The organizers of Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) on the University of Manitoba campus would like to invite members of the media to our press conference on Tuesday, March 9th @ 11:00 AM in room 217 University Centre (the Graduate Students Association lounge). Organizers will be responding to the false and politically-motivated accusations of anti-Semitism made by opponents of IAW, and available to answer questions from the media.
Mordecai Briemberg to speak at Israeli Apartheid Week
The organizers of Israeli Apartheid Week are pleased to announce that Mordecai Briemberg, Canadian activist for Palestinian rights, will be part of our keynote panel ("Israel as an Apartheid State") on Tuesday, March 9th, as well as present on the topic of "Is Israel, as an Apartheid State, a Legitimate Subject of Discussion on University Campuses?" on Wednesday, March 10th. Briemberg will also be speaking at the press conference on Tuesday, as well as an event titled “Is there a New Anti-Seminism?” organized by Independent Jewish Voices at the Millennium Library on Tuesday, March 9th at 7:00.

Mordecai Briemberg is a long-time peace, anti-racist and social-justice activist. In 2007, Canwest Global sued Briemburg for distributing a parody of the Vancouver Sun that criticized Canwest's pro-Israel bias. Canwest Global eventually dropped from the lawsuit in 2008, Briemberg continues to speak out against racism and injustice.
About Israeli Apartheid Week
Israeli Apartheid Week (IAW) is an anti-racist event intended to educate about the realities of Israel's apartheid policies. IAW at the University of Manitoba is running from March 8th until March 12th. In addition to the broad subject of apartheid, this inaugural year includes panel discussions on the impact of apartheid on women, Canadian government complicity, indigenous solidarity, and the appropriateness of Israeli Apartheid as a topic for discussion on University campuses. It also includes an evening event featuring a spoken word performance by Lyrical Militant, a socially-conscious, local hip-hop artist.
Full details of the events can be found online at winnipeg.apartheidweek.org.

International Women's Day is drawing to a close, and I'd better do my duty and reprint (with editing) the comment that I have published for the last two years here at Molly's Blog. What follows is a short history of the day and its significance.

Today, March 8, is celebrated as 'International Women's Day'. Way back when, on March 8 1908, 15,000 women marched through the streets of New York City demanding shorter hours, better pay and voting rights. In 1910 the first international women's conference was held in Copenhagen, Denmark, under the aegis of the Second Socialist International. The German socialist Clara Zetkin was the originator of the proposal. No fixed date was set at this event. The conference called for the establishment of an international women's day. This had been preceded by a declaration of the Socialist Party of America in 1909 calling for such an event on the last Sunday of February.

The date of March 8 gradually became an accepted time because it commemorated an 1857 protest in NYC by garment workers who later went on to establish the first labour union in the USA two years later. (Molly Note-Since I first wrote these words there have been further entries at the Wikipedia site on this day, claiming that this 1857 demonstration never took place. I am unable to say whether this is true or not, but I urge the reader to consult the Wikipedia site for details on the controversy )March 8 was also the day when women in Europe held peace rallies in 1913 as the clouds of WW1 gathered. IWD also gathered force from the Commemoration of the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory Fire on March 25, 1911 when 140 garment workers were killed in a factory fire because the owners had locked the doors, barring any escape.

On the persuasion of Alexandra Kollontai IWD was declared a holiday in the USSR shortly after the Revolution. But.....this "holiday" remained a regular working day until May 8, 1965. Wags might remark that this is the usual stuff of communist pronouncements, with the name and the reality usually at significant variance. Nonetheless IWD remains an official holiday in many countries today. Most are members of the ex-Soviet bloc or other communist countries. By 1975, International Women's Year, the United nations began to sponsor the day. Today there is pressure in many countries to declare it an official holiday. In 2005, for instance, the British Trade Union Congress passed a resolution calling on the United Kingdom to issue such a declaration.

Nowadays celebrations are held across the world on this day. The global women's group Aurora hosts a semi-official list of events and resources. For an anarchist take on the day and its significance see THIS and THIS from the Anarkismo.Net news site. Also 'Feminism, Class and Anarchism' by Deidre Hogan (also available as a downloadable pdf).

