[Antiracism] Fw: GJF Winter 2007 Newsletter #20

Tue Mar 6 10:13:43 EST 2007


              
            Ruth Trujillo-Acosta, New Executive Director of the Greensboro Justice Fund
            On Monday, March 5, 2007, the Greensboro Justice Fund will change. On that day Ruth Trujillo-Acosta, long-time administrator of the Greensboro Justice Fund, will become Executive Director, the first full-time paid staff person in the last 22 years. 

            Ruth is my long-time friend y hermana. She was born in El Salvador and grew up in the liberation struggle where as a teen she fought against the United States military-backed oligarchy and their police and paramilitary. Close friends were among the tens of thousands "disappeared" by the death squads, most assuredly to their death. She escaped to the United States when only 19 to work for the Salvadoran refugee and solidarity movement during the '80s, and the FMLN in its diplomatic corps at the United Nations in New York. It was there that she met her husband, Gustavo Acosta, and had her daughter Xochilt, now 17 years old and a junior at Holyoke High School. 

            Ruth's unshakable determination to change the world on behalf of the poor, women and people of color was reaffirmed by her experience at Smith College here in Northampton supported by a full scholarship in the Ada Comstock Program. She came to work for the Greensboro Justice Fund as very part-time administrator in 1999. She built our website and our computer database and has run much of the day-to-day operations. (You have probably gotten her thank-yous for your donations.) Since graduation from Smith she has worked at the Peace Development Fund, for the Women's Research Project of Franklin County and then as director of programs for Northampton's battered women's shelter, Safe Passage. She managed all these positions while continuing her part-time work with GJF. We feel an organizational guilt for plucking her from Safe Passage but this is balanced by our joy at knowing what she will contribute to the struggle for social justice through the Greensboro Justice Fund. 

            She has in her spare time continued to be actively involved in the struggle for immigration rights and anti racism, and brings national stature in that movement to her work with GJF. 

            Thank you, Ruth, for what you have done and for what you will do for the Greensboro Justice Fund. We have a lot of work ahead and it is with great anticipation that I look forward to doing it with you. 

            -Marty Nathan MD, Executive Director 1992-2007

            Granting surpasses $48,000 in 2006!
            On November 12, 2006, the Greensboro Justice Fund voted to fund thirteen grassroots groups a total of $25,000 to support such diverse activities as protesting the Iraq War in the military town of Fayetteville, North Carolina to helping unite poultry growers, environmentalists and workers in their common interest against huge poultry conglomerates. Five thousand dollars went to post-Katrina justice in New Orleans to support the fight for poor people and people of color to return and rebuild and to combat the pervasive prison-industrial complex. 

            We have now granted more than one-half million dollars to grassroots justice organizations in the last twenty-one years. We have made a difference in the South, providing a resource where there is usually none to people who know that the status quo is no longer tolerable. With no deep pockets, your donations have made the difference. 

            Fall, 2006 Grantees: 

            Activists With A Purpose (AWAP), Grenada, MS $2,000 to fight against racism past and present in this Mississippi town. Their work focuses on increasing Democratic rights for African-Americans, protecting and promoting youth and their leadership and dealing with the effects of unaddressed past racial violence. 

            Western North Carolina Citizens for an End to Institutional Bigotry, (NCCEIB) Asheville, NC $2,500. For more than a decade the GJF has provided general support for this energetic group of men and women who have changed the political landscape in Western North Carolina by confronting racist Indian sports mascots in schools, exposing racist and bigoted violence, and taking a stand on first amendment issues. 

            Center for Artistic Revolution, North Little Rock, AR $1,000 to support innovative, artistically-augmented community organizing work that "focuses on Fairness and Equality for ALL Arkansans" and creating collaborative organizing efforts between diverse communities. 

            Kentucky Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression, Louisville, KY $2,500 for general support for this amazing grassroots organization that has for decades devoted its meager resources to the struggle to root out racism in the Louisville area, focusing particularly on ending police brutality. 

