SUMMARY:Our Right To Assemble: The History of Protest and Civil Disobedience in the U.S. w/ Matthew Whitaker
DESCRIPTION:The First Amendment prohibits the government from abridging “the right of the people peaceably to assemble.” This basic freedom ensures the right of people to come together and collectively express\, promote\, pursue\, and defend their collective or shared ideas. When and how have people engaged in protest? Who has engaged in protest? What is civil disobedience? Does everyone have the same right to assemble? In recent days the brutal murders of African Americans by the police has sparked widespread protest across the U.S. and even abroad. How do we balance public safety and human rights? How do race\, power and class impact access to free speech and the right to assemble? Participants will explore these questions in a safe\, interactive discussion. REGISTER HERE. \n  \nABOUT THE SPEAKER\nMatthew Whitaker is a decorated educator\, historian\, author\, social justice advocate\, motivational speaker\, and founder of the ASU Center for the Study of Race and Democracy\, where he taught for 16 years.

SUMMARY:Nice is Not Enough: Understanding Systemic Oppression with Rory Gilbert
DESCRIPTION:Current events across the nation are challenging us to take a hard look at how some groups of people are being treated differently from others on a daily basis. Why does this happen? What systems intentionally or implicitly benefit some people at the expense of others? How does systemic oppression impact certain groups at work\, at school\, and in the community? As the beneficiaries of these systemic decisions\, policies or laws\, we are often not even aware of the impact on us\, or the harm to others. This program provides an opportunity to explore how systems impact people differently\, and the steps we can take personally to eliminate unfair treatment and harm to others.
