U.S (VOCAL NEW YORK) : VOCAL-NY Guide to Your Week !
François MINOD (France).
Écoute le bruit des pierres
Qui cognent dans nos têtes
Écoute le pli du vent
Qui murmure à nos oreilles
Écoute le silence de la nuit
Qui bruit à l’infini
Écoute encore
Et encore
Et puis t’endors
François MINOD.

Un radeau voltigeur
Une vieille hirondelle…
Imaginez le reste.

U.S (HIP HOP CAUCUS) : 28 days in 2023, and 33 mass shootings !
|
Dear friend,
Hip Hop Caucus is deeply saddened by the news of the horrific mass shootings in Monterey Park, Half Moon Bay, and Oakland California. In just 44 hours, there were three mass shootings, and 19 lives were lost. Gun violence continues to wreak havoc on our country, and we need our elected leaders to enact gun reform now. We’re only 28 days into 2023, but the U.S. has already had 33 mass shootings. Hip Hop Caucus is dedicated to advocating for tangible, policy-based solutions as we mourn the victims of these horrific tragedies. So often, we hear from our elected leaders that nothing could have predicted or prevented these shootings—but that couldn’t be further from the truth. These tragedies are the cost of continued inaction on gun violence. Lawmakers in Congress must prioritize gun reform legislation, strengthen current laws, close existing loopholes, and ban assault weapons. For Future Generations,
Team Hip Hop Caucus.

U.S (NATIVE ORGANIZERS ALLIANCE ACTION FUND) : 5 more victories in our fight to remove racist slurs from historic sites.
Friend,
We’re working every day to ensure that Indigenous wisdom is acknowledged and guides decisions being made on the local, state, and federal levels. That’s why the recent announcement from Secretary of the Interior Deb Haaland is so important.
This month, the department announced 5 more name changes of historic sites, which had previously contained a racist, misogynistic slur for Native women.
"Words matter, particularly in our work to ensure our nation's public lands and waters are accessible and welcoming to people of all backgrounds." –Sec. Deb Haaland
And, while Sec. Haaland’s department has led a successful effort to rename hundreds of sites across the country, this effort is ongoing as we build the movement to overcome the resistance to moving towards a truly multiracial democracy which guarantees the inclusion of Native peoples and our traditional belief systems.
In North Dakota, for example, a County Commissioner suggested that the “culture” of the non-Native community should be the priority over the civil rights or dignity of Indigenous people who have lived on the land for time immemorial.[1]
With hundreds more name change recommendations being made by nearly 70 Tribal governments, and the local opposition from many non-Native communities, we have so much more work to do to protect and expand democracy and consolidate gains under Sec. Haaland’s leadership.
The 5 most recent name changes came in California, North Dakota, Tennessee, and Texas.
This comes after hundreds were changed last September as part of an ongoing effort led by the federal government under Sec. Haaland’s leadership. Haaland is the first Native person to lead a Cabinet agency under a presidential administration, proving the impact of Native organizing to build Native political power locally and country wide.
"Together, we are showing why representation matters and charting a path for an inclusive America.” –Sec. Deb Haaland