            Interfaith Action of Southwest Florida, Immokalee, FL $1,500 for their work in partnership with the Coalition of Immokalee Workers to organize the Alliance for Fair Food. (See article this newsletter.) 

            Appalachian Women's Alliance, Floyd, VA, $1,000 for the ongoing anti-racist feminist work through its Clinchco, VA Center in an isolated sector of the Virginia mountains. 

            Critical Resistance, Southern Regional Office, New Orleans, LA $2,000 for their Amnesty for Prisoners of Katrina campaign, to ensure that those arrested for taking care of themselves and their family after the storm are not imprisoned and that the prison industrial complex is not used as a tool to respond to disaster in Louisiana. 

            Georgia Poultry Justice Alliance, Atlanta, GA $1,000 to this coalition across the lower rungs of the poultry production pyramid to promote workplace safety and a reduction in the number of disabling injuries suffered by poultry processing workers. 

            Common Ground Legal Advocacy Committee, New Orleans, LA $3,000 for its work with the impoverished and historically oppressed returning residents of New Orleans to ensure a just reconstruction based in self-determination and personal and neighborhood empowerment. 

            Western North Carolina Workers Center, Morganton, NC $2,000 for general support in educating and organizing low-wage workers in one of the least unionized areas of the country. 

            South Carolina Progressive Network, Columbia, SC, $3,000 for general support as it continues to bring together men and women across broad sectors of the disempowered in South Carolina to shape public policy. 

            South Florida Interfaith Worker Justice, Miami, FL $3,000 for general support for this faith based organization supporting the right to union representation and decent living conditions for low-waged, mainly immigrant workers in the Miami-Dade County area. 

            Fayetteville Peace Rally Coalition, Fayetteville, NC $500 to support the March 17 rally for peace and against militarism in this strongly pro-military area. 

            The diversity and centrality of the organizing is striking. The board found itself making difficult decisions among groups whose value to our country's future is without parallel in the GJF's history. We vowed that next time our resources would be greater and the number and size of grants larger. Please help us meet that promise.

            The Progress of Truth


                  Marty Nathan and TRC Local Task Force member Ed Whitfield speak at Brown University. Photo courtesy Frank Mullin. 
            The seeds of truth were planted in Greensboro by the country's first Truth and Reconciliation Commission report. Their growth now is not limited to the City. 

            During the last eight months there has been widespread discussion of the document and attempts to convince city government to implement its broad-ranging recommendations. One hundred people gathered during a snowstorm in December for a community dialogue at Greensboro's Bennett College, a historically black women's institution which will ultimately house the archives of the Commission. A second large gathering will occur at the downtown public library on March 11 from 4 to 6 pm. 

            The Report has been taken to local Presbyterian and Methodist churches for discussion and it has been actively taken up by the clergy of the Black ministerial alliance. Bishop Chip Marble presented the Commission Report to hundreds at the Episcopal Urban conference in Raleigh, where GJF Board Member Rev. Nelson Johnson and former Mayor Carolyn Allen spoke. 

            A region-wide coalition of students and faculty from six separate colleges is meeting to study the report and carry out campus-based academic discussion. They plan to promote it on their campuses as extensively and seriously as the "One City - One Book" reading initiatives adopted by many cities. Students are taking on their own initiative, planning a student-led conference on April 14 focused solely on the Commission Report. 

            Finally, a wave of activism took 5,000 progressives to Raleigh on February 10 in a demonstration to revitalize the people's movement. Headed by the North Carolina NAACP, the HKonJ March carried Truth and Reconciliation with it. The 14 points of the People's Agenda included a call for a statewide truth commission based on the Greensboro and South African experience. 

            Less than a year ago you, the supporters of the Greensboro Justice Fund, responded to a call to aid in dissemination of the lessons learned from the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The product of that effort, the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation video, is being shown at forums and gatherings throughout the country and accessible on our website, www.gjf.org. A copy is free upon request to our all our grantees. 

