"Transgender people frequently face bias in court and are assigned unsupportive public defenders, factors which lead to more extreme sentences and longer incarcerations...Transgender people, especially transgender women of color, face pervasive discrimination throughout life, including by those sworn to protect us...I want to make sure that people understand that, behind this national conversation around transgender rights, there are real people who hurt when they're mocked, who hurt when they're discriminated against, and who just want to be treated with dignity and respect."
Delaware State Senator Sarah McBride (b.1990)
First person to publicly identify as transgender to be elected a State Senator;
American transgender rights activist, currently the National Press Secretary of the Human Rights Campaign

HAPPENING TODAY, SUNDAY, JUNE 27th, 2021

Can You Hear Us Now: Film Screening and Panel Discussion
hosted by Lean Left Vermont
Virtual Film Showing:
Sunday, June 27th 2021-Wednesday, June 30th, 2021
Panel Discussion:
Wednesday, June 30th, 2021, Online. 6pm.
Please register here: https://watch.showandtell.film/watch/llv
Through the stories of four determined Wisconsin women, the documentary Can You Hear Us Now, unravels the way years of one-party control has eroded democracy. As extreme partisanship has become the norm, Wisconsin voters find their lives are increasingly irrelevant to state lawmakers.
Lean Left Vermont is proud to host this special screening of a powerful new film that shows the personal and political impact in Wisconsin of anti-democratic policies and one of the most gerrymandered state legislative maps in the country.
The film is particularly relevant for us in 2021 when redistricting, at federal and state levels, looms large in states around the country. Our post-screening panel will feature activists from the film, along with Doug Poland, a lawyer fighting for fair maps in Wisconsin.
At the post film panel, you will hear how activists are fighting back in Wisconsin through elections, redistricting, and the courts. Join Lean Left Vermont's post-screening panel to hear about how activists are fighting back against gerrymandering and other anti-democratic measures in Wisconsin. Lean Left Vermont's Ann Smith will lead a conversation with Law Forward's Doug Poland, film subjects Rebecca Clarke and Sheila Plotkin, and filmmakers Jim Cricchi & Susan Peters.
This event is free to join but we strongly encourage you to make a donation that will raise funds for two organizations that are leading the fight in Wisconsin. You can donate here to Law Forward and Citizen Action of Wisconsin.

You can reserve your spot in the series by signing up for the event at https://www.eventbrite.com/.../parenting-for-liberation-a...
Join Amber and Angela and a group of parents to share joys and challenges of parenting for social and healing justice. We'll hold space for grief, laughter, ideas and resource sharing, begin to practice somatic embodied skills, and heal together. We are all carrying so much, let's support each other in making the load lighter and building the resilience and resources necessary to parent in a way that aligns our actions with our embodied values.
We recommend coming to all three sessions, but welcome people to sign up if they can come to at least two sessions. 
Our cost is $0-$100 per week, sliding scale. To choose what you will pay please see our sliding scale guide (https://docs.google.com/.../1apg7.../edit...). We value EVERYTHING each person brings to the workshop, not just financial support. AND: we gotta get paid to keep putting on workshops. We do a lot of unpaid racial justice and healing work, and facilitating these workshops is our paid work. We charge using a sliding scale. It isn’t a perfect way to correct for the unfair, harmful economic system we live in, but it’s a start.
This chat series is limited to 20 participants. Register today at https://www.eventbrite.com/.../parenting-for-liberation-a...
We hope to see you at this chat series. If you are interested, and can't make it to these dates, let us know so we can get another series scheduled soon.

UPCOMING EVENTS

Brattleboro Democracy Forum: “Is There Democracy In America?"
organized by: wecelebratedemocracycivilrightsforall.org
Tuesday, July 6th, 2021, Online. 6:30pm. For more information please contact [email protected] or 802 464 3154.
Nick Biddle, Tim Kipp and friends will explore the question, "Is there Democracy in America?” Please join the discussion. The program will be recorded and will be aired on BCTV and FM WVEW 107.7.
Nick says: If we assume a basic definition of democracy as “government of the people, by the people, and for the people,” how does today’s status quo stack up? Tim and Nick will review several of the major barriers obstructing people from democratic participation. Examples are voter suppression, campaign finance, and the Republican Party’s racist politics of grievance. They will look to connect the dots in order to shed light on the material results, (i.e. dysfunctional government exacerbating extreme wealth inequality). Today’s multiple challenges compel an honest appraisal of the political landscape.
Tim Kipp, taught US history, political science and law for 39 years. He has been a political activist since the 1960s
Nick Biddle, PhD,  retired professor of Latin American history, and  Brattleboro resident since 2013

Brattleboro Premiere of Sisters Rising
presented by Windham World Affairs Council
Thursday, July 8th, 2021 at 118 Elliot Gallery (118 Elliot Street, Brattleboro, VT, 05301). 7pm.
Pre-register for the film at https://www.eventbrite.com/.../wwac-presents-sisters...
The event will be held Thursday, July 8, 2021, 7:00 pm at 118 Elliot. Like all WWAC events, the screening of Sisters Rising is free and open to the public. A suggested $10 donation will be accepted at the door. Capacity is limited. Folks who have not received the Corona Virus vaccine are required to wear a mask during this event.
As a part of the celebration of the 60th anniversary of Windham World Affairs council, Sisters Rising tackles the global issue of violence against indigenous women as a powerful feature documentary about six Native American women reclaiming personal & tribal sovereignty. Q&A with the filmmakers will follow the screening.
Native American women are 2.5 times more likely to experience sexual assault than all other American women. 1 in 3 Native women report having been raped during her lifetime and 86% of the offenses are committed by non-Native men. These perpetrators exploit gaps in tribal jurisdictional authority and target Native women as ‘safe victims’. Sisters Rising follows six women who refuse to let this pattern of violence continue in the shadows: a tribal cop in the midst of the North Dakota oil boom, an attorney fighting to overturn restrictions on tribal sovereignty, an Indigenous women’s self-defense instructor, grassroots advocates working to influence legislative change, and the author of the first anti-sex trafficking code to be introduced to a reservation’s tribal court. Their stories shine an unflinching light on righting injustice on both an individual and systemic level.
Sisters Rising was directed and produced by Brattleboro filmmakers, and Marlboro College alumni Willow O’Feral and Brad Heck who respectively directed and co-produced the award-winning documentary Break the Silence: Reproductive & Sexual Health Stories. Sisters Rising was coproduced by Jaida Grey Eager (Oglala Lakota), with executive producer Tantoo Cardinal (Cree/Metis).
"The abhorrent violence that is a constant in the lives of Indigenous peoples impacts Indigenous women first,” says Co-producer Jaida Grey Eagle (Oglala Lakota), “We are on the frontlines of an ongoing legacy of violent colonization, and it is vitally important that the world see and hear us.”
Sisters Rising is the recipient of the Best Film Award - Women’s Voices Now Film Festival - 2021; Best Documentary Feature Award - American Indian Film Festival - 2020; Thaddeus Stevens Award - Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival - 2020; Honorable Mention Big Sky Award - Big Sky Film Festival – 2020.
"In a portrait of six brave participants who refuse to let a pattern of violence against Native women continue on in the shadows, this film shines an unflinching and ultimately uplifting light onto righting injustice on both an individual and systemic level." - Big Sky Jury Statement about Sisters Rising.
Windham World Affairs Council is celebrating its 60th year bringing topics and issues of global importance to the people of Windham County with free, high-quality programming.
