SUMMARY:Escalting Resistance: Mass Rebellion Training
DESCRIPTION:Extinction Rebellion Houston is hosting a nonviolence workshop with longtime nonviolence trainer and activist Lisa Fithian. \nLisa will be offering a three hour training to hone our strategies and tactics to impact power holders and create social disruption at increasingly larger scales. This organizing requires attention to how we build collective power that heals and liberates us from our socialization in the dominant culture of superiority – white\, male\, rich and Christian. \nIn addition to this exploration of power and healing we will look at: power mapping of people\, economic centers\, and geographies to increase impact within strategic terrains\, creating calendars of engagement\, organizing our people\, increasing our capacity to take risks\, developing solidarity response networks and how artful “props” can bolster our uprisings.. \nWe cannot just tear it all down without replacing systems of oppression with systems of liberation. This is our challenge: organizing courageous\, joyful and bold rebellions rooted in solidarity\, with a beautiful\, loving insistence that another world is possible and we are creating her every day.

SUMMARY:Julia Reichert: 50 Years in Film: Growing Up Female
DESCRIPTION:Controversial upon its release\, the first feature-length film of the modern women’s movement looks at female socialization through a peek into the lives of six women\, ages 4 to 35\, and the forces that shape them: teachers\, counselors\, advertising\, music\, and marriage. The film was widely used by consciousness-raising groups to generate interest and help explain feminism to a skeptical society. Viewers now have a chance to see how much has changed and how much remains the same. \nFollowed by Union Maids (directed by Julia Reichert\, Jim Klein\, and Miles Mogulescu\, USA\, 1976\, 48 min.) The fight to form industrial unions in the first half of the 20th century through is covered in the stories of three women who leave rural farms for job opportunities in Chicago. The women recount their experiences of working 14 hours a day in factories where management had all the power while workers—especially women and minorities—had none. \nDigital preservation and the restored 16mm prints made possible by The Women’s Film Preservation Fund of New York Women in Film & Television.

SUMMARY:Refuse Fascism Mass Meeting-#OutNow Movement

We will not be silenced. We will not live in shame or acquiesce to Fascism’s unfolding. Fascism is unfolding at an alarming rate.

SUMMARY:TAKE A “TOXIC TOUR” OF HOUSTON WITH ROTHKO CHAPEL AND TEXAS ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE ADVOCACY SERVICES
DESCRIPTION:Participants will visit East End sites on February 8 \n  \n  \nHouston\, TX (December 19\, 2019) Rothko Chapel in collaboration with Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services (t.e.j.a.s.) will host a bus tour of toxic sites in and around the greater Houston community on Saturday\, February 8\, 2020 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.  The tour will be led by Juan Parras and Yvette Arellano of t.e.j.a.s. and will explore the East End of Houston\, a neighborhood which borders Houston’s Ship Channel and is comprised of mostly Latino residents.  This frontline community is situated next to some of the largest refineries and chemical plants in the city.  Air pollution from nearby plastics-producing plants floats over schools\, offices\, and\, homes.  The goal of the tour is to show participants the structural reality of these massive industrial complexes and to offer a first-hand understanding of environmental justice issues the community faces. \n  \nParticipants will meet at 1415 Sul Ross (Chapel Annex) at 9:15 a.m. to enjoy a light breakfast and to board the bus. The bus is equipped with restrooms and WIFI. Bring your own lunch to eat on the bus. Please note that the bus will stop and explore some areas on foot. Therefore\, participants are encouraged to wear comfortable attire and closed toe shoes for walking on uneven and muddy terrain.  Tickets are $20 per person to offset transportation costs incurred by the Rothko Chapel and space is limited. Registration is required through rothkochapel.org. \n  \nThis program is presented as part of the Rothko Chapel’s two-year programmatic initiative exploring climate change’s impact on individuals around the world\, culminating with the biennial Rothko Chapel Óscar Romero Award for Human Rights in 2020. \n  \nTour Guides \nJuan Parras\, Founder/Executive Director\, Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services (t.e.j.a.s).  Juan has been organizing community voices for years beginning as a social worker with the Harris County Welfare Office\, and later with City of Houston Section 8 Housing Department. Juan’s resolve for equity\, justice and community resilience is the driving force behind t.e.j.a.s. with more than 40 years of organizing and work from social services to labor\, to environmental justice\, Parras can attest to the empowering force behind marrying issues of intersectionality in environmental work for marginalized communities. \n  \nYvette Arellano serves as a policy research and grassroots advocate with t.e.j.a.s. In 2015\, they led the campaign against H.R. 702\, which opened the floodgates to U.S. crude oil exports. Yvette represented the Gulf South at COP25. She was instrumental in the publication Double Jeopardy in Houston\, Air Toxics and Health in the Houston Community of Manchester and most recently Plastic and Health: The Hidden Cost of a Plastic Planet. They strive to emphasize that the Rights of Nature are fundamental to overall existence. Currently\, Yvette is leading efforts in Houston to help stop petrochemical expansion fueled by plastic production. \n  \nAbout Rothko Chapel \nThe Rothko Chapel is closed through June 2020 for major renovations.  As part of its Opening Spaces campaign\, the first phase of the project will realize a Welcome House and a new energy center; enhancements to the lighting and entryway in the Chapel; and new greenspaces for reflection will be added to the existing grounds. This event is one in a series of offsite programs presented by Chapel during the renovation.  For more visit: http://www.rothkochapel.org/experience/events/ \n  \n### \n  \n

