[LAAMN] ACLU Panel Session: The Assault on Labor: Protecting Worker Rights

[Dick_Sharon P]

The 2010 federal elections dramatically altered the landscape for
working men and women across America, as the country's rightward
tilt fueled a full-throated assault on basic rights to bargain
collectively won over decades of organizing. Workers and voters
concerned with the increasing attacks on labor should participate in the
panel discussion "Assault on Labor" on Tuesday, July 12th, 7
p.m. at Neighborhood Church in Pasadena.

"Unions have contributed immensely to the well-being of working
people in the United States," says panelist Kent Wong, Director of
UCLA's Center for Labor Research and Education. "Unions give a
voice for workers on the job and provide respect and dignity for working
people."

Anti-union efforts led by Wisconsin's Republican Governor Scott
Walker to strip most public employees of their collective bargaining
rights—just upheld in a partisan vote by the Wisconsin Supreme
Court—quickly led to similar assaults in Michigan, Ohio, Indiana,
and elsewhere.

California has so far escaped the full brunt of these anti- labor
attacks—but for how long? The ACLU event will discuss our area's
labor situation and assess the effects these national trends may have on
Los Angeles and Pasadena working families. In particular, we will
discuss how the Chapter can best support the "Adopt a Grocery
Store" project as part of Southern California's possible grocery
workers strike.

The panel also includes Rachel Torres, a researcher for Unite Here Local
11, who worked to protect hotel workers rights in the efforts to
redevelop Pasadena Manor, a housing facility for low-income seniors and
the handicapped that been abruptly vacated to make way for the boutique
Hotel Constance.
Tuesday, July 12 · 7:00pm - 9:00pmNeighborhood Church301 N. Orange
Grove BoulevardPasadena, CAThe event is free and open to the public. For

[LAAMN] ACLU Pasadena-Foothills Looks at Political Hysteria

[Dick_Sharon P]

>From McCarthyism to the Patriot Act to Islamophobia
Pasadena, California; August 16, 2011—In observing  the 10th
anniversary of the 9-11 attacks, which quickly spawned the  repressive
Patriot Act and Homeland Security Department, we might recall  that
affronts to First Amendment rights to free speech in response to 
threats from enemies, real and imagined, have a long history in America.
If you're concerned about the growing governmental scrutiny of our 
private lives and communications in the name of the vaunted "War on 
Terror," please participate in the discussion "From McCarthyism
to the  Patriot Act to Islamophobia," on Tuesday, September 13, 7
p.m. at  Neighborhood Church in Pasadena.

Today's attempts to deny Muslim-Americans the right to live freely
in  America, to worship and speak as they choose, trace directly back to
the anti-communist hysteria that gripped in country 60 years ago.
"Back  then, to call someone a communist was to threaten that
person's  career, family, freedom, and, sometimes, life itself,"
says Scott  Martelle, author of "The Fear Within" and speaker at
our ACLU forum.  "Hysteria about the "red menace" mushroomed
as the Soviet Union  tightened its grip on Eastern Europe, Mao Zedong

​  rose to power in China, and the atomic arms race accelerated.
Spy  scandals fanned the flames, and headlines warned of sleeper cells
in the  nation's midst–just as it does today with the `War
on Terror.'"

Joining Martelle will be Adel Syed, Government Relations Coordinator 
for the Council on Islamic-American Relations, who will bring our 
examination full circle by reporting on anti-Muslim attacks generated 
far more for religious or political advantage than for any legitimate 
security fear. "John F. Kennedy once said, `Ultimately
America's answer to the  intolerant man is diversity, the very
diversity which our heritage of  religious freedom has inspired,"
Syed has written, in collaboration with  Lana Daoud. "Ensuring that
America continues to be a model of  inclusiveness can only occur when
Muslim Americans are seen as fellow  neighbors to engage with, not
outsiders to be shouted at, or altogether  avoided."

Founded in 1923, the American Civil Liberties Union-Southern  California
has been fighting to preserve and expand the rights  guaranteed by the
Bill of Rights. Its Pasadena/Foothills Chapter serves  the communities
of Altadena, Arcadia, Glendale, La Canada, La Crescenta,  LA (Glassell
Park, Mt. Washington, Highland Park, Eagle Rock),  Monrovia, Montrose,
Pasadena, South Pasadena, San Marino, and Sierra  Madre.

