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.

“Legal Issues for Artists”: Workshop for Emerging & Established Artists
Thursday, March 11th, 2021Barnsdall Art Center is a facility operated by the Department of Cultural Affairs for the City of Los Angeles and offers college-level arts instruction at a low cost for adults. The center’s hope is to better prepare folks interested in starting a career in the arts as well as provide affordable resources to professional artists who can’t speak to a lawyer regularly.
Currently, the center is offering a special workshop titled “Legal Issues for Artists” to help emerging and established artists navigate the legal side of working as an artist. Taught by Derek Lee, a glass mosaic artist & lawyer, the workshop will cover a wide range of topics from starting an art business, copyrights/trademarks, contracts, grants, and much more.
This workshop will start Friday, March 19 from 6:30 PM – 8 PM. It will run on Fridays for 6 weeks at the same time. I’ve attached a pdf & png copy of the flyer we created for the class.
Here is the link for students to sign up for this workshop.
