SUMMARY:Gente Sí\, Gentrify No: Resisting Displacement in Boyle Heights
DESCRIPTION:Public Housing and Activism Series Part III: GENTE SÍ\, GENTRIFY NO: RESISTING DISPLACEMENT IN BOYLE HEIGHTS \nTUESDAY\, MAY 9\, 2017\n5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m.\n\nPAB room 2355\, 2nd Floor\nUCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs\n337 Charles E. Young Drive East\, Los Angeles\, 90024 \n**Please RSVP as space is limited. \nLight refreshments will be provided. Please bring your own beverage** \nRSVP \nActivists\, residents\, and community members will come together to discuss the struggle against gentrification and displacement in Boyle Heights. Boyle Heights is at the epicenter of a spatially contested struggle for shelter in the midst of Los Angeles’ crisis of housing affordability. This renewed interest in the neighborhood comes after decades of disinvestment\, racial discrimination\, and substandard employment opportunities for its long-term residents. As a historic entry point for Mexican immigrants into the country\, gentrification in Boyle Heights has not only taken a toll on the neighborhood’s most vulnerable populations\, but it has eroded the vital social and cultural institutions of self-determination. But the threat of displacement has also inspired a rigorous and thriving social movement. In a moderated discussion\, panelists will explore the realities of gentrification and the organizing that has emerged as a response to provide context to the debate about gentrification in the neighborhood\, and similar debates taking place across Los Angeles. \nMODERATOR: \nAnanya Roy\, Professor of Urban Planning\, Social Welfare\, and Geography\, and Director of the Institute on Inequality and Democracy UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs \nPANELISTS: \nAlessandro Negrete\, Outreach Officer\, Boyle Heights Neighborhood Council\nElizabeth Blaney\, Co-Executive Director\, Union de Vecinos\nZacil Pech\, Founder\, Defend Boyle Heights\nNico Avina\, Co-Owner\, Espacio 1839 \nPrints made by Nico Avina will be provided! \n  \nPhoto: Josie Huang\, KPCC \nPhoto: Defend BoyleHeights \nPhoto: Flickr\, Liberty Hill Foundation \nPhoto: Monica Almeida for The New York Times \n  \nThe event is a project of the Graduate Student Group “Our Hoods\, Our Stories” whose work has been funded by the Institute on Inequality and Democracy at UCLA Luskin. \nThis event is also sponsored by The Ralph and Goldy Lewis Center for Regional Policy Studies and the UCLA Ziman Center for Real Estate \n

SUMMARY:Digital Tools for Resistance
DESCRIPTION:Is it still possible to resist? Snowden warned that the surveillance state had outgrown its legal jurisdiction and ethical mandate. While the public demanded changes to internet policy\, few fully grasped the new capacities of our government. Leak after leak illustrates the pervasiveness of spying and data collection on our everyday lives. Left with our devices\, we passively accept that our phones and computers tether us to this social surveillance dragnet. But\, what else can we do? \nJoin us for a workshop on Digital Tools for Resistance\, where we will discuss with representatives from ACLU SoCal and the Electronic Frontier Foundation the paradoxes of online organizing and the possibilities of networked activism. We will also demonstrate how to install and use Signal\, a free app that protects your privacy by encrypting your messages automatically. \nRSVP HERE \nWednesday\, May 10th\, 2017  \nReception | 6:30 p.m.\nPanel Conversations | 7:00 p.m.\nTech Demo: Signal | 8:06 p.m. \nWhere: \nDeCafé\, Perlof Hall\nUCLA Architecture and Urban Design\nLos Angeles\, California 90095 \nOn-site parking available for $12 in Parking Lot 2 (P2)\nTransit: Big Blue Bus\, Culver City Bus\, Metro \nAdditional Information \nEntrance is free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Do Words Matter? Journalism\, Communication and Alternative Truth
DESCRIPTION:White House adviser Steve Bannon has labeled the press the “opposition.” President Trump called them “the enemy of the American people.” What does this mean in a country in which democracy hinges on a free press? \nThe Luskin School is committed to the essential value of information and its effective communication through words. In a world in which journalists’ words “don’t matter\,” what happens next? \nJoin us for an examination of communication in the Trump era — a look at how the news media covered the 2016 campaign\, how Trump’s followers try to redefine the truth\, and the challenges of covering the White House today. \nThree panels will feature scholars from UCLA and elsewhere\, joined by media representatives from outlets such as USA Today\, the New York Times\, the Washington Post and the Los Angeles Times. They will examine the changing media landscape and its impact on coverage of the 2016 election and the Trump administration that resulted. The daylong event will conclude with a Luskin Lecture by Ray Suarez\, host of Inside Story on Al Jazeera America and a journalist with first-hand experience covering Donald Trump. \n12:30–2 p.m.\nThe 2016 Campaign and Media Impact\nDid mainstream media get it wrong in the 2016 presidential election? \n2:30–4 p.m.\nThe Face/Place of Media in the Trump Era\nWith a hostile White House\, how should reporters do their jobs? \n4:45–6:15 p.m.\nTruth or Trolls\nTruth in the Trump era; how online trolls turned one journalist’s life upside-down. \n \n7–8:30 p.m.\nLuskin Lecture: What an ‘Enemy of the American People’ Has to Do Now \nIn September 2017\, Ray Suarez will begin an appointment as the McCloy Visiting Professor of American Studies at Amherst College. He was recently the host of Al Jazeera America’s daily news program\, Inside Story\, and previously worked as a correspondent and anchor at the PBS NewsHour. Before PBS\, he was the Washington-based host of NPR’s Talk of the Nation. \nAlso an author\, Suarez wrote the companion to the PBS documentary series\, Latino Americans. He published an examination of the relationship between religion and electoral politics\, “The Holy Vote: The Politics of Faith in America.” His first book\, “The Old Neighborhood: What We Lost in the Great Suburban Migration\,” examined decades of transition in urban America. \nSuarez holds a BA in African History from New York University and an MA in the Social Sciences from University of Chicago. \nPresented by the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs in partnership with the Department of Political Science \nParking:  Available in Structures 7 or 8 on the UCLA campus \nTransit: Big Blue Bus\, Culver CityBus 6 and Metro Expo Line \nRSVP is required by May 23rd\, 2017.
