SUMMARY:Book Tour: We Are Not Able To Live in the Sky - the seductive promise of microfinance
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, September 6\, 6:30 p.m.\, author Mara Kardas-Nelson\, who grew up here in Olympia\, will speak at New Traditions Fair Trade about her recently published book\, We Are Not Able to Live in the Sky. \nThe book is a deeply reported work of journalism that explores the promises and perils of microfinance\, told through the eyes of those who work in small-scale lending\, and women borrowers in West Africa. \nMara Kardas-Nelson’s We Are Not Able to Live in the Sky is a story about unintended consequences\, blind optimism and the decades-long ramifications of seemingly small policy choices that reverberate around the world. It is a story of poor women doing their best to make ends meet under the toughest circumstances\, and of international development workers\, funders\, and advocates who promise a brighter future with a quick-fix solution that may ultimately trap poor people in poverty. The book is rooted in deeply immersive narratives of women who take out microfinance loans in Sierra Leone. Their stories are set against a detailed history of American foreign policy and how that shaped the meteoric rise of Muhammad Yunus’ lofty vision\, as well as the gradual shift from non-profit to for-profit approaches across international development and within microfinance and what that means for poor people around the world. \nSavvina Chowdhury\, Evergreen State College professor of political economy and member of the local group Economics for Everyone\, will participate in a Q & A with the author after the talk. \nRead more here about the book\, and at the entry for September 6th at New Tradition’s website.

SUMMARY:In the Court of the Conqueror - George Emilio Sanchez
DESCRIPTION:In the Court of the Conqueror is a solo performance piece by artist George Emilio Sanchez with projections and visual storytelling by visual artist Patty Ortiz. Together\, they confront the history of how the courts have diminished the Tribal Sovereignty of Native Nations. \nThe piece also tells the story of Sanchez’s experiences of navigating generational trauma regarding his Indigenous identity while being raised in an Ecuadorian immigrant household. The work focuses on several Federal Indian Landmark cases\, leading up to the Johnson v. McIntosh 1823 Supreme Court case that applied the Doctrine of Discovery that still holds legal precedent in our courts of the conqueror. Sanchez and Ortiz traveled across hundreds of geographic miles and ancestral homelands to create this interdisciplinary performance that combines text and video projects to reveal this country’s ongoing conflicts with Native Nations in search of Indigenous justice and sovereignty. \nTickets: $35 \nGroups of 10+ can purchase by calling the Box Office at 253.346.1721. \nFind out more at Tacoma Arts Live

SUMMARY:Int'l Day of Solidarity
DESCRIPTION:The date of 29 November is observed as the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People since 1978.

SUMMARY:Voices From the Holy Land Film Salon: Made Homeless in the Homeland: Lawfare\, Demolition\, and Land Theft -RCF cosponsored
DESCRIPTION:The Rachel Corrie Foundation is delighted to co-sponsor Voices From the Holy Land film salon Made Homeless in the Homeland: Lawfare\, Demolition\, and Land Theft on Sunday\, February 16.  Remember to register for this Zoom event. \nIn an ongoing policy of ethnic cleansing\, Israeli authorities uproot fruit trees\, raze farmland\, destroy rainwater reservoirs and irrigation systems\, and demolish homes. Meanwhile increasingly emboldened Israeli settlers — protected by soldiers — taunt families and vandalize property. The ultimate goal is to force Palestinians off the land. \nWith the world’s attention diverted by the war on Gaza\, displacement of West Bank Palestinians has increased dramatically in the past year. Our Salon will focus on Israel’s aggressive use of lawfare in its campaign of ethnic cleansing\, the longstanding efforts of Palestinians to nonviolently resist\, and the role of allies. \nWatch the curated film for free at your convenience. | Join the Q&A discussion with: \nBruno Sorrentino: London-based filmmaker specializing in longitudinal documentaries \nEid Suleman Hathaleen: Artist & human rights activist from Umm al Khair\, home demolished by IDF \nJeff Halper: Israeli-American anthropologist\, author\, lecturer\, and political activist;founder of Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions (ICAHD) \nMouin Rabbani (moderator): Co-Editor of Jadaliyya; researcher\, analyst\, and commentator \nRemember to register\n \nWatch the trailer:Tinyurl.com/VFHL-FebruaryTrailer \nThe trailer is helpful and optional. \nCosponsored by: \nRachel Corrie Foundation for Peace and Justice \nIf Americans Knew
