Seattle Medium COMMUNITY SERVICE - 3RD PLACE SEATTLE MEDIUM In September 2020, the Seattle Medium, in partnership with the Urban League of Metropolitan Seattle (ULMS), launched our 25 Alive Campaign to increase awareness of the financials struggles that many of our local, African American owned businesses were facing due to COVID restrictions and encourage our local community to support local businesses on a regular, ongoing basis by spending at least $25 a week with a Black-owned business. As part of the campaign, we ran weekly ads and a website campaign for 50 local businesses in our newspaper, at little to no-charge, from September 9, 2020 until the end of February 2021 (Black History Month) surrounded by messaging encouraging our readers to support these businesses in order to help them keep their doors open and their employees working through during a time when many businesses were closing their doors and laying off workers. In addition, we produced stories, conducted interviews on our weekly radio program and published podcasts on our website (seattlemedium.com) with business owners highlighting their business and the campaign. The campaign generated a broad base of support and led to increased cash flow for many of the businesses as a result of the campaign.

I cannot name them all, but a few are worthy of mention. Nancy Zussy, Ellen Levesque, Gayle Palmer, and Shirley Lewis at the Washington State Library were extremely helpful. Sid Snyder and Ralph Munro have each been treasured friends for more than 30 years. They probably know more about the history of this legislature than any other two people. I am honored and flattered that they would write brief forwards. There are many who have offered encouragement as I spent day after day seated at the microfilm machine in the Washington Room at the library. It is a laborious task; not easy on the eyes. They include my sons, Bruce and Tom, Scott Gaspard, Representative Shirley Hankins, Shelby Scates, Mike Layton, the late Gerald Sorte, Senator Bob Bailey, Sena- tor Ray Moore and his wife Virginia, Rowland Thompson, and numerous others who I know I’ve forgotten to mention. My special gratitude goes to Deanna Haigh who deciphered my handwriting and typed the manuscript.

  • Annual Report 2013
    ANNUAL REPORT 2013 2013 ANNUAL REPORT | 1 Dear Friends, At The Sentencing Project we view our work on justice reform as having three components – research, public education, and advocacy. During 2013 I believe we made substantial progress in all these areas, and contributed to the changing national climate for reform. Our research documented both disturbing trends and signs of hope. Our analysis of life imprisonment uncovered the striking fact that one of every nine people in prison is serving such a sentence. We also identified an intriguing shift in the racial dynamics of incarceration, particularly among women, noting that the black/white disparity ratio had been cut in half in the first decade of this century. And we found that there is a The Sentencing Project works for a fair and continuing trend of states closing prisons, with 17 doing so over the past three years. Each of these policy effective U.S. justice system by promoting reports received national press coverage and helped to launch a dialogue around the factors contributing to reforms in sentencing policy, addressing these developments. unjust racial disparities and practices, and Our public education work is ongoing, and takes place both at a national and a local level. We’re quite proud advocating for alternatives to incarceration. that our policy analyses and commentary are regularly featured in national media and editorial commentary. But we also place great value in working with policymakers and advocates around the country, as well as The image on pages 16 and 17 is a photograph delivering conference and workshop presentations to a wide variety of audiences each year.

    Tres artículos sobre Venezuela 12 Workers and oppressed peoples of the world unite! workers.org Vol. 61 No. 8 Feb. 21, 2019 $1 The world demands NO WAR ON VENEZUELA! By Sam Ordóñez Feb. 17 — Nearly a month since the start of the U.S.-orchestrated coup attempt in Venezuela, the conflict remains primarily inter- national because the coup plotters from the Venezuelan oligarchy and their U.S. masters have failed to gather forces within Venezuela capable of toppling the legitimate Bolivarian government. Massive demonstrations have shown that the majority of the population continue to support Maduro. And despite repeated calls by the counterrevolutionary self-proclaimed government, the Bolivarian National Armed Forces (FANB) have not split or joined the traitors, beyond a handful of individuals. The plotters are now openly inviting the U.S. military to inter- vene. The coup leaders have relied on the false claims of a human- itarian crisis, with the full cooperation of the U.S. and European news agencies, to justify the delivery of “humanitarian aid” as a way to open the gate to counterrevolution. But international organizations have objected to this ploy. “Humanitarian action needs to be independent of political, mili- tary or other objectives,” U.N. spokesman Stephane Dujarric told reporters in New York. (Reuters, Feb. 6) The Red Cross, which recently expanded its programs with sev- eral Venezuelan hospitals, rejected the mission of the U.S. Agency Haitians rebel for International Development. “We will not be participating in what against their is, for us, not humanitarian aid,” stated Colombia’s International government, raise Red Cross (ICRC) spokesperson Christoph Harnisch.

  • The Mrican American Press and the Holocaust
    32 The Journal of Intergroup Relations The MricanAmerican Press and the Holocaust 1 Felecia G. Jones Ross and Sakile Kai Camara Black owned and operated newspapers represent and advocate African-Americans' interests and concerns that the mainstream media have marginalized or ignored (Huspek, 2004; Hutton, 1993; Kessler, 1984; Lacy, Stephens & Soffin, 1991; Wilson & Gutierrez, 1995; ·· ;tl Wolseley, 1990). Appealing to principles of democracy and human rights, the black press has fought against the dominant society's oppression and mistreatment of Mrican Americans in the United States but also other groups worldwide. In editorials, articles and political cartoons, black press news coverage during both world wars pointed out the hypocrisy of a nation that symbolized democratic free­ dom to the world yet mistreated its own citizens at home (Kornweibel, 1994; Washburn, 1986). Human rights abuses anywhere, they argued, threatened human dignity and security everywhere (Carson, 1998).i This was especially true regarding black-owned and -operated news­ papers' uses of the Jewish Holocaust of the 1930s and 1940s as an opportunity to expand their human rights advocacy for groups other than Mrican Americans. Although the mainstream press in the United States published vivid reports of the Nazi brutality, it did not focus on the immorality of the practices in the way the African American press did. Drawing upon two leading newspapers, we will highlight how The Chicago Defender and The Pittsburgh Courier, in contrast to main­ stream coverage, underscored the importance of human rights as they related to issues of the Holocaust. This study thus seeks to remedy a tendency in a century's worth of academic description and analysis of the black press in the Felecia G.
