      Read more »
      Special Fee Program

      Singing with Courage! Jon Arterton’s workshop benefits experienced singers and novices. Learn to sing freely with strength, ease and confidence.

      Participants are gently guided through group singing, improvisation and vocal exercises – It’s not about reading music – it’s about making sound and finding the voice, in a safe and fun environment.

      Shower-singers and Closet-singers are welcome! Singing sessions daily and time to rest, relax and explore the White Mountain wilderness. $150 fee.

      JON ARTERTON was twice a Tanglewood Vocal Fellow at the Berkshire Music Festival, and holds a Master’s Degree in Choral Conducting from The New England Conservatory of Music. He was the founder and musical arranger of The Flirtations, the proudly gay a cappella group seen in the film Philadelphia. He conducts The Outer Cape Chorale, a 140-voice community chorus in Provincetown, Massachusetts. He and his husband James Mack have recently released their first CD together entitled Legally Married … and the sky didn’t fall!

      More about this year’s theme: On the Cusp

      This year’s theme refers to a moment in music history when many stylistic trends coalesce into what appears to be a new era and a new attitude. In 2012 we will focus on two such “cusps”: the transition from the Middle Ages to the Renaissance (ca. 1450) and the Baroque revolution (ca. 1600).

      We will study and perform music from the midfifteenth century, both English and Burgundian, which reveals the infusion of the “contenance angloise” into music of the Continent, with its resulting transformations of harmony and lyricism. Composers include Dunstable, Dufay and Binchois.

      Music from around the year 1600 by composers such as Monteverdi, D’India, William Lawes and Schütz will be explored to discover the seismic shift from madrigal to solo song, from polyphony to monody, from subtle implication of emotion to direct dramatic expression.

      While most of these stylistic transformations initially affected vocal music, the changes of the cusps were manifested in subsequent instrumental music as well; in our workshops we will sharpen our awareness of the progressive tendencies to be found in the music of both periods.

      Understanding the Disappearance of Teachers of Color in Our Schools
      10:00 am – 12:00 pm
      Read more »
      Morning Program

      New York Collective of Radical Educators (NYCoRE) is a group of public school educators based in New York City who are committed to fighting for social justice in our school system and society, by organizing and mobilizing teachers, developing curriculum, and working with community, parent, and student groups. As an organization committed to racial and economic equality, we have engaged in a critical exploration of the causes and effects of the disappearance of teachers of color in our public schools, a trend that has increased dramatically in the past eleven years under Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

      In this presentation, we will discuss the factors behind the disappearance of Black and Latino teachers and its effects on students, schools and communities. Next, we will discuss how NYCoRE works to support teachers of color in our group, increase recruitment and retention of educators of color, and maintain a commitment to anti-racism in our organization.

      Check the group out online at www.nycore.org.

      Why Socialism?

      Evening Program

      We hope for a society that distributes wealth fairly and a government that addresses people’s needs while restraining Capititalism’s worst tendencies. But, the inevitable clash between the interest of working people and Capitalism makes Socialism the compelling alternative. Here’s why.

      Speaker Nancy Goldner is a member of the Executive Board of the Boston Local of the Democratic Socialists of America. For most of her adult life, she has studied, believed in and advocated for social and economic justice. Eventually she came to see that being “progressive” was not moving our society in the direction of “economic democracy,” in fact, it was going in the opposite direction. This led her to Socialism: to study its history and the socialist critique of Capitalism and to join with other Socialists in putting forward a socialist analysis and program even as Capitalism continues to dominate here and around the world. In her talk, she will also speak to a “prefigurative politics”, that is how to practice Socialism.

      If people would like to do some background reading, Nancy recommends The ”S” Word, A Short History of An American Tradition…Socialism.

      Body Movement       Special Fee Program

      An Intensive Feldenkrais® Retreat with Josh Schreiber Shalem. This retreat is not about standing on your head. It’s about the process of learning to stand on your head. Along the way you will discover:
      -how to soften your body and reduce effort in general;
      -your breath, and how to recognize — and avoid — the habit of holding it when encountering a challenge;
      -the spine (especially the neck), and how to more efficiently carry your weight, whether inverted or upright;
      -ease, poise, confidence, and power in your posture.
      Most importantly, you will learn how to take on a challenge with gentle curiosity, allowing yourself to arrive at an objective through a focus on the process, rather than pursuing a goal with force and strain. No experience necessary. Open to all abilities. People new to Feldenkrais are welcomed to arrive a couple of days early for a low-key warm-up. Program fee: $125 by June 1; $150 after.