What: From McCarthyism to the Patriot Act to Islamophobia
When: Tuesday, September 13, 2011, 7 p.m. to 9 p.m.
Where: Neighborhood Church, 301 N. Orange Grove Blvd, Pasadena

The event is free and open to the public. For more info, see

Chair, ACLU-SC Pasadena/Foothills Chapter,aclupasadena@yahoo.

[LAAMN] UK Riots Show the Bankruptcy of Conservative Policies

[Dick_Sharon P]

LA Progressive 
Thursday, 25 August 2011

Subscribe to daily newsletter here: http://t.co/BIYuPFK


* UK Riots Show the Bankruptcy of Conservative Policies
 .  Deepak Tripathi: Western
societies have suffered a major socioeconomic  and moral collapse.  The
recent street violence in England's cities is  the latest, most
disturbing expression of individual selfishness and  anger causing the
rot.


* Panama's Response on Behalf of Vietnamese Agent Orange Victims
  . James Rhodes: Washington
continues to recruit young men and women under  the mantra "we
support our troops." That may be true, but America does  not support
its VETERANS!

* LAUSD and Green Dot Should Talk
  . Leonard Isenberg: If children
continue to suffer from poor nutrition, no  early exposure to rich
imagery, experience, and language, then they  arrive at kindergarten
already squarely behind the eight ball without  millions of words that
they have never heard.

*  Latino Leaders Defend DHS's Announcement to Focus on
High Priority Immigration Cases  
. Seth Hoy: Anti-immigrant restrictionists will continue to drive a
wedge  between Latino voters and the Republican party by hurling
racially  charged sentiments—like today's accusation that
President Obama is  waging a war on "white America"—in hopes of
stirring up their own base.

*  Payback Time   .
Rodolfo  F. Acuña: One of the first political lessons that I remember
was Benito  Juárez's famous saying, "entre los individuos,
como entre las naciones,  el respeto al derecho ajeno es la paz,"
"among individuals, as among  nations, respect for the rights of
others is peace."

* Philly's Mayor's Message to the Youth? Yeah, Right.
  .  Jasmyne A. Cannick: It was
another case of yet another Black leader  passionately voicing the
frustration of his generation with younger  generations of Blacks by
preaching to the choir.

* Ashford, Leiber: Soundtrack of Multiracial America.
Mark Naison: I think
it's important to understand that they were  figures who, in their
own way, helped redefine race in United States by  creating a sonic
universe in which people of diverse racial and cultural  backgrounds
could find joy and meaning.

[LAAMN] ACLU Forum: New Jim Crow: Next Steps, Tuesday, May 10 Pasadena

[Dick_Sharon P]

ACLU Public Forum

The New Jim Crow: Next Steps

How We Can Fight the Mass Incarceration of Black and Brown Men

Tuesday - May 10  - 7 p.m.

Neighborhood Church,

301 N. Orange Grove Blvd, Pasadena

Panel Discussion with Questions & Answers

* Pasadena Police Chief Phillip Sanchez
* ACLU-SC President and Public Defender Shelan Joseph, and
* Judge (Ret.) James P. Gray.

Following up on last month's standing-room-only presentation at the
Pasadena Main Library by author Michelle Alexander on the
disproportionate targeting of black and brown men for incarceration, the
ACLU of Southern California Pasadena/Foothills Chapter will present a
public forum to explore root causes for this long-term injustice,
investigate how these problems play out in our local communities,and
discuss ways we can fight for change.

(Alexander can be viewed online at :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IgM5NAq6cGI&feature=fvwrel
and
http://youtu.be/WX6G0ICwJ1Q    )

In her ground-breaking book, "The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in
the Age of  Colorblindness," law professor Alexander observed that "more
African American men are in prison or jail, on probation or parole than
were enslaved in 1850, before the Civil War began," and laid much of the
blame on the failed War on Drugs waged principally in communities of
color over the past four decades.

