AWARE-LA White anti-racist Saturday dialogues, https://www.awarela.org/saturday-dialogue Saturday Dialogue is a gathering for white anti-racists who want to discuss issues of identity, community, privilege and racism in our lives with the intention to strengthen our practice as anti-racists in alliances, relationships, and interactions with people of color.
Regular, recurring dialogues throughout the year focus on the intersections of multiple identities, including Race and Class, Sexuality and Race, and Gender and Race. Other workshops focus on relationships, Radical White Identity and Community, and issues such as police and the prison industrial complex, immigration, and gentrification.
We currently have four monthly Saturday Dialogues, which used to meet in various places throughout LA County, and are temporarily meeting online through Zoom. We also have one monthly “Online Sunday Dialogue” which was originally made available for folks who cannot make it to meetings in LA, or on Saturdays. Sign up here https://actionnetwork.org/forms/aware-la-email-list/ to receive reminder emails about Saturday Dialogues. We strongly encourage you to attend a Saturday Dialogue Orientation before attending a Saturday Dialogue. See below for more info.

Through July 7 – Voting on Pacifica Bylaws replacement that would eliminate local oversight at KPFK and other Pacifica stations, segregate unpaid producers and programmers into a new third class of membership (thereby giving the paid staff a veto power over any subsequent substantive Bylaws amendments), and open the door to sale or swap if Pacifica’s FCC broadcast frequencies. You must have become a member by April 7, 2021 to vote. Only about 20% of listeners and 30% of staff have voted yet, so your voice and vote in opposition to these undemocratic changes, and in support of democracy and diversity at KPFK and Pacifica are crucially needed. More information at https://pacificafightback.org and https://elections.pacifica.org
Through July 14 (extended to July 21) – If you become a member of listener sponsored KPFK by June 30, you qualify to run, nominate others, or vote for delegates to the KPFK Local Station Board through July 14 (extended to July 21) (assuming the above-mentioned Bylaws change is defeated). Nine seats are open for listener members, and three for staff, in an election scheduled to begin in August. More information at https://pacificafightback.org and https://elections.pacifica.org

July 1 – THU
Public conversation: Compassion & Self-Deception, The Box Gallery – In The Box Parking Lot, 822 E. Third Street, LA, CA 90013, 6-8:30p. with Pastor Cue Jn-Marie, Aryeh Cohen, Matt Harper, Robby Herbst and moderated by Michael Alexander. A project of Los Angeles Poverty Department with support from CAL HUM. 213 413-1077, info@lapovertydept.org, https://lapovertydept.org
“Compassion & Self-Deception” takes on the mind-boggling contradictions of a city that votes to create housing for homeless people –and then doesn’t want any of it built anywhere near them: whether that be permanent housing, or temporary housing. LAPD invited visual artist Robby Herbst to help unravel the situation and he has produced a 12-page broadsheet exploring the socio-emotional impact of LA’s housing catastrophe: “Compassion and Self Deception: A Guide To Los Angeles’ Moral Crisis.” Whether you’re able to attend the event we’d love to mail you a copy. To order a free copy of the guide, send your postal address to Robby Herbst/Llano Del Rio at llanodelrio@gmail.com. In developing the guide, Herbst engaged three deeply spiritual, social activists: Pastor Stephe “Cue” Jn-Marie, founder of Skid Row’s Church Without Walls, Matt Harper of the LA Catholic Worker community, and activist, rabbi, and scholar Aryeh Cohen.
The July 1 conversation, moderated by UCR Professor of religious studies, Michael Scott Alexander, will be a chance to talk about the moral crises and contradiction-induced stasis — what perpetuates it and how to undo it.
Cue, Matt, Aryeh, Robby and Michael will dialogue in person around the questions:
“How Should an Angeleno React to the Suffering They Encounter on a Daily Basis?” and
“How can we understand LA? – a living contradiction; a place where some people put care for the civic body above all else, while others, in the words of Curtis Mayfield, “would hurt all mankind just to save his own.”

