G20 Leaders: Are You Ready to Save Our Planet?
G20 Leaders: Are you ready to save our planet? As mayors of many of the world’s great cities, and on behalf of the hundreds of millions of citizens that we represent, we urge you -- G20 Heads of State -- to deliver on your commitments to tackle climate change, one of the world’s most pressing issues. Given the US intention to withdraw from the Paris Agreement, the resolve of the other 19 leaders at the upcoming G20 Summit to safeguard the future of our planet is more important than ever. Local leaders around the world stand together with you, redoubling our commitment to bold action on climate change, working with business leaders and citizens worldwide. We are inspired by the courage of more than 300 Climate Mayors from cities across the United States who have committed in the past weeks to adopt, honor and uphold the Paris Agreement. Hundreds of US cities, universities, and businesses have declared “We Are Still In” and committed to pursue ambitious climate goals, and to ensure that the US remains a global leader in reducing emissions. This group is now working on the creation of “America’s pledge”, an unprecedented effort to aggregate carbon reductions by cities, regions and businesses to ensure that the US achieves its Paris Agreement pledge. To deliver on the goals of the Paris Agreement requires unprecedented action: urgent reforms are needed in energy, transport, food and waste – driving investment in low carbon economies that will create jobs and improve public health. Research by C40 Cities demonstrates that major progress towards these goals needs to be underway by 2020, by which time global emissions need to have peaked. -

The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Mitch McConnell Speaker Majority Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate 1236 Longworth House Office Building 317 Russell Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Kevin McCarthy The Honorable Chuck Schumer Minority Leader Minority Leader United States House of Representatives United States Senate 2468 Rayburn House Office Building 322 Hart Senate Office Building Washington, DC 20515 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Speaker Pelosi, Majority Leader McConnell, Leader McCarthy and Leader Schumer: We write to express our deep concern and objection to the use of federal forces in U.S. cities. These forces are conducting crowd control on city streets and detaining individuals. Their threats and actions have as escalated events, and increased the risk of violence against both civilians and local law enforcement officers. These actions also jeopardize the many important ways federal and local law enforcement must work together to protect our cities and country. We urge you to immediately investigate the President and his administration’s actions. The unilateral deployment of these forces into American cities is unprecedented and violates fundamental constitutional protections and tenets of federalism. As you are well aware, President Trump threatened to deploy federal forces in Seattle to “clear out” a protest area and in Chicago to “clean up” the city. Seattle and Chicago authorities objected and threatened legal action to stop such actions. In Washington, DC outside Lafayette Park, extreme action was taken by federal law enforcement against protesters without the Mayor of DC’s approval. Now the administration has deployed federal forces to Portland despite the objections of local and state officials. -

The Oregonian Portland Police Chief Says
The Oregonian Portland Police Chief Says Federal Cops Were Told They'd Get Help at ICE Protest If They Were in Danger By Everton Bailey August 1, 2018 Portland Police Chief Danielle Outlaw announced Wednesday that the bureau told the Federal Protective Service it would respond to their officers' emergency calls if their safety was at risk during a 38-day-long protest outside Portland's Immigration and Customs Enforcement Building. The statement comes two days after the union representing ICE employees sent a letter to Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler claiming he banned local police from responding to 911 calls from federal officers during the Occupy ICE demonstrations. The union said it left employees vulnerable to threats of violence and harassment. In a response Tuesday, Wheeler said he ordered no such policy. Outlaw said police officers responded to 41 calls for service during the encampment at the ICE building in Southwest Portland, which began June 17 and ended July 25. Portland police made no arrests, and there were no significant injuries to anyone around the camp, she said. The demonstration was to protest the Trump administration's policy of separating migrant children from their parents at the U.S.-Mexico border. The encampment caused the ICE building to be closed for eight days because of security concerns.