Judge Gray has urged an end to the war on drugs as unwinnable and
corrupting, arguing that the risks to an individual drug user are
dwarfed by the harm caused to the community by overaggressive policing
and the criminal economy. He will speak about the need to end the war on
drugs. Panelist Shelan Joseph will discuss how the New Jim Crow plays
out with juveniles in our area and new Pasadena Police Chief Phillip
Sanchez will provide a law enforcement perspective.

We anticipate a lively discussion. The event is free and open to the
public.

[LAAMN] ACLU Forum in Pasadena: Ending California’s Death Penalty in 2012

[Dick_Sharon P]

Momentum is gathering to place an initiative on the November 2012 ballot
to end capital punishment in California. The SAFE California Act would
replace California's death penalty with life imprisonment with no chance
of parole as the maximum sentence for murder. Proponents claim the
initiative's passage would save California $1 billion over five years
without releasing prisoners and provide $100 million for increased
investigation of unsolved rape and murder cases.

At the ACLU Public Forum in Pasadena, James Clark of the SAFE California
Campaign and Brent Tonik, stepbrother of a murder victim who has become
a death penalty activist, will discuss the history of California's death
penalty and lay out the case for its abolition.

"The dominoes are falling fast as more and more people in California are
learning what a waste the death penalty has become," Clark has written.
"They know people have spent 30 years trying to make it work quickly,
efficiently, cheaply, and fairly, and they have failed. Even major news
sources like the LA Times and Silicon Valley Mercury News have seen the
obvious, with the LA Times writing an exasperated call to `Just abolish
it.'"

Abolition advocates indicate that while gang violence prevention efforts
have reduced gang violence and homicide rates in recent decades, social
services like those are usually among the first to chopped during a
budget crisis like the one California currently faces. The savings from
abolishing the death penalty could help restore those much-needed
programs.


WHAT: ACLU Pasadena-Foothills Chapter Public Forum
WHEN: Tuesday, January 10th, 7 p.m.
WHERE: Neighborhood Church, 301 No. Orange Grove Blvd., Pasadena.

[LAAMN] Making Your Own Media: Media for the 99 Percent Summit This Saturday

[Dick_Sharon P]

Making Your Own Media: "Media for the 99%" Summit
The media is no longer that "black and white and read all over"
object the neighbor kid threw on your parents' lawn every morning,
right?
No, now it's something people all around you are creating for
themselves — on computer networks, with flipcams and smart phones,
on the radio — to advance their causes, to help guide their
communities to a brighter tomorrow, to better our world.

You're already doing some of that yourself, too, right?

So join us this Saturday at the "4th Annual Media Reform Summit:
Media for the 99%" to learn how to do even more.

We'll have headliners Robert Scheer, the renowned LA Timesman and
Truthdig editor, and Craig Aaron, Free Press CEO and President.

We've got a dynamite "The Future of News Is Now
 " media panel with
KCET'sVal Zavala, KPCC's Sharon McNary, KPFK's Maria
Armoudian, and XM Public Radio's Jesse Thorn.

And then, to get you waist deep in the big media yourself, we're
presenting ten workshops that will give you hands-on tutoring on how to
effect change in your community by creating your own media.

* Want to know how to create your own online magazine, or become a
progressive culture critic, or livestream events as they happen? We can
help.

* Want to know how to post multimedia stories onto the Web with your
mobile phone, or how to make a powerful video, or how to represent your
cause effectively with the mainstream media? We've got you covered.

Check out the list of 10 workshops below, organized in two sets of five,
and sign up for the event.

