Young LGBT Leaders Of Color
Originally printed 12/27/2012 (Issue 2052 - Between The Lines News)
Kirsten Ussery
Meet Kirsten Ussery: She has worked on behalf of LBGT children in the Detroit Public Schools and her leadership in the lesbian women of color support group SPICE - Sistas Providing Intelligence, Creativity and Empowerment. She has also become part of the young brain trust dedicated to the city's renaissance. She belongs to the inner circle of one of Detroit's most influential politicians, City Council President Charles Pugh, who, in 1999, ran as an openly gay candidate. Working closely with organizations like the Downtown Detroit Partnership and Business Leaders for Michigan, she has been privy to plans for the city's revitalization. Ussery is truly not afraid of a challenge.

Ryan Oliver
Meet Ryan Oliver: At 28, Oliver's view of manhood has been hard-won. From his youth in a violent Detroit neighborhood, to his isolation as a black college student in a white environment, he has struggled to define himself and his masculinity. It's a challenge that's been even more daunting because Oliver is biologically female. As his journey to adulthood took a toll on Ryan's cultural footing and his confidence suffered, he found support in the words of his sociology professor at EMU. Today, Ryan uses the passion ignited by his professor to advocate on behalf of the invisible transgendered community.

Adrienne Maree Brown
Meet Adrienne Maree Brown: Since her early 20s, Adrienne has worked on the ground floor of social movements in order to hone her skills. From 2006 to 2010, she was the executive director of The Ruckus Society, a California-based organization that trains activists in non-violent direct action. Today, Adrienne helps social justice groups and progressive movements as an organizational guru, a facilitator, a networker and a life couch. While her organizational consulting takes her nationwide, her home base is Detroit's Cass Corridor, working closely with groups like the Food Justice Task Force and the East Michigan Environmental Council.

Royale Theus
Meet Royale Theus: As a member of an African American LGBT health organization, Royale went to Detroit's Palmer Park to pass out health information. After graduation, he eventually landed a job in the Detroit Health Department's HIV mobile testing unit, bringing healthcare services to soup kitchens, methadone clinics and distressed neighborhoods. When he was only 20, the Detroit native discovered he was going to be a father. It wasn't exactly what he had planned for his future. "Having a son saved my life," said Theus, whose son is now 11. But instead of throwing him into a tailspin, fatherhood was a wake-up call. "He was my 'Stay Out of Jail' card. I knew there was someone depending on me."

Rosemary Linares
Meet Rosemary Linares: Rosemary is a bubbly 29-year-old with a master's degree from New York University, a supportive husband and an adorable stepson. From the outside, it looks like she has it all, including what she calls "heterosexual privilege." What is not so obvious is that Linares is a bisexual Latina. In 2010, Rosemary founded Cross Movement Social Justice Consulting to advance social justice by increasing the capacity of nonprofit organizations and building alliances across social movements. Last year, she joined the board of Detroit Latin@s, a community based group formed to bring greater influence and visibility to the Latino/a LGBT and straight allied community.

Tony Johnson
Meet Tony Johnson: Johnson, is disabled and lives on a fixed income. In 1993, he discovered that he was HIV-positive, but the virus has been undetectable in his blood since 2004. In 2005 Tony got involved in KICK's mission to create a stigma-free, safe space for LGBT African Americans who are HIV-positive. Johnson was so taken by the mission, he started catching the bus three days a week to manage KICK's calls and to become an intake specialist. But don't bother talking to Johnson about his leadership in Detroit's African American, LGBT community, it would only embarrass him. He's more interested in talking about service and change.
By Desiree Cooper BTL, May 24, 2012
Bre'Ann Campbell
Meet Bre'Ann Campbell: After being denied housing for being trans, Bre'Ann took her case to Equality Michigan and the Michigan Department of Civil Rights and was launched into the public spotlight. Although investigators could not make a sufficient case that she had been the victim of discrimination, the incident awakened an activist within her. Bre'Ann didn't set out to change the world, but in the process of finding herself this confident 26-year-old Detroiter has become an unwitting advocate for trans women everywhere.
By Desiree Cooper BTL, June 28, 2012
Marland Colyer
Meet Martin Colyer: This 29-year-old Chicago native, who moved to Detroit last December, has a lot of big plans for changing the world through leadership. After graduating from KICK's first Learn, Educate, Advocate and Drive (LEAD) program in May, Martin said he has the tools to make those dreams come true. And to Colyer's surprise, his chance for an out-front role would come before he left the LEAD class. His classmates unanimously voted that he should give the class' graduation speech. Though he's not sure where his love of helping people, especially those in the LGBT community, will take him, he says he is sure whatever he does he will be able to make a positive difference.