      Artistic Director: Aparna Sindhoor. Co-Directors: Anil Natyaveda and S M Raju

      Navarasa Dance Theater was founded by renowned dancer/choreographer Dr. Aparna Sindhoor in 1991. Inspired by the eclectic performing arts traditions, boldly knitting together dance, singing, martial arts, and original music into seamless theatrical presentations, Navarasa’s multilayered, multilingual productions inspire, engage and entertain audiences around the world. Original movement vocabulary created by choreographers Aparna Sindhoor and Anil Natyaveda along with theatrical narratives designed by S M Raju, Navarasa Dance Theater’s work is specific and universal at the same time.

      Navarasa Dance Theater has performed in the North America, Asia and Europe and has been presented at various festivals and venues including the Bates Dance Festival, Lincoln Center (NYC), and NJPAC, Jacob’s Pillow and Asian American Theater Festival, USA, Teesri Duniya Theater, Canada, Amol Palekhar’s Beyond Words Theatre Festival and Bahuroopi National Theatre Festival, India and Franco Dragone’s INDIA show in Germany.

      Navarasa Dance Theater has performing arts training schools in USA and India. Navarasa’s ongoing teaching programs include Dance for Everyone project that offers scholarships and free dance training for underprivileged children.

      “I have never seen anything quite like Aparna Sindoor’s company, Navarasa Dance Theatre, in action…. The dance is definitely rooted in the traditional, but they have incorporated into the movement elements from occidental modern dance (there is a stunning pas de deux that would be at home with Alvin Ailey’s company) and even more eclectic suggestions than that” – Gaëtan L. Charlebois, Montreal Review

      “A magical mix of tradition, styles. Moving tales from Navarasa.” – Karen Campbell. Boston Globe

      Morning Program

      The poor in India have borne a disproportionate cost of development having forced to give up community control over natural resources but have received the fruits only through trickle down logic. Systematic dispossession and pauperization amount to violation of human rights.

      Somnath Mukherji has been working with the Association for India’s Development (AID) for 10 years, working with several grassroots groups across India in the fields of health, agriculture, education, livelihoods and social justice. Over the years, he has traveled to the rural areas of several states and stayed in the villages to better understand the lives of the poor.

      Additionally, Somnath has coordinated campaigns against the victimization of human rights defenders bringing to light the brutalization of indigenous people of India.

      In the US, Somnath works with various AID chapters to build their capacity in coordinating grassroots projects, campaigns and fundraising efforts.

      Mt. Chocorua Writing Week: Writing the Counter-narrative July 9 – 13, 2012

      With recent global uprisings from Egypt to Wisconsin to Occupy and the increasing threats of environmental catastrophes, many of us turn to the written word as a way to explore the political urgencies of our times.

      Whether you have been writing for decades or have never written before, this is an opportunity to try your hand at poems and essays and stories. Our non-competitive and nurturing workshops are designed to inspire you and offer tools to move your writing to the next step.

      Each faculty member will give an evening reading from recent work, followed by a workshop the next morning that offers you a chance to try your wings in that genre of writing. Workshops are open to all World Fellowship guests. No special registration is necessary. Join us for one event or the entire week.

      Individual manuscript consultations can be arranged ahead of time with the writing faculty for a fee.

      Poetry Reading by Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie

      Tuesday, July 10, 10am

      The Write to Resist: Poetry workshop with Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie. In this writing workshop we will excavate and examine the things that separate us from our highest visions of who we are as individuals, a nation, and a global community. We will challenge ourselves to wrap our voices around the issues that are important to us while writing in ways that are personal and involve our own stories.

      Tuesday, July 10, 7:30pm

      Fiction reading by Ellen Meeropol

      Wednesday, July 11, 10am

      Fiction for Social Change: Workshop with Ellen Meeropol. Many of us read and write fiction as way to understand our world, to communicate our urgency about social justice, to work for social change. In this workshop we’ll work on transforming headlines into stories. We will talk about subverting the expected in developing characters and how to illuminate political issues in our work. Using prompts and exercises, we’ll write together to instruct and inspire ourselves.

      Wednesday, July 11, 7:30pm

      Nonfiction Reading by Bernice Mennis

      Thursday, July 12, 10am

      Essay Writing with Bernice Mennis. In this workshop we will explore the open and complex terrain of creative nonfiction, allowing ourselves to look closely, make connections, and follow threads of both mind and heart.

