SUMMARY:Building a Magical Toolbox
DESCRIPTION:Join Starhawk in her new session of Magical Activism for 2022 beginning July 20. \nDeepen your political activism and magical skills to focus collective power towards challenging and shifting unjust power structures. \n\n\n\n\n\nRight now\, we need tools to counter the manipulative magic that fragments our attention and sways our emotions—from clickbait on the internet to disinformation on Fox News. Lies scream\, while truth whispers. Anxiety\, outrage\, grievance and fear are amplified until they turn into outright hatred. \nBut we can use our magical and practical tools to change this\, to drain away the toxicity and amplify truth and compassion. And those same tools can build community and help each one of us stay grounded\, energized and hopeful through troubled times. \nTo use the full range of our tools to shift collective consciousness\, we’ll provide resources for taking practical action—that’s how we ground the magic and intensify its impact. \nJoin Starhawk in a new session of Magical Activism for 2022 as we upgrade our magical toolboxes together\, and learn how to use everything in them!  \nDeep Political Activism\nI’ve always loved Dion Fortune’s definition of magic: “the art of changing consciousness at will.” It’s always seemed to me to be a perfect definition of deep political activism: not just challenging unjust power\, but shifting the consciousness that accepts injustice. \nTo enact this deep work\, we’ll meet live online roughly every three weeks from mid-July through November (schedule below). Each session will focus on an issue relevant to the moment\, and each will incorporate a specific magical skill. You’ll have ‘homework’—ways to continue the magic between sessions. \nWith crucial midterm elections coming up for the United States in November\, our work will have a U.S. focus—but the tools and skills will be relevant wherever you are. \nWhile we’ll respond to the events of the moment\, here are some of the issues we are likely to cover: \n\n\n\nDefending Democracy\nReproductive Rights and Gender Justice\nRacial Justice\nClimate Change\nCountering Disinformation\nElection magic\nPeace\n\n\n\n  \nHow Magical Activism Works\nThis is a 4-month series that runs between July 2022-November 2022. It’s a live\, cohort-based course which means it centers on our live rituals hosted on Zoom on Wednesdays roughly every 3 weeks. It also means that everyone in the course is joining in live too\, and learning and working together and organizing on the same timeline. \nEach session will focus on a different activist cause. We will do a ritual to add magic to the cause\, then commit to taking solid action towards that cause. \nOnce you register (by donation)\, you’ll be invited via email to our private online learning community where you will be able to access upcoming live links and past recordings\, connect with other magical activists between sessions\, share ideas\, respectfully debate\, and organize. \nEach session includes: a live (or recorded live) ritual teaching session\, some deep personal and community healing work within a ritual framework\, and suggested personal practices (“homework”) to take action in the weeks between sessions. \nEach session will be recorded\, so if you miss one\, you can watch at your leisure. All the links to past sessions will be stored in our private Magical Activism course community. \nAll of our sessions will include live closed captioning and ASL interpretation \nYour Commitment\nBy registering for this series\, you are committing to one 90-minute live session every 3 weeks for the next 4 months. If you can’t join us live\, you can watch the recordings at your convenience. \nWe are asking that you commit additionally to at least an hour of your time for each session to practical\, real-world work on an issue. \nThis might mean making calls for a candidate\, showing up for a demonstration or organizing one\, writing your representatives\, donating money to an organization or a campaign\, writing your own posts on the internet and/or amplifying others\, a project or creative work of your own. \nOf course\, I would never ask you to do anything that goes against your personal values or violates your sense of integrity. \nFirst Live Session\nWednesday July 20th | 5:30pm Pacific Time \nSeries Schedule\nThis is our tentative schedule—of course\, subject matter may shift in response to current events\, and we have been known to add bonus/emergency sessions at times when needed. More details on each session will be released before the course begins. \nSession 1 | Wednesday\, July 20th \nSession 2 | Wednesday\, August 10th \nSession 3 | Wednesday\, August 31st \nSession 4 | Wednesday\, September 21st \nSession 5 | Wednesday\, October 12th \nSession 6 | Wednesday\, November 2nd \nSession 7 | Wednesday November 9th or 16th (TBD) \n  \nThis Course is Open to Anyone Who Wants to Learn These Skills and Tools.\nMy own political perspective is progressive to radical. I’ve had a lifelong commitment to social justice in all its forms\, to non-violence\, feminism\, environmental balance and justice\, and undoing all the structures of oppression. \nWe offer this course by donation because we want all who are called to this work to be able to access it. Donate what feels comfortable for you\, and share this course with all who may be called to this work! \nI strongly believe that what we need now is a powerful\, welcoming movement for justice in all its forms\, one that is truly inclusive of all people\, and that generates energy\, enthusiasm and joy even in the midst of struggle.

SUMMARY:The Beginning and the End of America
DESCRIPTION:In this moment of upheaval\, it is evident that our past – one of colonialism\, enslavement and oppressive patriarchy – is alive in the present. The nonduality of our circumstances is also clear. With an organic understanding of collapse\, not an industrial one\, we start to see the old is providing fertilizer for the new. \nIn this talk\, Dr. Ward will explore how we have confused change for transformation. \nTransformation is at the base; change happens at the surface. Dr. Ward will share practices that cultivate individual transformation and help us create\, as Margaret Wheatley describes it\, islands of sanity. Please join us. \nThis event is Donation Based. \nRegister Here