Kibibi Blount-Dorn
Meet Kibibi Blount-Dorn: Kibibi loves food. It's not just its flavors, smells and textures, or even the process of turning ingredients into a meal. For her, its about food's story from the farm to the table and the people and places it touches along the way. But it's more than that. Since accepting a job as program manager of the Detroit Food Policy Council, Kibibi has worked closely with the council to improve access to healthy food, advocate for urban agriculture and to bring broader education about food and health to Detroit.
By Andrea Poteet BTL, Sept. 6, 2012
Lance Hicks
Meet Lance Hicks: Growing up Detroit's Northwest side, Lance did not have it easy in school. Growing up with a white parent and a black parent, his peers would deny him his identity, only seeing a white man. But his race is not the only part of his identity people often misread. Hicks, 22, has been correcting them about his gender since coming out as transgender at 15. After coming out, Lance's mother would drive him to Affirmations' youth group every week. There his passion for activism emerged. He become involved in OSASS, Oakland County Substance Abuse Services and through Affirmations, he helped organize a Midwest trans youth conference that ran from 2007 to 2009.

Roland Leggett
Meet Roland Leggett: For Roland, absence from Michigan not only made him fonder of his home state, it made him roll up his sleeves and start fighting to change it. In 2009, Leggett had just moved back to Michigan after working for Obama for America in Chicago. He said moving from progressive Chicago back to a state with so much anti-LGBT legislation was a shock. When he returned, he started working for ACLU of Michigan for two years before landing in his current job as a field organizer at Equality Michigan. Roland didn't like what he saw when he got back to Michigan, so he started trying to change it.
By Andrea Poteet BTL, Nov. 1, 2012
Alfredo Smith
Meet Alfredo Smith: Anyone working for a nonprofit organization that fights against AIDS with information, outreach and support is obviously driven by a desire to do good and help those in need. But while that is also the case for Alfredo Smith, who has worked with AIDS Partnership Michigan for five years, he admits that what initially drew him to his first AIDS-related volunteer stint, with Ruth Ellis Center's Young Brothers United, was something a bit more practical. Condoms. But though he came for the freebies, Alfredo stayed for the one-on-one connections he was making with the 13-to-24-year old men the program targeted - connections that would lead him to the work he does today.

Rupee hits over one-month low as oil, inflation hurt
MUMBAI (Reuters) - The rupee weakened to its lowest level in more than a month on Monday as surging crude oil prices threatened to push up domestic inflation pressures and aggravate the country's current account deficit.
Alongside, data showed wholesale price inflation in India accelerated to a five-month high of 6.01 percent in May, which further hurt the rupee and pulled it down intraday to 60.23 per dollar, a level last seen on May 6.
Brent crude rose towards $113 a barrel on Monday after a strong rally last week, as Sunni insurgents advanced in Iraq, intensifying concerns over a potential disruption to oil exports from the second-largest OPEC producer.
India imports nearly two-thirds of its oil needs, leaving its currency especially vulnerable to price swings.
Traders were also seen buying the greenback as they looked to square off their short dollar positions.
"As long as the Iraq crisis continues, this should be the trend for the time being. And, if RBI doesn't intervene, and the Iraq crisis continues, it will definitely remain below 60 to the dollar," said Ashtosh Raina, head of forex trading at HDFC Bank.
The central bank is expected to buy or sell dollars to prevent any excessive volatility in the currency.
In recent months, the central bank has been aggressively buying dollars to prevent sharp gains in the rupee from hurting export growth while also building up its foreign exchange reserves.
The partially convertible rupee ended at 60.1550/1650 per dollar versus its previous close of 59.76/77 on Friday.
Equities also fell on Monday, to their lowest close in 1-1/2 weeks on risk aversion among investors due to tensions in Iraq and Ukraine.
Traders will now focus on whether the dollar can gain more should the U.S. Federal Reserve provide new hints on the timing of interest rate hikes when it concludes its two-day policy meeting on Wednesday.
For the near-term, traders expect the rupee to trade in a 59.90/60.20 range.
In the offshore non-deliverable forwards, the one-month contract was at 60.52, while the three-month was at 61.11.