INTERNATIONAL POLITICS-CHILE:

A DIFFERENT SORT OF LOOTING:

There is, however, another form of looting that has been going on for centuries. Here, from the Anarkismo website is a call to end that much more serious theft.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCC
Stop the looting in Chile
by José Antonio Gutiérrez D.
[Castellano]

Stop the looting in Chile

Following the earthquake, Chile is facing a huge, difficult task. It is estimated that the country's reconstruction will cost about US$30 billion - such a huge figure that President Bachelet has raised the need to seek credit from the World Bank. But before diving into a new vicious cycle of debt to the international finance organizations, where we are likely to end up paying ten times the original amounts borrowed as a result of their exorbitant interest rates, it is imperative we consider whether the country is able to meet these costs itself and avoid the financial bondage we would otherwise be risking. If there is no such capacity, it is essential we study ways to ensure that most of the funds for reconstruction are found within the country, so as to minimize dependence on foreign loans and credit as much as possible.

I believe that it is important in these times of turmoil, to pay attention to the role that copper can play in rebuilding Chile. This mineral has already provided a reserve fund of US$18 billion which can be used in emergency and reconstruction tasks.

For this reason I enthusiastically join the campaign against looting that, more and more every day, is being stirred up by the media (feeding the collective hysteria of the masses) and by the more snobbish members of the local establishment: but instead of all this ado about the looting of supermarkets and shops, what we really should be doing is examining the systematic and multi-million looting of a "cornerstone" of the Chilean economy - copper mining - that is being quietly carried on by the large mining companies.

The contribution to domestic production of copper from CODELCO [1] was only 28% in 2007. Yet this company has contributed over US$21 billion to the Treasury since 2005. But the contribution from all the other corporations who control the bulk of production, however, goes no higher than a measly US$5 billion! What is this, if not looting on a grand scale from under the noses of the whole people, with the collusion of businessmen and politicians?

Over the period of the Bachelet government alone, the multinational copper-mining corporations have made off with US$70 billion thanks to all sorts of tricks to avoid paying duties and only a few years ago were forced to start paying royalties, though the amounts involved are laughable. For decades the Chilean people have had their main resource - copper - stolen without any shame. These are the thieves that worry me and these are the looters who are really screwing the whole country [2].

But they are not the only ones who are stealing what belongs to the whole people. The army, now posing as guardians of the common good, have been robbing the country for decades through the 10% tax on sales of copper that goes directly to their coffers. This privilege should be done away with as soon as possible so that these funds can be used in ways that benefit the people.

When you look at these figures, you can see who the real thieves in Chile are. If we stop this looting, the country will have enough money to rebuild without having to borrow from loan-sharks who would then go on plundering the people of Chile through the debt.

For this reason it is important that popular organizations apply pressure on the Chilean State for two pressing measures that the ruling classes in this country will never introduce of their own accord, since they either benefit from this plunder or have no interest in stopping it:
1. Re-nationalize copper2. Cancel the 10% tax on sales of copper for the benefit of the Armed Forces.We therefore spread this invitation to stop the shameless looting in Chile. It is a task that involves the whole people.
José Antonio Gutiérrez D.5 March 2010
Translation by FdCA-International Relations Office.
Notes:

1. CODELCO (Corporación Nacional del Cobre de Chile - National Copper Corporation of Chile) is the State's copper-mining company. It was founded after foreign-owned companies were nationalized in 1971.

Woman and Children Facing Threat of Violence Left Hanging by Toronto Community Housing‏
Woman and Children Facing Threat of Violence Left Hanging by Toronto Community Housing

Picket TCH Head Office,

931 Yonge Street,

Thursday, March 11, 11.30 AM

Yen Tang reported serious threats from a male neighbour to the police. The Catholic Childrens' Aid Society took the matter seriously enough that they wrote a letter saying that the children should not be living where they were. TCH staff told Yen that she would be placed on an emergency transfer list, a home in another part of the City was suggested and she was told that it would be ready within three months.

Not able to stay in the place while she waited for the transfer, Yen and her kids moved in temporarily with some friends in another TCH community. However, local staff informed the friend that her rental subsidy would be taken away if Yen continued to stay there. She and her children have now had to move into a place that is far from their school. They are having to double up in a situation that is not sustainable for anyone involved.

