March 24th Virtual Town Hall: Reimagining the Justice System
Thursday, March 11th, 2021
Hello friends, I hope to see you March 24th (2pm) for a much needed discussion surrounding prison reform and our broken justice system. You’ll be meeting four of our Nation’s leading thought leaders, founders and activists that are tackling issues surrounding the prison industrial complex. We will have a candid conversation about how we can rebuild a system based on rehabilitation, community healing and human dignity. We’ll analyze historic systems of oppression, how we got to this point and how we can end the Profit over People mentality and practices that are destroying families. You’ll walk away inspired and with a CLEAR call to action of how you can personally fight against this egregious attack on human rights and basic liberties. The event is free and we need your support. If this is an issue you care about, are affected by or have been curious about, you won’t want to miss this panel.Please register and share with your networks.

The Witch Institute: CALL FOR PROPOSALS
Wednesday, January 6th, 2021August 16-22, 2021; Virtual Event
Queens University*
Katarokwi/Kingston, Canada
*Queens University is situated on Anishinaabe and Haudenosaunee territories
What is the Witch Institute?
In the last few years, the witch has re-emerged as a powerful political symbol. Across cinemas and television, in books and podcasts, and via hashtag activism, the proliferation of the witch in media signals a critique of the existing world order and its reliance on the subjugation of marginalized peoples. In order to better understand the meaning and impact of current media representations of the witch, we will hold an expanded conversation between activists, artists, filmmakers, curators, historians, scholars, witches, feminists, healers, and more.

MakeLA is recruiting!
Friday, October 16th, 2020MakeLA is a new organization at UCLA that aims to connect students from the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) with the tools of the MakerSpace at UCLA. 3D printers, laser cutters, and other machines are for everyone, not just for students interested in engineering — the skills learned by working with these tools can foster creative problem solving skills and can demonstrate that with DIY projects, the sky is the limit. Since winter quarter (2021) will be MakeLA’s pilot quarter, I’m looking for people who want to help start the organization (no experience with the MakerSpace is necessary)!
