Re: Supreme Court Rules for Death by Covid

This is one of the more intelligent articles I have read and it underscores the corruption of the Supreme Court. I am 89 going on 90 and have lived through other epidemics. When polio and TB ravaged  the land we took our vaccinations, no questions. It was that or be shut down. When I went to the army we stood in line although a lot of muscular inductees passed out at the sight of the needle. (I would have hated to have been in combat with them). We went through a period where through "Bone Spurs" Trump's incompetence and chicanery killed over a million Americans. Now the Supreme Court that was once the most respected American institution has empowered those in the killing fields to slaughter even more. Criminal. Thanks for the Portside article. https://portside.org/2022-01-14/supreme-court-rules-death-covid

Re: Children Belong in School. That’s Why We Support the Chicago Teachers Union.

(posting on Portside Labor)

I have spoken with an activist from the Chicago Teachers' Union on social occasions in the past. My impression, from that limited exposure, is that the Union is very pro-kid, pro-family, and enlightened about what constitutes good education. The union is probably a great source for guidance because they have so much on the ground experience, linked with sincere concern. Why not listen to them?

Re: The Bernie Left Is Taking on Machine Politics — and Each Other

This article is about the age old story - the left abandoning our primary weapon - SOLIDARITY . I'm definitely not the first to observe and experience this. And I'm not the only one to understand that SOLIDARITY is our one most powerful device. And loosing that solidarity means, inevitably, the death of the Movement. And yes, experience teaches that those opposed to social justice and equality, knowing this truth, will do everything to promote disharmony. I would guess that every movement, over the many years, has ended - unrealized - because of their work.

I fear we are at the end.....unless we learn some new approaches....we are doomed. So the biggest and most pressing question is; What are we going to do about it. Build our solidarity and unity around all the possible answers to that question.

Sounds like a real challenge and one we have 't tried yet.

Re: Progressives to Clinton and Other Corporate Democrats: 'Back Off' on Election Advice

Their advice and the advice of the "strategists" always the same: move to the centre. This same advice is given in all situations, for all elections, to all candidates.

Now that the "centre" has been shifted by Trump to the fringes of fascism, the advice remains the same.

But who decides where the "centre" is? The strategists' answer: Let the other side do that. Then creep up close to them and claim to be more "competent" or "responsible".

Re: Martin Luther King, Jr., Internationalist

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE POLITICS OF MLK AND THE RELIGIOUS RIGHT?

The Religious Right seeks to impose an imperial Christ upon the world, Dr. King sought to walk in the humble footsteps of Jesus in pursuit of the common good.

The Religious Right prays for blessings upon the status quo, Dr. King prayed for a revolution in values. 

The Religious Right worships Christ as a ruler, Dr. King saw Jesus in the faces of the poor and oppressed.

The Religious Right seeks to glorify the nation, Dr. King sought to lift up the principles of democracy. He was a citizen of the whole world.

The Religious Right believes peace comes from law and order, Dr. King believed peace is only possible when there is justice.

The Religious Right can be identified by their willingness to inflict suffering in pursuit of what they think is right, followers of Dr. King could be identified by their willingness to endure suffering to live in solidarity with any being mistreated.

The Religious Right calls us to our worst frustrations and fears, Dr. King called us to our best hopes.

Re: America’s Hidden Fire Kindling - For-Profit Housing

I started working for HUD in the 1970s. Up until then, I thought I was a Socialist; after starting to work for HUD, I decided I was actually a Capitalist and that the US was not a Capitalist country; at least, if you think of "Capitalist" as a country that doesn't provide special financial advantages to private business. Of course, despite the fact that our major publicized purpose was to assure suitable housing for everyone, the major function of HUD's programs were to (in order of priority): (1) Provide tax shelters for the wealthy; (2) provide jobs for the middle class, e.g., people like me; and (3) Finally, spend some of the money on housing for people who would not have been able to afford it otherwise. However, the entire cost of the housing was attributed to the group getting the least benefit and were demonized for receiving Government support. So what else is new?

I learned over the years that a similar dynamic was true in other governmental programs.

Re: Why is So Little Known About the 1930s Coup Attempt Against FDR?

This piece has the chronology confused. Coughlin was pro FDR and New Deal in 1933. The liberty league was likewise organized later and indeed big business did not move against FDR until the NRA began to fall apart and labor rise in 1934.

