HOUSTON, TX

FRI JAN 22 - 6:00 PM

TEXAS SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY Public Affairs Building

BLMHTX-TSU

Collisions, Connections, & Intersections A BLMHTX symposium of art, film and critical dialogue about creating communities where ALL black lives matter. The College of Liberal Arts and Behavioral Sciences (COLABS) at TxSU and the Center for Engaged Research and Collaborative Learning (CERCL) at Rice University invites the Houston community to join BLMHTX for another experience of art, creative imagination and critical dialogue. The issues that impact black people are not one-dimensional, but are varied and interconnected. Racism often collides with, connects to, and intersects with other forms of oppression and fear, such as classism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia. This symposium will explore variousparts of what is a complex web of oppressions and highlight what weaves them together. The community will not only be able to reflect on the multilayered nature of the issues that face black communities, but also be given a space to imagine and consider broad approaches that will enable all of us to engage in the work of building communities where black lives matter. Moderating: · Josie Pickens, TSU professor, cultural critic, & writer with Ebony.com · Anthony Collier TSU student activist & Co-founder, Southern Student Leadership Association Featured Panelists: · Stevens Orozco, TSU student activist · Roni-Dean Burren, Education activist, UH doctoral student · Drs. Carla Brailey (TSU) and Anthony B. Pinn (Rice); · Fran Watson, LGBTQ and political activist; · Dee Dee Watters, prominent Houston trans-community activist This symposium will also have a "live" Q&A via twitter with panelists and artists. Follow us on Instagram & Twitter @blmhtx to join the discussion. There will be limited seating for this event. Guaranteed seating will only be reserved for those who register.

Repost @soulrevision I told y'all 2015 is the #YearOfResistance. Are you in? If so, take the pledge http://Bit.ly/YearofResistance I pledge to make 2015 my year of resistance to state violence against Black lives. I challenge myself and those in my community to take risks as we confront the many ways that Black lives are diminished and taken from us. This pledge is in defense of ALL black lives. We stand with Black men and women. We act when Black Queer and Trans lives are threatened. We defend the rights of our Black family when we are poor, disabled and incarcerated. I will elevate their names. I pledge to practice resilience. As I make space for direct action and civil disobedience, I will also act for the healing of our communities and make space for my own healing so I may be a part of this movement for the long-haul. This year, I will declare boldly and loudly through my words and actions, that #BlackLivesMatter. #NewYearsRevolution

MARBURY PLAZA 2300 Good Hope Road SE

Justice for Alonzo Smith Rally

On November 1, 2015, Alonzo Smith called out for help from people he said were trying to kill him.When DC police arrived, they found two 'Special Police'Marbury Apartment security guards with the power to detain, standing over his body. But instead of arresting the guards and providing information to the family, DC police initially called it a 'justifiable homicide' and have not released information. It looks like DC police are covering this up as if it were one of their own.We demand to know what happened.We demand justice. --------------------------D E M A N D S:-------------------------- **Identify and charge the private police force and officers in the killing of Alonzo Smith; **Full disclosure of what happened that night to Alonzo Smith; **Make laws and policies around private/special police transparent; **The United Nations or Organization of American States conduct a truly independent investigation into Alonzo’s death and DC police's lack of transparency in this case; **Community control over police; PLEASE also support the Alonzo Fiero Smith Fund https://www.gofundme.com/yx8en9mk
