UCSB MCC Winter 2021 Event Calendar BLACK LIVES MATTER In 2013, #BlackLivesMatter was created as a Black-centered movement in response to the senseless murder of Trayvon Martin and the trial that resulted in his murderer’s acquittal. Its founders–Alicia Garza, Patrisse Cullors, and Opal Tometi–envisioned the movement as “an ideological and political intervention in a world where Black lives are systematically and intentionally targeted for demise.” With the deaths of Black women, especially Black trans women, and the lack of resources geared toward their protection, this movement centers those most vulnerable and marginalized. #BlackLivesMatter also serves as an affirmation of all Black humanity, their contributions, and resilience. The movement has grown over the years to a global network of over 40 chapters. The MultiCultural Center (MCC) respects, affirms and supports the mission and founding principles of #BlackLivesMatter. Over 30 years ago, the MCC was founded through the leadership of Black students and their subsequent protests to combat institutional racism and provide a welcoming space for marginalized students. Through educational programming, student engagement, and community outreach, we are committed to work that will uplift and center the Black community and other marginalized community members, across intersecting categories of difference. We are here to listen, take action, and collaborate with Black students, staff, and faculty at UCSB, as well as those people and institutions invested in doing anti-racist work. As our political climate continuously shifts, so too will our approaches as advocates and as agents of change. We will always ground our approaches in the ongoing struggle to transform the cultural and social life of the university and within our larger communities. Racism and other forms of oppression against Black, Indigenous, and People of Color have no place anywhere. Combatting systems of oppression requires a collective effort. We have to understand our worlds and our struggles as interconnected. We recognize that each one of us holds different privileges and different relationships to power. We also can cause harm. By understanding this, we can build effective, long-term transformational solidarity. All Black lives matter, and we offer our resolute support in affirming Black experiences and the right to justice and liberation, which will ultimately lead to liberation for all.

Such a space was intended to facilitate the retention and recruitment of students of color and to combat institutional racism and ethnocentrism. These aims were to be realized in part through educational programming, which would promote changes in attitudes and behaviors throughout the campus community. Out of this initial impulse and the ensuing dialogues among students and allied faculty and staff, the MultiCultural Center was born. Students of color joined with international students to share a space, which, it was hoped, would realize these initial demands, and increase communication among people of different cultures. In time, recognizing the need to be inclusive of diverse value orientations, the MCC mission was broadened to include combating racism, sexism, and heterosexism. UCSB struggles today with the same problems which necessitated the formation of the MCC. The MCC and concerned students, faculty, and staff continue to resist and confront these persistent forms of group oppression. In addition to continuing to provide a safe space for students of color, international students, and gay, lesbian, and bisexual students, the MCC serves as a bridge to the entire campus community. To that end, the MCC offers a broad spectrum of events including lectures, panel discussions, films and videos, musical, dance, and dramatic performances, and poetry readings, which are all open to the general public. It is vital that the MCC always remain an autonomous site under the direct control of the MCC Board, composed of students, staff, and faculty. The MCC strives to support student activism and maintain a mutually supportive relationship with its student users, as they work together in pursuit of a more just society. —The MultiCultural Center Board, April 20, 1995 www.mcc.sa.ucsb.edu @UCSBMCC A NOTE ON THE LAND WE OCCUPY The MCC wishes to acknowledge the traditional custodians of this place and all land upon which the University is located, and pay our respects to the Chumash Elders past, present, and future, for they hold the memories, the traditions, and the culture of this area, which has become a place of learning for people from all over the world.

This short film presents a profile of this extraordinary woman, whose life has become a symbol of resilience and power, not only of her own Mayan Quiché people, but of all the indigenous people of the Americas. It is a moving portrait of a self-taught woman who dreams of two things: a Guatemalan Congress integrating indigenous and nonindigenous men and women—and having a child “so I can plant my own seed, for better or worse.” 25 min, 1992 Spoken Word RECLAMATION AND RESISTANCE: AN EVENING OF POETRY WITH DENICE FROHMAN Thursday January 14, 7:30 pm PST Spoken Word/Zoom Link: https://ucsb.zoom.us/j/85911002658 Denice Frohman is a poet, performer, and educator from New York City.

Protesters trump Trump, Dec. 4 in Raleigh, N.C. Billionaire realtor Donald Trump has been trav- eling the country, filling stadiums with bigots and building a dangerous movement around a racist, ul- tra-right ideology. When he came to Raleigh, N.C., on Dec. 4, he was likely expecting much of the same. Instead, he was met outside the Dorton Arena by a militant, multinational demonstration and was then disrupted inside over 10 times — forcing the event to end early. Chants of “Hey, let’s be clear, no racists are wel- come here!” greeted Trump supporters from the mo- ment the doors to the arena first opened. The demon- stration quickly grew to several hundred. Many people — particularly young immigrant rights and Black Lives Matter activists — had traveled for hours to join the protest. A group of about a doz- en mostly young Muslims joined the rally and helped lead spirited chants denouncing racism, attacks on immigrants and Islamophobia. The rally outside lasted for nearly three hours. Chants of “Black Lives Matter,” “Undocumented and unafraid,” “Money for jobs and education, not for war and incarceration” rang out to confront those enter- ing the arena. It was a tremendous display of unity and solidarity. The crowd included Black, Latino/a, Arab and white youth and students, fast food workers, members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans* and queer communi- ties, and many others standing shoulder to shoulder.

