 Apportionment of many legislative and Congressional seats, and allocation of federal program funding rely on the figures from the decennial census (every 10 years by Constitutional mandate). Trump has been screwing with the census to promote an undercount of underserved communities of color. Online at https://2020census.gov/ Deadline extended by courts  after tRump tried to end it in September prematurely — he intends to illegally exclude undocumented people from the tally, even though the Constitution requires enumerating all persons.

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 We also have one monthly “Online Sunday Dialogue” which was originally made available for folks who cannot make it to meetings in LA, or on Saturdays.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.

All attendees are encouraged , but not required, to read the associated module texts in our class reader which can be found here: https://d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net/dsala/pages/1144/attachments/original/1536370461/ClassOnClass_Reader_Sept2018.pdf?1536370461

Topanga Peace Alliance First Friday Film night. The hit documentary “The Social Dilemma” describes how the technology that connects us also controls us.  This is especially timely given how dark forces are using social media to try to sway the outcome of the 2020 U.S. elections. Features high level tech insiders as interviewees interwoven with dramatic examples of how social media impacts our lives. So many insiders from Facebook, Twitter, Google, LinkedIn, etc. willing to speak out about these apps and agree that they are horrific mistakes with the potential to destroy people’s lives and the planet itself, speaks volumes. Zoom event opens around 7:15. Before the film, we will have announcements regarding upcoming events and actions for peace and social justice, especially regarding the upcoming elections.

From Prop 209 to Prop 16: Historical, Legal & Activist Perspectives on Affirmative Action, 12n PDT / 3p EDT on Zoom; For ASL and other disability issues, email crs@law.ucla.edu. Californians have endured a statewide ban on race- and gender-based affirmative action policies since the passage of Proposition 209, which is widely recognized for its devastating impact on advancing racial justice in labor and education. The 2019 federal court case against Harvard University alleging that affirmative action policies discriminate against Asian-Americans amplifies the need for improved public understanding of affirmative action policies as legal remedies to recognize and dismantle racial harm. In November, passage of Proposition 16 would restore affirmative action in CA. Join us for this panel discussing the legacies of Prop 209 and the promise of Prop 16.

Moderator Prof Vinay Harpalani; panelists:

• Dr. César Cruz, author of Revenge of the Illegal Alien, participant in 1995 hunger strike vs Prop 209
• Prof Cheryl Harris, R & A Gilbert Prof in Civil Rights & Civil Liberties, UCLA School of Law
• Prof Jerry Kang, Distinguished Prof of Law and Asian American Studies, and Founding Vice Chancellor for Equity, Diversity and Inclusion, UCLA School of Law

Since George Floyd’s murder May 25, over 250 of all ethnicities have been murdered by police and many wounded, victims of police brutality;1000 killed annually by US police, over 300 of whom are African Americans. Jail killer cops. Reopen all closed cases involving police brutality and killings. No special rights for cops! No “qualified immunity”! Thru this emergency conference we can form a Mass Action Coalition to Jail Killer Cops which could urge local areas to organize massive, peaceful, legal demonstrations nationwide November 7. Since George Floyd’s murder, tens of millions have marched for justice. Unite and coordinate our movement as other struggles against war, for immigrants’ and civil rights, women’s rights and labor unions have done. Thus, building a new, independent coalition, open to all who support our goals, should be our priority. That will make it more likely that police officers who commit violent crimes against us be prosecuted and jailed. Initiated by SWP. Initial Speakers:

Aislinn Pulley, Co-Executive Director of Chicago Torture Justice Center, founder of Black Lives Matter

Danette Chavis, founder, National Action Against Police Brutality and Murder

August Nimtz, Political science professor U. of Minnesota. Author, “Why There Are No George Floyds in Cuba.”

DSA-LA Class on Class: Surplus Value & Exploitation, 6-7:30p via zoom.

This second module is designed to deepen our understanding of this exchange between capital and labor—the exchange upon which capitalistic production, or the wage system, is founded. Examining and discussing these concepts together will strengthen our ability to more effectively communicate (and thereby advance) our collective class interests by articulating precisely how and why the relationship between labor and capital is an antagonistic, exploitative one. We’ll investigate how value is created and extracted from workers, why unemployment serves capitalist interests, why capitalism cannot avoid periodic crises, and more.

DSA-LA Class on Class: Class Struggle & Political Struggle, 6-7:30p, see Oct 1 for details. How do we free ourselves from this exploitation in an era of global capitalist hegemony? How does working class power manifest in a system where liberation requires nothing short of revolution? And how is that power wielded? The fight against the ruling class begins with the realization of class consciousness – achieved through both economic and political struggle – and the fight for true democracy and liberation is inextricably tied to the fight for dignity and control of the workplace. If the emancipation of the oppressed under capitalism can only be achieved through their own struggle, then the third Class explores the different tools at our disposal to combat this oppression: the union, the strike, and the political party – their strengths, their shortcomings, and their fallacies – in building class consciousness, directly confronting capital, and spreading the revolutionary spirit.

The PXL-2000 (Pixelvision) is a toy camera, manufactured by Fisher-Price from 1987-89, that records on quarter-inch audio cassette tape. The low resolution and high contrast was made for kids, but became suitable for artists. Today Pixelators are merging Pixelvision with cell phones and live twitchy streaming. Electronic Folk Art . . . Lo-Fi Hi-Jinx !