The author seems to underplay the ongoing role of metropolitan powers to influence developments in post-liberation countries. The brutal devastation of the continent’s most prosperous country, Libya, to preserve the economic control by French banks must be weighed in, as well as the neoliberal temptation offered by European financiers as peoples emerged into a world where the hope of socialism seemed diminished. Or maybe the skills needed to lead a revolution don’t correspond to those needed to govern.

And the role of imperialist boots on the ground via AFRICOM and other legions.

EXCERPT FROM CALCULATING CHANGE

DISCUSSANTS 

Fannie Rushing, Bill Ayers, Ash-Lee Henderson and Rev. Allyn Maxfield-Steele

Host Adam Bush 

Freedom Schools 6 min.  a work in progress by Catherine Murphy

An exploration of the SNCC and CORE movement schools that were part of the Freedom Movement of the 1960s in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi.

THEY SAY I’M YOUR TEACHER  9 minutes Directed by Lucy Massie Phenix and Catherine Murphy.

They Say I’m Your Teacher is a documentary short about the Citizen Education Schools, created from the 16mm archives of the groundbreaking 1985 film, You Got to Move

LET THE PEOPLE DECIDE Directed by Gavin Guerra 1 hr. 48 min. 2019

‘Let the People Decide’ traces the history of voting rights struggles in the United States from 1960 through the present day. The film draws parallels between the Mississippi voter registration drive of the early 1960’s and North Carolina’s ‘Moral Monday’ movement in the present day. A key goal of the film is connecting the dots between the generations to contextualize the current political environment surrounding race and voting. In 3 acts the film will travel across nearly 60 years to show how the current battles over voting are not a new front in the struggle over who gets to vote, but part of a continuing conflict that goes back many decades. Now as then, both sides claim the moral high ground. In the 1960’s, race was the clear driving force of the conflict, today the fight is couched in claims of fraud and suppression. Political parties have drawn lines in the sand and this project will present arguments from all sides in order that the film can live up to it’s name and ‘Let the People Decide’.

Celebrating 95 Years of Art and Activism - A Birthday Celebration Honoring the Life and Work of Harry Belafonte - March 1 (Sankofa.org)

John Legend, Lenny Kravitz & More to Take Part in Harry Belafonte's 95th Birthday Benefit at The Town Hall

The event will feature Aloe Blacc, The Belafonte Alumni Band, Laurence Fishburne, Doug E Fresh, Danny Glover, and more.

January 18, 2022
Broadway World

A star-studded line-up will celebrate the 95th birthday of legendary singer, songwriter, activist, and actor Harry Belafonte. The benefit evening (HB95) will also present the inaugural Harry Belafonte Social Justice Awards in honor of the 10th anniversary of Sankofa.org, the social justice organization Mr. Belafonte co-founded.

HB95 will be held on March 1, 2022 at The Town Hall (123 W. 43rd Street) at 7:00 PM ET.

The evening will include musical performances, video tributes, and testimonials by civil rights and racial justice leaders, elected officials, musicians, actors, and more. Aloe Blacc, John Legend, The Belafonte Alumni Band, Laurence Fishburne, Doug E Fresh, Danny Glover, Amy Goodman, Lenny Kravitz, Michael Moore, Q-Tip, Tim Robbins, Rev. Al Sharpton, Bryan Stevenson, Sweet Honey in the Rock, Jesse Williams, and Alfre Woodward, are among the confirmed participants.

This year's inaugural Harry Belafonte Social Justice Awards were created to acknowledge the vast reach of Mr. Belafonte's contribution to social justice and American history. For their unwavering commitment to justice, award recipients include Angela Davis, Rashad Robinson, Kimberlé Crenshaw, Dr. Cornel West, Darren Walker, Hank Willis Thomas, former Attorney General Eric Holder and Congresswoman Barbara Lee.

In addition to live performances, Mr. Belafonte's memorable film, television, and humanitarian career will be showcased through archive footage along with testimonials from some of today's most popular and celebrated artists, activists, and entertainers.

Proceeds from this evening will benefit Sankofa.org and several of its programs including an innovative virtual/alternative reality technology and arts reentry program created to impact the capacity of returning citizens to develop critical core skills for a sustainable successful transition back to the community. This scientifically validated art-based program with virtual reality has been used to create breakthrough treatments for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and is showing promise in the treatment of many other mental health conditions.

