- Fallon: Update on talk with Jenny and Diana about Women of color media alert, AMC, Incite
Backstory: COnversation around Be Bold Be Red family court case, shows
complexity of advocating in multiple ways. Limits of being able to
help. Thinking more about the Media Alert System to respond to
violence against Women Color. An online media alert system that really
is accountable to the intersectional nature of gendered violence
against people of color. Frustration and anxiety. Email (sent from
the ancestors) from Jenny...let's connect, following up in a convo from
back in August. How do you move people? What moves them? A truly
synchronistic moment. Met last Friday for 2 1/2 hour about how an
alert system would look.
Fallon will send sketch, that talks about different audiences with
different levels of fluency around an intersectional context.
1. Propose a panel with Andy Smith, Dani from Color of Change, and
people using chatrooms to talk about violence. Panel discussion about
what moves people and actually developing an alert system at the Allied
Media Conference.
2. important for INCITE folks to be plugged into the workshop to talk about possible collaborations on the website etc.
Comments:
Deepali: call from someone at the Baltimore NAACP, concerned because
the NAACP is trying to have a conversation about violence in Black
communities, he is concerned because it is being discussed from a
policing and prison standpoint instead of a social justice standpoint.
Suggested Andrea Ritchie. They are interested having either a panel
conversation or a speaking engagement at one of their larger meetings.
Other suggestions:
Kai Barrow (critical resistance)
Deborah Small (break the chains)
Nia Wilson (SpiritHouse)
Andrea Ritchie (INCITE)
Fallon: Talking about a specific example about framing that happens for
women of color that you don't have to do for men. Reading this as a
request for concrete steps towards the alert.
- Regroup Talk about April Workshop: Capacity, Two months left, solidify location (please add additional suggestions)
- Fallon's Suggestion: Perhaps host the cyberquilting workshop on one
day instead of three days and spend the rest of the weekend in retreat
mode include meeting with Incite.
- I thought it would be a good idea to
host the workshop for a day and a half. One day is never enough. Plus,
it gives people time to process and think about what they
learned/experienced the day before. There's a bigger opening when we
have a chance to reconvene with the same people the next day (Adele).
- Moya's: MOrning ge to know you
- breakfast community building
-
afternoon what we need
- next morning one specific skill and working through that with each organization
- closing before lunch
- Deepali: who is the audience ?
- Adele: can a question be added to the survey about what days work for people
- Proposal: retreat Thursday night-ALL
Day Friday. Cyberquilting Workshop All day Saturday, Sunday Morning.
Debrief on Sunday evening.
- Location for Workshop: Kelly said we can use lower level in the Jane Adams Hull House, but I would not recommend doing so. I agree. I'll be in Chicago this weekend meeting with people who may have ideas for other locations (Adele).
- Adele will talk with folks this weekend
- Fallon will talk with Beth and Cathy
- Moya send an email to Barbara about space at UIC
- Pick a date for organization meeting. My suggestion: last week of February (Adele). Monday 22 February evening. after 7:30
- Revise the calendar-Moya (adding everyone)adding Deepali to google groups
- Budget-Fallon and Adele