Dialectics of Race, Class, and Gender: Debating Raya Dunayevskaya’s Intersectional Marxism, 9a-3:30p, via Zoom: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/83241086972?pwd=cjcvUjE3RlVVNEZpMkQ4TEszVk1ldz09
Sponsored by the International Marxist-Humanist Organization, the Paulo Freire Democratic Project, Chapman University, and others TBA.
This mini-conference will celebrate and debate the new book, Raya Dunayevskaya’s Intersectional Marxism: Race, Class, Gender, and the Dialectics of Liberation (Palgrave Macmillan, 2021). The first-ever volume devoted to an assessment the writings of Raya Dunayevskaya (1910-1987), this book includes essays by philosophers, social theorists, feminists, and anti-racist activists. Many of these authors will be presenting on their research on Dunayevskaya for the book at this conference, as will other noted thinkers familiar with her work. At this mini-conference, we seek to connect the writings of an often-marginalized thinker to the issues facing the global movement for liberation in an era of great promise but also one of great threats to our very existence. In so doing, we will explore Dunayevskaya’s underlying humanism, the connections she drew between race, gender, and class, and her critical appropriation into her Marxist-Humanism of the writings of Hegel, Marx, Fanon, and Luxemburg, as well as the insights of the grassroots movements of her time on the part of rank-and-file workers, women, youth, and Black and other oppressed minorities.

Art Share L.A. REOPENS to the public with 6 – 9 PM for two exhibitions in our Main and Perimeter Galleries. Main Gallery: “Defiance of Juncture”, a group survey exhibition highlighting Los Angeles contemporary artists across multiple art practices. What is defiance? Is it an action? An idea? Is it contained within a movement? An object? How does operating in that defiance define the point in time? How does defiance or the definition of defiance differ throughout time? “May You Live In Interesting Times”, the title for the 58th Venice Biennale in 2019, unknowingly predicted the sentiment of humanity just eight months later. “Interesting Times” would prove to be an understatement, as the COVID-19 pandemic, alongside numerous uprisings in the country, gave way to the defiance of current conditions in many facets of our society. Analyzing these conditions has allowed for constant dialogue among humanity about the actions of the past and present and eventually how they will affect our future. This has given us the opportunity to create what’s to come. Perimeter Gallery: Let’s Paint The Town (Quarantine Murals) & Selections: LA Street Photographers – dual Exhibition.

Public · Hosted by Chalice Community Forum and Chalice Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of the Conejo Valley
Topics to include:
• The high cost of hidden wealth
• Who are the wealth defenders?
• Solutions to wealth hiding
For decades, a secret army of tax attorneys, accountants and wealth managers has been developing into the shadowy Wealth Defense Industry. These “agents of inequality” are paid millions to hide trillions for the richest 0.01%. Chuck Collins discusses the inner workings of how the world’s richest pay next to no tax and outlines ways to shut down the Wealth Defense Industry for good.
Chuck Collins is a senior scholar at the Institute for Policy Study where he directs the Program on Inequality and the Common Good and co-edits Inequality.org. He is a founding member of Patriotic Millionaires and co-founded United for a Fair Economy (UFE). Chuck Collins has co-authored several IPS reports including “White Supremacy Is the Pre-Existing Condition: Eight Solutions to Ensure the Economic Recovery Reduces the Racial Wealth Divide.” He has authored numerous books, including Born on Third Base: A One Percenter Makes the Case for Tackling Inequality, Bringing Wealth Home, and Committing to the Common Good and Wealth Hoarders: How Billionaires Pay Millions to Hide Trillions http://www.wealthhoarders.com.

Bystander Intervention To Stop Police Sponsored Violence And Anti-black Racist Harassment, 11:00AM PT. Register Here: https://zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_HQasd1bER5CBiWPb_Qf8eQ
Hollaback! Is offering this free, one-hour, interactive training to train people on how to safely intervene in the face of police violence and anti-black racism using Hollaback!’s 5D’s of bystander intervention.
We’ll start by talking about the types of violence and racism black folks are facing right now — from microaggressions to murder — using a tool we call the “spectrum of racism.” We’ll talk about how anti-black racism is so ingrained into the fabric of our society that we see it present in all forms, from everyday tasks or activities to larger societal institutions. We’ll discuss the deep impact harassment, violence, and constant threat of violence has on black communities.
You’ll learn what to look for and the positive impact that bystander intervention has on individuals and communities. We’ll talk through five strategies for intervention: distract, delegate, document, delay, and direct; and how to prioritize your own safety while intervening. We’ll also talk about what to do if you’re a person of color worried the violence will turn on you and how to avoid being a “white savior.” We’ll have time at the end for practice, and you’ll leave feeling more confident intervening the next time you see police sponsored, anti-black harassment or violence.