WHEN: Saturday, March 3 from 9:30 a.m. – 4 p.m.

the web. With Tracy Rosenberg and Inez González

* Creative Commons and Other Ways Internet Law Empowers Media

Mendez, Marcos Rodriguez, Crispin Jimenez, Ranferi Ahiezer Velazquez,
and Pedro Joel

[LAAMN] ACLU Forum: Community Planning For Released Prison Inmates -- March 13, Pasadena

[Dick_Sharon P]

How Will Local Communities Cope with the Sudden Influx of Newly Released
Prisoners?Last May, the U.S. Supreme Court ordered the State of
California to release 46,000 inmates — more than one-fourth of the
state's prison population — over the next two years to relieve
overcrowding. As many as 156,000 prisoners have been crowded into
prisons built to hold 80,000 inmates, leading to the court order.
In presenting the narrow 5-4 decision, Justice Anthony M. Kennedy, a
Sacramento native, spoke from the bench about suicidal prisoners being
held in "telephone booth-sized cages without toilets" and
others, sick with cancer or in severe pain, who died before being seen
by a doctor.
Initially, state officials at various levels drew up plans designed to
shift inmates to out-of-state prisons or move into county jails across
the state without actually releasing any prisoners, plans that
ultimately ran afoul of budget realities, if not good sense and the law.
Consequently, many thousands of supposedly low-risk offenders are indeed
being released onto California streets.
The number of nonviolent, non-serious, non-sexual prisoners the San
Gabriel Valley alone will receive through 2012 is between 1,000 and
1,500. What will be the impact on local communities and families of
these (primarily) men?
Local community leaders were not caught flat-footed. Two years ago, the
Pasadena Police Department, working with the Flintridge Center and other
community groups, set up an innovative program called PACT –
Pasadena Altadena Community Team.
Modeled on what reformers hope to achieve, PACT brings police and
sheriff's deputies together with caregivers and support
organizations and uses an outreach program to identify the needs of
paroles and get them help – if they are ready.
Hear from key leaders in this effort to successfully reintegrate
returning prisoners into this community at the ACLU Pasadena/Foothills
Chapter's March Forum: Brian Biery from the Flintridge Foundation,
Commander Darryl Qualls from the Pasadena Police Department, and Mary
Weaver from Friends Outside, a support organization of inmate families
and friends.
* What: ACLU Pasadena/Foothills Chapter Forum:
* When: Tuesday, March 13, 7 p.m.
* Where: Neighborhood Church, 301 North Orange Grove Blvd., Pasadena

[LAAMN] ACLU Forum: California’s LGBTQ Community Post Prop Hate

[Dick_Sharon P]

Battles Ahead in the Courts, Community, and Classroom




With public support for legalizing marriage between gay and lesbian
couples soaring to 58 percent in recent polls, up from less than 40
percent eight years ago,
  and the U.S. Supreme Court
mulling whether to strike down California's Prop 8 and Defense of
Marriage Act restrictions, America has clearly reached a watershed
moment on LGBTQ rights.




Still, marriage is defined as the union of one man and one woman in at
least 38 states, and 32 states have added amendments to their
constitutions banning same-sex unions, while bullying of LGBTQ students
is reportedly on the rise
  in
the nation's schools. Much work remains to be done.




Panelists at the upcoming ACLU-SC Pasadena/Foothills Chapter bimonthly
public forum on Tuesday, May 14, will recount the battle for LGBTQ
rights in our community, discuss the impact discrimination and abuse has
on students in local schools -- especially for youth of color, and
outline legal challenges ahead.




Panelists will include long-time activist Carl Matthes, President of the
30-year-old Uptown Gay and Lesbian Alliance (UGLA); author and professor
Sikivu Hutchinson; and ACLU-Southern California Deputy Executive
Director James Gilliam.




"Queer youth of color are especially vulnerable to becoming homeless,"
observes Sikivu Huchinson. "Family economic instability, sexual abuse,
religious dogma, discrimination at school and in local neighborhoods
often precipitate homelessness amongst African American queer youth."




What: ACLU-SC Pasadena/Foothills Chapter Public Forum

When: Tuesday, May 14, 7 p.m.

Where: Neighborhood Church, 301 N. Orange Grove Boulevard, Pasadena




The event is free and open to the public. For more info, contact Sharon
Kyle, Communications Chair, ACLU-SC Pasadena/Foothills Chapter,

[LAAMN] ACLU-SC P/F Chapter Looks at Three Initiatives -- September 11

[Dick_Sharon P]

ACLU-SC Pasadena/Foothills Chapter Looks at Three Critical Measures on
California's November Ballot

Los Angeles: Friday, 24 August 2012 -- With Election Day fast
approaching, the ACLU-SC Pasadena/Foothill Chapter will present a
discussion of three initiatives on the November ballot, dealing with
California's Death Penalty (Prop 34), its Three Strikes Law (Prop
36), and the Labeling of Genetically Engineered Foods (Prop 37).