      Thursday, July 12, 7:30pm

      Everybody Say Freedom, a story of the civil rights era, performed by Bob Reiser

      Friday, July 13, 10am

      Telling it Like it Is, with Bob Reiser. A workshop that shows how to turn your life’s blunders and belly flops into stories that can open hearts and transform audiences. As my friend, Jay O’Callahan says, “If we go deep enough into a personal story, it becomes universal. We are all human. We grow, we have illusions, we dare, we get afraid, we love, we hate, we struggle and we grow.”

      Presenters

      Mariahadessa Ekere Tallie has taught writing and performed her poetry in North America, Europe, and Southern Africa. She received a 2010 Queens Council on the Arts grant for her research on herbalists of the African Diaspora. Her first collection of poetry, Karma’s Footsteps (Flipped Eye Publishing), was released in 2011. Her work is the subject of the short film “I Leave My Colors Everywhere.” “I see the pen as a tool of change and as medicine.” http://www.ekeretallie.com.

      Ellen Meeropol’s fiction explores characters at the intersection of political turmoil, ethical dilemma, and family life. Publishers Weekly gave her debut novel, House Arrest, a starred review, calling it “unflinching in taking on challenging subjects and deliberating uneasy ethical conundrums.” Ellen holds an MFA in fiction from the University of Southern Maine. Her short stories and essays have appeared in The Drum, Bridges, Portland Magazine, Pedestal Magazine, Rumpus, and Shaking Lit. She is a founding Board member of the Rosenberg Fund for Children and wrote their dramatic program, “Celebrate the Children of Resistance.” www.ellenmeeropol.com

       

      Bernice Mennis wrote Breaking Out of Prison: A guide to consciousness, compassion, and freedom as a way to explore writing as a path to awareness, not just for the men she taught in maximum security prisons, but for all of us constricted in so many ways. In The Tribe of Dina, she reflects on the intersection of religion and class. She is now gathering together fifty Letters to the Editor in a book titled Under 300 Words. Bernice loves the form of the essay because of its freedom, allowing her to wander, trespass, question, reflect, and come to deeper understanding of interconnections.

       

       

      Bob Reiser, teacher, author and storyteller, touches audiences from New York to Vancouver. His books include Carry it On, written with Pete Seeger, and David Gets his Drum, co-authored with jazz great, the late Panama Francis. His newest CD, ”Dangerous Stories,” features Red Diaper Blues and other tales to challenge, tickle and tantalize. Bob has appeared twice at the International Storytelling Center in Jonesborough Tennessee – In 2009 at the festival’s Exchange Place, and in 2010 as Teller in Residence. Bob’s new show, Everybody Say Freedom, brings to life some remarkable friends of his who gave their youth, sometimes their lives, to bring liberty and justice to us all and is performed in honor of Matt Jones, ”joyous agitator” (1935-2011). www.bobtales.com

      What makes this workshop special?

      In keeping with the World Fellowship motto – “where global justice meets nature” – the Mt. Chocorua Writing Workshop encourages the literary imagination that explores the conflicts of our world and illuminates injustice.

      Comments from previous summers’ participants:

      “Far exceeded my expectations! I feel so inspired…”

      ”I see the pen as a tool of change and as medicine.” In this writing workshop we will excavate and examine the things that separate us from our highest visions of who we are as individuals, a nation, and a global community. We will challenge ourselves to wrap our voices around the issues that are important to us while writing in ways that are personal and involve our own stories.

      Morning Program

      In this workshop, participants will explore the open and complex terrain of creative nonfiction. Bernice Mennis’ own essays move between memoir, reflections on interconnections between class, gender, and religion, nature writings, and political letters to the editor.

      Bernice loves the form of the essay because of its freedom, allowing her to wander, trespass, question, reflect, and come to deeper understanding of interconnections. She wrote “Breaking Out of Prison: A guide to consciousness, compassion, and freedom” as a way to explore writing as a path to awareness, not just for the men she taught in maximum security prisons, but for all of us constricted in so many ways. In “The Tribe of Dina,” she reflects on the intersection of religion and class. She is now gathering together fifty “Letters to the Editor” in a book “Under 300 Words.”

