Black
Movement-Law Project: DMV Legal Observation Training is happening at The
Catholic University of America, Columbus School of Law, 3600 John McCormack
Rd., WDC, on Thurs., Aug. 4 from 6:30 to 8:30 PM. Observing
is an important way that anyone can join in the struggle, and support in taking
a stand to ensure that the tragedies we face today do not go unanswered. Legal
observers are trained community members, legal workers, and often lawyers, who
act as frontline witnesses during demonstrations and mass arrests. Legal
observing is a function that lawyers and legal workers serve in democracies
globally and often observers/accompaniers serve this function in countries
where democratic movements are taking hold. The National Lawyers Guild
maintains an active legal observing arm for demonstrations. Due to the
nature of these uprisings, BMLP has built upon the legal observer model of the
NLG and added specific components to adapt the model to the context of a Black
uprising. Visit https://www.facebook.com/events/235853210141712/.
25] – On
Thur., Aug. 4 at 7:30 PM at Red Emma's
Bookstore Coffeehouse, 30 W. North Ave., Baltimore 21201, catch the book talk WHY THE SUN
RISES: THE FACES AND STORIES OF WOMEN IN EDUCATION. Educators
share an affinity with the sun, mirroring its ability and power to warm,
nurture, and guide the masses. The book “Why The SUN
Rises” shares the inspiration, sweat, and tears of professionals in
education. This collection of essays tells 29 unique stories about a profession
that is regarded as the hardest in the world. This is a community
passionate about teaching and learning, in all of its unique forms. This event
will showcase the diverse voices from the book, followed by a panel and
audience discussion to unfold some of the topics found in our author’s stories.
Amongst those topics you will hear, and be invited to participate in,
discussions around how we can be part of changing an educational landscape that
is more restrictive than it is freeing, navigating school as women of color,
and how our own personal narratives can both free and heal us and our students.