Tommy Watts, Southern California Field Organizer, Yes on 34 Campaign,
will speak on Prop 34, which seeks to replace California's death
penalty with life in prison without possibility of parole. The
Legislative Analyst says that this initiative would save taxpayers $130
million each year, with some of these savings used to improve local law
enforcement efforts.

Dorothy Erskine,  retired teacher and long-time member of Families to
Amend California's Three Strikes (FACTS), will speak on Prop 36,
which would limit the state's current three strikes law to apply
only when a new felony conviction is for a serious or violent crime,
while also maintaining the provision for certain convictions involving
nonviolent sex, drug, or firearms crimes.

Carole Bartolotto, Regional Health Educator with Kaiser Permanente, will
address Prop 37, which aims to require labeling of genetically modified
organisms (GMOs) and prevent such foods being labelled as
"natural." Exceptions would be made for inclusion of small
amounts of GMOs or if sold for immediate consumption as in a restaurant.
(Note: The ACLU-SC has not taken a position on Prop 37)

What: ACLU-SC Pasadena/Foothills Chapter Forum:
When: Tuesday, September 11, 7 p.m.
Where: Neighborhood Church, 301 North Orange Grove Blvd., Pasadena

The event is free and open to the public.

[LAAMN] Sister Giant: Women, Non-Violence & Brithing a New American Politics

[Dick_Sharon P]

SISTER GIANT

WOMEN, NON-VIOLENCE and BIRTHING A NEW AMERICAN POLITICS



On November 10-11, 2012, there will be a special event in Los Angeles,
calling all Americans who are interested in starting a new, non-violent
political conversation. If you're concerned about the over-influence of
moneyed interests on American democracy as well as the
underrepresentation of women in our political leadership; if you have a
transformational view of the world; if you are a woman who would
consider running for office yourself, or a man or woman who could see
yourself involved in a woman's campaign -- please join Marianne
Williamson and others for a revolutionary weekend. We will create the
blueprint for a new Movement in American politics, unabashedly spiritual
and unapologetically progressive, by which we help right the teetering
ship of American democracy.



November 10 -- 11, 2012

[LAAMN] ACLU-SC Pasadena/Foothills Honors "Nuns on the Bus" -- Sept. 30th

[Dick_Sharon P]

The ACLU/SC Pasadena/Foothills Chapter will honor the NETWORK, a
national social justice lobby of activist Catholic nuns, for their
outstanding service to low income households – including their tour
of Midwestern "swing" states this summer to advocate against the
adoption of Republican Vice President nominee and fellow Catholic Paul
Ryan's budget proposal to eliminate $36 Billion in food assistance
and other essential programs to poor and marginal families.
Nuns on the BusHonored by the ACLU Pasadena/Foothills Chapter13th Annual
Garden PartySunday, September 30, 2012Neighborhood Church301 N. Orange
Grove Blvd, Pasadena, CA3 to 5 pm <<<—Note corected start
Sister Diane Donoghue, a member of the "Nuns on the Bus" tour,
will accept the award for the Network's efforts in opposition to
what she calls the "immoral Ryan budget." Vice President Biden
reported to the nuns during the Washington DC component of their bus
tour that their lobbying of all the Catholic members of Congress in
support of the Affordable Health Care Act was key in its passage.
ACLU will also honor Pasadena's Flintridge Center for its economic
justice and other work to improve the quality of life for Northwest
Pasadena and Altadena area households. Flintridge partners with ACLU in
conducting "Know Your Rights During Police Encounters" workshops
to North est Pasadena youth, conducts monthly resource fairs designed to
assist newly released prison inmates to reintegrate into their home
communities, sponsors mentoring programs for Northwest Pasadena youth
and a job apprenticeship program for former gang members, among other
programs.
Also being honored will be the Pasadena City Library; City Librarian,
Jan Sanders, will accept the award for the Library staff's stalwart
defense of First Amendment rights during the early years of The Patriot
Act, its support of Michelle Alexander's book tour of "The New
Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Color Blindness" and for
its continuing education concerning First Amendment rights through
sponsoring Banned Books Month and Constitution Month.