SUMMARY:Poor People's Assembly: Moral March on Washington
DESCRIPTION:The Mass Poor People’s & Low-Wage Workers’ Assembly & Moral March on Washington and to the Polls on June 18\, 2022 will be a generationally-transformative declaration of the power of poor and low-wealth people and our moral allies to say that this system is killing ALL of us and we can’t…we won’t… \nWhy We March: \nWe Assemble and March on June 18\, 2022 because any nation that ignores nearly half of its citizens is in a moral\, economic and political crisis. There were 140 million people who were poor or one emergency away from economic ruin before the pandemic. Since March 2020\, while hundreds of thousands of people have died\, millions are on the edge of hunger and eviction\, and still without health care or living wages\, billionaire wealth has grown by over $2 trillion. \nSign Up to Learn More

SUMMARY:How War-mongering Now Includes a Nuclear War
DESCRIPTION:Code Pink invites you to attend a conversation with Col. Lawrence Wilderson May 25 at 5 p.m. on Zoom. \nThe war in Ukraine has brought a new level of war-mongering by the powerful\, not only echoed but amplified by the mainstream media. Notice how little we hear about negotiations and how repeatedly we are told that it is only more weapons that Ukraine needs. \nJoin us for a conversation with Col. Lawrence Wilkerson as he warns about war-mongering having gone nuclear: how the White House thinks it can win a nuclear war with Russia and how dangerous and disturbing this idea is. \nCol. Lawrence Wilkerson is an adjunct professor of government and public policy at the College of William and Mary and the former Chief of Staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell (2002 to 2005). He is a critic of U.S. foreign policy surrounding the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars\, Iran\, and the new Cold Wars with China and Russia\, and asserts that the U.S. is not a democracy but a war state that forces its will on the global community. In 2020\, Wilkerson worked on bipartisan projects to prepare for the possibility that a defeated Donald Trump would refuse to leave office. \nLearn More and Register Here

SUMMARY:Deconstructing Whiteness: Pioneers as Celebrated Figures
DESCRIPTION:For their April Zoom meeting\, Deconstructing Whiteness will focus on the topic Pioneers as Celebrated Figures: What are the Stories We Tell Ourselves? \nFrom Deconstructing Whiteness: \n“As we contemplate sayings such as “the last American frontier”\, “pioneers had it rough and persevered”\, “pioneers made something of this land\, they foraged\, and shaped it from nothing”\, “the founders of the U.S. were great men”\, “how the american west was won”\, “let’s play cowboys and indians”\, “last person on the totem pole”\, etc……let’s look at deconstructing these white colonists’ phrases. \nWhen we think about Euro-American settlers/colonizers and the way they have been romanticized for future generations\, we ponder this for at least two reasons: \n1) Why past and current white generations did and still continue this practice to this day\, and\n2) What keeps us believing in the white-centered\, brainwashed stories? \nWhat stories have we told ourselves\, as a people\, that live in us as “truth?” With some research\, we find they [stories as truth] are not based in fact. What in our white supremacy assumptions have we inherited from WAY back\, and live with us today? \nPrep Materials for April 2022: \n\nAndrew Jackson – (Through colonizer history)\nAmerican History Told Through Native Lens – NPR\nWe Shall Remain – There are 5 about 30-75min episodes – PBS – (These are not free unless you have a subscription through PBS or pay through Amazon prime)\nEssential Understandings of Native Americans in Oregon – Oregon Department of Education and the Nine Tribes of Oregon\n\nThese prep materials are optional\, but we encourage you to look at them with the intent of planting the seed of curiosity and self-education\, not as a “prerequisite” for attending. We start each of our sessions with a mutually created foundation. \nRSVP Here

SUMMARY:Film Screening: The Revolution Generation
DESCRIPTION:Stopping the emissions and then reversing the effects of excess greenhouse gasses is the existential crisis of our times. Massive\, transformative action is needed and must happen by the end of the decade. The Millennial Generation has grown up with the technology\, social tools\, and cooperative training to lead this fundamental change. The Revolution Generation is a kinetic\, perceptive documentary of a generation that examines why they are who they are. \nThis film is for all generations. It explores the “80-year cycle” of human history and shows the unique roll that Millennials will play as they shape the society for the rest of the century as we deal with a changing climate change\, social injustices\, geopolitical struggles\, and rapidly changing technology. \nNarrated by Michelle Rodriguez. Featuring interviews with Neil Howe\, Cici Battle\, Renaldo Pearson\, Roza Calderon\, David Burstein\, Christine Hassler\, Adam Smiley Poswalsky\, Ana Kasparian\, Tamara Draught\, Alexi Panos\, Tulsi Gabbard \nThe number of Millennials in the United States — those born between approximately 1978 and 2000 — is near 80 million people. They’re the most diverse generation in America\, with 56 percent of them registered as politically Independent … and every single one of them will be needed if the planet is to avoid climate catastrophe. In THE REVOLUTION GENERATION\, filmmakers Josh Tickell and Rebecca Tickell (whose previous films Fuel\, Pump\, and Kiss the Ground have examined oil\, capitalism\, and a regenerative way forward for the earth) spotlight a generation that has been mischaracterized\, mislabeled\, and mistakenly mocked. Through interviews and highlighting a theory by authors/generational demographists Neil Howe and William Strauss that history can be viewed as a series of 80-year cycles — and within that\, into four “seasons” that bring with them profound societal changes — the film shows the impact of the WWII Generation\, Baby Boomers\, and Gen X. But Millennials occupy a special spot: They’re creators of social tech and native digital users\, are anti-corporate crusaders\, are more empathetic that any previous group … and they now have to secure voting rights\, equality\, and the safety of the planet itself. Can they do it? A kinetic\, perceptive documentary of a generation and why they are who they are\, THE REVOLUTION GENERATION is also\, as Josh Trickell says\, “A how-to manual for saving the earth.” \nPlease join us for a screening and subsequent discussion on Wednesday\, April 27 at 6:00 PM PDT. \nRegistration required: bit.ly/SOCAN-Rev-Gen
