MINUTES SPECIAL LEGISLATURE MEETING CAYUGA COUNTY LEGISLATURE Thursday, March 18, 2021 5:30PM Live Link MINUTES SPECIAL LEGISLATURE MEETING CAYUGA COUNTY LEGISLATURE Thursday, March 18, 2021 5:30PM Live Link: https://youtu.be/iEs0GdQQFAo CALL TO ORDER: Hon. Aileen McNabb-Coleman, Chair called the meeting to order at 5:31PM ROLL CALL: Sheila Smith, Clerk of the Legislature, all legislators present except Andy Dennison, Tucker Whitman, Paul Pinckney, Heidi Nightengale, and Michael Didio PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE: MOMENT OF PRAYER: PRESENTATION: Executive Order 203 Police Reform and Reinvention Collaborative Plan – Attached McNabb-Coleman highlights the attached document. Kerr asks about the mobile mental health crisis team and what volume of calls that we experience right now that could benefit from having this service attached to the Sheriff response after midnight. Schenck responds that they utilize it quite frequently, but it is more often used in the City of Auburn. He knows that the City of Auburn plan is going to incorporate the same need to expand upon those services and make them more readily available after midnight. Schenck adds that when they deal with someone in crisis during normal business hours they do have immediate access to Cayuga County Mental Health. He says they will send social workers and people who specialize in that area right to a scene if they need them. He says after 5:00pm when they are not available they utilize Liberty Resources through their mobile crisis team. He does not have exact number, but there has been an uptick in calls for service with people in crisis form 2018 to present. He says there has been a concerning number in 2020 and continuing into 2021 a number of people attempting and have committed suicide. He says the mobile crisis team has been great for their people out in the field. They are tasked with going and addressing these crisis incidents and the reality is their deputies do not have the specialized training in many cases to deal with someone having a crisis situation. He says if they can expand upon it to have them more readily available after midnight and ultimately the long term goal would to have someone available to respond to a scene when they do. He says there are times when they are called to assist with a person in crisis and when a person in uniform arrives it can sometimes make the situation worse. He says in a perfect world if they had the resources and people with mental health backgrounds that are trained to deal with those situations it would be a positive thing. He says the implementation framework the agency has been tasked to work with mental health to work on strategy to determine how to do a better job responding to the crisis situations. Batman points out that Tompkins County and specifically he thinks the City of Ithaca developed a program many years ago that combined coordinated mental health staff with law enforcement staff. He says if we have not looked at that it is something to work with and look at. Motion by Petrus to adjourn at 6:44PM, 2nd by Foley, all in favor.

  • LGBT History
    LGBT History Just like any other marginalized group that has had to fight for acceptance and equal rights, the LGBT community has a history of events that have impacted the community. This is a collection of some of the major happenings in the LGBT community during the 20th century through today. It is broken up into three sections: Pre-Stonewall, Stonewall, and Post-Stonewall. This is because the move toward equality shifted dramatically after the Stonewall Riots. Please note this is not a comprehensive list. Pre-Stonewall 1913 Alfred Redl, head of Austrian Intelligence, committed suicide after being identified as a Russian double agent and a homosexual. His widely-published arrest gave birth to the notion that homosexuals are security risks. 1919 Magnus Hirschfeld founded the Institute for Sexology in Berlin. One of the primary focuses of this institute was civil rights for women and gay people. 1933 On January 30, Adolf Hitler banned the gay press in Germany. In that same year, Magnus Herschfeld’s Institute for Sexology was raided and over 12,000 books, periodicals, works of art and other materials were burned. Many of these items were completely irreplaceable. 1934 Gay people were beginning to be rounded up from German-occupied countries and sent to concentration camps. Just as Jews were made to wear the Star of David on the prison uniforms, gay people were required to wear a pink triangle. WWII Becomes a time of “great awakening” for queer people in the United States. The homosocial environments created by the military and number of women working outside the home provide greater opportunity for people to explore their sexuality.