NEIGHBORHOOD DRONE  SURVEILLANCE COMING: WILL AMERICANS' RIGHT TO 
PRIVACY BE PRESERVED ?

Pasadena Star News Public Editor, Larry Wilson, recently alerted readers
to KNX Investigative Reporter Charles Feldman's report on the coming use
of military surveillance drones, used in the War on Terror, for domestic
surveillance and intelligence gathering. L.A. Sheriff's office has
inquired re drones availability. Citizen concern is rising about
intrusive policing in Americans' private lives. ACLU attorney Peter
Bibring will report on the need for rigid safeguards and accountability
mechanisms to prevent law enforcement using drones for warrantless, mass
surveillance of citizens. Hear Wilson, Feldman and Bibring discuss law
enforcement's acquisition of drones and their threat to the civil
liberties of ordinary Americans.

What are plans for drones in the San Gabriel Valley?

Meeting Location:

[LAAMN] Gun Violence in Our Communities -- ACLU Panel Session March 12th/Pasadena

[Dick_Sharon P]

Gun Violence in Our Communities

Activists and Organizers Will Discuss the Effects Rampant Gun Violence
Has Had in Our Neighborhoods

Los Angeles -- 5 March 2013: As the nation grapples with the issue of
gun violence and making the nation a safer place, an upcoming ACLU-SC
Pasadena/Foothills Chapter bimonthly public forum on March 12th will
discuss the effects rampant gun violence has had in our communities.

Consider these grim statistics from recent years gathered by Women
Against Gun Violence:



* In 2007, a total of 989 residents of Los Angeles County lost their
lives to guns.
* 79.3% of homicides in LA County were committed with a firearm (677
out of 854).
* 74% of homicides (1,807 out of 2,444) and 41% of suicides (1,363
out of 3,343) were committed with a firearm in California.
* LA County trauma centers treated 2,504 victims of firearm injuries
for a total treatment cost of more than $149 million and an average
charge of $59,712 per visit.



Panelists will include author, columnist, and scholar Anthony Asadullah
Samad and ACLU-Southern California staff attorney David Sapp, whose work
focuses on education and juvenile justice issues.

"The ACLU encourages decision makers to carefully examine any
proposed legislative solutions to ensure that they will not lead to
unintended consequences that improperly restrict civil rights and
liberties," says David Sapp. "The ACLU is concerned about the
increased policing and over-criminalization of young people, the
presence of police officers in schools does not improve school safety
and undermines the school's climate."



"The gun control discussion is more than a safety conversation, or an
infringement of rights discussion," says Dr. Samad. "Xenophobia and
social instability contribute to the resistance to ban military
weaponry. We are so focused on militarism internationally that we don't
realize that there is a subtle militarism occurring domestically,
driving our hysteria around guns and weapons we must begin to discuss
outwardly."



What: ACLU-SC Pasadena-Foothills Chapter Public Forum

When: Tuesday, March 12, 7 p.m.

Where: Neighborhood Church. 301 N. Orange Grove Blvd, Pasadena

The event is free and open to the public. For more info, see contact
Sharon Kyle, Communications Chair, ACLU-SC Pasadena/Foothills Chapter,
aclupasadena@yahoo or 213.434.4643.

campaigns.

3. How else are we going to know the way to San Jose?

4. Staffing a booth will keep us on our feet meeting our daily exercise
goals.

5. Seriously, because we'll connect with more really great progressive
activists and writers to bring to you on a daily basis.

[LAAMN] ACLU Forum: California’s LGBTQ Community Post Prop Hate

[Dick_Sharon P]

Battles Ahead in the Courts, Community, and Classroom

With public support for legalizing marriage between gay and lesbian
couples soaring to 58 percent in recent polls, up from less than 40
percent eight years ago,
  and the U.S. Supreme Court
mulling whether to strike down California's Prop 8 and Defense of
Marriage Act restrictions, America has clearly reached a watershed
moment on LGBTQ rights.

