SUMMARY:Creative Resistance Skillshare and CODEPINK and more!
DESCRIPTION:Join us for an afternoon of “skill sharing” on creative resistance\, including a Code Pink workshop led by Medea Benjamin. More tba. \n\n\n\nWhat is CODEPINK?\n\n\n\nCODEPINK is a women-led grassroots organization working to end U.S. wars and militarism\, support peace and human rights initiatives\, and redirect our tax dollars into healthcare\, education\, green jobs and other life-affirming programs. \n\n\n\nWhat we do \n\n\n\nFounded in fall 2002 as a grassroots effort to prevent the US war on Iraq\, we continue to organize for justice for Iraqis and to hold war criminals accountable. We actively oppose the continuing U.S. war in Afghanistan\, torture\, the detention center at Guantanamo\, weaponized and spy drones\, the prosecution of whistleblowers\, U.S. support for the Israeli occupation of Palestine and repressive regimes. \n\n\n\nHow we do it \n\n\n\nRooted in a network of local organizers\, online supporters and generous donors\, with an emphasis on joy and humor\, our tactics include satire\, street theatre\, creative visuals\, civil resistance\, and directly challenging powerful decision-makers in government and corporations. And of course\, wearing pink! \n\n\n\nWhy women? \n\n\n\nCODEPINK is not exclusively women — we invite men to join us — but we are particularly eager to see mothers\, grandmothers\, sisters\, and daughters\, female workers\, students\, teachers\, healers\, artists\, writers\, singers\, poets and all outraged woman rise up and oppose the global militarism. \n\n\n\nCODEPINK thus emerged out of a deep desire by a group of American women to stop the United States from invading Iraq. The name CODEPINK plays on the former Bush Administration’s color-coded homeland security alerts — yellow\, orange\, red — that signaled terrorist threats. While Bush’s color-coded alerts were based on fear and were used to justify violence\, the CODEPINK alert is a feisty call for people to “wage peace.” \n\n\n\nSince then CODEPINK has become a worldwide network of women and men committed to working for peace and social justice. We have become famous for confronting the warmongers\, whether in the halls and hearing rooms of Congress\, the national conventions of both the Republicans and Democrats\, George Bush’s fundraisers\, the publicity tours of Karl Rove\, Condi Rice\, Donald Rumsfeld and others\, and Nancy Pelosi’s house. \n\n\n\nPink action principles• Nonviolence: We are committed to peaceful means of protest and resolving conflict when executing our actions\, in coalition work\, and within our internal process and relationships.• Clear Goals: We will define CODEPINK’s unique niche in our community (creative protest\, cultivating women’s voices\, etc.) and set attainable goals for local projects that will further CODEPINK’s peace mission.• Communication Guidelines: We write\, speak and listen with respect to all. Disagreements or disappointments are opportunities to practice peaceful and productive communication with each other. We keep our criticisms concise\, specific\, constructive\, and focused on future improvement. We affirm a culture of appreciation\, thanking and valuing all our activists and acknowledging donations\, co-sponsorships\, and other support.• Responsibility and Teamwork: We work in teams\, sharing tasks and responsibilities\, and building skills\, together. We agree to be responsible for something only when we’re 100% sure we are going to do it.• Diversity and Tolerance: We embrace feminist principals of cooperation\, problem-solving\, critical thinking\, compassion\, analysis and processing. We will speak up against racism\, sexism\, homophobia\, transphobia\, classism\, ageism\, and other forms of oppression and prejudice. We will work towards a deeper understanding of our own power and privileges\, and seek to cultivate a diverse local group with connections to the array of social justice groups in our cities. We highly recommend that every activist read this piece about recognizing privilege\, entitled “Unpacking the Invisible Backpack.”• Resource Sharing: Our logos\, photos\, and the downloadable resources on our website are free for local groups to use. Central staff can help send email alerts for local organizers. Local groups can endorse or cosponsor local events without seeking permission from the central staff. Local groups are autonomous and are encouraged to take on national campaigns.• Messaging: We will work to make the messages on our banners\, flyers\, and public/ social media statements clear and potent. We aim to amplify our work through positive media coverage — for example\, sending press releases\, conducting press calls and liaising at events\, providing talking points for participants\, media training for local groups\, etc.• Global Community: CODEPINK’s work to end the war in Iraq was shared by 250 local groups in the US and a dozen international groups. The solidarity between CODEPINK-ers in the US and overseas strengthens our work to end US wars and drone strikes\, curtail government surveillance\, bring justice to war victims\, and reduce militarism worldwide. CODEPINK has taken delegations to Cuba\, Iran\, Israel-Palestine and other conflict zones to promote global and cultural engagement and awareness. We also participate in the Global Day of Action on Military Spending\, international forums on war and peace\, and other peace and diplomacy-building events.• Long Term Vision: We commit to working for a better world\, for the long haul. We want to build what is called a “peace economy”: global community that cultivates a sense of respect for all people\, and takes responsibility for the suffering we see in the world. We can begin by strengthening our relationships at home through our interactions and activism. In the words of CODEPINK Cofounder Medea Benjamin\, “Activism is good for our health and spirits—it keeps us engaged\, active\, upbeat\, and passionate. Ending war may take a long time\, and we can use that time to inspire ourselves and each other with positive\, creative actions that embody the world we want to see!”