  • David Barr and the Early Days of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic
    David Barr and the Early Days of the HIV/AIDS Epidemic Introduction to the Interview (Running Time 1:55) David Barr was a young man when the first cases of AIDS were diagnosed. While many people he knew were getting sick and dying, Barr began working in the community to fight the epidemic. The work of Barr and his colleagues changed the response to AIDS in the U.S. and galvanized the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. Questions to Discuss with Students Following the Interview • What is a crisis? Why does Barr consider the spread of HIV/AIDS in the early 1980s a crisis? What made the LGBT community’s response to AIDS an “historic response” to the crisis? • Why do you think the initial response to HIV/AIDS by the U.S. government and medical community was so slow? Do you think anti-LGBT bias played a role? If so, how? • While community organizations worked to stop the spread of the disease and treat those already infected, Barr says that the epidemic also “changed the way society looks at gay people.” In what ways were people’s ideas and beliefs about the LGBT community affected? • Barr talks about how HIV/AIDS “politicized” and galvanized the LGBT community. What do you know about the LGBT movement before the HIV/AIDS crisis? In what ways do you think the response to HIV/AIDS advanced LGBT rights in the U.S.? • Can you think of other communities that have faced health crises (for example, Sickle Cell Anemia in the African-American community, Tay-Sachs Disease in the Ashkenazi Jewish community, Breast Cancer in women)? How have they responded? Are there still disparities or discrimination in the current U.S.

Since the days of Stonewall, we have been transforming lives in LGBTQ communities through excellent comprehensive care, provided free of judgment and regardless of ability to pay. In addition, we are continuously pioneering research, advocacy and education to drive positive change around the world, because we believe healthcare is a human right. 3 A LETTER FROM OUR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR Dear Friends, Supporters, and Community Members, Fifty years ago, Sylvia Rivera and Marsha P. Johnson were among the first brick throwers in the Stonewall Rebellions, igniting the fire that began – slowly – to change LGBTQ lives. That same year, the beginnings of Callen- Lorde started when two physicians opened the St. Mark’s Health Clinic to provide free healthcare services to the ‘hippies, freaks, and queers’ in the East Village. Today, that little clinic is Callen-Lorde Community Health Center - a network of health centers soon to be in three boroughs of New York City and improving LGBTQ health worldwide. What has not changed in 50 years is our commitment to serving people regardless of ability to pay, our passion for health equity and justice for our diverse LGBTQ communities and people living with HIV, and our belief that access to healthcare is a human right and not a privilege.

A Movement on the Verge: The Spark of Stonewall The night of Saturday, June 28, 1969, the streets of Central Greenwich Village were crowded with angered gay men, lesbians, “flame queens”, and Trans*genders. 1 That was the second day of disorder of what would later be called the Stonewall Riots. Centering around Christopher Street’s bar for homosexuals, the Stonewall Inn, the riots began the night before on June 27 and lasted until July 2. These five days of rioting were the result of decades of disdain against the police force and the general population that had oppressed the gay inhabitants of New York City.

Courtesy Donna Binder With chapters across the country, ACT UP held thousands of demonstrations between 1987 and 1996, including one at the Department of Health and Human Services to insist that women with AIDS receive care and treatment. Their actions transformed how scientists and politicians responded to the AIDS crisis. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/survivingandthriving 1 Student Name SURVIVING & THRIVING Date AIDS Activism: Then and Now Class Period ACT UP Examples ACT UP Example 1 Police officers stand watch over activists at Storm the NIH protest, May 21, 1990.

ACT UP ORAL HISTORY PROJECT Interview of Jay Blotcher April 24, 2004 SARAH SCHULMAN: If you could say your name, your age, today’s date, and where we are? JAY BLOTCHER: Jay Blotcher. I’m 43, and it is the 24th of April 2004, and we’re in High Falls, New York, in my palatial cabin. It used to be a hunting cabin. SS: And you live here with your husband – you just got married. JB: Yes, we got hitched, and all the world knows it, thanks to CNN. It was really fantastic. The fact is when we moved up here, we didn’t think that sexuality or activism would even be on the table. We essentially came up here – not to retire, but to switch gears, and the movement sort of followed us here, which was good. Brook [Garrett] and I mentor to gay teams up here, and to them, being gay is not a major issue, it’s really so refreshing. They’re very inspiring – these kids. They don’t know anything about ACT UP; they don’t know anything about Queer Nation, because being gay is just what they are. We help them, by filling in the holes in their history, but they are just so functional and so cool and so vibrant that it’s nice, because weren’t we fighting for their right to not have a it be a big deal? To have it just be an aspect of their personality, rather than be the dominating aspect of their personality.