The ACLU appreciates the opportunity to provide feedback on this important PPB policy. I. Introduction The City of Portland has long prided itself as a hub for First Amendment activity. In its recent report, the Crowd Control Workgroup of the Citizen Review Committee noted that ACLU Comments on PPB Proposed Directive 635.10 February 15, 2017 Page 2 “Portland has a very engaged and activist-minded citizenry,” with numerous public marches and large crowds each year.1 Public assemblies enrich the fabric of Portland by providing: a means of expression when people feel unheard through other methods a beacon of solidarity and connection for people impacted by the issues subject to protest a vehicle to spark conversations and debate about important issues an opportunity to form community and connections, leading to constructive engagement, organizing and action The City cannot sustain these benefits without PPB policies that clearly support, and do not suppress, the exercise of First Amendment rights. -
Constructing a Security Threat?
Constructing a Security Threat? Identifying Securitization in US State Level Politics Framing of the BLM Protests Rebecka Bjuremalm Supervisor: Josefina Erikson Bachelor Thesis, Political Science Department of Government Uppsala University, Spring 2021 Word count: 11,723 Page count: 43 Abstract This thesis investigates US state level politics framing of the BLM protests during 2020, by inductively identifying frames and then proceeding to study if and on what grounds securitization occurs in these. Press statements, interviews and documents from eight Mayors and Governors in six of the states where the protests have been the most prominent are analyzed. From this material, four frames have been identified: the alienated outsider frame, the constructive rage frame, the limited guardian frame, and the desecuritizing frame. Recent developments in securitization theory investigate human life and dignity as a reference object, making a case for integrating humanitarianism in terms of grounds for justifying extraordinary measures. Three grounds for securitization are investigated empirically in the identified frames: state, social and humanitarian security. The study concludes that whilst both state security and to a lesser degree humanitarian security are detected in the identified frames, societal security seems to be the most prominent. This suggests that large-scale identities are the most common reference objects in the treated context. Further research is encouraged, especially in terms of distinguishing potential frame alignment processes by looking at a greater number of states over a longer period of time. Key words: securitization, Copenhagen School, framing analysis, protest movements, Black Lives Matter, securitized citizens, contentious politics 2 List of Abbreviations BLM: Black Lives Matter ACLED: The Armed Conflict Location & Event Data Project PACT: Protecting American Communities Task Force DHS: Department of Homeland Security B.I.E.: Black Identity Extremists IACHR: Inter-American Commission on Human Rights 3 Table of Contents 1. -
August 31, 2020 the Honorable Mitch Mcconnell Majority Leader United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 the Honorable Chuck
August 31, 2020 The Honorable Mitch McConnell The Honorable Chuck Schumer Majority Leader Minority Leader United States Senate United States Senate Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 The Honorable Nancy Pelosi The Honorable Kevin McCarthy House Speaker Minority Leader United States House of Representatives United States House of Representatives Washington, DC 20510 Washington, DC 20510 Dear Leader McConnell, Speaker Pelosi, Leader Schumer, and Leader McCarthy: We write to urge you to include language in the next the coronavirus relief package to extend statutory reporting deadlines for the 2020 Census by four months. Further, we implore you to include language to extend the deadline for data collection to October 31, 2020. We are alarmed by the U.S. Census Bureau's August 3rd announcement that it would finish collecting data for the decennial count by September 30, 2020. This move will rush the enumeration process, result in inadequate follow-up, and undercount immigrant communities and communities of color who are historically undercounted. Senior career staff at the Census Bureau have publicly stated that meeting the statutory deadlines is impossible because of the delays that have already occurred. This decision to rush the Census in the wake of a pandemic raises concerns about the Bureau’s ability to accurately and completely count every person living in the United States. A rushed Census would hurt a diverse range of rural and urban communities, leaving them underrepresented locally and in Congress and cutting their fair share of federal funding for Medicaid, economic development, child care, schools, road and public transit improvements, home heating assistance for senior citizens, and many more vital services. -
The Oregonian Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Loses Top Aide to Trimet Free Biketown Month 'Smashed' Previous Ridership Records
The Oregonian Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler Loses Top Aide to TriMet By Gordon Friedman June 6, 2018 Maurice Henderson, chief of staff to Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, will leave the mayor's office to take a job as the chief operating officer of TriMet, Henderson said Wednesday. Henderson said his last day with the mayor's office will likely be in early July and that Wheeler has not yet selected his replacement. Likely candidates include the mayor's deputy chiefs of staff, Michael Cox and Kristin Dennis. Wheeler said in a statement that he is "extremely happy for Maurice" and called him "a trusted friend" and effective chief of staff. Henderson said serving on the mayor's team of advisers has been "one of my greatest professional and personal honors." While working in City Hall, Henderson oversaw the recruitment of a diverse team of mayoral aides and headed negotiations to hire Police Bureau Chief Danielle Outlaw -- the city's first African American woman police chief. He also helped the mayor gain City Council approval to issue the first installment in what Wheeler hopes will eventually be $600 million in bonds to fix streets, sidewalks and parks. Before working for Wheeler, Henderson was assistant director of the Portland Bureau of Transportation and worked for several Washington, D.C. mayors and former Virginia Gov. Tim Kaine.

Kurt Hummel’s Language Features in Glee Television Series Season 1: A Sociolinguistic Analysis. Yogyakarta: English Language Education Study Program, Sanata Dharma University. The use of language by individuals is influenced by many factors. Gender is one factor that influences the use of language. In this research, gender is seen to be different from sex. It is seen as a social construction rather than as a fixed category. As a result, women and men do not stick to one language style but change it based on their social context. Therefore, the researcher was interested in analyzing the women’s language used by a feminine man named Kurt Hummel in Glee Television Series Season 1. In conducting the research, a research question was formulated: What women’s language features does Kurt Hummel use in his speech in Glee Television Series Season 1? The research was qualitative research in which discourse analysis was employed to analyze the data. -