SUMMARY:Be The Media! Workshop with WOOC 105.3FM: Program and Audience Development
DESCRIPTION:Slowly but surely we’re getting underway with local programming at WOOC 105.3 FM now that our technical issues have more or less stabilized. (At the moment we’re running syndicated news & public affairs shows from Pacifica Radio during drive time\, and a reggae/world music mix otherwise.) We’re hoping to start local programming Monday-Friday afternoons SOON with a block of regional news and public affairs daily for an hour (or two\, depending how our capacity develops) across the week during drive time.  \n\n\n\nAs a final workshop for this season\, the focus will be on Program and Audience Development. For now\, we’ll be focusing all of our radio resources on developing these collectively-produced drive time programs. The content will be local and regional with a global perspective\, taking on the kinds of issues we’ve been highlighting over the past decade with our Sanctuary programming.

Smart and worldly melodic with lots of ear candy in the form of percolating rhythms and textures.” –Mike Stratton\, WLNZ East Lansing\, MI \n\n\n\n“Heard approaches the same world/jazz/classical turf as Paul Winter but comes at it from a different angle imbuing it with a jazz edge that gives it more of an across the board upscale feel. Leader Woodbury Kasius might have paid a different set of dues but her passion for the form will bring a lot of new listeners into the tent on the whole. A groovy\, easy going set that works wonders for tired ears.”–Chris Spector\, Midwest Record Recap \n\n\n\nMore about Elizabeth Woodbury Kasius & HEARD\n\n\n\nThe original repertoire of HEARD is the work of composer-arranger-pianist ELIZABETH WOODBURY KASIUS\, who brings a wide array of styles – jazz\, world and classical music – into her captivating soundscape. Her inspirations come from her diverse experiences and interests; often drawing from her travels\, and the raw and powerful sources that nature provides. Heard’s dynamic and eclectic lineup of musicians gives Elizabeth a multitude of talents and textures to compose for as they develop their many-colored musical tapestry. \n\n\n\nElizabeth received her formal musical training at the University of Washington and Cornish College of the Arts in Seattle\, where she studied ethnomusicology\, piano performance and composition with Brazilian pianist Jovino Santos Neto\, trombonist Julian Priester and Big Band leader/trumpet player Jim Knapp\, as well as with Nigerian Juju musician IK Dairo. She received her BA in African Studies from Brown University. Elizabeth has also been a member of the Brazilian drumming group\, The Berkshire Bateria for 10 years\, where she has studied with Sambista\, Jim Weber. \n\n\n\nIn addition to teaching composition and piano privately\, she has been an adjunct professor for 11 years in the Dance Department at Russell Sage College in Troy\, NY\, where she works as a dance musician and composer-in-residence. Her collaborations with dancers have also led her to work with the NYC-based Mark Morris\, José Limon\, and Doug Varone Companies\, and the NYC Ballet\, and with Saratoga Springs’ TangoFusion. Her work with the Capital-District based Ellen Sinopoli Modern Dance Company has led to numerous Arts-in-Education Residencies in regional elementary school.