Still, marriage is defined as the union of one man and one woman in at
least 38 states, and 32 states have added amendments to their
constitutions banning same-sex unions, while bullying of LGBTQ students
is reportedly on the rise
  in
the nation's schools. Much work remains to be done.

Panelists at the upcoming ACLU-SC Pasadena/Foothills Chapter bimonthly
public forum on Tuesday, May 14, will recount the battle for LGBTQ
rights in our community, discuss the impact discrimination and abuse has
on students in local schools -- especially for youth of color, and
outline legal challenges ahead.

Panelists will include long-time activist Carl Matthes, President of the
30-year-old Uptown Gay and Lesbian Alliance (UGLA); author and professor
Sikivu Hutchinson; and ACLU-Southern California Deputy Executive
Director James Gilliam.

"Queer youth of color are especially vulnerable to becoming homeless,"
observes Sikivu Huchinson. "Family economic instability, sexual abuse,
religious dogma, discrimination at school and in local neighborhoods
often precipitate homelessness amongst African American queer youth."

What: ACLU-SC Pasadena/Foothills Chapter Public Forum

When: Tuesday, May 14, 7 p.m.

Where: Neighborhood Church, 301 N. Orange Grove Boulevard, Pasadena

The event is free and open to the public. For more info, contact Sharon
Kyle, Communications Chair, ACLU-SC Pasadena/Foothills Chapter,

[LAAMN] Pasadena Panel on Defending Civil Liberties Panel -- April 29

[Dick_Sharon P]

Defending Civil Liberties: If They Take You In The Morning
Pasadena Staged Reading and Panel Discussion Examine Ways to Combat
Current Civil Rights Incursions

America's long-held freedoms, admired throughout the world, are
under attack in every quarter. Witness the Justice Department deporting
undocumented workers at an ever-accelerated rate, while the opposition
party advocates making their lives so miserable they flee in terror. See
our misbegotten "war on terror" in the Middle East grinding on
and on and on, coming home now with broken soldiers and Muslim-Americans
who are denigrated, beaten, and even killed for the way they look. Look
at our prisons overflowing with the battalions of low-level drug users
and peddlers — mostly black or brown men — we've chosen to
incarcerate rather than rehabilitate.

Right, you're not a Muslim, your citizenship papers are in order,
and you haven't smoked pot since you were a kid. Think this racial
profiling won't hit you?

As the novelist James Baldwin wrote: "If we know, then we must fight
for your life as though it were our own. For if they take you in the
morning, they will be coming for us that night."

"And they're coming, aren't they?" says Sharon Kyle,
panel session moderator. "If you're a woman — or love a
woman — your reproductive freedom is under siege. If you're a
student protesting penny-wise tuition hikes, watch out for that
pepper-spray. If you're an activist demonstrating against the
country's quick march back to the Gilded Age, duck that rubber
bullet. If you're a homeowner crushed by the Great Recession and
faced with an unjust foreclosure, get ready to live on the streets. And
if the cops stop you for a broken headlamp, no joke, get ready for a
strip search."

Where's it going to stop? No place unless we start to fight in
earnest.

rights, Dramastage Qumran and Interfaith Communities United for Justice

Wound"

[LAAMN] ACLU Forum: Coping with the Housing Crisis -- May 8

[Dick_Sharon P]