            Please contact us if you would like a copy of the DVD to give to your local school system, library, college, or organization. It is available for $10 to cover copying and shipping by calling 413-584-1079 or emailing RuthTrujillo at comcast.net.

            Campaign for Fair Food Takes on Goliath - McDonald's


                  SFA/CIW demonstrate against McDonald's 
            On January 10 the Coalition of Immokalee Workers with their support organization the Student/Farmworker Alliance announced a major mobilization for farmworker justice focused on McDonald's, the world's largest fast-food corporation. On April 13-14, 2007 activists will converge in the Chicago area, corporate headquarters to demonstrate for higher wages and safer working conditions on behalf of those who grow and pick tomatoes for McDonald's burgers. 

            Thousands will be demanding human rights for farmworkers at the following events: 

              a.. Major rally outside McDonald's global headquarters in Oak Brook, IL, Friday, April 13. 
              b.. Carnaval and Parade for Fair Food, Real Rights, and Dignity in downtown Chicago, Saturday, April 14 . 
            Two years after the CIW and Taco Bell announced their historic agreement ensuring a contract increasing wages and improving working conditions for the farmworkers who supply Taco Bell's, McDonald's has yet to meet the challenge posed by the Coalition for Immokalee Workers to do the same. In late 2005 CIW sent out an action alert that produced thousands of emails, letters and calls to McDonald's headquarters demanding fairness for farmworkers. 

            The corporate response was to announce that it would partner with the Socially Accountable Farm Employers (SAFE) to redesign its supply chain program supposedly to improve farmworker conditions. However, SAFE consists of collaboration between a corporate controlled lobbying interest (the Florida Fruit and Vegetable Association) and a social services agency dependent on the FFVA. 

            According to a statement released by United Students Against Sweatshops, "Corporate controlled monitoring programs have never worked and are deemed completely illegitimate by everyone involved in the implementation of worker rights. The incentive of corporate-controlled monitors to continue to receive a pay check from the corporations they work for continually outweighs their incentive for uncovering and remediating worker rights abuses... Workers are the only ones who know what conditions are like day to day and what improvements need to be made." 

            These words were prophetic. In December it was revealed that one of McDonald's suppliers, Ag-Mart, had hired a Florida labor contractor who had spent 33 months in prison for enslaving and beating workers. 

            "Despite increasing public pressure on the fast-food giant, McDonald's has refused to recognize the seriousness of the exploitation of tomato pickers exposed through the Taco Bell boycott, and refused to work with the CIW to address that exploitation," according to the Student/Farmworker Alliance website. "Instead, it has taken measures that appear aimed at undermining the hard-won advances in wages and working conditions established in the agreement with Taco Bell." 

            >From CIW, "Today, we are tired, in the words of Martin Luther King Jr., of 'relying on the good will and understanding of those who profit by exploiting us.'" 

            CIW and S/FA are joined by two of the Greensboro Justice Fund's other grantees, the South Florida Interfaith Worker Justice and Interfaith Action of South Florida, in this Campaign for Fair Food.

            Hate Crime at Guilford College
            On early Saturday morning, January 20, approximately fifteen members of the Guilford College football team attacked three Palestinian students while calling them racist names: "Sand n____s", "Terrorist", and "f__ing Palestinians". Two of the Palestinians, Faris Khader and Osama Sabbah, were also Guilford College students and Omar Awartani was a student visiting from Raleigh's North Carolina State University. They were preparing to go out for the evening when the football players confronted them. Faris tried to prevent violence by shaking the hand of one of the football players, but the three were attacked anyway, and beaten with fists, brass knuckles, and loose bricks that were lying around the area, which was under construction. All three were treated for concussions and Faris suffered a dislocated jaw. 

            Three of the football players have been arrested for criminal assault and ethnic intimidation based on complaints by the Palestinian students and are out on bail. 

