Racism, Austerity and the Public Good
2021-04-07 17:00 - 18:30 | Online meeting
This is presented by the Oregon Labor Education Resource Center:
Racism, Austerity, and the Public Good: The Anti-Racist Imperative for Public Sector Unions
Daniel Hosang, Associate Professor of Ethnicity, Race & Migration at Yale University
Decades of attacks on public goods and services and demands for austerity and ‘taxpayer rights’ have had an enduring impact, evident in public ambivalence towards raising taxes and revenues and funding vital public services. This talk and discussion will focus on the role of race and racism in legitimating such attacks, and highlight the challenge and opportunities for public sector unions to join with others in a broad vision of public reconstruction.

Bystander training to stop anti-Asian harassment
2021-04-07 12:00 - 13:00 | Online meeting
This is a training offered by the organization Hollaback! and Asian Americans Advancing Justice.
The one-hour, interactive training will teach you Hollaback!’s 5D’s of bystander intervention methodology. We’ll start by talking about the types of disrespect that Asian and Asian American folks are facing right now — from microaggressions to violence — using a tool we call the “spectrum of disrespect.” 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 have time at the end for practice, and you’ll leave feeling more confident intervening the next time you see Anti-Asian/American harassment online or in person.
Multiple days/times available. Visit https://www.ihollaback.org/bystanderintervention/ for full calendar and info.

Black History is Washington History
2021-02-25 18:00 - 19:30
This program is presented by the Washington State History Museum and the Northwest African American Museum.
Celebrated artist Jacob Lawrence, one of the first nationally recognized Black artists, taught at University of Washington and lived much of his life in Seattle. His works are held in prestigious museums across the U.S. and internationally. George Bush was the first Black pioneer to settle in what is now Washington, and his migration is the subject of a series of paintings by Lawrence (held in the Washington State Historical Society’s collection).
Tune in for lively conversations about the contributions and experiences of these pioneering individuals with Leslie King-Hammond, a Jacob Lawrence scholar and founding director of the Center for Race and Culture at the Maryland Institute College of Art; Jason Turner, museum educator and tour guide at the Northwest African American Museum; Gwen Whiting, lead exhibitions curator at WSHS; and Beth Turner, author of Jacob Lawrence: The American Struggle.

Labor Black History 2021

In this conversation, Rev. Terry Melvin will expound on the concepts of solidarity and racial justice through the lens of personal narrative. His working-class experiences shaped his political consciousness as a life-long leader in the labor movement.

Most importantly, his faith guides his actions towards humanity and his efforts to build a strong labor movement.