SUMMARY:Transition Houston Meeting: Combat Climate Change with Extinction Rebellion!
DESCRIPTION:We hope you’ll join Transition Houston for our first meeting of 2020 as we Combat Climate Change with Extinction Rebellion!\nSocializing starts at 6:30pm and the meeting begins at 7:00pm at the Haven’s Center\, 1827 W Alabama St\, Houston\, TX 77098.  \nTHE TRUTH\nWe are facing an unprecedented global emergency. Life on Earth is in crisis: scientists agree we have entered a period of abrupt climate breakdown\, and we are in the midst of a mass extinction of our own making. \nACT NOW\nWe are unprepared for the danger our future holds. We face floods\, wildfires\, extreme weather\, crop failure\, mass displacement and the breakdown of society. The time for denial is over. It is time to act. \nConventional approaches of voting\, lobbying\, petitions and protest have failed because powerful political and economic interests prevent change. Our strategy is therefore one of non-violent\, disruptive civil disobedience – a rebellion. \nHistorical evidence shows that we need the involvement of 3.5% of the population to succeed – in the UK that’s about 2 million people. \nJOIN US\nWe need you – whoever you are\, however much time you have – to help build a powerful movement. Our vision of change involves mass participation. Together we’re unstoppable. \n\nAbout Our Speaker\nBrent Sullivan has lived his life in Houston\, first becoming active on environmental causes via Occupy and the Tar Sands Blockade actions against the Keystone pipeline in the woods of Nacodoches. \nMore recently\, he served on the planning committee for the People’s Climate March and started “Tuesdays at Cornyn’s” which has met with his staffers and rallied on the sidewalk every Tuesday for over 150 weeks. \nIn September\, along with 18 others\, Brent started forming Extinction Rebellion Houston\, a group dedicated to driving its 4 demands into public debate and into policy through direct action. “Heading for Extinction–and what to do about it” lays bare the scope and scale of the emergency we face and makes both a moral and practical case for direct action. \nMost of Brent’s family is in the oil business\, so he views Extinction Rebellion’s 4th Demand for a Just Transition as foundational to the entire effort. Please join us!

SUMMARY:Film showing - Abby Martin's Gaza Fight for Freedom
DESCRIPTION:The documentary was made during\, and depicts\, the Great March of Return protests\, whose images Palestinians of slain medics\, journalists\, women\, children\, and disabled people resounded throughout the world in 2018. The Trump administration’s deepened support for the most extreme Israeli positions is also displayed in the film\, with clips of Trump’s moving of the U.S. embassy in Israel to Jerusalem and preparation for the “Deal of the Century.” \nThe government of Israel tightly restricts the presence of journalists in the Gaza. In order to work around these restrictions\, The Empire Files team collaborated with Palestinian videographers from Gaza. \nGaza is  the 25-mile long\, seven-mile wide strip of occupied and blockaded land that the World Health Organization has said will be unfit for human occupation by 2020. The description of Gaza as an “open-air prison” is commonly used these days\, but Gaza Fights for Freedom gives a visceral and painful view of this descriptor. Narrated by Martin\, the camera winds us through the streets of Gaza\, through the rubble of past Israeli aerial assaults–2008\, 2012\, 2014\, and intermittent years.  The attack in 2014 alone destroyed nearly 20\,000 homes. Gaza is unable to recover from this destruction\, rebuild or remove the debris due to the blockade. The film takes us through densely populated cities\, where families have no choice but to drink water unsafe for consumption. \nThe height of the Great March Of Return protests\, it features exclusive footage of demonstrations where 200 unarmed civilians have been killed by Israeli snipers since March 30\, 2018.