            As of the writing of this article none of the football players have faced any repercussions so far at the college and continue to go to classes, while the college undergoes its own judicial investigation. One of the players is an All-American. 

            Guilford has so far treated this as an "altercation" not a hate crime. There have been no steps taken yet to protect those beaten or to speak to the ethnic abuse evident in the slurs that accompanied the brutality. 

            Students, however, have spoken out, with a large campus demonstration demanding a response from the College. Rev. Nelson Johnson, Greensboro Justice Fund Board member, spoke at that rally, drawing the parallels between the violence and that of the Massacre in Greensboro in 1979. 

            All of us are aware of the anti-Arab, anti-Muslim sentiments generated, played on and acted upon by this country's "War on Terror". The Guilford violence is not an isolated event but is in part a reflection of the present national rhetoric and policy. Because of that, it is something that we as a country must face and react to. 

            The Greensboro Justice Fund voted an emergency grant to support the legal and organizing needs of the Palestinian victims and recommends that supporters contact Kent Chabotar, President: chabotar at guilford.edu, 336-316-2146 and Aaron Fetrow, Dean of Campus Life: afetrow at guilford.edu, 336-316-2133 to request support of the victims and investigation of the conditions that led to the violence. 

            Guilford College has been and can be a beacon to a troubled nation. We eagerly await its return to that role.

            Si Kahn Sings for GJF in Northampton
            In September Si Kahn did a wonderful benefit concert for GJF. On a warm September evening Si held forth on stage at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Hall, armed only with his guitar, his voice, and his incredible repertoire of songs. 

            Two hundred guests filled the hall, GJF supporters and donors, as well as appreciative townspeople. They all came ready to hear a great concert, learn more about our good work and support our mission. 

            And who better to convey the spirit of the Justice Fund's mission than Si Kahn: not only a singer and songwriter but also a speaker, writer and workshop leader who has lived in the South and worked there as a labor organizer for the last 40 years. 

            The audience was not disappointed. The songs and the speeches put the message across about the kinds of people we work to support, telling of the courage of everyday people struggling to live in challenging circumstances. With the help of our generous supporters, we raised $8,000. 

            - Development Coordinator Christine Olson

            Community Fundraising to Serve Grassroots Struggles
            This has been a season of house parties for GJF. Between October and January, five people came forward and hosted benefits in their home, raising over $10,000 for the Fund. 

            These events happened in Baltimore and Hyattsville, Maryland; Chapel Hill, North Carolina; Rosendale, New York; Los Angeles and Atlanta. More are planned for the Spring including two in Massachusetts. 

            Baltimore, MD: On November 15th, 2006, the University of Maryland School of Law hosted a panel discussion: "International Justice Tools for the Local Justice Toolkit." Panelists included people who had been involved in all levels of Greensboro's Truth and Reconciliation (TRC) process, as well as representatives from Baltimore's Community Conferencing Center. Each of these justice processes grow out of indigenous cultures, both inside and outside of the United States. They have been modified for use in current U.S. cities and states, and panelists shared their experiences and talked about both the opportunities and challenges that these complementary justice processes present. 

            Following the panel discussion, local board members and friends of the Greensboro Justice fund hosted a fundraiser at a nearby pub. Old and new friends of the GJF were able to relax and mingle, reflecting on the discussions of the day, as well as catching up on recent work being done by the GJF. Board Chair Rosalyn Pelles was able to attend and answer questions people had about the current outlook for the Fund. Over $3000.00 was raised at the event. 

