RESIST: A SIMULATION OF STRUGGLE

THIS PROJECT is an experiment in liberation art and is the very first project of Resist: Atlanta’s Radical Art Community. A countercultural response to the social and political climate of our time, our artists will reclaim space and create a 60-minute simulation comprised of visual and performance projects and an interactive installation for attendees to navigate with the help of ally tour guides. This project and its ambassadors push back against: Racism, Sexism, Colonialism/Empire, Fascism, Transphobia, Homophobia, Islamophobia, Ableism and Xenophobia.

THIS MOMENT in history demands that we resist systems of oppression and repression attempting to conceal and censor our stories. In reimagining new futures for our marginalized communities, we must reclaim ownership of our narratives. We must exhaust every platform available to us so that the silenced and invisible can finally dictate the terms of engagement.

THIS MOVEMENT is a radical response to the moment and inspired by long held traditions of resistance art. It gives power to the immense potential of art to touch, move, and transport minds and bodies in an effort to connect the dots between the personal and political. It holds the art and the artist accountable to a great responsibility: to regard the audience’s experience as sacred. To spur thinking into spacio-temporal engagement and then into action through the stories they tell. This movement mitigates the numbing effects of information overload and transforms disenchantment into action.

OUR ARTISTS are a group of 16 who feel deeply that art is central to revolutionary work. We are artists committed to creating that which “comforts the afflicted and afflicts the comfortable.” We exert the power of art and the story unapologetically. We wield our voices, our bodies, our minds, our hearts to dance, sing, write, speak, paint, move, shout–that the stories and truths of our people will be made known to all who encounter us. We artists of color, of non-men, of trans, queer, and indigenous identities. We are artists existing across religions and no religion. We are artists from underserved communities and disenfranchised communities. We are immigrants and the children of immigrants. We are loud and and we are filled with righteous rage.

Comrades,

Join us on Tuesday, September 25th for a public forum that will be held in Committee Room 1 at 3pmEst at the Atlanta City Hall. The public forum is being held by the public safety committee to reflect on and get an assessment of the bail ordinance the city council passed earlier this week. Please read below for more context. Will you join us?

Context: (will try to keep it brief 🙂

Across the South and this country, people are in active resistance in the fight to dismantle the bail system. Consider this a report from the field as it relates to the ongoing struggle to end money bail in the city of Atlanta.

This year during Black History month, the city council voted unanimously to pass the ordinance to end money bail with full support from new Mayor, Kesha Lance-Bottoms. We said that their efforts was an entry point into the conversation. The ordinance was and is a starting place toward a much longer journey and vision that we have to end pre-trial detention and build the community controlled institutions we need to clean up the mess that mass incarceration has made.

We know that our families and communities have been destabilized by the war on the poor and working-class and the war on drugs. Our fight is both a political and spiritual one because our vision and goal is abolition. We are after a complete culture change and abolitionist reforms. We have been clear that a system that has taken literally centuries, to perfect will not be dismantled without divesting from cops, courts, and cages. You can’t change the policy without changing the spending habits. The city must invest in community based and controlled institutions. No single ordinance will do.

Since the passing of the ordinance, the SONG Hot n Ready campaign team has been court watching to witness how serious the city appointed judges and the solicitors have taken the passage of the ordinance. We plan to reveal our findings at the bail review meeting and it’s not looking pretty. It’s not all bad though, many people are no longer being held in the jail and have been offered return on recognizance (ROR) or signature bonds. We will also be calling for the money that has been save to be invested in a community-based support services and take pre-trial services from the courts all together. It’s an uphill journey ya’ll but we on our way!!

If you have been impacted by this or are pissed off and want to do something about it, please hit us up and join our campaign team! Come get you some of this work! We need you! If you are a scrappy queer that wants to join this political home
as a member hit us up! taylor@southernersonnewground.org

Shout out to everyone who has been throwing down, showing up, sharing, volunteering and gettin’ in where ya fit in. Shout out to Women on the Rise as they lead the fight to close the city jail. Collectively we will kick the door down, and collectively we will pull the walls down!! Shout out to the brave warriors engaged in the #prisonstrike! Another world is possible family…

Until justice,

SONG ATL

Please support Clarkston residents by showing up to Clarkston’s city council meeting on Tuesday, October 2, 2018 at 7:00pm.
Support the right of residents to speak for themselves!!
Wear something purple for unity.

After over a year of secrecy, it has been revealed that the North American Mission Board (NAMB) has been planning a $15 million dollar development in Clarkston, GA. NAMB is the domestic missions agency of the Southern Baptist Convention. A recent article https://on-ajc.com/2O5Rr4y in the AJC states, “City officials kept it quiet, never mentioning demolition permits or any details about the plans, residents say.”

