Dear Friends and Colleagues,

Let's be clear - in order to provide a means to maximize the promotion, outreach and relations, within the areas of our primary purpose, LEAD must engage in capital campaigns to raise significant dollars. We rely almost completely on the generosity of donors and sponsors that share our vision to make possible our innovative and productive programs, publications and events in Latinos and Education.  

It's that time of year again where we ramp up the planning of our annual Latino Education & Advocacy Days, and the purpose of this announcement is to garner support from you as an individual, as well as your institution, business, agency and group to be part of an event like no other.  

Your consideration for sponsoring LEAD will enable my team and I to continue the great work in accomplishing two main objectives:

     1) to promote a broad-based awareness of the crisis in Latino Education, and

     2) to enhance the intellectual, cultural and personal development of our community's educators, administrators, leaders, parents and students.

We are happy to report that LEAD 2016 reached more than 206 million people: viewers and listeners thanks to our public and commercial television/radio partners, print/digital readers and social media impressions, webcast to 1600 of our viewing partners across nearly 40 countries, and averaging yearly more than 1,300 on-site attendees.

Something different for 2017 - this time with your sponsorship, you will be supporting ALL our activities for LEAD Week, and will receive the appropriate branding and marketing recognition, multiple and repeated times, with each and every event throughout the week (via logo placement/acknowledgement on web sites, printed programs and brochures, email/social media blasts, slide shows/event scripts, and webcast/media coverage). 

Every gift, large or small, makes a difference. Whether you are a first time donor/sponsor or a long time contributor, we appreciate your thoughtful generosity. Please contact me at emurillo@csusb.edu for details on how to sponsor via check, online payment, or by phone.

Special Message From AERA President and Executive Director—on Overcoming Hate and Hostility

AERA President and Executive Director reply@aeramail.org via utexas.onmicrosoft.com	Nov 16 (1 day ago)
to urrieta

November 16, 2016


Dear AERA Members,

Since the election, and during the months leading up to it, a series of disturbing events have divided, or from the perspective of some, further divided the nation. Like many in the education research community, we have been appalled at the lack of humanity, the intimidation, and the intolerance for diversity represented by these events. We have been especially concerned with what our children and what our students have learned during this time and the ways that anger and hate have overridden our sensibilities around respect for others and social justice. The hostility since the election has been even more appalling, as violent threats, hate speech, and verbal attacks have nurtured fear.

While the intensity of the hostility has increased, the rise of these problems has been evident, growing in number and severity over the past few years, from Charleston to Orlando. In response to these incidents, AERA has taken a public stand. We continue to take a stand against the violence, violent threats, and any act that is intended to restrict opportunity in whatever form, threaten the well-being of our students, or victimize those who contribute to our society, including girls and women; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer students and adults; Muslims; immigrant families; and undocumented children and adults, to name a few.

AERA will continue planning and implementing efforts to address the issues, not simply the ones that emerged during and resulting from the election but also the ongoing vulnerabilities and hardships that affect countless children, youth, and adults. We all share in AERA’s mission to use research to promote change and embrace our professional and human commitment to promote respect and safety for all children and families, many of whom have been marginalized and are among those whom we teach and study.

Between now and the annual meeting in April, AERA will be holding six lectures on critical research issues, many of which are underscored in recent events. In addition, we will hold one or two webinars prior to the annual meeting as well as an event during the annual meeting focused specifically on topics related to racial conciliation and the role of schooling and education, gender equity, or other relevant themes.

We urge the education research community to keep heart, to take on the challenges ahead, and to be mindful of our larger purpose as scholars—and in so doing to demonstrate our commitment to intellectual engagement, to civic responsibility, to democratic principles, and ultimately to social justice.

Our very best to all of you,

[Hle] What is a sanctuary center of higher education?

SIGN and FORWARD

http://www.ipetitions.com/petition/letter-of-petition-requesting-protections-for-csu

Good morning LEAD NetRoots members and colleagues,

Some people had asked for a better definition on what is a sanctuary center of higher education?

