  • The Soundtrack of Mental Health
    Greetings! 2018 was a stellar year for our organization. We have been busy in the trenches in the Atlanta community and across the nation making strides in erasing the stigma around mental health and poverty. Leading the way has been our mental health efforts, largely in part to the Silence the Shame (STS) movement. #SilenceTheShame is now a commonly used hashtag in the fight against stigma, especially in communities of color. Due to the overwhelming response to the movement, programs, and outcomes, our team and the Board of Directors felt that a name change of the foundation from the Hip-Hop Professional Foundation, Inc. (HHPF) to Silence the Shame, Inc. is a better representation of our efforts and focus moving forward. The name change will occur in 2019. The foundation’s work last year was impactful and plentiful given our limited funding with the hard work of our small but mighty staff and volunteer committee. We completed a 7-city teen mental health tour with the Jack and Jill Foundation, Inc., impacting teens in New York, Texas, Illinois, California and the District of Columbia. In addition, we secured a partnership with the Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Disabilities to curate work- shops and trainingsaround Behavioral Health and Faith in the State of Georgia. Finally, we produced successful Community Conversations with partners in music, technology, film and entertainment. The National Day Calendar recognized our efforts and officially proclaimed May 5th as National Silence the Shame day. We used that platform to raise funds for the foundation. Donors and supporters participated in a national text-a-thon on May 5th by donating/posting to social media.

  • The Justice in Policing Act of 2020 in the U.S
    June 23, 2020 Honorable Nancy Pelosi Speaker of the House 1236 Longworth House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Honorable Kevin McCarthy Republican Leader 2468 Rayburn House Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Dear Speaker Pelosi and Leader McCarthy: Since the killing of George Floyd just one month ago, our country has seen protests grow, attitudes shift, and calls for change intensify. We in the music and entertainment communities believe that Black lives matter and have long decried the injustices endured by generations of Black citizens. We are more determined than ever to push for federal, state, and local law enforcement programs that truly serve their communities. Accordingly, we are grateful for movement of the Justice in Policing Act of 2020 in the U.S. House of Representatives and urge its quick passage. The Justice in Policing Act is not about marginal change; it takes bold steps that will make a real, positive difference for law enforcement and the communities they serve. We celebrate the long- overdue rejection of qualified immunity, emphasizing that law enforcement officers themselves are not above the law – that bad cops must be held accountable and victims must have recourse. We applaud the provisions to ban chokeholds and no-knock warrants, to establish a national police misconduct registry, to collect data and improve investigations into police misconduct, to promote de-escalation practices, to establish comprehensive training programs, and to update and enhance standards and practices. This legislation will not only promote justice; it will establish a culture of responsibility, fairness, and respect deserving of the badge. Our communities and nation look to you to take a stand in this extraordinary moment and we respectfully ask that you vote YES on the Justice in Policing Act of 2020.

    Alyssa Milano: Sorry Not Sorry White Nationalism in the White House Katie McHugh and Hassan Ahmad, guests Original Air Date March 2, 2020 **TRANSCRIPT** [00:00:08] Hi, I'm Alyssa Milano, and this is Sorry Not Sorry. Alyssa Milano [00:00:34] It's no secret that members of the Trump administration, up to and including Trump himself, are parroting the views of white nationalist and white extremist groups. These organizations are tied into alt-right media outlets like Breitbart and others where they spread this propaganda to the masses. [00:00:55] We're going to try something a little different today. I'll be joined by a guest co- host Hassan Ahmad is an immigration attorney and anti white-nationalist activist from Virginia. Hassan has been deeply involved in obtaining the archived writings of John Tanton, one of the men behind the current white nationalist movement in America. Hassan connected me with Katy McHugh. Katie is a former white nationalist who has renounced her views and is working hard to undo the damage she did when she held them. She's a former staffer for Breitbart and other alt-right media, where she was in constant correspondence with Stephen Miller at the Trump White House. She's exposed those emails and the deep ties of Miller into the white nationalist movement in America. Charlottesville alt-right Protestor [00:01:50] You will not replace us Reporter [00:02:07] Highmark sees overlap between Trump's message and white nationalist ideology. “He has shown us that the majority of everyday Americans support our sort of message.” White Nationalist [00:02:18] You know what?

  • Demographic Representation and Collective Storytelling in the Me Too Twitter Hashtag Activism Movement
    Demographic Representation and Collective Storytelling in the Me Too Twitter Hashtag Activism Movement AARON MUELLER, Johns Hopkins University ZACH WOOD-DOUGHTY, Johns Hopkins University SILVIO AMIR, Johns Hopkins University MARK DREDZE, Johns Hopkins University ALICIA L. NOBLES, University of California San Diego The #MeToo movement on Twitter has drawn attention to the pervasive nature of sexual harassment and violence. While #MeToo has been praised for providing support for self-disclosures of harassment or violence and shifting societal response, it has also been criticized for exemplifying how women of color have been discounted for their historical contributions to and excluded from feminist movements. Through an analysis of over 600,000 tweets from over 256,000 unique users, we examine online #MeToo conversations across gender and racial/ethnic identities and the topics that each demographic emphasized. We found that tweets authored by white women were overrepresented in the movement compared to other demographics, aligning with criticism of unequal representation. We found that intersected identities contributed differing narratives to frame the movement, co-opted the movement to raise visibility in parallel ongoing movements, employed the same hashtags both critically and supportively, and revived and created new hashtags in response to pivotal moments. Notably, tweets authored by black women often expressed emotional support and were critical about differential treatment in the justice system and by police. In comparison, tweets authored by white women and men often highlighted sexual harassment and violence by public figures and weaved in more general political discussions. We discuss the implications of work for digital activism research and design including suggestions to raise visibility by those who were under-represented in this hashtag activism movement.
