Description

Many non-profits run themselves with traditional hierarchies. This is not only often ineffective but power-over structures also run counter the mission of equality and empowerment for everyone.

Sociocracy is an option for those non-profits that want to give both staff, board and core volunteers more voice, strengthen the connection, increase transparency and lessen micro-management. Over the past years, sociocracy has found its way into several non-profits in the United States and world-wide, and it has long turned into tried-and-tested governance system.

This short introduction introduces the basic ideas and highlights the advantages in particular for non-profits as well as the challenges. There will be opportunities for questions – see how sociocracy would apply to your unique organization.

Presenter Jerry Koch-Gonzalez has founded and been a board member of several non-profits (Institute for Community Economics, Class Action, United for a Fair Economy, National Coalition Building Institute, Institute For Peaceable Communities). Jerry has supported many organizations as a consultant for diversity, governance and communication, and he is co-author of the 2018 sociocracy handbook – Many Voices One Song – our Sociocracy manual.

This event will be offered on zoom.

GRANDMOTHERS WISDOM: REVERENCE FOR ALL CREATION
Book Launch

September 18, 2019
Tibet House US, New York, NY

Our much-anticipated book promises to be a ground-breaking portrayal of traditional spiritual women in history and will be an inspiration for all. These stories are ageless wisdom of earth-based cultures that can benefit all people in today’s climate of disconnection.

Please join the Grandmothers and special guests in New York City for the book launch of Grandmothers Wisdom: Reverence for All Creation.

Tickets are selling fast!

GRANDMOTHERS WISDOM: Reverence for All Creation – Book Launch

September 18, 2019

4:00 – 7:30 pm

Tibet House

22 West 15th Street

New York, NY 10011

Join the International Council of Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers, Dr. Henrietta Mann, Nena Thurman and other special guests for the book launch of“Grandmothers Wisdom: Reverence for All Creation”.

The Earth is our loving grandmother. For all time, Cheyenne storytellers, generation after generation, have repeated this belief with both their minds and their hearts. As they say, The Great One, Everywhere Spirit, created the universe and all life with power so vast it defies human imagination. Entirely with the force of thought, the four powerful spirit beings came into existence to witness creation and to eventually safeguard and shelter all life, especially human beings. Next came the water of life, the fire and light of the sun, the infinite sky air, and compassionate Earth. The Great One, Everywhere Spirit, contemplated creation and thought the Earth to be the most beautiful of all, then declared that the Earth be known as our grandmother.

Grandmother Earth is also, more commonly, referred to as Mother Earth. Indeed, she is first woman, first mother, first teacher, oldest mother, and oldest grandmother. The Thirteen Indigenous Grandmothers whose magnificent lives are encapsulated in the work of this book represent Earth’s titanic spirit, power, beauty, and love. Individually and collectively, they are rooted in the Earth and carry her wisdom as a perpetual trust. They are committed to sustaining their Earth home and to educating and defending the hearts of all the world’s children.

Please join us in celebrating the manifestation of “Grandmothers Wisdom: Reverence for All Creation”, life and the continuation of this movement of peace, spiritual activism, honoring Mother Earth and future generations.

Seating is first-come, first-served.

Reception and book signing to follow. To join the signing line, we ask that you please purchase a copy of the book available at the event.

EDUCATE A LEGISLATOR DAY with the Poor People’s Campaign – FREEDOM DEMANDS ACTION: STOP OHIO SB 33

Sep 25 @ 9:00 am – 4:00 pm

FREEDOM DEMANDS ACTION: STOP OHIO SB 33
EDUCATE A LEGISLATOR DAY
Wednesday, Sept 25, 9 am to 4 pm
A Call for Action

Ohio SB 33 makes it a felony to dissent and threatens our constitutional rights to freedom of speech and assembly. It is a shameless attempt by the Gas and Oil industry to prevent Ohioans from from exercising our right to disagree with government policies and protest at sites of pollution and ecological devastation. Come help stop this bill.

8 am – Coffee, Sheraton Hotel, 75 E. State St. Come early to get good parking
9 am – Training and information program. Sheraton Columbus –
9:30-12:00 – Educate a Legislator meetings
12:00 – Meet outside at the Riffe Center 77 S High St – Grassroots leaders speak out on SB 33, ALEC. Bring banners, signs, and cameras. (No sticks allowed to hold up signs or banners.)
1:00 – We will deliver a letter to Gov. DeWine. Gather in the lobby of Riffe Center. Clergy are asked to wear appropriate clerical garb.
1: 30 – Lunch on your own.
2:30 – 3:30 – Educate a Legislator meetings
3:30-4:00 – Meet at Sheraton to close

REGISTER HERE: or at: https://forms.gle/9MndaymopD7ELipH6

Ohio SB 33 was written by industry lobbyists and is heavily influenced by corporate campaign contributions and dark money. SB 33 is an example of the Distorted Moral Narrative Dr. Barber has warned us about.

This bill has been traced back to the American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) and the Council of State Governments (CSG), both of which receive generous funding from the oil and gas industry. They want to discourage and stifle protests at all oil and gas pipeline and production sites and stop protests like that at Standing Rock in North Dakota.

Under SB 33, it could become a felony for peaceful demonstrators to be present at an event where someone else breaks a law. And creates financial penalties for supporting organizations so extreme they will bankrupt any non-profit or congregation that opposes industrial ecological devastation. It also punishes groups who provide legal aid to those accused under this law.

REGISTER HERE: or at: https://forms.gle/9MndaymopD7ELipH6

The Public Utilities Committee will decide on this bill. We need to speak with as many of them as possible. We will ask people to join a small team to meet with the Utility Committee Members as well as their own legislators.

We urge you to make your voice heard in the halls of the Statehouse.
If we are silent, the only voices that our legislators will hear will be those of the gas and oil lobbyists.
Together we can drown out the noise of those whose loyalty is to greed, pollution, and repression of dissent.
Together we will show our unity.
Together we will present our legislators with a clear vision of the Ohio we want for all citizens, now and into the future.
Please share this widely.

Meeting will be at the Main Library – Huenefeld Tower Room

In 2013, the Supreme Court gutted the core of one of the crowning achievements of the civil rights movement: the Voting Rights Act. The 1965 bill, propelled by the historic march of protesters from Montgomery to Selma, Alabama, officially put an end to the literacy tests, poll taxes, and voting restrictions that had disenfranchised millions of minority voters for decades. And it went further than that: it also required areas of the country with a history of using these discriminatory tactics to get federal approval before making any changes to voting.- Vice News Oct. 16, 2020

Soon after the ruling in 2013, polling locations were closed and many of the closed polls were in neighborhoods with large minority populations.

We will review the history and ramifications of the gutting of the Voting Rights Act. Then we will discuss what are the possible solutions to solving attacks on our nation’s voting rights in our community, our state and our nation.

If you are able, please bring a dish to share. Please let us know if you have any needs to allow you to participate fully.