It is unjust to speak for people and tell them what will help/benefit them. Let people decide for themselves what benefits them and their families. Transparency about what is happening in one’s own community is essential for democracy.

OUR VOICES MUST BE HEARD!! PLEASE COME OUT AND SHOW SUPPORT!

https://bit.ly/2Qd43Z9
https://bit.ly/2oYQq3t

The article ( https://on-ajc.com/2O5Rr4y ) continues that Mayor Ted Terry said he thought the proposal was not necessarily serious, so he didn’t need to go public. ‘I asked (church officials) to have a public hearing before they act,’ Terry said. ‘They admitted they screwed up. They should have done this months ago before they started demolishing things.’”

Terry has also claimed that “he smells xenophobia and white privilege in the opposition…I didn’t see too many young families opposing the plan. Preserve our neighborhood is code words for we don’t want those people near us. People say the Southern Baptist Convention is bigots, racists, anti-gay. I understand that feeling. But he called the religious organization handling the effort, a group called Send Relief, “the more charitable, open-minded wing of the Baptist tent.” Terry described how anti-Baptist bias might be fueling the opposition: “There’s a new mosque being built around the corner. It’s interesting that no neighbors were knocking on doors asking that it not be built….There’s a coalition that’s emerged…There’s my Bernie Sanders friends saying, ‘We don’t want them converting refugees.’ And others are saying, ‘We don’t want them in our backyard.’ It’s an odd bedfellows thing here.”

“One of my dreams is for every Muslim, Hindu and Buddhist to have a Christian friend who can point them toward Christ,” stated Trent DeLoach, Clarkston International Bible Church’s senior pastor and director of the Send Relief ministry hub. “Most refugees have significant physical and emotional needs. They need Christian friends who can share the love of Jesus while helping them transition to life in America.”

By living next door to families with diverse cultural backgrounds, Elizabeth (DeLoach’s wife) says they have opportunities to influence the nations. “These people are still connected to home,” she said, explaining that many are from remote villages that would be difficult for missionaries to access. “You’re able to make a wider impact as you reach these families.” (https://bit.ly/2CUui4a)

Some context of why Terry said, “people say the Southern Baptist Convention is bigots, racists, and anti gay”:
They first separated from the Baptists over slavery, including the belief that slave owners could be missionaries. “In 1995, the convention voted to adopt a resolution renouncing its racist roots and apologizing for its past defense of slavery, segregation, and white supremacy.” (https://bit.ly/2CHAcFz)

According to the Human Rights Campaign, “In 2017, top leaders of the SBC joined other evangelical leaders in a statement Aug. 29 denouncing LGBTQ people and their identities as “inconsistent with God’s holy purposes in creation and redemption.”
https://bit.ly/2N755I7

“Our ultimate vision is to be a multi-ethnic, spirit-filled church family where all people can come to know, experience, and serve Jesus Christ.”- Send Relief

“Refugees and internationals come to North America seeking security, opportunity and home. Often, they enter the country unable to speak, read or understand the language. They come with tremendous dreams, but their needs leave them vulnerable to manipulation and abuse. You can and your church can protect them and help them adapt through international support and genuine friendship.”
https://bit.ly/2Qko4gq

According to the Pew Research Center (https://pewrsr.ch/1Yr2TZ3) in 2014 the Southern Baptist Convention consisted of:
85% White
6% Black
<1% Asian
3% Latino
5% Other/Mixed

2% Immigrants
2% Second generation
96% Third generation or higher

Clarkston consists of:
9% White
59% Black
25% Asian
5% Hispanic
2% Mixed
(https://bit.ly/2N84sOs)

(These were the race categories listed)

David Melber NAMB is the Vice President for Send Relief, which is overseeing the partnership of NAMB and Clarkston International Bible Church. He stated, “We get a lot of calls from churches requesting missions exposure to different mercy/compassion ministries. We want to provide that through such ventures that we are proposing with the Georgia site. We hope to use each of these as distinctive examples from which congregations nationwide can choose to visit and study and then make practical application when they return home. For example, Clarkston will serve as a multicultural urban setting with refugees and immigrants while Ashland will serve for a more rural experience. We do not intend to restrict, but support, the local church’s ongoing outreach into its community.”

Trent DeLoach, Clarkston International Bible Church’s senior pastor and director of the Send Relief ministry hub stated, “NAMB will assume all operational costs but Clarkston International will continue to worship here as it always has. The only difference is NAMB will help us to tell our story to a wider audience. We will be able to leverage what we have learned over 40 years of ministry, of surviving a transitional community that was not easy at times, and emerging as a congregation that very closely reflects the community in which it is located.
“There will be opportunities for youth groups to experience a specific setting and for internships where individuals receive a more in-depth hands on experience.”

