Sustaining Action: A Teach-In

Friday, April 14, 2017, By News Staff
Share

graphicFollowing the success of February’s teach-in, “Sustaining Action: A Teach-In” is organized under a new theme: Building Inclusive Communities Through Social Action. This is the second in a series of teach-ins that addresses policy changes and issues affected by the Trump-Pence-Ryan agenda.

For many communities in Syracuse and across the country, the issues exacerbated by the current agenda are not new. Through panels, workshops and presentations, teach-in facilitators will discuss how local communities have been organizing around intersectional issues and how they are responding to new challenges. Grassroots organizing and community-building efforts are creating a vital political force that is successfully challenging policy on both a local and national level.

Topics and speakers include:

Free Speech & First Amendment Rights — Roy Gutterman

Workshop: Privilege and Inclusive Communities — InterFaith Works

Immigration Under Trump — Gladys McCormick & Jamie Winders

Syracuse Community Connections — Sharon F. Owens

Panel: Impacts of Defunding Science & Deregulating the Environment — Adam Patch, David Driesen, Paul Harris, Kerry A. Thurston

Restorative Justice Education & Disability Needs — Talina Jones

Panel: Private Prisons & Community-Police Relations in Syracuse — Yusuf Abdul-Qadir, Herve Comeau, Barrie Gewanter

Health Care Reform — Thomas Dennison

Rust Belt Resistance: Sustaining Action in the CNY Solidarity Coalition — Eric van der Vort & Dana Balter

Supporting Fair Housing in the Trump Era — John Yinger

Criminal Justice under the New Justice Department — Paula Johnson

This event is free and open to the public. We understand that not every important policy issue is being addressed at this teach-in, which is why the Radical Bureaucrats are committed to facilitating multiple events, as well as in the greater Syracuse community.

If community members or organizations would like to speak at future events, please email radicalbureaucrats@gmail.com. To request accommodations, please contact radicalbureaucrats@gmail.com as soon as possible.