      Morning Program

      An experiential workshop in Communicating with Compassion (Nonviolent CommunicationSM ) offering:

      • A language and consciousness of compassion that can improve your relationships
      • Skills to support dialogue in the face of judgment, criticism, and anger
      • Effective ways to bring more ease, and connection and joy into your life
      • A nonviolent approach to social change 

      Nonviolent Communication (NVC) focuses our attention on empathic understanding of others without compromising our values, and expressing ourselves authentically without blame or judgment. We will explore 5 elements:

      • Our intention to connect with ourselves and others
      • What we observe or project about reality
      • How we feel in relation to what we observe
      • What needs and values that give rise to those feelings
      • What actions we request of ourselves and others in response to those needs

      In sum, shifting from blame to curiosity!

      This workshop is led by Jerry Koch-Gonzalez, long-time activist, organizational consultant and CNVC Certified Trainer. Jerry co-founded New England NVC and The Sociocratic Consulting Group, and has lived in the Pioneer Valley Cohousing Community in Amherst MA since it was built in 1994.

      An experiential workshop in decision-making where everyone’s voice matters. Consensus and consent are the two decision-making approaches most commonly used in the ecovillages/cohousing and Occupy movements. We’ll cover generating proposals, dealing with objections, selecting leadership, the roles of facilitator/participant/secretary, and evaluation/ feedback. We will also touch on the organizational structures that go along with formal consensus and the sociocracy/dynamic governance approach and the importance of a group’s clarity of purpose.

      Come explore how to be effective beyond the limitations of majority or minority rule!

      Note: Directly following this weekend there will be a two-day institute focused on sociocracy. Plan to stay with us!

      Sociocracy/Dynamic Self-Governance – Day 1 of 2

      Special Fee Program

      Sociocracy, aka Dynamic Self-Governance, is an effective, efficient and transparent participatory decision making process based on equivalence of power of all participants regardless of their position in an organization. Sociocracy brings consensus to scale and is more inclusive than majority rule democracy. Sociocracy also offers an organizational structure that can transform traditional frameworks of ownership, compensation and leadership selection. Sociocracy can be implemented in all kinds and sizes of organizations – traditional businesses, cooperatives and social change. Sociocracy aims to hold both the “I” and the “We” and end dynamics of power under and power over. A participatory workshop! Live the revolution now. Come experience it for yourself!

      The presenter of this workshop, Jerry Koch-Gonzalez, is a long time activist and independent consultant. Jerry’s passion is to share egalitarian practices such as sociocracy, nonviolent communication (NVC) and Restorative Circles. Jerry lives with his family in the Pioneer Valley Cohousing Community.

      Sociocracy/Dynamic Self-Governance – Day 2 of 2
      10:00 am – 12:00 pm
      Read more »
      Special Fee Program

      Sociocracy, aka Dynamic Self-Governance, is an effective, efficient and transparent participatory decision making process based on equivalence of power of all participants regardless of their position in an organization. Sociocracy brings consensus to scale and is more inclusive than majority rule democracy. Sociocracy also offers an organizational structure that can transform traditional frameworks of ownership, compensation and leadership selection. Sociocracy can be implemented in all kinds and sizes of organizations – traditional businesses, cooperatives and social change. Sociocracy aims to hold both the “I” and the “We” and end dynamics of power under and power over. A participatory workshop! Live the revolution now. Come experience it for yourself!

      The presenter of this workshop, Jerry Koch-Gonzalez, is a long time activist and independent consultant. Jerry’s passion is to share egalitarian practices such as sociocracy, nonviolent communication (NVC) and Restorative Circles. Jerry lives with his family in the Pioneer Valley Cohousing Community.

      Arts

      Bring out your inner artist, even if you don’t think you have one! Low-skill multi-modal arts that deepen our connection with our inner knowing. Led by sisters Clara Kramer-Wheeler and Emma Potik. Offered daily from July 22-28. Time subject to change.

      Emma Potik lives in Albany, NY, and is finishing her training at New York Expressive Arts as an Expressive Arts Facilitator. She is also the art teacher at Troy Jewish Community Religious School. Her favorite things about Expressive Arts are its embrace of deep non-judgementalism and its uncanny ability to take us where we didn’t know we needed to go.

      Clara Kramer-Wheeler has been enjoying the inner discoveries and spontaneous creativity that have come about from her studies of healing arts modalities over the last fifteen years. Clara works with young children who help her to stay connected to art (and life) as a playful and spontaneous experience.

