SUMMARY:Sanctuary Workplace Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Immigrant-led worker cooperatives have been a successful tactic for migrant communities to build power\, build wealth\, and develop member-leaders. However\, the recent political situation is a reminder that migrant workers and other communities remain vulnerable to injustice and disempowerment. This is a call to action to extend protection and safety to all communities facing harassment and persecution in the workplace\, including all people of color\, immigrants\, Muslims\, and people with disabilities. This session will define what expanding sanctuary means\, how this strategy has been utilized over time to create safe and hate-free spaces for everyone\, in particular\, those being persecuted for their immigration status. We will share a new resource guide that has been recently launched by the USFWC and DAWI in collaboration with Urban Justice Center\, where people can obtain information about their rights as worker-owners within the workplace and as individuals/families

SUMMARY:Learning SSE From the Continents
DESCRIPTION:Starting from June 2017\, Pacific Asia Resource Center (PARC) which is a member of ASEC/RIPESS-Asia based in Japan\, will host a webinar series “Learning SSE from the Continents“. \nWhat is it that comes across between movements in EU\, Africa\, Latin America\, North America\, Asia and Japan? \nIn spite of the divers socio-economic situations that these places face\, there is yet a growing movement of social solidarity economy that has something in common. What exactly is the vision that we all share? What are some of the challenges that are shared\, and how can we all work in solidarity; overcoming the contextual differences that we face. \nThis webinar series is aimed at finding hints to these questions by bringing aboard leading SSE practitioners/activists from EU\, North America\, Africa\, Latin America and Asia and listening to the state of SSE movements in their respective continents\, sub-regions\, or specific countries. Most of them are working closely for the Ripess continental network they are belonging to. \nThe aim is to broaden our standing of SSE by understanding better the circumstances of the respective territories and through that to better grasp the Global Vision of SSE that RIPESS has drafted. \nSpeakers will speak to audiences in Japan through video conferencing software\, and consecutive interpretations will be offered only into Japanese from the speakers’. In addition\, some of the speakers will be speakers from Japan who will be only speaking to those physically present in the venue in Tokyo\, Japan. \nHowever\, international participants are welcome to join the webinars through video conferencing software to listen into the speakers give their lectures. Those attending must keep in mind that Japanese consecutive interpretations will cut in between\, but the webinar part will be open to the international community\, and any participation fees will not be collected. \nWe aim at publishing some articles along this webinar series in order to highlight our common visions and the state of SSE movements over the world. \nPlease see below the schedule of speakers: \n\nJune 26th 7PM-9PM JST (UTC+9)\, Jason Nardi (RIPESS EU/Solidarius)\nJuly 10th 7PM-9PM JST (UTC+9)\, Elandria Williams (Highlander Center)\nSep. 4th 7PM-9PM JST (UTC+9)\, Madani Koumare (RAESS – RENAPESS)\nOct. 23rd 7PM-9PM JST (UTC+9)\, Euclides Mance (Solidarius)\nNov. 6th 7PM-9PM JST (UTC+9)\, Judith Hitchman (Urgenci)\nNov. 20th 7PM-9PM JST (UTC+9)\, Lawrence Kwark (GSEF)\n\nSince bandwidth is limited\, we do ask that participants register at least 1 week in advance. \nPlease contact Shigeru Tanaka (alter@parc-jp.org) at PARC for further information and registrations.

SUMMARY:Black Land & Liberation Initiative Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Over the past nine months\, circles of Black farmers\, educators\, healers\, cultural workers\, and organizers have been aligning their analysis and visions through the Black Land & Liberation Initiative. \nWe believe all peoples have the right to the resources required to create their own productive\, dignified and sustainable livelihoods through their own labor and self-governance. The wealth created from the theft of Black peoples and Indigenous land form the foundation of the U.S. economy. \nIn June\, we are launching a National Call to Reclaim land as Black folks to steward and govern as centers of joy\, healing\, and sanctuary. This is a step in co-creating strategies for transformation grounded in a long-term vision\, guided by the resilience and creativity of our ancestry\, and rooted in our sovereignty. \nWe must transfer wealth from where it has been concentrated and used as a weapon against Black bodies\, Indigenous lands\, and the very planet we all depend upon. We must assert our right to the self-determination of our peoples alongside Indigenous sovereignty. \nPlease join us for a webinar on Monday\, May 15th to learn more about how you can support strategies for transformation and Black liberation. \nWe look forward to connecting with you soon!\nBlackOut Collective\, Movement Generation\, and Solidaire