Watch Jon Snow Silently Brood Again and Again
Game of Thrones' penultimate episode centered entirely on Jon Snow's efforts to rally the troops against a brutal assault, but Snow (Kit Harrington) has never been known for his skills as an orator. Instead, the "traitor's bastard" is mostly known for his angst-ridden emotional expressions.
As a tribute to Snow's star turn in the defense of Castle Black, we've compiled a roundup of Snow doing what he does best: brooding.

To ensure that the BJP campaign is Ĺstar-poweredĺ, the party on Monday decided that all its star campaigners would campaign in the national capital, irrespective of campaigns in their own constituencies.
For the same, the party has listed out the names of 43 Ĺexpected star campaignersĺ this Lok Sabha elections, which include senior leaders such as L K Advani, Sushma Swaraj, Arun Jaitley and its prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi.
Since all those names on the star campaigners list are themselves contesting elections in various parts of the country, the party has asked them to spare a day for the Delhi candidates.
ôElections for Sushmajiĺs and Arun Jaitleyjiĺs constituencies will be later (after the elections in Delhi). They can spare some time for the capital in between,ö a senior leader said.
Other star campaigners for the party include senior leaders Nitin Gadkari, M M Joshi, Vinod Khanna, Smriti Irani, N S Sidhu, Vani Tripathi.
Chief ministers Raman Singh, Shivraj Singh Chauhan, Vasundhara Raje Schindia, Prakash Singh Badal and former chief ministers Prem Kumar Dhumal and B C Khanduri also figure on the list.
All seven contesting from the Lok Sabha constituencies in Delhi LS seats Ś Pravesh Sahib Singh, Ramesh Bidhuri, Harsh Vardhan, Manoj Tiwari, Udit Raj, Maheish Girri and Meenakshi Lekhi Ś will also campaign as as star campaigners.
Modi will be addressing a rally on March 26 at Shastri park in trans Yamuna.
ôThe star campaigners have voiced their concern as all of them are fighting elections themselves. Addressing this issue, the party has drawn an extensive list of the expected campaigners,ö the senior leader said.
ôThe party will finalise the dates with them soon. Meanwhile, the Delhi candidates are sending in their choices for their favourite campaigners,ö the leader said.

