Confronting Racism: Building United Movements Ohio Conference
May 16th
Mendenhall Laboratory - Ohio State University
9am - 7pm
Introduction
Confronting Racism: Building United Movements will take place on Saturday, May 16th 2009 at The Ohio State University. We would like to thank Catalyst Project, LeftTurn Magazine, SOUL, Colors of Resistance, organizers at the BASTARD conference, and many others for providing us inspiration in both language and in concept for this conference.
Its our goal that Confronting Racism: Building United Movements will be an organizing space for students and community members throughout Ohio, especially women, people of color, queer, and working-class people, to develop the skills and the vision they need to struggle for a collective liberation against corporate power and institutional oppression. To these ends, Confronting Racism: Building United Movements will provide both structured workshops and more open-space-style discussion spaces that will develop participants’ basic organizing skills and deepen their political analysis and visions toward fundamental social change. The Open Space discussions’ goal is to provide a place for structured conversations on specific topics without requiring a talking head to lead the conversation.. We are excited to see what comes out of these free-form sessions!
The Theme
The theme for the Confronting Racism: Building United Movements conference will be “Connecting the dots: racism and issues of global capitalism.” We envision a conference with workshops and action-oriented discussions exposing the interconnectedness of racism with issues of global capitalism affecting us locally such as;
• affordable housing • employment justice
• access to healthcare • public transportation
• immigration • environmental and food justice
• police brutality and prison abolition • physical and sexual violence
• queer & trans liberation • indigenous solidarity
• militarism, and more.
This is an opportunity to examine our common ground within seemingly separate issues and develop a unified voice of resistance against global capitalism and imperialism as we continue building a collective liberation movement in Ohio. We are committed to building an anti-racist, anti-imperialist, multiracial, feminist, queer and trans liberationist, anti-authoritarian movement against global capitalism and promoting the understanding that there are multiple valid approaches to doing this work. Please come and let us hear your voice.

Where there's smoke... Anarchism after the RNC
Where there’s smoke….
Anarchism after the RNC
I.
We’ve got the numbers, they’ve got the guns..
Our chants reverberated under the St. Paul skyway. The 2008 RNC protests were underway, the culmination of two years of anarchist/anti-authoritarian organizing materializing before our eyes. For once, we were many, and they were few… or maybe not...

I FOUND THE PANOPTICON
Schoenbaum Family Center at Weinland Park
Innovation in learning and living
At the Schoenbaum Family Center at Weinland Park, the education of young children is based on a combination of caring relationships and the best in early childhood research. Located in Columbus' Weinland Park neighborhood, the center opened to families in autumn 2007.
The Ohio State University collaborates with Columbus City Schools and with the Child Development Council of Franklin County Headstart/Early Head Start to serve a culturally and economically diverse community of children ages birth to five and their families. The unique A. Sophie Rogers Laboratory School, which is within the Schoenbaum Center, overlooks the park and is co-located with the Weinland Park Elementary School, providing opportunities for collaboration across programs as well as sites for teacher training and research.
Among the first in the nation
In 1924, Ohio State was one of the first universities in the country to establish an early childhood laboratory school. Now we're among the first again, perhaps the first to collaborate with public and private partners to build our university child development laboratory in a neighborhood of documented need. Through research, innovative approaches, and best practices, we address the special issues facing families in this and similar neighborhoods worldwide.
Our cutting-edge facility draws enthusiastic partners, faculty, and students
Everyone wins when involved with the best. The Schoenbaum Family Center is a magnet attracting high-achieving students, community professionals eager to learn, and distinguished faculty to our college. Scholars consider our child population of mixed socioeconomic and cultural backgrounds, ideal for child development and education as well as for research.
Partners like you made it possible
Today, the 47,840 square foot, cutting-edge center serves 88 children and their families. The center is the cornerstone of the college's partnership with the neighborhood. Our goal is to enhance early childhood education and family well-being as a stimulant to community success. We're improving a community starting with the children.
The partnership approach has yielded many benefits, including a shared site with Columbus City Schools' Weinland Park Elementary School to ensure children's success from birth through grade five. More than 20 partners -- agencies and other Ohio State colleges -- provide support services for families.
In 2007, the university won the Magrath/Kellogg Foundation Award for Best Outreach Project in the North Central Region. The award recognizes the new model of public and private partners who are making rapid change to improve the lives of children and youth. The combined Weinland Park effort continues to gain national recognition.
Unique features of the innovative center
- 7 Multi-age classrooms, which include:
- 3 infant/toddler rooms - each with 8 children ages 6 weeks to 3 years old
- 4 preschool rooms - each with 16 children ages 3 to 5 years old
- All classrooms have 2 co-lead teachers and an assistant teacher
- Full-day, year round program open Monday through Friday 7 am to 6 pm
- Graduate and undergraduate Ohio State students gaining experience in child development and education in the classrooms under the mentorship of the expert lead teachers
- A nature courtyard at the heart of the center links to the outside via side courtyards that form a ribbon of green space through the building. The space allows children to interact and stay in touch with the natural environment and the community.
- The Proctor and Gamble Town Square for school and community gatherings.
- The Columbus Foundation Observation Gallery overlooks all classrooms and studio spaces so parents, university students, researchers, and visitors can unobtrusively view teachers and children engaged in model practices in early childhood education and care.
- The Elmer's Art Studio offers opportunities for children to explore and represent their many ideas and thoughts using an array of materials, from art supplies to natural and recycled materials.
- A commercial quality kitchen includes educational space where children and families are learning about healthy nutrition, food safety, and the health effects of nutritional choices. The kitchen staff prepares a fresh morning breakfast, lunch and afternoon snack each day.
- Large spaces dedicated to OSU faculty pursuing research in early childhood education and related fields.
- Family advocacy office providing assistance to families
- The JP Morgan Chase library and part-time librarian from Columbus Metropolitan Libraries providing story times and book collections for the classrooms and teachers.
- A registered nurse provided through Columbus City Schools and wellness suite on site.

