IRB Protocol #17-0431 iii Gordon, Constance (Ph.D., Communication) Troubling “Access”: Rhetorical Cartographies of Food (In)Justice and Gentrification Dissertation directed by Professor Phaedra C. Pezzullo ABSTRACT This dissertation explores the rhetorical and spatiotemporal relationships between food politics and gentrification in the contemporary U.S. developing city foodscape. Specifically, I explore a seemingly innocent, yet incredibly powerful key term for the food movement today: “access.” The concern over adequate food access for the food insecure has become a national conversation, as everyone from governments to corporations, non-profits to grassroots advocates, have organized interventions to bring healthy food to those most in need. In rapidly developing cities, however, these politics have become particularly complicated, as new food amenities often index or contribute to gentrification, including the displacement of the very people supposedly targeted for increased food access.

Open Records Requests Are No Substitute for Transparent Government 9. References Challenges to calculating “clean ups” cost The city refers to the traumatic displacements or sweeps as “clean ups”. Many independent advocacy groups and journalists have inquired into the costs of Denver’s “clean ups”, but there remains no clear answer. Accurate costs are hard to calculate due to the logistics involved across various departments and the involvement of multiple personnel, contractors and equipment. This project’s research team requested scores of documents through the Colorado Open Records Act (CORA) to analyze invoice and email content, reviewed dozens of news sources, followed local political discussions, visited encampments, spoke to encampment residents and people who were on site for “clean ups” and reviewed multiple videos and photographs. We conducted an in-depth analysis of seven displacements, ranging in size, season, cost and location.

LIFESTYLE + CULTURE (HTTPS://303MAGAZINE.COM/CATEGORY/LIFESTYLE-CULTURE/) 16 MIN READ Recent acts of violence in the United States — both those that are being publicized and those we may never recognize nationally — have enraged people all over the country. The result has a lot of us wondering how to move forward and prevent devastating events like the deaths of George Floyd (https://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2020/05/31/george- floyd-police-car-video-vpx.cnn), Breonna Taylor (https://www.nytimes.com/article/breonna-taylor-police.html) and Ahmaud Arbery (https://www.firstcoastnews.com/article/news/local/what-you-need-to-know-about-the-shooting-death-of-ahmaud-arbery-in-brunswick-ga/77-d5836433-27f8-47fb-8096- bd7cfeb05007). Thousands have put feet to the pavement for five straight nights to vocalize their frustration, though some have resulted in tension from local law enforcement. On Sunday, May 31, the Denver Police arrested over 170 people (https://303magazine.com/2020/06/denver-curfew-extended-friday/). It is important, now more than ever, to stand up for our neighbors and understand the role that systematic racism plays in our city. In 2019, Ibram X. Kendi (https://www.ibramxkendi.com/how-to-be-an- antiracist-1) wrote How to be an Antiracist, which serves as a comprehensive explanation of what it would look like to live in an anti-racist society.

  • Other School Districts Across the Nation, Much of the Drop Is Due to Preschoolers and Kindergarteners Deciding Not to Enroll
    COMMUNICATIONS STATEMENTS Statement on the Events of January 6, 2021: A New Day of Infamy on Behalf of the Nation’s Urban Public School Leaders By the Council of the Great City Schools School leaders, teachers, and educators from the nation’s urban public schools condemn the actions of the violent rioters who stormed and desecrated the Capitol at the encouragement of our president and his enablers. Make no mistake—this was not only an attack on the Capitol building, but on democracy itself. Citizens of the world are watching this display of lawlessness with shock and horror as the world’s beacon of civility—the shining “city upon a hill”—is reduced to a crime scene. Public school educators everywhere teach our children to respect our leaders, our institutions, and the process by which we as a nation choose our representatives, and we weep now at the loss of innocence and trust these events have wrought. Defiling our capitol and disrupting the work of the people’s House and Senate in an effort to overturn a free and fair election is a betrayal of our founding principles. Unfortunately, we are in this position because our president has lied repeatedly to the American public about who won this election and has promoted the treasonous notion that people should take matters into their own hands in attempting what is nothing short of insurrection. As we struggle to help our children understand how this happened and what it means, we should be clear about our collective outrage and our commitment to restoring peace and democracy in the months and years to come.

If we have learned anything from this historic moment spurred by the murder of George Floyd at the hands of Minneapolis police, it is that police cannot be trusted to keep us safe.

The Minneapolis Public School Board’s historic, unanimous vote this week to remove police from schools demonstrates that a police free schools future is both possible and necessary to protect the safety and humanity of Black and Brown children. Our organizations have spent the last few years highlighting the need for police free schools across the country, because we believe that in order for our nation’s students to truly thrive, their educational and socio-emotional needs must be met by those most qualified to meet those needs, like counselors, psychologists, and social workers.

  • 1 August 26, 2020 Board of Education Meeting Written Comments Received Monday, August 24Nd Through Thursday, August 27Th Submitt
    August 26, 2020 Board of Education Meeting Written Comments Received Monday, August 24nd through Thursday, August 27th Submitted via Written Comments Form 1 I am urging you to end the remaining contract with CPD in CPS. Beyond the common sense of not wanting to police CHILDREN, there are countless reports showing that children of color are much more likely to have negative interactions with police in schools. Black and brown children are much more likely to end up in jail or prison or with some type of record. This type of event in a child's life is traumatizing and so damaging to future educational and vocational opportunities. There is no evidence to show that police is schools make children or teachers safer! The money flowing to the already bloated budget for CPD could be used for sorely needed basics like social work, mental health resources and jobs training. If you really want our children to succeed do you think having police in schools is going to accomplish that?! 2 I urge the Board members to vote to end CPS's contract with CPD. As an alumna of 2 CPS schools and a lifelong Chicago resident I stand with CPS youth and alumni in calling for police free schools. Police do not make schools safer, they promote the school-to-prison pipeline and they enact violence on Black and brown students through harassment and excessive force. The 15 million dollars used on the police contract would be better spent in a myriad of ways including on counselors, nurses, transformative justice practitioners, trauma-informed response training for teachers, and so much more.