Ready and Willing: A Vyasa Puja Offering
Diary of a Traveling Preacher – Volume 9, Chapter 15 – August 25, 2008
By Indradyumna Swami
< ?php the_ttftext ($text = "Ready and Willing: A Vyasa Puja Offering", $echo = true, $style="President", $overrides=""); ?>
My dear Srila Prabhupada,
Please accept my most humble obeisances in the dust of your lotus feet. All glories to you!
Your Vyasa-puja is one of the favorite days of the year for us, your disciples and followers, because it gives us the chance to express our gratitude for everything you have done for us. Not a day goes by in my life that I do not think of you and reflect on the many transcendental treasures you have so kindly bestowed upon me.
Sometimes, to further appreciate your mercy, I look at persons my age who have not had the good fortune to receive your blessings. Busy with the affairs of this world, they slowly act out their destinies, sometimes going through so-called happiness, sometimes distress. Whatever their situation, they lead ordinary lives at best, with little or no knowledge of the soul, of God, or of the spiritual world.
I would have led a similar life had you not intervened, and I feel eternally indebted to you. It was you and you alone who broke the shackles of my miserable fate and set me free on the path of devotional service to the Lord.
Since meeting you, I have seen every moment of my life enriched by Krsna consciousness. What can compare with the chanting of the holy names that you so kindly bestowed upon us, letting us taste the highest love and bliss? Or the knowledge you spoke, which destroys the darkness born of ignorance, enlightening us from within?
And what within this world equals one single moment of association with devotees who have taken shelter of you? Who can imagine what a pitiable state this planet would be in had such devotees not traveled far and wide sharing your treasure of wisdom with others?
And who among us can fathom the great fortune that still lies ahead as long as we remain faithful to your teachings and help you in your mission? By helping you, we qualify ourselves to serve you in the spiritual sky, where you now associate with your beloved Lord in a mellow of love, the nature of which we have yet to see or understand.
My innermost desire is to join you one day in those eternal pastimes, but I feel hopeless at this stage, for my resumé of devotional qualifications is meager at best. Nevertheless, I am as determined as ever to work toward that goal. I stand before you today, ready and willing to help you in your mission in any way you choose, even if it should mean taking birth again.
Please bless me, then, that in any future birth I may remain an effective instrument in your hands and that I may always remember the supreme goal of life: to serve Radha and Krsna. Please bless me that wherever you send me I may maintain my preaching spirit and that I may always have a taste for chanting the holy names.
Should I be born again, I pray to always be surrounded by your loving servants and free from intimate association with the opposite sex and from the entanglement of householder life. May I always, in every birth, respect all living entities as eternal servants of the Lord, and may my compassion for them deepen with each day. I pray that your books may remain the guiding light in this life and the next and that I may never forget your kindness upon me.
And finally, my beloved lord and master, when you are satisfied that your mission in this world has been accomplished, please call me to your lotus feet and take me home to the eternal pleasure groves of Sri Vrindavan Dhama to be with you again.
ayam avilolatayadya sanatana kalitadbhuta rasa bharam nivasatu nityam ihamrita nindini vindan madhurima saram
"O Sanatana! Your lotus feet surpass even the nectar of the gods. Finding in this lotus flower of your feet the essence of sweetness which is endowed with truly wonderful mellows, I pray that today the bee of my mind will eternally reside there."[Srila Rupa Goswami, Stava-mala]
Your eternal servant, Indradyumna Swami.

Our Pet of the Week is always a beautiful and wonderful animal looking to be adopted into his or her new family. Visit our online animal adoption center to view all up to date animal adoption opportunities!

Question for SA Child care workers Reg the EYLF
Started by girltribe4 , Feb 07 2013 10:08 PM
1 reply to this topic
Posted 07 February 2013 - 10:08 PM
I am a Family day carer trying to get on top of the new EYLF and all the associated paperwork . I have a Diploma (from the Uk in 1996) so am ''trained'' and very experienced but I am still finding it a LOT for one person to cope with on top of being a sole parent (husband works away all year) for 4 daughters .
So I am just wondering how it is working in the Long day care setting ? I am wondering if they have really thought through this ''One size fits all system'' ?
Do the team leaders/room leaders do all the planning and the childcare workers do the observations ? Or is one person doing everything for one room/one age group ?
Posted 07 February 2013 - 10:22 PM
OP, I'm NSW and LDC. I have found the transition easy and gradual. I have a lot of organisational support. I don't see the EYLF at all as a one size fits all system but rather a - this is how what I/we do links to the framework.
I am very happy to give more specific assistance. What planning and documentation are you using? How are you currently documenting children's learning? I can be more specific if I know what you are currently doing and what you are trying to achieve.
Also, if you are on FB, like a page called April's Angels EYLF Help For Educators. She is FDC and posts daily with lots of examples, questions and information.
Other help can be found here. Particularly read newsletters 8, 9, and 10.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:

Underworld 1992-2002
- Words: Julia Chan
- Label: V2
From 1992 to 2002, Underworld rocked all that was raved-out and trance transcendent. Pretend this album's a time machine, and you can use it to travel throughout the '90s, listening to the duo progress ("Rez," "Cowgirl") and regress ("Two Months Off"). With the singles picked by Karl Hyde and Rick Smith themselves, (mostly) on-point production, and epic-sounding anthems to match any mood, fans will find plenty to love among these 16 tracks. And yes, "Born Slippy" is on it!