The Message;
Why is there money to bring a speaker who celebrates and encourages sexual violence but not any money for sexual assault survivors?
Other action suggestions listed at bottom.
***INFORMATION***
Yesterday OUAB (Ohio Union Activities Board) sponsored a speaker, Tucker Max. Mr. Max has built his career on representing himself as a non-conformist - he not to practice law despite having a law degree from Duke because he has published a successful book. His writing career is just a celebration of male privilege and sexual violence, the 'usual college stories' of sex and drinking, but with enough hyperbole and exaggeration it's packaged as humor. Most of his stories use sex and sexuality to humiliate women and pushes the bounds on what might be considered consent - at the very least it promotes a culture of sexual violence. Why OUAB is convinced that being a misogynist is non-conformist is perplexing to me.
There was a sizable protest yesterday and it appears that OUAB didn't know how to adequately respond. There's been a lot of administrative backpedaling and some luke-warm attempts at inclusivism. [http://media.www.thelantern.com/media/storage/paper333/news/2009/05/12/Campus/Dozens.Of.Students.Protest.Tucker.Max-3740222.shtml]
Strangely enough, Mr Max's visit was advertised right after some feminists kicked off a campaign for OSU to establish a sexual violence victims fund.
Meg Zakany, an affiliate of Women and Allies Rising in Resistance, was featured in a recent OSU issue of the Lantern describing the fund. [http://www.thelantern.com/home/index.cfm?event=displayArticle&ustory_id=e4440492-955a-4a78-813c-436bdb654520]
The article states:"A group of Ohio State students is campaigning against the university and OSU Medical Center, asking OSU to pay for the medical bills of students who have been sexually assaulted on campus and who seek help from the medical center."
Zakany is quotes, saying "We know this type of fund can work because it's already had eight years of success at another Big Ten university, Penn State.""It's actually needs-based so there's no cap on the amount of funding. We're hoping we can do something similar to that here."

Other ideas:
1) Show up to Take Back the Night on Thursday! 5pm Wexner Center Plaza
2) Set up a meeting with OUAB. Find out how they work, how they represent different interests, and how they spend the student activity fee.
3) Propose an alternative event to OUAB. My idea is a sex fair (run by feminists, of course).
4) Start a feminist action group of your own. Look more into what you and your friends are good at and how to intervene within the patriarchal society we live in.