      Morning Program

      In the early 1970s, Hip Hop began as a form of urban expression among the African-American communities in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens boroughs of New York City. It soon hit the mainstream and became a celebrated world-wide culture. Through this process, young and old people alike have often been exposed to something other than what the founders describe as the true hip hop. Through the mediums of emceeing, breakdancing, graffiti and deejay-ing, the morning program will explore this cultural phenomena’s history and shed light on what has happened to Hip Hop since its birth. We will go into details of creative writing and performance as it relates to hip hop rap music, poetry and culture. This will also encourage participants to think critically about the direction popular culture, politics, and the world are headed. Our afternoon workshop will explore the history and basics of Hip Hop through creating raps and spoken word pieces to perform for a World Fellowship audience that evening.

The presentation will focus on the occupy movement and intersectionality. First, the intersectionality of race, class, gender, and sexual orientation in American society will be examined. Emancipation demands that oppression be abolished on all fronts. Secondly, this will be tied in to an analysis of the Occupy Movement. This movement has made the discussion of class possible in ways that it was not possible before. The success of this movement will depend on its broader vision for the emancipation of all people.

The Amadors serve up a delicious and constantly changing Latin musical feast, from tender ballads to driving dance tunes, featuring guitarist/composer Brian Amador’s original compositions in richly diverse Latin rhythms from Puerto Rico and Cuba to Peru and Argentina, along with fresh arrangements of popular Latin tunes. Their lyrics address social and political concerns alongside matters of the heart. The Amadors met on a cultural exchange tour to Nicaragua in 1984 and were founding members of the Nueva Cancíon ensemble, ”Flor de Caña” (1984-1994).

      “Brian Amador is a Spanish modernist poet in the guise of a musician…Together, Rosi and Brian Amador create a musical marriage made in heaven.” – Norman Weinstein, Christian Science Monitor

      Ecoterrorism: The New Anti-Communism?
      7:30 pm – 9:00 pm
      Read more »
      Evening Program

      This program will examine the anticommunist hysteria of the 20th century and how the contemporary treatment of environmental and animal rights activists today as “eco-terrorists” echoes this phenomena.

      Robert Meeropol is the younger son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. In 1953, when he was six years old, the United States Government executed his parents for “conspiring to steal the secret of the atomic bomb.” In 1990, after leaving private law practice, Robert founded the Rosenberg Fund for Children and now serves as its Executive Director.

      The RFC provides for the educational and emotional needs of both targeted activist youth and children in this country whose parents have been harassed, injured, jailed, lost jobs or died in the course of their progressive activities. In its two decades, the Fund has awarded $4.5 million in grants to benefit hundreds of children.

      Robert’s memoir, AN EXECUTION IN THE FAMILY, was published by St. Martin’s Press on the 50th anniversary of his parents’ executions in 2003. The book details his odyssey from Rosenberg son to political activist and leader of the Rosenberg Fund for Children.

      Find out more about the Rosenberg Fund for Children by visiting their website.

      Will Potter is an award-winning independent journalist based in Washington, D.C., who focuses on “eco-terrorism,” the animal rights and environmental movements, and civil liberties post-9/11. His work has appeared in publications including the Chicago Tribune, the Huffington Post, and the Vermont Law Review, and he has testified before the U.S. Congress about his reporting.

      Will frequently lectures about efforts to roll back civil liberties in the name of fighting terrorism. Speaking engagements have included the New York City Bar Association, Yale Law School, and the House of Democracy and Human Rights in Berlin. Media appearances have included the Los Angeles Times, Mother Jones, and Democracy Now.

      His book, Green Is The New Red: An Insider’s Account of a Social Movement Under Siege was recently published by City Lights Books. It has been featured by NPR, The Rumpus, and Publisher’s Weekly. Kirkus Book Reviews awarded it a Kirkus Star for “remarkable merit” and named it one of the best books of 2011.

      Over the last six years, Jenny Synan has dedicated much of her time to support her husband Daniel McGowan, a social justice and environmental activist and federal prisoner. Jenny has been part of a campaign to promote awareness of Daniel’s and other incarcerated activists’ cases. She has visited Daniel where he is currently incarcerated, in the Communications Management Unit (CMU – prison units secretly created in 2006 to house “terrorists.”) in Terre Haute, Indiana. Their communication is very limited and all visits take place behind glass. Jenny and Daniel are plaintiffs in a lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of these units.

      Jenny also works in technology at a creative non-profit organization in NYC. You can see her and Daniel in the Oscar-nominated documentary that will be shown the same evening – If a Tree Falls: A Story of the Earth Liberation Front.