Facing Race Spotlight: Southern Artist Carlton Turner
Colorlines - Thu, 11/06/2014 - 20:04
Carlton Turner spends a lot of time on the road, but he calls the South--Utica, Mississippi--home. The musician and working artist has spent 10 years working with Alternate Roots, a Southern-focused network of artist/activists. It's work that's taken him from studios and churches all the way to the White House, where's he's discussed cultural policy with members of the Obama administration. On November 15 in Dallas, Turner will talk about confronting racism with art at Facing Race, the biennial conference held by Race Forward, Colorlines' publisher. Here, he discusses filling creative voids, the power of relationships and how we can better support young artists of color.
First off, tell me about the different hats you wear.The main hat [I wear] is the executive director of Alternate Roots, a 14-state network of artists who are doing work at the intersection of arts and activism in the South. Our network stretches beyond the South, but it focuses on the South. I've been on staff at the organization for over 10 years and I've been executive director for six years in February.
I came to Alternate Roots' staff as an artist, and I continue to be an artist. [I've] worked with a group called M.U.G.A.B.E.E, which is Men Under Guidance Acting Before Early Extinction. I cofounded it with my brother, Maurice. We've been doing performing-arts and community-engagement work through long-term community residencies since 1996. That has been mostly based in music and theater but has also ventured to other paths. We take our cues from the local community.When you started M.U.G.A.B.E.E., what void were you and your brother trying to fill?
The name comes from the idea that when we were growing up, black men were considered an endangered species. It was a time of the drug wars and gang wars and all the things that were continuing to dismantle [the] progress of black men. Much like what we've seen with Trayvon Martin and Jordan Davis, [black men] have been seen as a threat to the community. What we wanted to do was to bring about some positive music and art that could project a different type of black male presence, especially coming out of a Southern culture. We were beginning to see the fading of voices like Public Enemy and A Tribe Called Quest and the emergence of artists like Goodie Mob and Outkast, so we thought that our work could help bring a different type of voice from a black male perspective in the South than what we were seeing.
The South is sometimes ignored when we're talking about arts and contemporary activism on a national scale. For you, what makes arts and activism so unique in the region?
I think about all forms of African-centered cultural expression and popular forms of art in the United States -- music, theater, dance in the-- all originating in some from Southern culture. In many ways it comes out of plantation culture-- the fields, the hymns, the blues in soul and gospel music--and all those things that went on to create hip-hop, rock 'n' roll and R&B. If we're talking about cultural legacy and cultural production, it goes hand-in-hand with the forced labor of African-Americans in the South. Those things are very connected to one another. Anything that we're seeing today in pop culture originated in production you can trace back to black labor in the South.
What about contemporary activism?
In the South, we know that there can't be any movement-shifting without building authentic relationships. The movement base in the South is about relationships. That's why the church was such a strong part of the Civil Rights Movement, because people had long-standing relationships that traced back generations. It was easy to create a safety net for the movement. Those relationships don't exist at the same level that they once did, so we're seeing our movement base have issues with trying to be grounded and actually have a safe space.
How is that relevant to what we're seeing now in black activism?
What's happened in Ferguson--you saw police raiding a church. Police would never do that in the South during Jim Crow. Now, the Klan would burn churches down, and maybe some of those members were police officers, but they had to do it under the guise of a vigilante because it would be desecrating a safe and spiritually grounding space. Now, that doesn't happen in the same way.
You travel often for your work and you've gone to the White House and spoken to the president's team on culture. How do you think we can support young artists [of color] across the country?
Consistency, to me, is the missing element to a lot of the cultural practices we're seeing across the country. We'd rather see a one-night performance than to see an artist engaged in a 10-year dialogue with the community because it's hard to see how that manifests over time. I think what young artists could really benefit from is an open invitation to really engage with the community on a long-term basis. We're stuck in this economic model of hustling for tour sites and trying to hustle [our] work in a marketplace that only values the transaction, but I think we really need to put more value in the actual relationships.

