SUMMARY:Youth Justice Visioning Session
DESCRIPTION:The Houston community is greatly impacted by youth incarceration\, as Harris County commits the highest number of youth to Texas’ state secure youth lockups. Additionally\, local Harris County officials plan to build a new juvenile detention center at an estimated cost of $65-70 million. Kids do not belong in prisons\, and the voices of Houston residents- particularly those most affected by youth incarceration- must be heard if a youth justice transformation is to take hold and be successful in Texas. Join us for a visioning session to answer this question: What do young people need to avoid justice involvement and lead successful lives?

SUMMARY:Demonstration against the Houston Child Detention Center
DESCRIPTION:Widespread\, intense opposition to the separation of migrant families has led Trump to issue an executive order supposedly ending this practice. But this nightmare is far from over. About 2000 children remain separated from their moms and dads. Trump’s “zero-tolerance” policy of prosecuting migrants may mean more family separations or the long-term detention of entire families. The administration is talking about new detention centers for scores of thousands of migrants. And in Houston\, plans for a new child detention center at 419 Emancipation Avenue are going forward. \nThe new Free Los Niños Coalition and the people of Greater Houston are not going to let this building become a prison for children or families. We are committed to stopping not only family separations but also raids\, detentions\, and the criminalization of people who are only seeking a better life. We understand that Trump’s attacks on migrants are part of a broader assault on people of color\, women\, LGBT communities\, workers\, and the limited rights we now have. And we are determined to defeat this dangerous repression\, drive the Trump administration from power\, and open the door to a brighter future with dignity and justice for all people. \nThe Free Los Niños Coalition and its member organizations invite you to participate in another demonstration against the Houston child detention center at 419 Emancipation Avenue on Thursday\, July 5\, at 6 pm. This action will include lots of chanting\, remarks from sponsoring groups\, a march through the neighborhood\, some wonderful entertainment\, and—time permitting—an open mic. Please join us and help prevent the detention of migrants on a street which was recently renamed to honor the emancipation of African Americans from slavery. \nCoalition members include Brown Berets de Houston\, Familias Inmigrantes y Estudiantes en La Lucha (FIEL)\, Fight for Im/migrants and Refugees Everywhere (FIRE)\, Harris County Green Party\, Houston Democratic Socialists of America\, Houston Socialist Movement\, Refuse Fascism\, Service Employees International Union Texas (SEIU Texas)\, and Texas Environmental Justice Advocacy Services (TEJAS). Additional sponsors are welcome. For more information\, call 281.935.1719 or 832.692.2306.

SUMMARY:Progressive Movie Night: "The Battle of Algiers"
DESCRIPTION:Join the Houston Communist Party for our monthly Progressive Movie Night! \n“The Battle of Algiers” is a 1966 Italian-Algerian historical war film co-written and directed by Gillo Pontecorvo and starring Jean Martin and Saadi Yacef. It is based on events during the Algerian War (1954–62) against the French government in North Africa; the most prominent being the titular Battle of Algiers\, the capital of Algeria. It was shot on location and the film’s score was composed by Ennio Morricone. The film\, which was shot in a Roberto Rossellini-inspired newsreel style—in black and white with documentary-type editing—is often associated with Italian neorealism cinema. \nThe film has been critically celebrated and often taken\, by insurgent groups and states alike\, as an important commentary on urban guerrilla warfare. It occupies the 48th place on the Critics’ Top 250 Films of the 2012 Sight & Sound poll as well as 120th place on Empire magazine’s list of the 500 greatest movies of all time. \nAlgeria gained independence from the French\, a matter which Pontecorvo portrays in the film’s epilogue. The film concentrates on the years between 1954 and 1957 when the guerrilla fighters regrouped and expanded into the Casbah\, the citadel of Algiers\, which was met by French paratroopers attempting to regain territory. The highly dramatic film is about the organization of a guerrilla movement and the illegal methods used by the colonial power to contain it. \nA subject of socio-political controversy\, the film was not screened for five years in France\, where it was later released in 1971. We have plenty of free parking\, free popcorn\, beer\, and a children’s play area. See you there!

SUMMARY:Going Green for Home Building/Remodeling Projects
DESCRIPTION:You are invited to an online talk on Sunday\, June 17 at 6 p.m. by Caroline Kostak of the U.S\, Green Building Council on Going Green for Home Building/Remodeling Projects. \nChrist the King Evangelical Lutheran Church invites you to a monthly environmental education web meeting series whose theme in 2018 is Stewardship. \nCaroline Kostak\, Secretary\, Texas Gulf Coast Region\, U.S. Green Building Council \nGoing Green for Home Building/Remodeling Projects \nSunday\, June 17\, at 6 p.m. \nThe amount of resources borrowed from our Earth to create the buildings in which we spend 93% of our lives is staggering. If we look at just the residential building industry\, we see that we are building homes with a life span of 40-100 years\, with the interior materials having an even shorter lifespan. \nThrough this discussion\, Caroline Kostak\, secretary of the Texas Gulf Coast Region chapter of the U.S. Green Building Council\, will look at how we can meet the need to shelter and provide work space for a growing population while also being respectful of the resources given to us on Earth.   We will explore different strategies that can lead to efficient resource management and produce beautiful\, healthy\, and efficient buildings that celebrate the gifts and abundance of the Earth while also protecting them. \nCaroline draws from her experience as a NASA Flight Controller\, constructing one of the highest performance structures ever built – the International Space Station – and many conversations with space travelers who have seen first-hand the fragility and beauty of our Earth from a distinct vantage point.  Her work with space construction has led directly to her working in construction on Earth\, as this broadened perspective helped her see the importance of being a good steward of the precious Earth we’ve been asked to care for. \nAfter Caroline’s talk\, there will be time for Q&A.  Please register for this talk; \nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/going-green-for-home-buildingremodeling-projects-tickets-45446415452 \nand you will receive an invitation to the web meeting.  Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions.
