SUMMARY:They Will Inherit the Earth:  Peace and Nonviolence in a Time of Climate Change with Author John Dear
DESCRIPTION:WE REGRET TO ANNOUNCE THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED AS UNION THEOLOGICAL SEMINARY IS CLOSED DUE TO WEATHER!  We hope you will be inspired to read John’s work and enrich your own practice of nonviolence in the world.\n\n\nJOHN DEAR BOOK TOUR [NEW YORK CITY]\n\n\nORGANIZER: Larry Rasmussen \n\n\nVENUE: Union Theological Seminary\n\n\nADDRESS: 3041 Broadway @121st St\n\n\n \n\n\nThey Will Inherit the Earth: Peace and Nonviolence in a Time of Climate Change\, releasing February 2018.\n\n\n \n\n\nIn this landmark work\, author\, activist\, and Nobel peace prize nominee Father John Dear connects the way of active nonviolence with solidarity with Creation\, and shows how our global epidemic of violence and war could only lead to catastrophic climate change. He cites Jesus’ third Beatitude as the basis for his meditation: “Blessed are the meek\, they will inherit the earth.” Thomas Merton said “meekness” was the biblical word for “nonviolence” (in the Gandhi/King sense)\, so Dear reflects how Jesus connected nonviolence with oneness with creation\, how he practiced nonviolence and lived at one with creation\, and how we need to do the same.\n\n\n \n\n\nIn this time of terrifying climate chaos\, John Dear shares his own personal journey from the Upper West Side of Manhattan to the high desert of New Mexico where he now lives off the grid on a remote mesa. He shares his experience serving as a pastor in the mission church at Yosemite; encounters with New Mexican indigenous women who live at one with the earth while resisting nuclear weapons production at Los Alamos; his experience at Standing Rock in North Dakota\, resisting the pipeline; reflections on the work of environmental leader Bill McKibben and Pope Francis’ monumental encyclical on the environment\, Laudato Si; and ends with suggested steps forward into conscious\, mindful solidarity with all creatures and Mother Earth through active\, steadfast nonviolence\, what he calls\, “eschatological nonviolence\,” walking the earth in the footsteps of the nonviolent Jesus into the Kingdom of God.\n\n\n \n\n\nContacts: Tory Field – tf2406@utsnyc.edu // Larry Rasmussen\, lras1939@gmail.com\n\n\n \n\n\nhttp://www.paceebene.org/event/john-dear-book-tour-new-york-city/

SUMMARY:LEGACIES OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT: LOOKING BACK AND MOVING FORWARD
DESCRIPTION:CEE’s Director of Environmental Justice & Civic Engagement\, Catherine Coleman Flowers to participate in World Water Day panel at the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan.  March 22\, 2018 – 5:00pm – 8:00pm \n\n \n\nIn a collaboration with the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia University and Louise Seamster at the University of Tennessee\, Knoxville\, this Detroit panel discussion will consider some of the recent history of Emergency Management in Michigan.\n\nSince the 1980s\, Michigan has been the national epicenter of “emergency management”—a project that allows state governors to declare “financial emergencies” in cities and thereby replace democratically elected officials with appointed emergency financial managers. In the three decades that emergency management has unfolded in Michigan\, its cities have seen the privatization of public institutions\, disinvestment in public infrastructures\, and other acts of violence against the public sphere. Extending long histories of the extraction of labor\, land\, and wealth from communities of color in the United States\, emergency management has been focused on black majority cities; in the last 10 years\, around 52% of Michigan’s African-American residents have been disenfranchised by emergency management as compared to 3% of white Michiganders.\n\nOn December 14\, 2017\, Governor Rick Snyder announced that there were\, at the moment\, no emergency managers governing any of Michigan’s cities. That announcement prompts questions about the ongoing consequences and legacies of emergency management—a project that has become dormant rather than invalidated. What has the impact of emergency management been on Michigan’s cities? What lessons should be learned from these experiences? How can these lessons inform resistance in other spaces of threatened or ongoing dedemocratization?\n\nReception: 5:00pm\n\nPanel Discussion: 6:00pm\nMark Fancher\, Racial Justice Project\, ACLU of Michigan\nCatherine Coleman Flowers: Alabama Center for Rural Enterprise\nShea Howell\, The James and Grace Lee Boggs Center\nHelen Moore\, Keep the Vote\nLouise Seamster\, The University of Tennessee Knoxville\nModerated by: Andrew Herscher\, The University of Michigan\n\nOn Friday\, March 23rd\, a related workshop will be convened in Ann Arbor. This conversation will take up some of the issues presented on Thursday\, considering Emergency Management as not only a local but also a national project\, which engages with systems of infrastructure\, government\, and culture at multiple scales.\n\nThe events are co-sponsored by theTaubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan and the Temple Hoyne Buell Center for the Study of American Architecture at Columbia University. Image Courtesy of the Overpass Light Brigade.