After three months, Yen visited the unit she had been promised and saw no signs of work having been carried out on it. She checked in and was told that the male neighbour was denying the threats and the transfer was now on hold. An OCAP delegation went to TCH to deal with this. We explained that the issue was not to decide anyone's guilt beyond reasonable doubt but to act decently and reasonably in the face of a very likely threat to the safety of a family. Yen was put back on the transfer list, with the usual pretense that the decision to remove her was a miscommunication.

Yen and her kids have been waiting much longer than the promised three months and a recent letter to TCH asking when the matter would be resolved has gone unanswered. This family has suffered enough and faced enough disruption. They have a right to a decent and safe home.

Please support our action to win this basic right for Yen Tang and her children.

Seventh Grader Suspended For Touching Pill
Judy Molland
It all happened on February 23 at River Valley Middle School in Jeffersonville, Indiana. Seventh grader Rachel Greer was in the locker room during fifth period gym class when a fellow student walked in with a bag of pills.

"She was talking to another girl and me about them and she put one in my hand and I was like, ‘I don't want this,' so I put it back in the bag and I went to gym class," said Rachel. The pills were the prescription ADHD drug, Adderall, and after years of training under the DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program, Rachel knew she had to "Just Say No.

"But that wasn't the end of it. During sixth period, an assistant principal came and took Rachel out of class. It turned out that the girl who originally had the pills and a few other students got caught. Then came the shocker: "We're suspending you for five days because it was in your hand," the administrator told Rachel. Apparently he told the girl that he was very sorry he had to do it, but the rules are the rules. District officials later said that if they're not strict about drug policies no one will take them seriously.

What lesson can Rachel learn here? Because she said NO to illegal drugs and told the complete truth about what happened in the locker room, she was punished. Presumably she would also have been punished if she had said YES, so maybe next time she'll choose that route.

What does it take for school administrators to use some common sense? A policy, zero tolerance or any other, is a guideline. Every situation is different, and school officials need to be able to approach each situation individually, and make an appropriate decision, based on the relevant facts.

After hearing the news, Patty Greer, Rachel's mother, went to school officials to complain. "That's not a good policy," Greer said. "We're teaching our kids if you say no to drugs you're going to get punished; it's not right."

District officials were not impressed. Martin Bell, COO of Greater Clark County Schools, replied that the girl should not have put out her hand. "Someone hands them a pill or a drug or something like that and they say well I said no I didn't participate. Well the act of saying no is not to be there, not to be involved in the handling the, you know, they didn't have to put their hand out." (In case you're wondering, I am quoting Mr. Bell verbatim here.)

According to Greater Clark County Schools district policy, even a touch equals drug possession and a one week suspension. Wanna get a five-day vacation from school? Just say no, and get yourself suspended!

And this just in: When Mason Jammer, a kindergarten student at Jefferson Elementary in Ionia, Michigan, curled his fist into the shape of a gun Wednesday and pointed it at another student, school officials suspended the 6-year-old until Friday, saying the behavior made other students uncomfortable. Really? Couldn't the school find any other way to teach Mason not to make a gun with his hand? When will this madness stop.

Low Income People Crash Lavish Liberal Dinner Party‏

Low Income People Crash Lavish Liberal Dinner Party:OCAP Organizes to Raise Welfare/Disability Rates

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

See Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifeyMhTLWU4

On Thursday, February 25th, 2010, diners at a lavish Ontario Party Liberal fundraising event, which cost attendees $950 per plate and $9,500 a table,did not finish their meals in comfort.

Members of the Ontario Coalition Against Poverty (OCAP) organized to crash the fundraiser, at which Premier Dalton McGuinty was scheduled to speak,in an act of outrage at the fact that rich Liberal Party supporters could spend more on a meal than people on welfare and disability have to live on for a month. While the Liberals feast, literally thousands of people in this city go without food or shelter.

At about 7:00 p.m. at the Metro Convention Centre, 50 low income people and OCAP supporters managed to disrupt the fine dining and cocktails, walking past police and security and proceeding right to the front of the banquet hall. Just as hundreds of dinner attendees gathered in the reception area sipping on champagne, OCAP occupied the centre area chanting Raise the Rates and We are hungry, we’re angry, we won’t go away!. The group was loud, energetic and determined despite physical attacks by Toronto Police and Liberal Party members.

