The day after the Sandy Hook tragedy\, Shannon started a Facebook group with the message that all Americans can and should do more to reduce gun violence. The online conversation turned into a grassroots movement of Americans fighting for public safety measures that protect people from gun violence. Moms Demand Action has established a chapter in every state of the country and is part of Everytown for Gun Safety\, the largest gun violence prevention organization in the country\, with nearly 6 million supporters. In addition to her work with Moms Demand Action\, Watts is an active board member of Emerge America\, one of the nation’s leading organizations for recruiting and training women to run for office. \nLocal Peacemaker Award recipients:\nMartina Grifaldo – Executive Director\, Alianza Latina Internacional \nMartina Grifaldo is from Dolores Hidalgo Guanajuato\, Mexico; she is 56 years old. She came to the United States as a Mexican immigrant looking for the American dream for her and her family. Martina and her family put down their roots in Houston\, Texas. Martina started her volunteer career teaching the elderly immigrant people to write and read at her church San Carlos Borromeo. She attended Houston Community College\, where she pursued a double major in English and Spanish. Her passion for civic engagement has granted her many awards and successes. She was able to fight for and help many people keep their homes after a bank had tricked them. A more recent case was the Vanessa Guillen case; she was one of the people who helped bring this case to the public and make national headline. She has won many awards in honor of her advocacy work\, such as a Hispanic award for being one of Houston’s best activists and recognition from the union of SEIU. She is also one of the first to introduce her history at Alley Theater. Martina is the founder of a non-profit organization called Alianza Latina International. Through this organization\, Martina has had the opportunity to serve immigrant and refugee community members. She has seen first-hand the challenges that come with adjusting to life in a new country. Ultimately\, Martina plans to continue advocating for immigrant families and make a difference in children’s lives with anti-bullying school programs through the foreign service or within immigration/refugee relief programs. \nMoms Demand Action\, Houston \nMeals On Wheels\, Houston \nClick here to register!

These blameless young enter a world of jailers and bars\, cold and frightening\, in a futile grasp at normalcy during perhaps the single most important family time of the year. \n  \nThe emotional scars they experience and which may last a lifetime are ministered at Harris County Adult Detention Center by Santa Claus and several dozen elves who await these precious children as they walk out of the building. It is at this point that a miracle often occurs which can immediately be seen on the faces of these little ones. In the midst of the Fat Jolly Gentleman and piles of presents you can see their shaken faith in life return and a light of rekindled joy flicker in their eyes. \n  \nOn Christmas Eve this year\, End Mass Incarcation Houston\, in association with The Positive Black Male Association of Houston\, Houston Peace and Justice Center\, and Bering United Methodist Church\, will change the world with Love. We will give gifts to children\, visiting their jailed parents\, as they emerge from the two largest jails in the city. Join us as we try to heal some of the wounds inflicted by this world on the most innocent in it. In this we are in part healed too. Come out and receive the greatest gift of all. Bring unwrapped gifts and your smile. \nGifts of money may be sent to HPJC.org (mention ‘Jails’) and are tax deductible.

Her grandfather\, a white settler of Scots-Irish heritage\, land-owning farmer\, and veterinarian\, was active in the Oklahoma Socialist Party and Industrial Workers of the World in the early 20th Century. Her historical memoir\, Red Dirt: Growing Up Okie\, tells that story. Relocating to San Francisco\, she graduated in History from San Francisco State University and began graduate school at the University of California at Berkeley\, transferring to University of California\, Los Angeles to complete her doctorate in History\, specializing in Western Hemisphere and Indigenous histories\, where she was active in the anti-Vietnam War movement and anti-colonial movements. From 1967 to 1972\, she was a full time activist and a leader in the women’s liberation movement that emerged in 1967\, organizing in various parts of the U. S.\, traveling to Europe\, Mexico\, and Cuba\, documented in Outlaw Woman: Memoir of the War Years\, 1960-1975. \nIn the wake of the 1973 Wounded Knee siege\, Roxanne joined the American Indian Movement (AIM) and the International Indian Treaty Council\, beginning a lifelong commitment to international human rights and self-determination with non- governmental participation at the United Nations. Appointed as director of Native American Studies at California State University East Bay\, she co-founded the Department of Ethnic Studies\, where she taught for more than three decades. Her first book\, The Great Sioux Nation: An Oral History of the Sioux Nation\, was the fundamental document at the first international conference on Indians of the Americas\, held at United Nations headquarters in Geneva\, Switzerland. Two more scholarly books followed: Roots of Resistance: A History of Land Tenure in New Mexico and Indians of the Americas: Human Rights and Self-Determination. Following the Sandinista revolution in Nicaragua\, Roxanne was invited to appraise the land tenure situation of the Mískitu Indians in the isolated northeastern region of the country\, which soon became a war zone as Reagan