In California, Trauma Experienced in Childhood a 'Public Health Crisis'
Colorlines - Thu, 11/06/2014 - 11:58
In Californa, one in six people has confronted severe trauma as a child, according to a new study (PDF) released this week by Bay Area-based health research and advocacy groups Center for Youth Wellness and the Public Health Institute. What's more, those experiences, classified as Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), can negatively impact the health of the adults children become.
The Center for Youth Wellness gathered four years of data on 27,745 Californians and found that 61.7 percent of people in the state had experienced one ACE, while 16 percent had experienced four more more. ACEs fall into three broad categories: abuse, neglect and "household dysfunction," which encompasses the incarceration of a family member, mental illness, divorce and substance abuse.
The more ACEs an adult has confronted, the higher their likelihood for serious illnesses like diabetes, stroke and cancer. Those who've experienced four or more ACEs, for example, are 2.2 times more likely to experience coronary artery disease.
In California the most common ACEs adults report experiencing are emotional and verbal abuse, followed by parental divorce or separation, and substance abuse by a family member. Asian-Americans are less likely to report having experienced ACEs, but by and large, childhood trauma is distributed roughly equally across people of all races. For instance, 16.4 percent of whites, 16.5 percent of blacks, 17.3 percent of Latinos and 11.1 percent of Asians report experiencing four or more ACEs. However, the percentage of those who experience high concentrations of ACEs is higher among those who are poorer and have less education.
Public health researchers in this emerging field have found that the accummulation of these negative life events and struggles constitutes toxic stress which can seriously impact children who are in the midst of important brain and cognitive growth, affecting their physical and mental health years down the line.
"It's a public health crisis," the Center for Youth Wellness's co-founder Dr. Nadine Burke Harris told KPCC. "This is not just a small percentage of the population - that it's happening in limited neighborhoods - but this is really all of us, and that's going to require system change."

Democrats Have a White Women Problem
Colorlines - Thu, 11/06/2014 - 11:45
When you look at Tuesday's election results by gender, it seems that the Democrats and Republicans split the women's vote pretty evenly, with a few percentage points in favor of Dems. But when you examine that data by gender and race, you'll get a wholly different picture that highlights an Achilles' heel for Democrats: white women.
Exit polls released by CNN show that white women's votes went to the Republicans by a margin of 13 percent. Fifty-six percent of white women voted Republican while only 43 percent voted Democrat.
And if you look at the numbers for black and brown women, you see just how big the race gap really is. Ninety percent of black women and 67 precent of Latina women voted Democrat. (It's worth noting that Black and Latino men also voted for Democrats more than white women did--86 and 58 percent respectively.) Even when you break it down by age, the white vote went to Republicans. These numbers mean even more when you consider that white people make up two-thirds of the electorate, with the vote evenly split between white men and women.
While the long game may be to focus on the emerging majority-of-color electorate, Democrats may be sacrificing today's elections by overlooking the power of the white women's vote. Both times that Barack Obama was elected president, there has been a pretty consistent line among advocates in the progressive feminist movement: "Women won the election." But a small-but-important detail is often omitted: He actually lost with white women.
"When you actually look at the numbers, it's women of color who have won the elections in spite of white women," says Lindsey O'Pries, a white progressive activist living in Richmond, Va. "We're not able to be critical of white women because we're not acknowledging what's happening. The refrain is, 'Women won the election.' But the credit is not being given where it is deserved."
Progressives have put a lot of time, energy and resources into cultivating black and brown voters. This is a commonsense approach--the numbers clearly show that if you bring them to the polls, they'll vote Democratic. And voter turnout is something even non-partisan 501 (c)(3) groups can do without restriction.
But O'Pries questions whether her get-out-the-vote (GOTV) tactics have their limits. "In Virginia, whenever I'm doing GOTV work, it's always in communities of color. But am I really the best ambassador of that? [Shouldn't] I be focusing more on my own people? And how do you do that in a comprehensive way?"
O'Pries says that with white voters, who already turn out at high numbers, the work has to be focused on changing minds and selling candidates. Republicans are clearly doing a better job than Democrats on that front.
This isn't the first election where the gap was so large between white women's and Latina and black women's Democratic vote. In the 2010 midterms, 58 percent of white women voted Republican while black and Latina women did so at 6 and 33 percent respectively.
People may finally be taking notice. Andrea Grimes, senior reporter for RH Reality Check, wrote passionately about the Democrat Wendy Davis' loss in the Texas gubernatorial race in an article appropriately titled "White Women: Let's Get Our Shit Together": "It was women like me--married white women, specifically--who failed Wendy Davis--and ourselves, and our families, and Texas families--on Tuesday night. According to exit polls, Black women, Black men, Latinas, and a near-majority of Latinos who voted turned out in solid numbers for Davis."
The major game-changer for the white-women's vote might be a presidential run for Hillary Clinton. She might resonate with white women voters in a way that Barack Obama--and his mostly white, male Democratic party--has not. But like the saying goes: The first step is admitting you have a problem. Democrats can't afford to wait for demographic shifts to change the game. They've got to get their own white majority on board. After all, as the recent past indicates, Republicans may use their power to keep communities of color from the polls, only further upping the ante for Democrats to figure out how to reach white women.