While they promise ‘poverty reduction strategies', the Liberals are doing all they can to eliminate Special Diet access, a benefit people can access to limit their poverty, if a medical provider considers it necessary. They have sent memos to welfare and ODSP offices giving untrained staff the right to evaluate and reject the diagnoses of health providers. This is leading to a huge reduction in access to this vital benefit. The loss of Special Diet income for the poor in Ontario will be a major cut in people's income. The reality is that people on social assistance live on incomes that have lost at least 40% of their spending power since 1995.

People are even poorer today than they were under Mike Harris. On Thursday OCAP organized to stop the attack on welfare and disability recipients, and to expose the hypocrisy of the Provincial government and their 'poverty reduction' veneer. Poverty is not comfortable - nor should rich supporters of McGuinty's Liberals be. In the midst of this economic crisis attacks on poor people have increased, and the potential of social cuts in the upcoming Provincial budget is very real and will mean an explosion of Poverty in Ontario.

That's why, On Apr 15, 2010 OCAP will hold a large mobilization against the Provincial Government.

We won’t pay for their crisis or their deficit.

We demand the right to decent income and a future free of poverty.

Raise the Rates by 40% Now!

Join us on April 15 and fight for the right to decent income!

Match Box Books with Nicole Coulson. Beginning with a small painted match box as the “cover”, create its content with bits of painted, drawn or collaged paper, in book form or not. Embellish its exterior, give it personality and broaden the definition of “book”. With a background in photography, calligraphy and bookbinding, Nicole’s work has shown in group exhibitions at the Centre culturel franco-manitobain, La Maison des artistes and the Mennonite Heritage Gallery, as well as in several books and publications.Crochet with Lynne Schulz. Learn crochet basics by creating medallions and granny squares. The stitches are simple and multiples can be made, to piece together into vests, scarves, capes, bags and more! Lynne Schulz enjoys working with my hands, whether it is gathering and growing her own seeds or hand spinning yarns for her fibre work. She is also a printmaker who has focused on the male nude in her prints and drawings. Currently she works as a welder in a fabrication/job-shop, and crochets during her lunch hours.

Fibre Dying with Kelly Ruth. Kelly will give an overview of two dye techniques commonly used in dying wools for knitting, and cotton for quilting and batik. She will be demonstrate the use of fiber reactive dyes and acid dyes, while emphasizing how to safely use the dyes in less than ideal workspaces. If you wish, bring small amounts of cotton or wool to dye for a project you are working on. Kelly Ruth is an emerging artist having spent a decade employed as the dyer/painter for the Royal Winnipeg Ballet’s wardrobe department. By working alongside many world-class artists during this period, she has learned much of what she has applied to her career as a painter. In the last three years she has exhibited in Miami, Florida, and Winnipeg at Cre8ery, The Piano Nobile Gallery and the Gas Station Theatre.

Doll Making with Jennie O. Make your own doll-icious lady, gent or creature! Many of Jennie O’s earlier endeavours were “below the radar”. She worked and exhibited in makeshift studios and self-published Latchkey, an all-girl art zinc. Jennie’s affinity for community and art led her to Art City, where she was the Studio Director for over four years. Best known for her dolls, Jennie also paints, draws and creates sculptures from found materials.

This event , held in Convocation Hall, third floor, Wesley Hall at the U of W will feature collective quilting along with opportunities for conversation about a variety of different IWW topics with eight different “guest quilters” (TBA by Feb 24, including some very special guests!!) who will be quilting and chatting alongside participants.

Bell Hooks writes that “The separation of grassroots ways of sharing feminist thinking across kitchen tables from the spheres where much of that thinking is generated, the academy, undermines feminist movement. It would further feminist movement if new feminist thinking could be once again shared in small group contexts, integrating critical analysis with discussion of personal experience”

So, with this year’s event we hope to bring the “kitchen table” into the academy by gathering women together to stitch a quilt top, and to talk about issues that are important to us as feminists, as scholars, as community members, and in our everyday lives. It is our goal to break down barriers between women working in our communities – and to raise the critical consciousness of those attending, whether they self-identify as feminist or not.

Delivered by Dr. Andrea Smith. Part of the 2010 Harry Daniels Distinguished Lecture series presented by the University of Winnipeg Aboriginal Governance Program. Talk to be held in 1L13 from 12:30 - 1:20 p.m.