            Altogether it was an inspiring evening. It reaffirmed that the work of the GJF continues to stretch and redefine expectations for justice in the U.S. The questions of those who attended, including those from law students and members of the Maryland Community Justice Task Force, showed an openness to learn from the lessons of Greensboro and to think creatively about how the TRC process might help a justice process in their own communities. - Board Member Brenda Blom 

            Chapel Hill, NC. GJF executive director Marty Nathan joined with dozens of GJF supporters and friends at a house party at the home of Claudia Prose that raised more than $2,500. Nathan was joined by GJF grantees Allison Carpenter, Field Coordinator, Students Responsible for a Global Environment (SURGE); Lupe Huitron, Internship Coordinator for Student Action with Farmworkers (SAF), and Connie Gates, representing the National Farmworker Ministry. Those assembled heard about the history of the Fund, the important role of our granting, our plans to hire staff so that we can further institutionalize and expand our work, and about the actual difference that their dollars make in the field. - Board Member Lucy Lewis 

            Hyattsville, MD, December 30. Showing the DVD of Alison Duncan's testimony at the Greensboro Truth and Reconciliation set the stage for a lively discussion with young activists, parents and long standing supporters of the GJF about lessons learned and the tasks ahead. About 30 people gathered at the Quaker Meeting House of advisory committee members Lainie and Rob Duncan on a Saturday afternoon to hear about the Truth Commission and support the work of the GJF. Opening with the 16 minute Summary of the hearings brought a broad sweep from images of the original attack to the public announcement of the findings of the Commission. The findings' impact was made even more moving when Rosalyn Pelles, chair of the board of directors of the Greensboro Justice Fund and participant in the Nov. 3rd demonstration was so uplifted hearing their conclusions for the first time that she had to pause before proceeding with her planned speech. 

            Alison and Cesar Weston's combined testimony created a visual tribute to the diversity that is brought together in this struggle. A young white woman and a strong black man comforting each other as they deliver their emotionally vulnerable yet politically powerful testimonies inspired us to look inward and to take action. A poignant question in the discussion that followed, "How can we insure that the young activists today have the opportunity to act on their beliefs in the reality of economic survival and debts?" brought new commitments from old activists to engage in the training of a next generation. 

            This opportunity to connect with each other and the generous financial contributions strengthen the work of the Greensboro Justice Fund and have served to spread the message of restorative justice that the Truth and Reconciliation Commission represents. - Rob and Lainie Duncan 

            Atlanta, GA, January 20. Emory University Professors Ivan Karp and Corinne Kratz hosted a warm and lively reception for Marty Nathan and her husband Elliot Fratkin at their home in Atlanta. Surrounded by African art collected in two lifetimes of work in Kenya, Marty spoke of the struggle for the Fund's survival after the Massacre in Greensboro twenty-six years ago, and its growth as a key support for organizations working in the South for economic and racial justice. After showing the Greensboro Truth Project film, Rev. Thee Smith spoke of the Atlanta community's work in exposing "lynching postcards" that celebrated murders of Black men in the last century. A thoughtful conversation about historical truth and present-day justice went on into the night. Our thanks to Cory and Ivan and their friends 

            Imagine your name next year on the list of heros and sheros as a house party host. Please consider helping us out in this way. You can do something as small or as grand as you wish and we will help you plan each step of the way. We have speakers, films, and literature available. Contact Marty Nathan or Christine Olson at the office.

            Our Sorrow
            For the death of longtime supporter Delbert Wong of Los Angeles. Father to three members of our advisory committee, Judge Wong was a man of tremendous courage and wisdom. He was the first Asian-American federal judge in this country's history. The world is poorer for his loss. 


--------------------------------------------------------------------


            S/Heroes of 2006
            Each year the list grows longer. Without these people, and many more too numerous to mention, we simply would not exist, let alone be situated at the present juncture of growth. 

            The following have helped make possible the country's first Truth and Community Reconciliation Commission, the Truth Project that is disseminating nationwide the lessons from the work of that Commission and the hiring of the first full-time staff person, our new executive director, who will be instrumental in building the Greensboro Justice Fund to double our granting and create an endowment that will sustain us and our support of the movement for years to come. You did it. You made the effort to change our country through supporting justice and peace in the South.