Forget Congress. Who's Running Your Statehouse?
Colorlines - Thu, 11/06/2014 - 11:38
So put aside the horrific examples John Oliver points out above of shenanigans happening in statehouses all across the country. (Truly. Horrific.) Fact is, Congress has a well-earned reputation for gridlock, whereas statehouses are where bills actually become laws--more than 24,000 this year alone, according to a Washington Post article cited by Oliver. That compares to Congress' 185 bills passed since January 2013. With that workhorse-meets-constipation disparity in mind then, consider that as of Tuesday, according to Facing South, the GOP further tightened its already dominant grip over the South, gaining 64 seats. (In Alabama, for example, the GOP controls every statewide elected office and all but one congressional seat.) Nationwide, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures, after final votes are tallied and recounted, "it appears that Republicans will have a net gain of between 350 and 375 seats and control over 4,100 of the nation's 7,383 legislative seats"--giving some indication of the thousands of laws to pass (or progressive legislation to stall) over the next few years on everything from abortion rights to low-wage labor organizing, paid sick leave, health care and more.
"Statehouses do a huge amount of work while no one is watching," Oliver says. He's right. Less than one-third of U.S. newspapers assign a reporter to the statehouse and nearly 90 percent of local TV news stations do not either, according to a Pew analysis released this July.

Ryan Potter of 'Big Hero 6' Talks About Hapa Actors, Diversity in Casting
Colorlines - Thu, 11/06/2014 - 11:00
"Big Hero 6" is Disney Pictures latest big film release and is set to hit theaters this weekend. Momo Chang at the Center for Asian American Media points out that the film itself is an homage to Japanese anime and also chatted with Ryan Potter, the 19-year-old voice actor for the film's main character, Hiro.
So the main character, Hiro, is hapa, Japanese and white, similar to your own background. Could you relate to the character?
I mean, I could relate to the character, simply from the fact that we look similar. But then when you dive in deeper, we're very similar, in the sense that when I set my mind to something, I get it done. Hiro's very much the same way. We both get tunnel vision. Hiro's much smarter than I am, but our intellect can get us into a little bit of trouble. Yeah, I mean, even when I walked into the audition the first time, I looked at the character design, and I thought, we kind of look similar!
The film also features a pretty diverse voiceover cast that includes Daniel Henney, Jamie Chung, Maya Rudolph, Damon Wayans, Jr. and Genesis Rodriguez. On that, Potter remarked:
When you hear the film, it sounds like we're in the same room at the same time but it's actually the opposite. We all record on our own, separately. And then the editors and sound engineers, they end up putting all the voiceover together. I mean, I worked with Maya Rudolph very briefly, maybe 20 minutes, max. But other than that, we all worked on our own.
Potter speaks to representation that's seriously lacking in Hollywood. According to a study from the University of Southern California, Asians made up just over four percent of speaking characters across last year's top 100 grossing movies.

MTV's 'Rebel Music' to Feature Indigenous Artists in North America
Colorlines - Thu, 11/06/2014 - 08:21
MTV is marking November's Native American Heritage Month by premiering a 30-minute episode of its "Rebel Music" series on young indigenous artists in North America. The series looks at socially conscious artists across the globe. This episode, for which renowned street artist Shepard Fairey serves as an executive producer, features stories of Frank Waln, Inez Jasper, Nataanii Means and Mike Clifford. They're all activists who channel their messages through art in an effort to combat the devastating realities of issues ranging from suicide to sexual assault in their communities.
Here's a sneak peek:
In a somewhat unconventional move, the episode will premiere on Rebel Music's Facebook page next Thursday, November 13 at 4pm EST/1pm PST. Stay tuned.