First, the campus must pledge to remain an open educational community for all, particularly those who have been targeted in recent months.

A sanctuary center of higher education is a place that values and protects all members of the community. It is based on the moral and ethical responsibility of colleges and universities that grows from their special role in society as places of free inquiry and education. 

It is designed to counter the fear that impedes our mission. It puts the institution on record as pledging it will do what it can to protect vulnerable populations in the event that forces move against them unfairly or immorally. It means the we pledge to refuse to cooperate with immoral laws, executive orders, police demands, or judicial decisions that target these members of our community. It means we refuse to report the names or other information about our students, to turn them over to authorities, or to otherwise aid in their persecution.

In terms of an actual proposal or plan, some steps may be:

a) Prohibit access to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents on campus.

b) Deny ICE access to student, staff, and faculty data.

c) Provide relevant training for all faculty, staff, and students.

d) Ensure all students, faculty, and staff are treated equitably.

e) Develop a plan to provide assistance, information, and safety for students and families.

f) Shelter targeted students, staff, and faculty, along with their families.

If you haven't yet, please consider signing, helping make our college campuses safer environments for diverse communities, and support protections against the persecution and bigotry toward Muslims, LGBTQIA people, African Americans, Native Americans, Asian Americans, Mexicans and Latinos, immigrants, women, sexual assault victims, and disabled populations, and will not participate in any attempt to deny our students their right to an education in a dignified future.

Trump and Our Students

DONATE | LATEST ISSUE | CATALOG

Photo: Loire Shaoul       Dear Rethinking Schools friends, And so it begins. At a high school in rural Oregon, south of Portland, 30 to 40 white students celebrated Trump this week in front of a Confederate flag and taunted Latina/o students: “Pack your bags, you’re leaving tomorrow,” and “Tell your family goodbye.” Graffiti found in a Minnesota high school bathroom read,"#Gobacktoafrica Make America GReat again." The Southern Poverty Law Centerreports over 200 incidents of racist, sexist, and homophobic harassment and intimidation. These are harbingers of the dangerous new era launched by the election of Donald Trump. And they underscore the importance of the work we have ahead. But racist and xenophobic celebrations were not the only response to Trump’s election. In San Francisco, more than a thousand students walked out of class to join protest marches. As one student said, “We’re trying to inform people about white supremacy, racism, homophobia, everything.” And in the New York City high school where Rethinking Schools editor Adam Sanchez teaches, the art club hosted a “No Allegiance to White Supremacy” t-shirt-making gathering, while the Feminism and Black Lives Matter clubs held a joint emergency meeting to discuss the election. These responses are also harbingers: anticipating our schools and classrooms as sites of resistance to everything that Trump stands for. As in San Francisco, students in New York later took to the streets—marching more than 40 blocks from Union Square to Trump Tower. As did students at that Minnesota high school and throughout the country, from Los Angeles to Phoenix, Boulder to Des Moines. Trump’s election is the single worst political event in our lives. And it’s right to mourn. But a Trump administration is also a call to action. For now, we need to listen to our students and create a space where they can talk, ask questions, and analyze what has happened. We can tell students that we will do whatever we can to make our schools—and our world—safe for them and their families. Part of that involves what we say and do in our classrooms and our schools, including how we work with students doing the taunting and writing the racist graffiti. And part involves the work we do within our unions and community groups, and the alliances we build with other justice-oriented organizations. We will redouble our efforts to provide the teaching resources that help our students make sense of what is happening in our society, and how we got here. We have resources at Rethinking Schools and the Zinn Education Project that look at other times when racial progress was rolled back by white supremacy. But social movements have made important progress during times that seemed hopeless, and we also have teaching materials that explore these. There will be lots more to say—and lots more to do. For now, we simply want to thank you for the work you do that is more essentialthan ever and to assure you that we are in this together. With love and hope, Rethinking Schools editors and staff