How Homeowners and Renters Cope with Housing CrisisACLU
Pasadena-Foothills Panel Looks at Causes, Solutions
Pasadena, California, 23 April 2012—Nearly 12 millions homeowners
have been foreclosed on since mid-2006 when the housing bubble burst,
helping to eliminate 10 million jobs in a ripple effect as consumer
spending dropped, while also putting enormous pressure on the rental
market, especially for low-income and disabled renters. Californians
have been especially hard hit, suffering over 100,000 mortgage
foreclosures since the market collapse, 60,000 of them here in Los
Angeles County.
"Total losses are estimated in the tens of trillions of dollars
worldwide," says Kwazi Nkrumah, Occupy Fights Foreclosures activist.
"And the metro LA area currently has a foreclosure rate of one
household for every 46 residential units."
While some banks who bet heavily on the subprime market have folded,
Wall Street apparently has rebounded quite nicely. But your neighbors
down the street fighting foreclosure? Your brother-in-law whose house is
a mile underwater? Maybe you? Not so much. Not nearly so much.
Hear how activist groups in the San Gabriel Valley and across Los
Angeles are fighting back, battling attempts to throw people out of
their homes and collaborating to find housing for former homeowners and
others who can no longer find a decent—and affordable—place to
rent.
Carlos Marroquin and Cheryl Aichele from Occupy Fights Foreclosure will
discuss Occupy Movement efforts to protect homeowners from fraudulent
foreclosures.
ACLU Chapter President and affordable housing advocate Michelle White
will discuss how renters have been impacted by federal cutbacks,
California's confiscation of redevelopment funds, and proposed
solutions.
What: ACLU Pasadena/Foothills Chapter ForumWhen: Tuesday, May 8th, 7
p.m.Where: Neighborhood Church, 301 North Orange Grove Blvd., Pasadena
The event is free and open to the public.

[LAAMN] Defending Civil Liberties: If They Take You In The Morning

Page   America's
long-held freedoms, admired throughout the world, are under attack in
every quarter. Witness the Justice Department deporting undocumented
workers at an ever-accelerated rate, while the opposition party
advocates making their lives so miserable they flee in terror. See our
misbegotten "war on terror" in the Middle East grinding on and on and
on, coming home now with broken soldiers and Muslim-Americans who are
denigrated, beaten, and even killed for the way they look. Look at our
prisons overflowing with the battalions of low-level drug users and
peddlers — mostly black or brown men — we've chosen to
incarcerate rather than rehabilitate.Right, you're not a Muslim, your
citizenship papers are in order, and you haven't smoked pot since you
were a kid. Think this racial profiling won't hit you?As the novelist
James Baldwin wrote: "If we know, then we must fight for your life as
though it were our own. For if they take you in the morning, they will
be coming for us that night.""And they're coming, aren't they?" says
Sharon Kyle, panel session moderator. "If you're a woman — or love a
woman — your reproductive freedom is under siege. If you're a
student protesting penny-wise tuition hikes, watch out for that
pepper-spray. If you're an activist demonstrating against the country's
quick march back to the Gilded Age, duck that rubber bullet. If you're a
homeowner crushed by the Great Recession and faced with an unjust
foreclosure, get ready to live on the streets. And if the cops stop you
for a broken headlamp, no joke, get ready for a strip search."Where's it

[LAAMN] ACLU Pasadena/Foothills Social -- Thursday Evening in Mt. Washington

[Dick_Sharon P]

Getting Money Out of PoliticsThe Civil Liberties and Economic Justice
Concerns
[dc]I[/dc]n the wake of the recent Citizens United v. FEC Supreme Court
decision, corporate money is flooding into elections in unprecedented
amounts, giving a few wealthy individuals inordinate influence over
political processes at all levels.

Legal scholars argue that this creation of absolute corporate
"speech" rights to spend money on elections is contrary to
Constitutional principles and to the American vision of self-government
by free people.

"That vision cannot coexist with elections dominated by hundreds of
millions of dollars of corporate electioneering money," says Harvard
law professor Jeffrey D. Clements.

Other scholars -- supported by a narrow Supreme Court majority --
contend that attempts to limit corporate campaign donations violate
First Amendment free speech rights.

Locally, activists organized a successful effort to have the Los Angeles
City Council approve a resolution calling for a constitutional amendment
to abolish "corporate personhood," the legal footing for this
flood of corporate campaign cash.

Hear how this debate will play out in this critical election year:

* Mary Beth Fiedler, founder of Move to Amend LA, will discuss how
citizens groups are organizing to fight corporate influence on our
political process at local, state, and national levels.

* Stephen Rohde, ACLU Southern California board member, will address
issues around the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision from a
legal perspective..

What: ACLU-SC Pasadena/Foothills Chapter Forum:
When: Tuesday, July 10th, 7 p.m.
Where: Neighborhood Church, 301 North Orange Grove Blvd., Pasadena

The event is free and open to the public.