  • Black Lives Matter” Has Become a Rallying Cry for a New Chapter in the Long Black Freedom Struggle
    1 Since the acquittal of Trayvon Martin’s killer in 2013 and the killing of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, in 2014, the phrase “black lives matter” has become a rallying cry for a new chapter in the long black freedom struggle. But this new movement’s penchant for disruptive protest and impassioned public speeches about persistent racial inequality have been disconcerting to many Americans who wonder what the end-game is for this new generation of protesters. Do black lives matter more than white lives? bystanders ask. Why can’t black people simply address the crime problem in their own communities? others want to know. And if the problems are really this bad, can’t voting for new political leaders solve them? sympathizers wonder. These are just some of the many questions surrounding this new movement. But the young people taking to the streets in protest have a righteous cause. They deserve a fair hearing. And we can begin by debunking a few myths about what the Black Lives Matter movement is and what it isn’t. 1. The movement doesn’t care about black-on-black crime. The idea that black-on-black crime is not a significant political conversation among black people is patently false. In Chicago, long maligned for its high rates of intraracial murder, members of the community created the Violence Interrupters to disrupt violent altercations before they escalate. However, those who insist on talking about black-on-black crime frequently fail to acknowledge that most crime is intraracial. Ninety-three percent of black murder victims are killed by other black people.

  • Movement MIC Check Report 2018
    REPORT SUMMARY M O V E M E N T M I C C H E C K RAPID RESPONSE TO RACIAL DISASTERS MOVEMENT MIC CHECK PAGE 1 photo credit: Paul Sableman under creative commons license https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/legalcode INTRODUCTION As we finalized this report, armed police and US military personnel were occupying St. Louis in the aftermath of yet another crisis of racialized violence. By the time you read this, they may be occupying your city. These constant uprisings are acute symptomatic manifestations of the enduring American crisis of structural racism. The government response to these man-made racial disasters has always been to treat surface symptoms. In light of this, local community members and national partners can and must come together to implement root- cause solutions. This report serves as a resource-building platform with 1) specific strategies for effective community response to crises of racialized violence, and 2) techniques for national and local partners to work together toward immediate and long-term structural shifts. When a racial crisis occurs in a community, we often see the same set of patterns emerge -- band-aid fixes are inexpertly applied by over-taxed community members. We have repeatedly seen local organizers scrambling for resources, struggling to fundraise, duplicating efforts around mobilizing supporters, tripping up over community defense and strategy development, and taking on multiple roles and functions until they burn out. MOVEMENT MIC CHECK PAGE 2 Without an established preparedness protocol and an assigned point person uniquely positioned to organize resources, local communities struggle to effectively bring about the long-term or short-term change they long for.

Black Lives Matter struggle By Minnie Bruce Pratt Activists with Millions March NYC began an occu- pation of New York City Hall Park the morning of Aug. 1. The protesters have renamed it “Abolition Square” to emphasize their commitment to a world without the state terror of policing. Organizers want the racist institution of the New York Police Department abolished and replaced by communi- ty-based policing that residents can hold accountable. As a path to that goal, activists said they would occu- py Abolition Square until Mayor Bill de Blasio met three key demands: fire Police Commissioner Bill Bratton and end “broken windows” policing; defund the New York Police Department and invest in Black, Brown and working-class communities; and provide reparations to victims’ families and survivors of police terrorism out of the NYPD budget. By the end of Aug. 2, the MMNYC activists had won their first demand. Despite corporate news articles saying it wouldn’t happen, Bratton announced his resignation. In a statement to WW, Monica Moorehead, Workers WW PHOTO: TONY MURPHY World Party presidential candidate, urged widespread support for Abolition Square.

Massive Mudslide Kills At Least 230 In Columbia s (Photo: Luis Robayo/Agence France-Presse) Near midnight on Saturday April 1, Colombia’s city of Mocoa was shaken by a destructive mudslide which killed over 230 people, many of whom were asleep in their beds at the time. Later that day, President Juan Manuel Santos declared a state of emergency and the National Unit for Disaster Risk Management searched through the mud to find victims and survivors. In addition to the 234 found dead, 200 others were injured and large numbers remain missing. President Santos tweeted about the disaster, “The tragedy of Mocoa hurts me as a president and as a human being. My heartfelt condolences to each family of the victims.” It is reported that doctors in Mocoa were overwhelmed by the number of patients and that hospitals were running low on blood supplies.