administration funded a civil war to overthrow the Sandinistas. In multiple trips in the 1980s to Nicaragua and Honduras\, she monitored the human rights and refugee conditions\, the story told in Blood on the Border: A Memoir of the Contra War. \nRoxanne’s award-winning book\, An Indigenous People’s History of the United States\, was published by Beacon Press in September 2014\, and she co-authored the 2016 Beacon book “All the Real Indians Died Off” and 20 Other Myths about Native Americans. In 2018\, Loaded: A Disarming History of the Second Amendment\, was published City Lights Books. Her forthcoming book\, also with Beacon Press\, challenges the US history narrative of “a nation of immigrants.” She is a recipient of the Lannan Foundation Cultural Freedom Prize for Lifetime Achievement and the Franz Fanon Lifetime Achievement Award. \nLocal Peacemaker Award recipients:\nJudge Lina Hidalgo\n \nLina Hidalgo was raised in an immigrant family. She knows first-hand the sacrifices hard working Texans make every day to pave a better life for their families. Lina was born in Colombia\, when the drug war still raged and everyone knew someone who had been kidnapped. Her parents had two goals: to make sure she had a good education and to get the family to a safer place. Lina grew up in Peru and Mexico\, where her parents were offered job opportunities\, before emigrating to America in 2005. Lina is a proud product of Houston-area public schools and\, as her parents dreamed\, was the first in her family to attend college in the U.S. She graduated from Stanford University with a degree in political science the same year she became a U.S. citizen. Since arriving in Texas\, Lina has been committed to giving back. \nLina has dedicated hundreds of hours to our County’s most vulnerable communities—from her time at the Texas Civil Rights Project to serving as a Spanish-English medical interpreter at the Texas Medical Center and supporting immigrants in search of lost loved ones. Over the past few years and while pursuing a joint degree in law and public policy at NYU and Harvard\, Lina conducted research on criminal justice policies and coordinated with advocacy groups and governments to push for criminal justice reform. Before that\, Lina worked throughout Southeast Asia to promote transparency and accountability by supporting journalists\, bloggers and artists. She helped create and fund a program to bring Stanford students to public policy positions and has served the immigrant and incarcerated communities at any opportunity and in various states. \n\nEgberto Willies\nEgberto Willies is first and foremost a political activist who believes it is imperative that we make the government live up to the ideals of the country’s founding document once and for all\, we-the-people. He is the host of the multimedia program Politics Done Right\, on KPFT 90.1 FM Houston and other networks. Willies serves on  many boards including Coffee Party USA\, KPFT\, Indivisible Houston\, and have served Move to Amend and several others. \nEgberto is a University of Texas graduate with a BS in Mechanical Engineering. He worked for several oil service companies culminating with a space station project at NASA. He subsequently formed Willies Computer Software Co. where he developed over a dozen communication products used in the public sector as well as in every industry in the private sector. \nAs a vocal critic of our political and economic systems who believes it is essential U.S. citizens step up to claim their country\, Egberto decided to lead by example. He reduced his living expenses\, virtually gave up his profitable company\, and started blogging full time at his website egbertowillies.com\, writing at dailykos.com the largest progressive website in the country as a permanent contributing editor\, and producing & hosting Politics Done Right at politicsdoneright.com. He is currently developing a political program in Spanish as well. \n  \nUndies For Everyone\nIn 2012\, Rabbi Amy Weiss formalized a loosely organized annual undies drive into Undies for Undies for Everyone (UFE)\, a nonprofit whose mission is to enhance the self-worth\, dignity\, hygiene and success of disadvantaged students by providing them with new underwear. \nSince 2012 UFE has led this mission in service of hundreds of thousands of young students each year. Distributed directly through school district partnerships\, and indirectly through collaboration with local nonprofits and other organizations\, UFE removes a significant hurdle for students by providing this very basic need. \nIn its first year\, UFE provided 3\,000 pairs to one school district. In 2019\, more than 275\,000 students will receive more than 300\,000 pairs of underwear from agency “Back to School” events and school nurse distributions. The need for this basic dignity and dearth of nonprofits recognizing the importance of underwear make Undies for Everyone’s work an important piece in assisting school children. \nLearn more about Undies For Everyone by visiting http://www.undiesforeveryone.org/ \n  \nAwards Dinner Location:\nCrowne Plaza River Oaks\n2712 Southwest Freeway\nHouston\, TX 77098\nClick here to register URL:https://hpjc.org/event/2019-hpjc-peacemaker-awards-dinner-auction/ LOCATION:Crowne Plaza Hotel\, 2712 Southwest Freeway\, Houston\, TX\, 77098\, United States CATEGORIES:Fundraiser ORGANIZER;CN="Houston Peace &%3B Justice Center":MAILTO:info@hpjc.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Chicago:20190817T130000 DTEND;TZID=America/Chicago:20190817T150000 DTSTAMP:20260424T160110 CREATED:20180317T221054Z LAST-MODIFIED:20190815T011924Z UID:10000385-1566046800-1566054000@hpjc.org SUMMARY:HPJC Quarterly Board Meeting DESCRIPTION:Please join the Houston Peace & Justice Center for our Quarterly Board Meeting.