Send Relief partnership site:
https://www.cibcfamily.com/send-relief/
“Many types of ministries are housed underneath the Send Relief banner including ministry focused on refugees. Send Relief is committed to equipping churches to reach out to their immediate neighborhoods. Clarkston is a unique community with unprecedented Great Commission opportunities. A ministry hub in Clarkston would provide the platform to educate other churches on the strategic opportunity to minister to refugees and other immigrant groups.”The prayer of CIBC and NAMB is for the Hub strategy to make Clarkston an even greater place to live and serve among the nations that God is bringing to North America.”

So please support Clarkston residents by showing up to Clarkston’s city council meeting on Tuesday, October 2, 2018 at 7:00pm.
Support the right of residents to speak for themselves!!
Wear something purple for unity.

SEE YOU ON TUESDAY OCTOBER 2 AT 7:00 PM!

Cops, politicians, and ordinary people are afraid of black men. The result is the Chokehold: laws and practices that treat every African American man like a thug. In this explosive new book, an African American former federal prosecutor shows that the system is working exactly the way it’s supposed to. Black men are always under watch, and police violence is widespread—all with the support of judges and politicians.

In his no-holds-barred style, Butler, whose scholarship has been featured on 60 Minutes, uses new data to demonstrate that white men commit the majority of violent crime in the United States. For example, a white woman is ten times more likely to be raped by a white male acquaintance than be the victim of a violent crime perpetrated by a black man. Butler also frankly discusses the problem of black on black violence and how to keep communities safer—without relying as much on police.

Chokehold powerfully demonstrates why current efforts to reform law enforcement will not create lasting change. Butler’s controversial recommendations about how to crash the system, and when it’s better for a black man to plead guilty—even if he’s innocent—are sure to be game-changers in the national debate about policing, criminal justice, and race relations.

About Paul Butler

A former federal prosecutor, Paul Butler provides legal commentary for CNN, MSNBC, and NPR and has been featured on 60 Minutes and profiled in the Washington Post. A law professor at Georgetown University, he is the author of Let’s Get Free: A Hip-Hop Theory of Justice, winner of the Harry Chapin Media Award, and Chokehold: Policing Black Men (both from The New Press). He has published numerous op-eds and book reviews, including in the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Boston Globe, and the Los Angeles Times. He lives in Washington, D.C.

Save the Date for the 20th Annual Ek Shaam Raksha Ke Naam

Celebrating the past and changing the future!

Sunday October 7, 2018

https://www.facebook.com/events/234262940575461/

Anita, Ebony, Cristen, and Caroline invite you to a live “Unladylike” podcast conversation about the history of some of the unremembered women Anita and Ebony profile in History Vs. Women and discuss how to practice the “practical hell-raising” that Caroline and Cristen advocate in their book, Unladylike: A Field Guide to Smashing the Patriarchy and Claiming Your Space.

This is will be a rowdy, unruly and definitely unladylike conversation for feminists of all genders and all ages who want to learn more of our unwritten histories and more about how to be the kind of person who changes history in small and powerful ways each and every day.

This is event takes place at Gaines Chapel at Agnes Scott College. To guarantee a seat/admission you must purchase a ticket/book bundle with either a copy of History Vs. Women or Unladylike via this Eventbrite link.

One ticket gets you a copy of the book you selected and a seat in the reserved seating area upon arrival to the venue. Both books will be available for purchase in the lobby at the event should you wish to buy multiple copies. You do not have to buy a ticket to attend the event but it is likely to sell out and we cannot guarantee seating without a ticket. Agnes Scott Students are especially encouraged to attend. Both books will *also* be available for purchase in the lobby. Books bought with ticket will be available for pick up at the event and Books not picked up will be held for week at store (1189 Euclid Ave. NE Atlanta, GA 30307) following the event.

A funny, fact-driven, and illustrated field guide to how to live a feminist life in today’s world, from the hosts of the hit Unladylike podcast.

Get ready to get unladylike with this field guide to the what’s, why’s, and how’s of intersectional feminism and practical hell-raising. Through essential, inclusive, and illustrated explorations of what patriarchy looks like in the real world, authors and podcast hosts Cristen Conger and Caroline Ervin blend wild histories, astounding stats, social justice principles, and self-help advice to connect where the personal meets political in our bodies, brains, booty calls, bank accounts, and other confounding facets of modern woman-ing and nonbinary-ing. By laying out the uneven terrain of double-standards, head games, and handouts patriarchy has manspread across society for ages, Unladylike is here to unpack our gender baggage and map out the space that’s ours to claim.

Cristen Conger is a former senior staff writer and host for HowStuffWorks.com and co-creator of the hit podcast Stuff Mom Never Told You. She is a contributing writer for Refinery29, and her writing has appeared on Jezebel, Huffington Post Women, MSNBC, and ABC News.
