PPLA is one of the largest Planned Parenthood affiliates in the country\, with close to 250\,000 patient visits each year and providing comprehensive sex education in schools and communities across L.A. County. \nDunlap’s twenty year career with Planned Parenthood has included work with the Planned Parenthood Federation of America leading advocacy efforts in battleground states across the country\, as well as with Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California as a registered lobbyist ensuring that California’s public policy framework truly aspires to reproductive health and justice for all Californians. \nPrior to her work with Planned Parenthood\, Dunlap worked as an award-winning producer for public radio. \nDunlap is an accomplished public speaker and author who has been recognized and honored by numerous organizations\, including the American Political Science Association\, the California Legislature\, and Equality California. \nLorri L. Jean is nationally recognized as one of the most effective leaders in the lesbian\, gay\, bisexual and transgender (“LGBT”) civil rights movement.  Jean serves as CEO of the\nLos Angeles LGBT Center\, the world’s largest LGBT organization. Previously\, Jean served as the Executive Director of the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force. OUT Magazine has twice named her one of the 50 most powerful gay people in the nation\, Los Angeles magazine named her one of L.A.’s 100 most influential people and in 2014 it named her one of the ten most inspiring women in Los Angeles. \nJean has been an activist on LGBT issues since 1979. She was one of the lead plaintiffs in the successful landmark lawsuit against Georgetown University in the 1980’s to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation. She also was the first openly LGBT person to receive a top secret security clearance from the Central Intelligence Agency. In 1989\, with her appointment as Deputy Regional Director of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (“FEMA”)\, she became the highest-ranking openly LGBT person in the Federal government. \nWhile serving at the helm of the Center\, Jean has driven a period of unprecedented expansion\, increasing revenues from $8 to $97 million and the numbers of people served every month to more than 42\,000. While running the Task Force\, Jean oversaw an organizational turnaround that brought the organization to financial solvency and increased annual revenues to an all-time high. \nJean and her wife of 25 years\, attorney Gina M. Calvelli\, live in Hollywood. They were legally married in 2008. \nAngelica Salas is the Executive Director of the Coalition for Humane Immigrant Rights of Los Angeles (CHIRLA)\, and is widely regarded as one of the most gifted activist/organizers in the country today. \nSince becoming CHIRLA’s director in 1999\, Salas has spearheaded and won several ambitious campaigns. She helped win in-state tuition and access to financial aid for undocumented immigrant students\, and most recently helped win drivers licenses for the undocumented community in California. Salas is also a leading national spokesperson and organizer on federal immigration policy. She is a prominent figure in ethnic and mainstream press and is often quoted on the all issues related to immigrant well-being. \nUnder Salas’ leadership\, CHIRLA and its national partners have built the foundation for the upsurge in immigrant rights activism. She is a leader in national coalitions of organizations which have successfully mobilized millions of immigrants to demand comprehensive immigration reform with a path to citizenship\, family reunification\, and protection of civil and labor rights. One of her greatest accomplishments at CHIRLA has been the transformation of a social service provision coalition into a statewide mass membership organization that empowers immigrants to engage in advocacy on their own behalf. Today CHIRLA weaves together organizing\, electoral civic engagement\, community education\, policy advocacy and legal services to fully engage and empower immigrant families. \nSalas comes by her understanding of the immigrant experience firsthand. As a five year old\, Angelica came to the U.S. from Mexico to rejoin her undocumented parents who had come to the U.S. to provide for their family. She grew up in Pasadena\, California\, and is a graduate of Occidental College.

SUMMARY:Thinking Gender\, Imagining Reparations
DESCRIPTION:Star cluster image courtesy of NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. \nThinking Gender\, Imagining Reparations\n27th Annual Thinking Gender Graduate Student Research Conference \nThis year’s conference theme\, Imagining Reparations\, engages contemporary social\, scholarly\, and literary movements that push to reimagine and retheorize what freedom\, justice\, health\, and care can look like. Historically\, reparations have taken financial form with governments recognizing victims of perceived injustice by awarding them money. Such practices have depended on and have defined the law and dominant ideas of justice within states and empires. By contrast\, marginalized groups today are reframing reparations as capable of addressing historical and ongoing abuses\, evident in law itself and manifest in biological\, environmental\, educational\, technological\, institutionalized\, political\, and diplomatic violence. The daring to imagine new forms of reparative justice emerges from raced\, gendered\, and sexualized subjectivities\, which inform movements that devastate the binary between theory and practice in their struggle to be whole. A broad and intersectional investment in reparations challenges the assigning of rights and privileges in the past\, and it is an important tool in recasting the structures that impact our daily lives. \nThinking Gender 2017\, Imagining Reparations\, takes a cue from movements that conceive of violence and reparative justice intersectionally with consequences that shape and are shaped by gender\, sexuality\, race\, class\, ability\, etc. We invite presentations of work from across disciplines that embodies this intersectional ethos and\, in particular\, envision reparations through the lens of gender and sexuality. Conference sessions will include ample time for discussion of work\, emphasizing dialogue discussion\, writing as important modes of conference participation\, and exploring their potential as feminist\, decolonial tools for learning and action. Imagining Reparations aims to create cohesion among a broad range of disciplinary engagements\, theoretical stances\, and practical applications by providing space for thinking together about the role of the academy in theorizing tools for collective liberation from gendered and racialized violence.

We will not silently bear witness but will fight back by producing knowledge\, constructing alliances\, and building system-wide coalitions across the University of California.

SUMMARY:Day of Remembrance 75th Anniversary: Executive Orders Disrupting Lives
DESCRIPTION:Executive Orders: Disrupting Lives Then (9066) and Now (13769)\n\nJoin us to mark the passage of 75 years since the signing of executive order 9066\, the action by President Roosevelt that led to the incarceration of over 120\,000 Japanese Americans during World War II. \n75 years later\,  the importance of remembering this day in American history has never been more critical.  With the signing of executive order 13769 on January 27\, 2017 targeting Muslims in the name of “Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States\,” Japanese Americans and civil rights activists responded enmasse showing up to protest at airports across the country when reports surfaced of people being detained or denied entry.  While resistance today is strong\, fear and uncertainty is affecting daily life and family decisions\, much like 1942. \nCome hear from activists and filmmakers about what is happening today to resist and what can be learned from events of 75 years ago. \nSpeakers:\nSasha W.\, National Queer Asian Pacific Islander Alliance\, \nTaz Ahmed – 18MR\, #GoodMuslimBadMuslim podcast\, \nTani Ikeda\, imMEDIAte Justice \nModerator:\nLisa Hasegawa\, Asian American Studies Center Activist in Residence \nProgram will feature Nikkei Democracy Project Videos–A rapid response series of short videos that will use the power of the Japanese American story to challenge the alarming rise of anti-Muslim sentiment and threats to civil liberties and information and previews from other documentaries in the making. \nDownloadable Flyer
