U.S.-Cuban relations cannot be fully understood apart from a wider engagement with the interactions that have taken place between the two countries outside the purview of government policy. Throughout their respective histories, interactions involving ordinary citizens from diverse backgrounds have led to enriching mutual understanding even during periods of extreme political crisis and hostility between Cuba and the United States. In addition to their impact at the individual and cultural level, these encounters have also sometimes contributed to shifts within social movements and spurred new forms of international activism. One period that exemplifies both of the aforementioned effects of citizen-level interactions came following the triumph of the Cuban Revolution in 1959. In the context of the Cold War, the resulting social and economic changes in Cuba and its growing relationship with the Soviet Union heightened the United States’ concerns about the new Castro regime, leading to a rapid escalation of tensions and a suspension of formal diplomatic relations between the two Neumann 2 countries in 1960.1 However, this break in official government relations hardly signaled an end to the interactions that would occur between citizens from the two countries over the coming decades.

  • Coalition Dissolution, Mobilization, and Network Dynamics in the U.S
    COALITION DISSOLUTION, MOBILIZATION, AND NETWORK DYNAMICS IN THE U.S. ANTIWAR MOVEMENT Michael T. Heaney and Fabio Rojas ABSTRACT Coalition formation and dissolution are integral parts of social movement politics. This article addresses two questions about the effect of coalition politics on organizational processes within social movements. First, how does coalition leadership influence who attends mass demonstrations? Second, how does the dissolution of a coalition affect the locations of organizations in activist networks? The case of schism between United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) and Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) in the contemporary American antiwar movement (2001–2007) is examined. Survey results demonstrate that variations in coalition leadership do not significantly affect protest demographics, though they do attract supporters with different political attitudes, levels of commitment, and organizational affiliations. Further, network analysis establishes that coalition dissolution weakens the ties between previous coalition partners and creates opportunities for actors uninvolved in the split to reaffirm and improve brokerage opportunities. The end result is that preexisting network structures serve to mitigate the effects of coalition dissolution on social movements.

HEANEY AND FABIO ROJAS When public approval of President George W. Bush’s handling of the Iraq War stood at an unprecedented low in September 2005, the American antiwar movement seized the opportunity to get out its message.1 The nation’s two leading grassroots antiwar coalitions – United for Peace and Justice (UFPJ) and Act Now to Stop War and End Racism (ANSWER) – formed a grand coalition to sponsor a march in Washington, DC, on September 24, 2005.

  • The Politics of US Feminist Internationalism and Cuba: Solidarities and Fractures on the Venceremos Brigades, 1969-89
    Feminist Encounters: A Journal of Critical Studies in Culture and Politics, 2(1), 03 ISSN: 2542-4920 The Politics of US Feminist Internationalism and Cuba: Solidarities and Fractures on the Venceremos Brigades, 1969-89 Karen W. Tice 1* Published: March 19, 2018 ABSTRACT Despite US travel bans to Cuba, a wide spectrum of US feminist and radical activists defied and crossed geo-political borders to participate in unique modes of solidarity activism and alliances with Cuba revolutionaries. Based on the narratives of US feminist political travellers who joined the Venceremos Brigades, an anti-imperialist radical education project, this article analyses the difficult conversations about feminism, gender politics, homophobia, racism, cultural imperialism, revolutionary priorities, social change strategies, and intersectionality as well as the productive organisational linkages that were generated by this political travel. This article highlights how political differences were both managed and/or silenced within transnational activist encounters, and concludes by suggesting the import of these debates for building and sustaining multi-issue and coalitional affinities within contemporary transnational feminist organising and solidarity delegations. Keywords: Venceremos Brigades, transnational feminism, solidarity delegations, cultural imperialism, geo- political border crossings INTRODUCTION Beginning in the 1960s, and partly as a response to the liberation struggles occurring across the globe, many US activists claimed political kinship and

  • Press Kit /// Pg2 DIRECTORS STATEMENT
    SYNOPSIS DISRUPTION tells the story of the greatest crisis mankind has ever faced and the movement rising to fight it by weaving together commentary from the most recognized voices analyzing climate, politics and society today with behind-the-scenes footage of the efforts to organize The People’s Climate March - the largest climate rally in history. Featuring James Hansen, Naomi Oreskes, Van Jones, Bill McKibben, Chris Hayes, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Naomi Klein, Rajendra Pachauri, Justin Gillis, among others - DISRUPTION makes plain the urgency of the present by laying bare the science behind the terrifying tipping points we are threatening to trigger, the failure of our politi- cal process to prevent these catastrophes and the need for a popular movement to challenge these realities. Drawing on insights into the power of popular movements to change the character of society from veteran organiz- ers responsible for the most significant political demonstrations of the last half century, DISRUPTION documents the first steps of the fateful battle to bend the course of history.