On July 25th at 5 pm PT/ 8 pm ET, we’ll have an open discussion to define ableism, explore how it functions in our society to uphold white supremacy culture, and discuss how antiracist activists can embrace anti-ableism in their movement work.

Is South L.A. Forging a New American Identity? Zocalo Public Square • Arizona State University • Smithsonian, A Zócalo/Esperanza Community Housing Event at Mercado La Paloma, 3655 S Grand Ave.
LA 90007. South Los Angeles, one of the West Coast’s last great working-class places, has been a destination point for two great migrations: African Americans arriving from the South and East, and, more recently, Latin Americans immigrating to Southern California. While media have long dwelled on examples of interracial and interethnic conflict there, the everyday reality of South L.A.’s ever-changing neighborhoods has revolved around Black-Brown co-existence, cooperation, and innovative multiracial organizing. How have South Central’s diverse residents managed to find solidarity in unsettling and polarizing times? What new and shared place-based identities have emerged from the area’s mix of histories and cultures? And what can the rest of L.A., and the U.S., learn from South L.A.? USC sociologists Pierrette Hondagneu-Sotelo and Manuel Pastor, co-authors of South Central Dreams: Finding Home and Building Community in South L.A., visit Zócalo to explore the lessons of South L.A.’s struggles and successes. This event is produced in partnership with South Central Innervisions: An AfroLatinxFuturisms multidisciplinary arts festival on July 31, 2021 at Mercado La Paloma. Zócalo is thrilled to host our first in-person event of the year! We will also be streaming the event, either in real-time or the following day.

A SURJ webinar, Fighting the Right’s Attack on Critical Race Theory, Tuesday, July 27 at 5 pm PT / 8 ET Register at https://bit.ly/SURJ-CRT
Our movements are strong and we are winning. In response, the Right is expanding racist strategies – and their latest tactic is attacking Critical Race Theory (CRT). With CRT as their latest dog whistle, the Right-wing media is going so far as to blame CRT for a host of things like last summer’s Black Lives Matter protests, diversity and equity trainings in companies, and LGBT clubs in schools.
As of today, 26 states have either passed or have pending legislation to ban talking about systemic racism in the classroom. Educators, especially Black educators, are being threatened or fired for teaching about our country’s racist history.
The Right is looking to mobilize their base to turn out for the 2022 midterm elections using CRT as a hook. Along the way, they will also develop new leaders and elect new Right-wing, anti-public-school officials to local school boards and state legislators.
In the face of these attacks, education and racial justice organizations such as the African American Policy Forum, The Alliance to Reclaim Our Schools (AROS), BlackLivesMatter in Schools, and SURJ members have been organizing locally and nationally to say no to such flagrant white nationalism, efforts to obscure our country’s true history, and building alternatives for racial justice in education.
In this webinar we’ll hear from Zakiyah Ansari, Advocacy Director at the Alliance for Quality Education, Barbara Gross from EJ-ROC at the NYU Metro Center, Scot Nakagawa from Change Lab, and SURJ chapter members who are leading fights in their communities.
We’ll learn about the Right’s strategy with these attacks as well as how we can effectively organize to bring more white people into anti-racism and counter the far right’s white nationalist recruitment through organizing for racial justice in education. Let’s make it clear that the truth about our history and ongoing systemic racism and white supremacy hurts us all.

Virtual Conference on Qualified Immunity: When Protecting Officers Leaves the Community Vulnerable, 9-11a, online.
L.A. County residents are invited to a virtual conference to learn about qualified immunity protections afforded to law enforcement officers. Across the United States, law enforcement officers have been given permission to steal from private citizens (Jessop v. City of Fresno), to shoot an innocent 10-year old in the knee (Corbitt v. Vickers), and to destroy an innocent person’s home with tear gas grenades (West v. City of Caldwell). All three of these cases were dismissed because of the court-made doctrine of qualified immunity. In this virtual conference, panel speakers will explain what qualified immunity is and how it functions. The panelists will highlight concerns about holding law enforcement officers accountable for violating people’s civil rights and will discuss the obstacles of eliminating qualified immunity. The panelists will also provide an update on what is being done at the state and federal level to eliminate qualified immunity and provide solutions as to what oversight bodies can do to assist in the fight to hold law enforcement officers accountable.