Harry Belafonte said, "I am honored that so many are coming together to celebrate my birthday, life, and legacy. I founded Sankofa.org alongside my daughter Gina and Raoul Roach to create additional space for artists and allies to collaborate to garner an artistic approach to the needs of our disenfranchised communities... to use art as a tool to educate messages of hope and to encourage and energize the public to become engaged. One heart, One mind, One soul."

"It is an honor for us to host Harry Belafonte's 95th birthday as part of our Centennial Season," said The Town Hall's Artistic Director Melay Araya. "Like his mentors Paul Robeson and Langston Hughes, and his contemporaries Coretta Scott King and Fannie Lou Hamer, Mr. Belafonte has taken to our stage several times over the last 70 years in support of the movements that he participated in and led. It is our hope that celebrating his life and work will inspire those in attendance to use their talents in service of others."

Gina Belafonte, Sankofa.org Executive Director stated, "Artists are the gatekeepers of truth, civilization's radical voice. Without art we have nothing. Sankofa.org uses the arts as a tool to engage people to action. We are so excited to honor my father on his 95th birthday and celebrate his legacy."

"We are happy to celebrate this milestone birthday of the iconic Harry Belafonte. As a legendary artist and activist, he is an inspiration to us all. It is also beautiful to see Gina carry on the important work of Sankofa.org to positively impact future generations," said Bridgid and Don Cheadle about the occasion.

Actress and activist Alfre Woodard said, "HB95 is the celebration of Harry Belafonte's bold, insistent, joyous stride towards Justice. Sankofa.org is the vehicle he's given the generations to continue that journey forward. There goes the roof!"

While this is its first public fundraising event, Sankofa.org has created and produced innovative and cutting-edge programs for the past decade. The organization is committed to rooting out systemic violence, work tirelessly for the adoption of restorative justice initiatives, and champion meaningful reforms for immigration and a livable minimum wage.

Conference on 21st Century Antifascism, Nov 2-3, 2022, Call for papers - Paper deadline April 15 (Hofstra Cultural Center)

Anti-Fascism in the 21St Century
Wednesday And Thursday  --  November 2 and 3, 2022
Hofstra University, Hempstead, New York

On October 28, 1922, armed fascists converged on Rome and paved the way for the establishment of a dictatorship led by Benito Mussolini, which would dominate Italy for the next 20 years. The March on Rome marked the birth of an Italian fascist regime and laid the foundation for the spread of fascist ideology around the world. From the beginning, Italian fascism generated resistance. As fascist ideology developed into a global phenomenon, so too did anti-fascism. The initial phase of the conflict between fascist and anti-fascist forces climaxed in World War II with the defeat of Italian fascism, German Nazism, and Japanese militarism. Although defeated militarily in 1945, global fascism continued to find expression during the decades that followed. 

As recent events have shown, fascist ideology and its attendant components — opposition to working-class movements, hyper-nationalism, anti-democracy, white supremacy, and xenophobia — remain a threat to democratic institutions and practices worldwide. As in the past, the rise of fascism has been met with anti-fascist opposition.

To coincide with the centennial of the March on Rome, we will hold a two-day interdisciplinary conference, Anti-fascism in the 21st Century. The purpose of this conference is not to retell stories of past anti-fascist movements, but to consider anti-fascism as a contemporary global movement with myriad forms and to explore the challenges of organizing against fascism for a new generation.

We encourage participation by activists, educators, and artists, as well as scholars. Nontraditional (i.e., nonacademic) panels and presentations in a variety of formats are welcome and encouraged.

We invite proposals on topics including but not limited to the following:

• Strategies and tactics for mobilizing and
 organizing against fascism
• Anti-fascism in the classroom
• Anti-fascist rhetoric
• Anti-fascist literature (books, graphic novels, etc.)
• The arts (music, dance, theater) and anti-fascism
• Global anti-fascist solidarity
• Social media and anti-fascist activism
• Anti-fascism and the question of violence
• Anti-fascism and the struggle against neoliberalism
• Working-class anti-fascism
• Historical memory and contemporary anti-fascism
• Struggles over fascist and anti-fascist monuments
 and memorials

The official language of the conference is English. All presentations should last no longer than 20 minutes, including audio and visual illustrations.

DEADLINE FOR SUBMISSIONS:
Please submit a summary of presentation (up to 500 words) along with a brief narrative biography to hofculctr@hofstra.edu by April 15, 2022
