Slight modification to my earlier e-mail re Public Meeting on N. Euclid Neighborway
by janet jai 24 Jun '20

24 Jun '20

This was a kind of sham public meeting. They did not address any of the questions I had submitted in advance except two I managed to type in quickly during the meeting re fire engines and ADA compliance. There was no way to give them feedback on their responses. They really did not want to hear from people who disagreed with their project. The meeting Chat Box was filled with remarks by the same people who kept thanking them repeatedly for the wonderful job they were doing and saying how great their plans are. Most of these sounded so rehearsed. janet jai, MLA

Masks are mandatory
by Joanne 24 Jun '20

24 Jun '20

Masks are mandatory in businesses. From the PA Dept of Community and Economic Development: Masks Are Mandatory Wearing a mask is an important part of keeping COVID-19 from spreading. Everyone must wear a mask. That includes workers and customers. Remember, my mask protects you and your mask protects me. No mask, no shirt, no shoes, no service. If a worker or customer attempts to enter your business without a mask on, ask them to leave and return when they have a mask. A fabric mask is fine if they aren’t a medical worker or first responder. Find PPE to protect your workers. Masks and other PPE can be hard to find given the high demand. But we’ve got you covered. Check out our online directory of PPE manufacturers and suppliers in Pennsylvania. Have good mask hygiene. Don’t touch the front of your mask. Make sure it covers both your nose and mouth. Don’t lift it up when talking to someone. Remember, the virus travels in the droplets we breath out when talking or laughing, not just when we cough or sneeze. If wearing a fabric mask, make sure you wash it and let it fully dry between uses. "Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see." — Mark Twain

Racial Equity Caucus/Study Group for K-12 Educators and Admin
by THOMAS WATERS 24 Jun '20

24 Jun '20

I received an email about this today, and it may be of interest to some on this list: Growing White Teacher Advocates starts on Tuesday - Register Here <https://www.chatham.edu/events/details.cfm?eventID=27937> (informal or after school educators also welcome!) This study group for K-12 in-service educators and administrators is intended as a white racial caucus group. White educators will meet four times as they read, discuss and embody Leah Penniman's book "Farming While Black." White caucus groups are spaces where white individuals can process their own racial identities and learn tools for school-based racial justice advocacy in a space that doesn't place additional burden or trauma on black, indigenous or other people of color. As we discuss the book and what it means for white educator teaching practices, we will work on the farm at Chatham's Eden Hall Campus to help build new garden beds in the Elsalma field. This "work and talk" space will allow educators to be in a mindful, meditative, body-centric space as we dig deep into racial justice topics and their connection to sustainability and food systems. Social distancing and tool sanitation practices will be followed for the in-person farm work. Learning Objectives (Educators will be able to…): * Define racism and white supremacy through systemic (vs. individual) lenses * Explain the history and current state of racism in the food system and society at large * Plan personal action steps to integrate positive white teacher-advocate practices into teaching and daily life * Explain why it is important for a white educator with predominantly white students to talk about race in the classroom * Recognize and explain race dialogue facilitation practices in action * Construct regenerative, biointensive garden beds and learn a selection of best practices for agroecology. Dates and Times: Tuesday, June 30th - 9am - 12pm Tuesday, July 7th - 9am - 12pm Thursday, July 9th - 9am - 12pm Tuesday, July 14th - 9am - 12pm Facilitators: Kelly Henderson, Eden Hall K-12 Education Manager; Madeline Hennessey, Chatham Bachelor of Sustainability student and trained Intergroup Dialogue Facilitator; Chris Murakami, Assistant Professor of Agroecology and Food Studies. Cost: $200* (does not include book) *During the last session, participants will decide which local black-owned/led business or organization to donate their full program fees to. Chatham will not keep any of these program fees. -- Thomas Waters thomaswaters(a)mac.com "When evil men plot, good men must plan. When evil men burn and bomb, good men must build and bind. When evil men shout ugly words of hatred, good men must commit themselves to the glories of love." Martin Luther King Jr.