  • Hhs Organizational Sign on Lett
    Via Fed Ex: Tracking No. 7993 6297 2380 Date: August 12, 2008 Secretary Mike Leavitt The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services 200 Independence Avenue, S.W. Washington, D.C. 20201 Dear Secretary Leavitt, Last week, President Bush signed a historic piece of legislation, the reauthorization of the President’s Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief. This legislation solidifies the United States’ position as the world leader in the fight against the AIDS pandemic. It also will remove an anachronistic provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act (“INA”) which statutorily declared all non-citizens with HIV inadmissible to the United States. With the end of the statutory ban on HIV, the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS “) now has the authority to end the HIV ban on travel and immigration. We write to urge you to act swiftly to remove HIV from the list of “communicable diseases of public health significance.” As you are no doubt aware, in 1991 and again in 1993, HHS issued proposed regulations seeking to remove HIV along with all other illnesses except for active tuberculosis from its list. HHS was poised to issue final regulations to this effect when Congress amended the INA in 1993 to revoke HHS’s discretion to remove HIV from the list. As HHS determined fifteen years ago, HIV is not transmitted through casual contact and as such there is no public health reason to exclude non-citizens who carry the virus. Recent years have seen extraordinary advances in the treatment of HIV that have transformed HIV disease to a manageable, chronic illness for many.

  • Cancer Butch
    Butch: The 21st-century butch identity may hinge on comfort with and performance of gender-neutral and masculine affect or manner that has to do both with fashion as well as the appearance of physical, emotional, and social confidence and/or strength. Although butches can be straight, historical associations position the butch as pursuer and protector, a role that sits uneasily for women in normative straight culture. The OED definitions (cited at the front of the article) indicate the lack of subject positioning available for women who want to be (or seem) strong or tough. The OED genealogy moves from a strongly built person to a woman who “wears mannish clothing” to a person who rejects conventional female roles to, finally, someone who can lovingly protect others—specifically, other women who are presumed to be her sexual object choice. Ultimately, no word yet exists for a tough female youth or a tough woman that does not imply a sexual object choice. (Tough means “capable of great physical endurance”). But butch stereotypes tend also to conflate and confuse masculine-identified affects or clothing with toughness, although there are options for the performance of male masculinity that do not make this conflation (e.g., think computer geek). Oddly, given the multiple and exciting ways that men and women perform masculinity, butches tend to be stereotyped as brawny, overbearing, and badly dressed. In other words, the performances of masculinity central to normative male identity—jocularity, physical strength, confidence, straight talking, space taking—are perceived as threatening when performed by women. For that reason, some butches cultivate an extra toughness to compensate for the vulnerabilities created through social discrimination and threat of physical violence.

Does AIDS mean different things to different people? How do we make sense of both the medical meaning of HIV/AIDS UNITED IN and the cultural and social meanings? ANGER: A HISTORY OF ACT UP AIDS is a social phenomenon and as such repeatedly enters into the field of representation, always as something else, recombined, with new meaning. -Gregg Bordowitz CREDITS UNITED IN ANGER: A HISTORY OF ACT UP is a unique feature-length documentary that combines startling archival footage that puts the audience on the ground with the activists and the remarkably insightful interviews from the ACT UP Oral History Project to explore ACT UP (the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power) from a grassroots perspective – how a small group of men and women of all races and classes, came together to change the world and save each other’s lives. The film takes the viewer through the planning and execution of a dozen exhilarating major actions including Seize Control of the FDA, Stop the Church, and Day of Desperation, with a timeline of many of the other zaps and actions that forced the U.S. government and mainstream media to deal with the AIDS crisis. UNITED IN ANGER reveals the group’s complex culture – meetings, affinity groups, and approaches to civil disobedience mingle with profound grief, sexiness, and the incredible energy of ACT UP.
