July 7-8, 2018

As we all strive to do our part in righting the injustices in our country, more and more people are taking to the streets to make their voices heard. I've been getting lots of requests in the past year for Street Medic Trainings, which is something I love to teach. The last one I'll be teaching for a year or more is happening in Montpelier in just a few weeks, hosted and organized by the Angelica Medic Collective (of which I am a member). Here are the details, please share them with anyone who is interested:
Street Medic Training

@ Open Way farm in east Montpelier (10 Minute drive from downtown montpelier)
Cost: Sliding Scale---$55-$95

Public Discourse: Bridging Political and Religious Divides
Democracy thrives on deliberation, the practice of weighing and considering various points of view. That practice can only occur in an atmosphere that values reason over partisanship, generosity over paranoia, and respect over the urge to shame. When public discourse is just about establishing dominance, not finding the better solution, then democracy itself is corrupted. How do we turn this around?
Amer Latif has been professor of religious studies at Marlboro College since 2003. His research focuses primarily on Islamic mystical texts and practices. He is also interested in the issues surrounding cultural translation and has published translations of the poetry of Jalaluddin Rumi, the 13th century Muslim scholar and mystic. A current resident of Putney, he grew up in Pakistan and came to the United States for college. After getting a BA in physics from Bard College, he received his Ph.D. in comparative literature from Stony Brook University. He is currently working on two books: “Only God is Good”: Islam in the Words of Jesus and Reading the Qur’an with Rumi.
Meg Mott became interested in political theory while working as a court advocate for a battered women’s shelter during the Clinton Administration. While the political gains made during that era were enormous, particularly with the passage of the Violence Against Women Act, dependence on the criminal justice system has not always served victims. Mott is currently researching how restorative practices might address the harms created by sexual violence. Her opinion pieces have appeared in The Washington Post and The Hechinger Report. Finally, she spent many a summer in Conway with her grandparents, Adie and Archibald MacLeish, who taught her that words matter and that republics are surprisingly fragile.

The second Charlemont Forum:
Tuesday, 31 July: Reclaiming American Democracy
Charlement Federated Church, Main Street, Charlemont 01339, at 7 pm
Admission is free, and refreshments will be provided.
Most Americans think there’s no way to fix what is perceived by many as the current political polarization, gridlock and dysfunction in our country, but there are state and local reform efforts taking hold in dozens of locations around the nation — many using the citizen-driven ballot initiative process. Four states are advancing “redistricting reform” that would end gerrymandering. Several states are passing comprehensive campaign finance and ethics reforms. Three others are passing “automatic voter registration” laws that ensure everyone is registered to vote. The list goes on. Josh Silver will discuss these efforts, and how a growing coalition of nonpartisan organizations is bringing together grassroots conservatives and progressives to pass these reforms. He will discuss the emerging “post-partisan” movement to reclaim American democracy, and how you can be part of it.
Josh Silveris the founder and director of Represent Us, a national nonpartisan and nonprofit organization that is actively addressing comprehensive campaign finance and election reforms across the nation. He is a veteran election and media reform executive. He was the campaign manager for the successful 1998 Arizona Clean Elections ballot initiative, and is the co-founder and former CEO of FREE Press, a leading media and technology reform advocacy organization. Silver has been profiled in the Wall Street Journal and featured in such media outlets asThe New York Times, The Washington Post, USA Today, Newsweek, NPR,andCBS Sunday Morning.