      “Mic check!” OCCUPY OBAMA will be two group sessions focused on our opinions of the Obama administration – one on domestic policy, one on foreign policy. Ideally, you will come to a session with a 1-3 minute song, poem, essay, play, monologue, game, or other interactive piece focusing on one specific issue that concerns you deeply (but it’s not required.) Your audience? The President, the First Lady and a Cabinet member of your choosing. No topic or perspective is off limits, but in your presentation you should make a case for your position and educate the President as to how he can “make it happen.” If there is enough time, we will also work on a presentation as a group.

      Chris Owens is a political activist, an administrator at a public interest law firm, and a musical person.

      Occupy Boston Public Schools

      Evening Program

      Whose voice matters most in current policy debates over school reform? Bill Gates? Elected officials? Paid experts? Local media? Corporate America?

      Boston’s communities-of-color have been fighting for access, equity and a meaningful voice in their children’s education since the first school desegregation case in 1849. Today, the stakes are higher than ever, yet those with the most at stake in our public schools have the least say-so in the policy-making process. Facing another round of austerity cuts, the voices of stakeholders is more critical than ever. Indeed, there’s a growing sense that this might be the perfect time to move the Occupy Movement out of the financial district and into the ‘hood to liberate our public schools.

      Ty dePass is a longtime grassroots activist, education policy analyst and outspoken advocate for Boston’s students, their parents, teachers, and communities.

      Film: Salt of the Earth
      7:00 pm – 9:30 pm
      Read more »
      Evening Program

      Come and see Salt of the Earth (1954), which film critic Pauline Kael called “as clear a piece of Communist propaganda as we have seen in many years.” Blacklisted by the FBI and HUAC, the film was later chosen for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.”

      Salt of the Earth dramatizes the true story of a strike by the predominantly Chicano zinc miners of southwest New Mexico. Now almost 60 years old, Salt of the Earth feels surprisingly contemporary in addressing issues of racial, economic and sexual equality.

      The story of the making of Salt of the Earth is as compelling as the movie itself. After the screening, former film editor Nina Kleinberg relates the struggles of the film makers to produce and distribute the film and the efforts of the government and the Hollywood establishment to suppress it.

      What Just Happened? [...and what might happen next]: Examining the Components of Modern Social Justice Movements
      7:30 pm – 9:00 pm

      Evening Program

      A participatory workshop and dynamic multimedia presentation examining the tools and historical and contemporary contexts for the Occupy movement and other recent global uprisings, in order to determine for ourselves what the future may bring.

      Using photos, video, archives, personal stories and interactive activities, we will get a glimpse of just how hard it is to change the world and why it’s still worth all of the hard work, no matter what obstacles may arise.

      We will also work together to understand the interconnectedness of seemingly disparate struggles by tracing the roots of what keeps down our world’s most oppressed communities and what inspired millions to rise up across the globe.

      Robert Pluma has been organizing within OWS through the Facilitation, Brooklyn General Assembly, All City Gathering and Mayday working groups.

      Evening Program

      Denise Altvater and Esther Attean will share their work around creating the Maine Wabanaki Child Welfare Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC), the first in the US addressing native child welfare issues, and the first ever to be developed between a state government and Indian nations. Representatives of the TRC have been collaborating together for more than a decade.

      The TRC comprises three key purposes: 1) to create a common understanding between the Wabanaki and the State of Maine concerning what happened and is happening to Wabanaki children in the child welfare system; 2) to act on the information revealed during the TRC to implement systems change to improve the system and to better support the children and families served; and 3) to promote healing both among Wabanaki children and their families and the people who administered a widely acknowledged less than ideal system.

      This is a human process of decolonization of the hearts and minds; it is about genuine peace, love and forgiveness.

      Occupy Wall Street: Racial Justice and Uniting the 99%
      10:00 am – 12:00 pm

      Morning Program

      OWS changed the conversation in US politics by introducing the struggle of the 99% v. the 1%. While opening a discussion on economic inequality, OWS also embodied the divisions within the 99%. Unity is no easy task, say Paul and Sally, based on their intense involvement with OWS since the eviction from Zuccotti Park. Organizing with a racial justice framework is key.

      Social movement activists since the 1960s, Sally and Paul Bermanzohn are survivors of the 1979 Greensboro Massacre. Now retired (Paul from psychiatry and Sally from the university), they are thrilled to once again be full-time activists.
