SUMMARY:People Power Change: Organizing For Democratic Renewal
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a conversation between legendary civil rights organizer Marshall Ganz and Professor Manuel Pastor of the USC Dornsife Equity Research Institute on Friday\, October 4. They will explore how students\, faculty and staff can maximize our people power for change. Stay for a delicious lunch and make connections among those who are working for those changes on this campus and beyond. \nREGISTER AT HERE \nThe event is being hosted by the USC Annenberg Innovation Lab. Their description of the experience is quoted here: \n“Marshall’s new book\, “People Power Change: Organizing for Democratic Renewal” is at once a practical guide on how to reclaim democratic power and an inspiring manifesto for collective organizing as an essential driver of democracy. The book draws on the values\, ideas\, and skills driving an actionable framework of how to do it: the creation and substance of relationships\, the fuel of values and narrative\, the resources and power of strategy\, the accountability of action\, and the necessity of structure. \nMarshall Ganz has spent his life dedicated to the craft of organizing people to enact the change they want to see in the world\, and this book is the culmination of his teaching\, research\, and work. His many experiences include advocating for civil rights with Bob Moses and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee\, 16 years organizing with Cesar Chavez and the United Farm Workers\, developing the grassroots strategy for President Obama’s 2008 election campaign\, and decades training future leaders at Harvard’s Kennedy School. \nThis event has limited capacity and RSVP is required – guests without USC ID will be emailed a guest pass QR code for campus access on the day of the event. \nCo-sponsored by: Equity Research Institute\, Center for the Political Future\, Arts and Climate Collective\, Arts in Action\, Center on Communication Leadership and Policy.”

SUMMARY:University Park Slow Jams: Norwood Elementary Band Aid
DESCRIPTION:Let’s fix the bad sidewalks around Norwood Elementary School!\nJoin the NORWOOD BAND AID ACTIVATION\nTuesday\, February 28\, 2023\, from 7:00-8:30am\n  \nWhat’s the “Norwood Band Aid Activation?” \nTo call attention to this longstanding issue\, we’re recruiting folks to place giant band aids on top of sidewalk “ouchies.” These are no regular band aids; they boast a QR code that\, when scanned\, takes you to MyLA311 so that we can report these bad sidewalks. Our goal is to create a tidal wave of these reports so that the City will pay attention and fix them and we can stop tripping over them. Once the band aids are in place\, we’ll encourage friends and neighbors to report them as well. For added\, good-natured pressure\, we can post photos of our adventures to Instagram\, tagging @myla311. \nSign up with Nicole Carrera\, carreran@usc.edu \n \nWho’s organizing this activity?\nUniversity Park Slow Jams (UPSJ)\, a collaboration between Public Matters\, USC Kid Watch\, USC Price\, USC University Relations\, and Los Angeles Walks that works with five local schools to advocate for safe\, people-friendly streets for all. UPSJ partners collaborate with community members on memorable\, eye-catching spectacles that call attention to dangerous traffic conditions and broken public infrastructure. Through workshops\, trainings\, and direct engagement\, University Park Slow Jams seeks to build participants’ capacity to create safer\, more walkable streets.  \n\n\nUniversity Park Slow Jams (UPSJ)\, a collaboration between Public Matters\, USC Kid Watch\, USC Price\, USC University Relations\, and Los Angeles Walks that works with five local schools to advocate for safe\, people-friendly streets for all.

SUMMARY:42nd Annual USC Celebration of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. – MLK/FBI: A Screening and Conversation with Sam Pollard
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, we are excited to present a special screening of the illuminating documentary MLK/FBI\, followed by a conversation with Sam Pollard\, its Emmy-winning and Oscar-nominated director who was deemed one of “cinema’s most dedicated chroniclers of the Black experience in America” by Film at Lincoln Center in 2021. \nReleased in 2020\, MLK/FBI is the first film to uncover the extent of the FBI’s surveillance and harassment of the civil rights leader. Based on newly discovered and declassified files\, utilizing a trove of documents obtained through the Freedom of Information Act and unsealed by the National Archives\, as well as revelatory restored footage\, the documentary explores the government’s history of targeting Black activists\, and the contested meaning behind some of America’s most cherished ideals. Featuring interviews with key cultural figures including former FBI director James Comey\, MLK/FBI tells this astonishing and tragic story with searing relevance to our current moment. \nThe event will be introduced by USC President Carol L. Folt. Following the screening\, USC Annenberg professor and award-winning journalist Miki Turner will join Sam Pollard for a conversation about making the film\, its impact\, and the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King\, Jr. \nFor more details\, click HERE

SUMMARY:California Dystopia: Understanding Climate Change and Social Collapse through Science Fiction
DESCRIPTION:In the fall of 2020\, when wildfires turned the once-blue skies of California into a glowing orange hellscape—all amid a viral pandemic marked by severe racial and social disparities and protests over police violence against communities of color—some of the darkest fiction about California’s future seemed especially prescient. \nModerated by Los Angeles Times culture columnist Carolina A. Miranda\, a wide-ranging panel including climate resiliency expert John Bwarie\, Octavia Butler scholar Ayana A. H. Jamieson\, science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson\, and climate scientist Daniel Swain will try to make sense of a California that increasingly resembles the dystopia of Butler’s classic novel Parable of the Sower. Were the historic wildfires of 2020 an aberration—or the new normal? How do social and environmental distress amplify each other? Do fictional depictions of California’s future inform\, encourage\, or hinder efforts to build a better future? And can utopian visions still play a role? \nFor more info click HERE
